Arsenal are in for him according to Romano https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1352260579998781441?s=20

Need to go with the mentality that there are no easy games.. We were complacent against teams like Fulham while missing key defensive players and got suckered on the counter. Would like to think we've learned our lesson from those games + with a settled back 4 and Ndidi back we shouldn't be getting our pants pulled down so easily. 4 points in our next 2 games to finish off January will be an excellent month for us.

His game time has been restricted due to 1. playing without wingers earlier in the season due to the injury crisis 2. Albrighton playing so well 3. Recent injuries 4. Rodgers not seeing him as a player to bring on where we are narrowly winning and need to close the game out (Newcastle, Southampton etc.) Almost all his appearances in the Prem were in games where we were either losing or level. With Albrighton playing so well I can only see him being started in the cups and brought on as an impact sub in the Prem games, unless Albrighton is injured or needs resting.

I think it will be out of us, Spurs and Everton for 4th. If we can avoid injuries to key players and get the squad rotation right for the Cup competitions, I think we'll get 4th.

Rest as many as possible for Everton. Question mark over who plays alongside Mendy as ideally would rest Youri but limited alternatives, so will probably end up playing him. We can use this second team with the odd tweak for the next 2 round of the cup and next round of the Europa League. Ward Ricardo Amartey Soyüncü Thomas Mendy ???? Ünder Perez Barnes Iheanacho

This could work in their favour tonight if he has the support of the dressing room but can see all the superstars he signed last summer not giving a sh*t.

They wanted 70 mill + for him last Summer.

Evans and Ndidi were our best performers today.

Would be a good deal if could get him now for 20 mill giving him some game time in the Europa league and off the Bench in the prem

good 3 points today. Thought Evans and Fofana were great at the back against a physical Newcastle team.

Yep no way does a player of his quality sign on 33k a week, so those might be his old wages from when he was on loan . It was reported he was on around 120k per week when he signed.

He needs to play centrally behind the striker or in a front 2. If we didn't have anyone who could naturally play on the right wing Yesterday then maybe a system similar to what we used against SU was the better option with Perez and Barnes playing behind Nacho and the width coming from our wingbacks.

Park the bus, tire them out and bring on Vardy at 70 mins! Need a big shift from Choudhury and Mendy in the middle of the park

He's a powerful pacey winger who can be v effective in a counter attack system but needs to improve his end product especially crossing when playing out on the wide right. Liverpool were v interested in him last Summer but Watfords asking price of 40 mill ended their interest. Maybe his price would come down if Watford fail to secure promotion this season and he tries to force a move. A lot will depend on how Under does in the second half of the season as he looks more of a player who can go past opposition defenders who sit deep with his dribbling skill and can also put a decent cross in.

Fergie, Klopp and Pep combined would not have won the league that season!

Go with the same set up as we did against spurs with Albrighton/Justin combo taking care of the Martial/Rashford threat on Utds left, Ndidi on Bruno in the middle and hit them fast counter attacks
