Arsenal v Burnley Sat 1st November 3 PM

Sicario2

The more boring non drama games the better. Keep going, save the energy for when we need it.

I would make whole game changes on Tue.

Any news on VG?

Mirth

The idea that we can go to Burnley, score from corners and keep a clean sheet is healing some deep seated trauma.

Sicario2

Gunner89 this game and next week are huge in the context of the title race. We are making our opponents very nervous. Utd dropping points is good too as don’t want them to gain too much momentum.

Ray

10 in 4 for Gyokeres in the league, keep this up and he will get 15 - 20 league goals this season.

Mirth

God dammit

Mirth what was it?

Mirth

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

I'm looking forward to the international break just so these guys stay home

Gunner89

Mirth

Don't need him at praha

hope he is fine for sunderland

CPM

Mirth It does seem like the players are being instructed to come off for little niggles since we have such a big squad. We had the game won at halftime.

Mirth

Gunner89 yep, hopefully it's like Saliba's and Calafiori's knocks from last week.

TambourineMan

We've had injuries in every game. It's insane.

JazzG

Good win, not seen the goals so can’t comment on the performance but good to see another clean sheet.

Hearing gyokeres had a good first half which is a big positive.

Pepe LeFrits

JazzG Hearing gyokeres had a good first half which is a big positive.

Probably his best 45 for us

CPM

JazzG He was very good. He is a lot more comfortable when he has a physical advantage over opposing center backs. That's unfortunately not going to happen every week in the Prem.

Worrying if Gyok misses any games. Merino is too slow and stodgy and our game changes drastically from front to back.

Klaus

Think a backup striker is a must in January. Havertz has been out for basically a year and Jesus is finished. Can't trust either of them as far as you can throw them, and Merino is blatantly a midfielder. Berta better be working on something.

CPM

Klaus You can trust Havertz plenty.

awooga83

Didn't get to see the game but exactly what we need to keep the pressure on our rivals and start to build that reputation of being ruthless and eroding their belief that we will slip up.

Klaus

CPM Except for the last year apparently.

JazzG

CPM I don’t have particularly High expectations from him, but against teams like Burnley he needs to be dominant and performing. We just have to accept against the very top defenders who can match him physically he will find it hard. That is okay though but I am glad to hear that today his general link play was very good as he needed to improve there. He has played a lot without any rest or rotation so I think the midweek rest probably helped him look a bit sharper

Mirth

Klaus Im confident Havertz will be fine. He’s had two bad injuries but they’re unrelated and not recurring - all injuries aren’t made equal. Timber’s similar - he had a bad injury but his physical base is way higher.

Players like Calafiori or Jesus have been injury prone since they were teenagers. It’s bad luck but that’s where the risk is.

Klaus

Mirth I'm not nearly as confident. When someone's out for the better part of a year with two unrelated injuries it makes them unreliable in my book. Last week a 17 year old kid had to start for us. Havertz can come back and prove that he's able to stay fit from now on, but I don't want us to depend on it in any way.
