I'm expecting a team half full of stiffs for this one.
Tomi at RB, usual two at CB, Slugchenko at LB, Martinelli if fit on the left, Partey and Jorginho CM, Trossard right side, ESR and the feather through the middle.

He has to mix things up with the amount of games we have this month.

Potential banana skin but it’s a must win.

Think it will be scrappy - hoping for a 1-0

No excuses. Should be a nailed on win. Could go back top of the league.

Today was awful...in footballing terms... Hopefully we get back to playing like we have been. IMO we probably need to win almost every game, if we start stuttering like we did last season, it's over. Cannot start the bench against this lot either or we'll end up chasing the game. We need to make a statement, the thought of the scousers winning the title is unbearable.

I would be shocked if he changed it this much. No way will we see ESR. Think you will see Tommy, Zinchenko and Partey all start though.

I would rather we continue with inverting White on the rhs who combines well with Saka and Odegaard rather than Zinchenko come in and just disrupt what had been working well as he doesn’t really link up with anyone particularly.
One or two rested is fine, but we can’t afford to think this game is going to be an easy ride - Luton have caused many of the top clubs big problems including us at their place.

Saka, Martinelli, Trossard and Jesus all have their merits, none are 100% right now so all potentially play their part, maybe even Nketieh gets some minutes towards the end, seems like months since he has even stepped onto the pitch

These cun.ts will try and get "Physical" so we need to do what we do best, play our fast, attacking, precise passing game and destroy the fuckers... and hope we have no injuries.

Don't expect Saka or Martinelli to play; apparently Martinelli played with his stitches still in and had pain killer jab.

Could be an opportunity for ESR to shine... if zinchenko, the feather and the cocktail stick play; which they may well do... we could struggle. :?


Every Prem Game is now a 'Final'.

These lot will be fighting for their lives...always seem to get these relegation threatened teams getting shock results when they are staring at relegation and presumably a drop in pay....

Can’t take liberties and rest too many players against this lot. After a hard earned point yesterday, we need to get back to making a statement win. As others have said, this mob are fighting for everything and making life difficult for everyone they play. An error to take them lightly.

Maybe bench one of Saka or Martinelli and give Trossard a start and maybe rest a full back, but don’t touch the centre halves and although Rice might need a rest, I’d be very nervous with Partey and Jorginho in midfield.

Get 2 or 3 in front, than make changes. Given the situation with Liverpool ahead of us and City just behind, we can’t slip up.

Given that Liverpool will destroy Sheffield on Thurs, we can't be dropping any points here. TBH We can't afford to drop any points rest of season but we'll have to see what happens.

C'mon Arsenal!!

I've gotta be up for work the next morning and asked if they'd mind starting a bit earlier. Hope it doesn't interfere with your arrangements, Stuart.
