emery in the end united us all. It was beautiful.

He did give us our Arsenal back

 

[Kav]

Emery was trash for about 6 months and got what he deserved.

 

[Arsenio Venger]

How? Zaha had a price tag we couldn’t meet, so we looked elsewhere.

We bid 40M, apparently, which was rejected, as Palace wanted 80-100m.

We paid like 72 million for Pepe. Palace would’ve taken that for Zaha

 

[Lidl_Reed]

There are 25 people who think we'll win

 

[Dregen57]

Why not? City haven't been that great this season.. We can do it

 

[SingmeasongSong]

ManU beat City several times, we battered ManU - nothing is impossible, but we gotta have that pinch of luck

 

[yorch44]

His ‘system’ is overrated. His system is Salah, Mane and Bugs ****ing Bunny. And VVD. That’s it.

They outscored Barcelona without Salah and Firminho. The only overrated thing here is the like in your post

i miss emery

Emery please leave the forum, your disguise is so obvious

By the law of rock, scissors and paper... We lose against city. We beat ManU, they defeat City and City win against us

Another thing that's got me worried is their incessant fouls. Hope Anthony Taylor doesn't put up with it. They spoil your rhythm with so much fouls. Regularly fouling players who aren't back to full fitness can cause injuries.

That said, City have a phobia of fast players. They couldn't live with Adama in both legs of their games against wolves this season.

Same also in their games against utd, their backline were run ragged by United's speedsters. Arteta was present for both games. Hope he deploys Martinelli. They're going to have a nightmare defending against him.

I don't think Martinelli will start but Arsenal will have plenty of pace with Saka, Auba & especially Pepe.

No they wouldn't. Not in the way the installments were structured in Pepe deal.

Will Areteta play it "safe" and play tried and failed experience players, or will he be brave and select a team with a blended experience with starlets?

Either way, the result is what will matter here. If he plays experience, we better win. If he blends with youngsters, we can draw and that will feel be a proud point.

If we get battered, it shows he didn't prepare the team properly.

If we get battered, which is more than likely, it just shows that City's squad has a lot more quality. We have a mediocre midfield and a poor defence. It says nothing about Arteta, he didn't buy these players. Virtually none of our players would get in their squad.

If we draw or win, we're either very lucky or Arteta has turned into a magician.

Just had my first twinge of football excitement since March. Then I remembered we still have Xhaka, Mustafi & Kroenke!

 

[GoonerJay24]

Leno
Bellerin Sokratis Mari Tierney
Xhaka
Niles Willock
Pepe Aubamayang Martinelli

 

[A_G]

"First time this season" Arteta luck is it? @Makingtrax

 

[boxerumble]

Counting down the hours until kick off. Gotta say I'm thrilled we're back to playing, not so thrilled about being away to Man City. Think we'll score one but they'll beat us convincingly.

So has someone finally the answer to as to why Saliba cannot join the squad ?

Rules seem to allow it now and he has been registered at the beginning of the season unlike other club's signings.

Don't get it.

I don't get it either but apparently Raul has confirmed that Salaiba can only train with us, he cant play competitively for us until 20/21 season. I guess we registered him because he IS an Arsenal player, but on loan.
