    Spurs thrashed Palace 4-0 at Selhurst Park last season, and Palace are coming off a 4-0 thrashing from Newcastle last weekend.

    It’s not looking good bros.

    Even though they are very effective, I’ve watched a few games of “Angeball” now and I am genuinely surprised that people are acting as if it’s the most entertaining football they’ve ever seen

    Why are we in for Zubimendi when he’s a 6? We suffer from low chance creation, how will he fix that?

      I think it’s because we don’t play through the middle enough without Partey.

      Rice is a little slower in progressing and likes building up wide down the left or hitting a big switch out to Saka and bypassing Odegaard. Need someone to find a pass through midfield quickly before the opposition defense is set and then I think our chance creation will go up.

    No Partey and Jesus how do we line up?

    Would love to see Fabio at LCM and Havertz CF

      I would like that too. Fabio wasn’t great against Spurs but unlucky to barely see the pitch since then as he started well and we basically need to keep trying LCM options lol.

      White Salibs Gabi XI Zinchenko

      Odegaard Rice Vieira

      Saka Havertz Martinelli

      Tomi probably comes on for White around the 70th min for a mini rest before West Ham, Eddie, Nelson, Trossard, Kiwior, ESR all to start against West Ham.

        Have we played with Zinny and Havertz CF at the same time? Seems like a good combination on paper as we got the options of Zinny’s press beating passing at the back and the long ball to Havertz

          Doubt we’d risk both of them in the same game, at the same time, especially when Tomi has to possibly start at RCB against West Ham so saliba can get a rest in the cup with his toe injury and all.

      Most attacking line-up possible please. We need to spank them for our goal-difference. Sheffield are the worst team in the league.

    Its time to think about trossard/zinchenko left 8. Kai can’t play there, and with Thomas “Glass” Partey missing, I dont wont anyone at 6 but Dec.
    But obviously what Arteta is going to do is play Rice 8, Jorg 6 and Nketiah upfront, im so done with not having a consistent starting 11 for more than 2-3 weeks lol

    • KSBrian007@alien.topBEnglish

      Odegaard can, but Kai Havertz isn’t yet up to speed with his role. If he’s not by June, that’s where names like Zubimendi come in.

      For a Sheffield… Trossard would cook at LCM, and Tomi can invert at LB if he’s worried about defensive stability

    I genuinely want someone to crunch the numbers and figure out how many games #5 has been fit and available for us. Because between injuries and police station appearances, he’s gotta be hovering at around 50% availability

    Can’t wait to bin the twat

      WE have binned him, Rice is our new 6, Partey is backup.

      Unfortunately our replacement of Xhaka hasn’t gone so well and RIce is also our best Xhaka replacement which is rather annoying, especially since with TImber being injured Partey is also our third choice right back, which becomes second choice when Zinny is injured and Tomi is second choice left back too.

      Transfermarkt says he’s missed 51 games for Arsenal since joining.

      How is this calculated and how much of that is the Spurs save? I can’t remember many saves that weren’t routine other than that one.

    While in the summer i was all for selling partey, his contribution to the winning goal against city makes him staying worth it

    Sick of injured players it’s so fucking annoying. Impossible for us to win the league with this Lack of quality in the first team. Save money and in the summer get a top CM, a super top amazing striker and a decent CM.

      It’s like people forget we broke the British transfer record to do exactly this and the reason we’re not languishing in mid table is because Partey isn’t our starting 6

    Replacing players every year is not sustainable and likely no bueno in the long run

    May I add this is not what Papa Wengz taught us (now don’t go clinging on to this to make arguments 🙄)
