Sicario2 that's not too bad if true. Means Gyok, Martinelli and Ode should be available hopefully.
Sicario2 oh FFS, can't believe Jesus won't be fit!
*update from me 8pm GMT
Saturday will see the return of Gyokeres.
He will barge Romero out the way and then bang one in doing the biggest Bane celebration you’ve yet to see. Big manly forearms on show as they crowd are elated
lorddulaarsenal actually Romero is the kind of player that will snap and give a pen or get a red with all that physical pressure if Gyok is fit. Bring it on.
Have to admit I think this has banana skin all over it.
Post international break, Frank knowing is well, and missing quite a few key players.
MistaT big time. Plus Merino up front and no Gabriel 😮💨
Just don't mess up the tifo this time...
Must win banana skin 🍌
Sicario2 kolo muani this is for you ...
That Sunderland fiasco will have given the rest of the league a few ideas.
This may be a tough game.
SimplyThePest what Sunderland did was hardly rocket science.
But this is a big test given the circumstances and context we find ourselves in. If we get 3 or more of our attackers back (even on the bench) I back us to win though.
SimplyThePest Sunderland got lucky, you can't repeat that by copying their plan.
Sicario2 Exactly, it was markedly effective (relative to other approaches we've faced this season) and I imagine that that our opponents will have taken note of it.
Fully expect Spurs to go with a similar approach this weekend.
Qwiss I kinda agree, I kinda don't. We were the superior team offensively but I'd be surprised if you didn't think Sunderland's more intangible tactics didn't rattle us.
Qwiss one can take the same approach and hope that it results in the same 'luck'. Thomas Frank is partial to that style of football, for better or worse.
To be clear, I think we should win.
Don Pacifico I thought we had a bit of a slow first half but we ran rings around them in the second half. It was our own tactics at the end that caught us out. Tactically I don't think they did anything brilliant that Spurs can replicate.

I'm skeptical of "tactics" that rely on the ref being a berk but considering the one for this match we should expect a repeat.
Just realised this is on Sunday. Ah well frees up tomorrow arvo for chores and errands
lorddulaarsenal the neverending laundry for a family of four. Oh, the laundry.
