    Let’s not forget we have a game on Wednesday against a Championship side who are more than likely going to beat us. This will be a further nail in Arteta’s coffin and will again expose his shortcomings. We will struggle to get aside out but in some ways it means Arteta will be forced into playing AMN and Reid Nelson and not before time. Let’s hope he leaves the useless Carthorse Xhaka out but I doubt it. There’s not much can be done about a Covid outbreak although it makes you wonder what measures were in place to prevent one, what baffles me is how a side can go into a new season with so many injured players. It’s the start of the season, what have they been doing in training and preparation for the new season. If they can’t cope with pre-season how will they cope during the season. Don’t be surprised if we lose this game and the pressure is piled onto Arteta The Arse.

    Big game for Arteta, lose this given that Sat morning is a write off and the pressure on him will be tremendous. Team selection, tactics, formation and attitude of the players will be all important. It’s obvious several of the the senior players want him out and a number of the Hale End Boys have just given up on him. For example we could only have 9 fit players and he still wouldn’t pick AMN or Reiss Nelson. Let’s see if they get into the side tonight

    Well I was right, he just won’t pick AMN under any circumstances, Tavares a cheap I left back plays at right back and no place for Nelson. Elneny & The Donkey get to play though.

    Tavares played well
    Pepe
    Auba
    Few other decent performances but many bad again

    Needed that win.Some players really impressed.
    Taveres first,auba second and even Ramsdale made some good saves.However,I want to see his leadership, his command and his communication with the defenders in the box.

    I will say this though,Our defence is absolute crap.Holding,Kola and Chambers aren’t fit to play for this club let alone as 2nd or 3rd choice.They got some chances,a better team would’ve taken it.I laugh at the fact that Arteta thinks they are good to play for this club.Mari deservedly dropped.

    Yes,It was a good romping today.But we will be at the other end of it this weekend.
    There’s absolutely no chance against City,No chance.So don’t expect Arteta to perform a miracle and don’t feed the agenda after the game.

    He will start being judged after the International break.

    Muffler – To be honest I think it was just a lesson to Mari that he chose that lineup at the back.The fact that he’s playing Kolasinac who’s about to leave the club over him after what he done at the weekend.

    Having said that,If that lineup starts a PL game they will get thrashed.You can have Leno and Ramsdale both at goal and even still.

    I will say this again,We need to sign at least one more defender before the window shuts.An experienced defender.A quality defender.Because if Holding and Mari are going to be out backups it will just be pure comedy.
    While we are at it,I think we should go for Aouar or Ramsey as well.

    I prefer the latter but wouldn’t mind either because Aouar as well is a different type of player to what we have in midfield and can play in a 3 man midfield which I doubt we can now.

    We did not play WBA first team here so lets not get carried away.

    As for dropping Mari that was correct but he could have done so without the useless muppet Kola. Just move Chambers in CB and pla AMN at RB.

    Anyway we won and scored goals so Im happy with that.

    What’s pleased me the most was Aubameyang. From the first minute was he pressed the West Brom defence I could see he was really up for it. Let’s hope last year was a blip for him and with personal issues, Malaria and COVID behind him he can have a great season, because that he has the ability to carry us.

    He was much better and as you say he pressed from minute one tho it was disjointed as others didn’t at the same time
    Our press is awful and yet when we are pressed we crumble
    Hate playing from the back ever!!!
    Ramsdale did well also not amazing but a decent first game and I already prefer him to Leno

    Bizarre defensive set up with Kolasinac a left back playing in the centre of defence. As usual Holding was our most reliable defender and no doubt Mari was being saved for Saturday. Don’t be surprised if we play with 3 CD’s against City. Saka was our best player closely followed by Abameyang who is so much more effective playing centrally. Interesting that the man Arteta refuses to play AMN created a goal within 2 minutes of coming on. We shouldn’t get carried away The Baggies handed out 5 debuts and fielded an U23 side so beating them tells us nothing. Let’s see what sort of side Arteta chooses for Sat.

    a wins a win so well done to the team.i think we have to take
    this competition seriously along with the fa cup this season.
    i think we have the youngest team & squad in the prem lge now
    and if the club is going down that route then there will
    probably be more bumps than successes these next few seasons.
    on the game i thought odeggard back was just class.always
    wants the ball,doesn’t hide,and great skill in setting up
    saka.thought aub looked hungry when he came on in the chelski
    game and it was great to see him score a hat-rick even if the
    opposition was very poor.my MOTM as the toughest job in
    football is putting the ball in the back of the net and i’m
    hoping he can kick on now cause we need it big time.all i
    want saturday is to see a performance whereby you can at least
    see what direction we are going or trying to get too.can’t
    see nothing but a citeh win but let’s try and give them some
    problems and let them earn the goals not gift them on a plate.
    our season starts sept 11th home to norwich.what a huge game
    that now is.hopefully the club can get another 2 signings in
    but we’ll wait and see.
