Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert hahahaha it makes sense if players are doubts or if we are unsure if they are going to be playing.
Zubimendi v that physical Newcastle central midfield will be the most interesting battle.
Not many complaints about the starting XI. A win here will kickstart the league season so we need to go for it.
Dowman's ahead of Nwaneri in the pecking order?
Mirth Ethan travelled so he probably felt or pulled something in training.
Mirth seems like Maduekes out so Dowman the next RW
Interesting that Are a isn't trying to play our bigger players against them.this year. Good move I think, we've never looked great trying to just put muscle them. Let's play them off the park now.
Nwaneri must be injured. He's been decent this season.
Dom apparently he travelled up with the team. Maybe Arteta prioritised Dowman as Odegaard can come on for Eze.
Good lineup, beautiful bench
Anyway we've got Saka back for this so we're gonna win. Best player in the league bar none.
damn, mosquera is so good arteta isn't playing saliba 3x in a week coming back from injury.
Happy enough with that. Hope we win!
Really sucks that Noni is out because I'm going to wince every time Saka makes a sprint over the next few weeks.
Newcastle squads looking strong as well. Going to be a real battle in midfield today. Rice has been quiet recently, been slowly improving but needs to find his level here.
Good team with some impactful options off the bench - looking forward to seeing Eze central
Burnwinter you're just focused on it more than for other teams. When you win it dies down, when you lose it gets louder. Arteta is also a meme generator. This is just how it goes. Get a win today and the conversation will swing heavily. If we win I can see some Wirtz grumbling start to get traction.
Let's fucking smash these barcodes!
Come on you Gunners!
And the hacking of Saka begins already from Joelinton. He needs to be booked early, he's a thug
How the hell do you lose four of the last five to bloody Newcastle? These farmers haven't won four out of their last five games against League Two opponents.
Klaus by not having Eze and Gyokeres 😉
Saka chopped down within a minute
