Draw Champions League Group Stage: PSV Einhoven 1 - 1 Arsenal | Tuesday 12th December | KO: 17:45 GMT | TNT Sports

Prediction

PSV 1-1 Arsenal

 

[Sebastes]

Both Vieira and ESR are out for this one, no?

Trossard Nketiah Nelson
Nwaneri Jorginho Havertz
Cedric Kiwi White Walters
Ramsdale

This is what I’m hoping for. Havertz hasn’t played too much and can be part of this. Can’t play Jorgi and Elneny together

 

[Synical]

Genuine question: why is Cedric still here?

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Even that bench will get bored of his Tets-fueled rants.

Is Ramsdale dad farzad?

Great spirit to have in the locker room, top cheerleader

Can’t put a price on that

They can pay to me to be a cheerleader. I wouldn't even need to be paid actually

 

[Tnegs]

Based on the most recent figures, a single victory in the group stage is worth €2.8 million (£2.4m/$3m) and a draw is worth €930,000 (£783k/$1m).

Still something decent to play for although I hope we avoid using any first team players.

So you get prize money for just winning group games? Even if it doesn’t make a difference?

The fact you can get 2.8m for that shows how much money there is in this competition and sport, mad.

...this isn't a starting 11, this is an 11 of players who shouldn't even travel to Holland for this match.

We have got a very rare opportunity of a literal "free game" , when you are a big club going for multiple trophies this is a chance to rest players that we can't pass up.

Don't care who plays or what formation we use, don't even care if we lose heavily here...but will be super pissed if any of our starting 11 play this.

Actually I would start those 11. We can’t use the squad players for this game

 

[MikeVinna]

I’d essentially only play first teamers who’ve already been in rotation. Any nailed on starters for us should be on the bench or at Colney. I’d also be pretty annoyed if Ramsdale isn’t given his CL debut. He helped get us here so he deserves a game. He might even deserve more than one game but oh well.

GK - Ramsdale
RB - Cedric
CB - Walters
CB - Kiwior
LB - Myles-Skelly
DM - Elneny
CM - Jorginho
AM - Trossard
LW - Nelson
RW - Nwaneri
CF - Nketiah

Anything else is daft.

 

[Tnegs]

Great opportunity to try out some emergency defenders because we might actually need them.

And midfielders and anyone who can find the goal.

That’s great shout and very similar to my team. I would have cozier on the right and nwaneri in the middle instead of trossard who should stay home. Also Sousa for miles who should come on second half. Personally I don’t think we will get anything close to that and expect first team minus saka and Jesus on the bench

But Walters will be interesting. Been on the bench several times. If the manager don’t trust him to play in a meaningless game like this. Why ever be on the bench

It’s an important observation to make tomorrow.

 

[Makavelii]

It would be unforgivable if a player gets injured in this match. I could understand if it was a game where we were fighting for the top spot, but this is a friendly. We have important fixtures against Brighton and Liverpool; why risk anything? I hope Arteta reasons the same way.

It’s not a friendly.

The winner here gets 2.5 million euros.
Same as all champions league group game wins.

That’s significant money that can be used in transfers.

First defence of the madness Arteta will chaos. The significance of 2.5 million. What’s next respect for the competition?

We won the group. 2.5 million euros don't matter as we're not a club from a lower league who would benefit massively from that amount.

It shouldn't matter for a club our size or impact our readiness for a match several magnitudes more important than this dead rubber.
