Massive game tonight, not only in the context of the season but possibly our legacy as well


We have home advantage and a hoodoo recently over Arsenal having not lost to them for 7/8 years in the PL. We need to make this advantage count. And I think we will

It will be a tough fixture, make no mistake. Missing Ake is a blow but Laporte is more than capable. But Arsenal have injury concerns of their own. Let them worry about our attack with no Saliba and maybe Xhaka.

A close game 2-1 Haaland and Jackie

That's the line up most are predicting. Alas Pep doesn't do predictable.

One change for Arsenal from the side that started the 3-3 draw with Southampton last Friday.

Granit Xhaka is back for Fabio Vieira, who is on the bench.

Akanji left back? We must buy a left back in the summer. Losing Ake was always going to be a nightmare. Biggest match of the season too.

The rest of the side looks strong. Attack Zinchenko. He’s dodgy defensively and I suspect will get too worked up for this match.

I see PeP trusts Laporte as much as I trust him !!!

This fucking lack of a LB is always coming back to haunt us - Arsenal will rip that side of the pitch up and nearly every attack will come from that side IMO.
We need to be rock solid at the back.

I feel as though if I don’t moan about the team it’s going to be bad luck. So….

“Fuckin Phillips should be nowhere near our bench! I’ll drive him to Liverpool”
