Err, we're 5 points ahead, and they still have to play today. Apart from that, good post

 

[TAMUS]

I remember Arsenals Reserves sticking six past us , it really was a fixture to fear , but Wegnars gone now , two forwards there that could get into anyside , Will be a handful .

 

[bertieblade]

Fleck to sit on the ball?

 

[bornablade]

Watched them against Leeds the other night. Second half they played with a passion. Not seen that from an Arsenal team in yonks. Arteta could be a good fit.

Won't be easy but still have 100% belief in Wilder and Knill to do the business

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

Fleck's going to make Ozil his bitch. Same with Mousse and Luiz. Lot of individual battles we can win easily and dominate them. Their forwards the obvious concern.

 

[South London Blade]

Cool your jets people. They still demand respect and could easily give is a pasting with the platers in their squad. Let's not get too cocky.

 

[Pedro's Winger]

Play like last night and we're going to get well beaten.
Need to strengthen in January to freshen us up a bit.

first half last night agreed - thought we were much better after the break.

Better but still a long way from the standards set.
Some of the passing was abysmal and bit worried about Lunny and Didzy seemingly running out of steam.

I‘d go with Besic next Saturday. We need another Didzy, no one else in the squad gives us what he does. But for a younger, similar player we’re paying silly money.

he'd pay a price with Wilder I suspect......but what price to become a legend?

of course it might be 2 by next Saturday, but it's another key measure of our current plight that we are going to games with Arsenal at this stage of the season fighting for Europa league slots with each other

True but we're now in the league where paying silly money is the norm.

Aubameyang sent off, misses the game.

Great for us, he's their best player by far

 

[Sheffsteel]

Aubamayang sent off, misses the game.

Good news for us.

I saw the Aubamayang foul....the ref gives a yellow.
In slow motion it looked a really nasty challenge...high studs coming down on the players ankle....
However in real time you can see that Aubamayang didn’t come in with that much speed or weight....it was basically a half hearted reckless strikers challenge.

Technically it was a red card but using common sense possibly a little harsh....some refs would deem that the challenge wasn't strong enough to be so dangerous.

The lad went off injured so still pretty bad I would suggest

Gods looking down on us again after last night ... Europe, Europe here we come

 

[blade too long]

Or bam a yang being out is a big help

Europe here we come

 

[Trafford]

And respect to him, he didn’t milk the situation to get him sent off, he actually got up and tried to run it off!
