Arsenal.. Away: pre match thread...

Recommended Posts

Posted

Arsenal don't have the greatest record on the opening day, but i'd still be extremely happy with a draw.  We need to navigate our way through a really tough opening few weeks

As long as we play well and create chances I won't mind losing. We have to keep up a good spirit during these first six or so.

Now that Mahrez has come out and said he wants to leave, do we drop him and play Gray and plan life without him?

 

 

Absolutely not.  He is our best player and while he is here he should play.

Horrible opening fixture to be given.. Never beat them! 

...Performance important here more than the result, as can't see us getting anything from this. 

2-1 defeat. 

Vardy with our goal.

Are you injured ?

Mahrez is our best player and although he's asked to leave, he's still contributing to the team and had a decent preseason, without kicking up a fuss like others often do (Sanchez etc.).

 

ESPECIALLY with the game against Arsenal, who are essentially his only real suitors, he'll probably put in a top rate performance. It may be with the intention of prompting Wenger to splash the cash (ha!) but regardless, its good for us,

 

He has his moments but he's no drama queen like a lot of the big players at big sides. As a club we'll have sat him down and said to him that, in our eyes (and his) he's one of the best players in the league, and certainly a cut above the likes of Barkley and Siggurdson. So if they're rated at £40-50m, then he's worth AT LEAST that and we wont sell for less.

I may be wrong but I think he'll accept that, and if no offers come in that we agree with, he'll stay.

 

 

 

I'd start him, for sure.

 

Schmeichel

Simpson - Morgan - Maguire - Fuchs

Mahrez - Iborra - N'didi- Albrighton

Iheanacho - Vardy

Mahrez James Ndidi Albrighton

Thanks looks good, we only arrive an hour before the game so wouldn't gave had long to hunt one down

It is a few minutes walk from the railway station, and the train from the airport is quick and efficient.

We never beat these, to the point that whilst we are both in the premier league, I consider our season to be 36 games long and anything gained from these is a bonus.  

 

I work in a team with 6 other lads.  Two don't like football and two are big gooners.  Gonna be hell at work.

why on earth would we not start mahrez, he's our best player 

Because we're on FT, opinions come before facts.
