Let’s hope that a few players pick up some ‘injuries’ that might just keep them out of the stupid nations league games after this, but aren’t too serious that they’re then back ok and rating to go for the prem the following week
Can see Arsenal being up for it more than us today. They seem to be rising mentally, even if they are still ****
fair play for some of their results since the restart, but they’ve rode their luck too - hopefully that stops and we tank them
we dominated our game that they won. Even Arteta was surprised that they won. Anything like that again and we win by 2 goals. That said, they are dangerous and under Arteta, have more backbone...and if they improve by 5% and we are off last year by 5% (we were well off towards the end of the season), they will win.
Winner will prob be whoever is the fittest over 90 minutes. Given we’ve only had 2 pre season games and arsenal 1, can’t imagine quality will be good.
Its not usually the greatest game anyway, but I can see this being a poor spectacle. The real kick off is a few days away, last thing you want is to pick up an injury in this.
