Arsenal v Bayern Munich Wed 26th Nov 8 PM KO

Phil

est Assuming you're right, White, MLS and Martinelli are all easily dropped in and we don't lose much quality. Can't see how any of Timber, Trossard/Eze, or Cal should be on the pitch.

hopefully dowman is with the u19s in preparation for their home game against bayern and not hurt. he needs to get some game time and playing against peers closer to his age and actually dominating them would be a good sign.

Sicario2 That is brilliant on Havertz! I've missed him.

Be amazing to have all these players back and fingers crossed for no more one in one out on the injury front.

DiabyKungFu

I think that probably confirms that the "minor relapse" that Nagelsmann talked about for Havertz was whatever happened to him after the Man U game and isn't some new thing that happened.

Phil

It would be so good to have a second striker again... Instead of falling off a cliff when Gyok is injured.

Meatwad

how did we fall off a cliff? that was our most productive game from open play this season.

Phil

Meatwad

I mean when Gyok is injured, we revert to Merino, which is falling off a cliff, given he doesn't have proper forward movement. Havertz would help fix that.

Qwiss

Meatwad TBF we did drop points to Sunderland in his absence.

I'm really hoping we get a good sustained spell of having Gyok and Havertz available. It'll take us up another level.

USArsenal

Yeah, gotta say.. we didnt exactly crawl away and die. 2 wins and an unlucky draw (while scoring 9 goals). We've certainly had worse runs.

Phil I mean when Gyok is injured, we revert to Merino, which is falling off a cliff, given he doesn't have proper forward movement. Havertz would help fix that.

I mean Havertz is closer to Merino stylistically than he is to Gyok. Either way our results haven't suffered with Merino really.

Meatwad

Phil
it was kinda obvious that's what you meant. i'm saying we didn't fall off a cliff by playing merino. we performed better than normal ... i guess that's climbing the cliff?

in fact we would have been better off playing merino even if viktor was healthy because the spurs cbs would have ate up his runs into the channels. a false 9 dropping into midfield had their 3 central defenders wondering who to mark.

City name 10 changes today against Leverkusen. Leverkusen are bad but I want that type of rotation and a win.

Sicario2

tazmania Tasmania"#

We should be beating Bayern

tazmania

Sicario2 that's their full squad, no?

Qwiss

Burnwinter Could turn out to be wrong, but I doubt we will rest many.

I could see zero changes tbh. With players coming back Arteta might delay his rotation for a week.

Sicario2 we should be beating that team.

CPM

Yeah, the Bundesliga is a farmers' league these days, I expect a statement win at home.

Sicario2

tazmania missing Luis Diaz and their number 10

Gunner89

Pep resting the entire lot today and we should too

Mathematically 2 wins will take us top 8 finish and we have 2 minnows to come

USArsenal

Gunner89 Pep resting the entire lot today and we should too

Yep, and how did that work out for him?

TambourineMan

Nah, for pride let's smash Bayern and then we can play the full 2nd string in each of our last three games.

We also have an opportunity to rest one or two against Brentford at home next midweek.

Gunner89

USArsenal

a loss here doesn’t matter much at all

16 points was enough last season for top 8 and we have 2 minnows to come, we aren’t winning anything by winning the group phase, all we need is a top 8 finish

Losing points here matters nothing in comparison to the weekend

lorddulaarsenal

Gunner89 top 8 is our everything
