Surprised we have gone unchanged but can’t say the lads you played so well vs Man City don’t deserve it.

No Olsen

No Olsen

Wonder if he's injured? I was kind of expecting him to play against Zrinjski.

[AGRIPPA]

No Olsen

He weren’t in the squad on Wednesday either….UTV!!

[Monty]

Damn good Arsenal team I must say.

True. Looking at the bench it's strong though I'd like to see some competition back up in central midfield. Competition is near impossible. Big Tim should be knocking on that door.

 I see Unai doesn't believe in any rotation. We had a tough gig on Wednesday and this could be a match too far I fear. No changes for us and they have had an extra days rest

Damn good Arsenal team I must say.

As close to their first choice eleven as possible I think. I think we're the same though, so it's a good match up - no excuses for either side!

[PaulWinch again]

Win please.

[Toronto Villa]

I just hope for two straight games we can raise ourselves to the same levels. It’s going to be really hard, but this is the challenge as Emery was saying in his press conference. We need to get comfortable with this level and expectations.

Is it? I rarely pay them much attention. I just hope the ref doesn't buy a Saka dive in our box.

I think Raya could be the weak link for them. Didn't look great against Luton.

[Toronto Villa]

Luton really played well and got into them. We won’t be as charitable at the back and we need to take our chances. Like Man City we cannot allow them to have the ball for any length of time. They have the ability to tear us open. Take the game to them right from the off.
