Nice little earner for the club. It's probably a Cat A fixture.

Assuming they sell. Have had mine waiting for resale for nearly 2 weeks and it's a decent seat too.

The side will be 

 

Hermensen, Justin, Faes, Vesty, VK, Winks, Ndidi, Ayew, BDR, Bilal and Vardy. 
 

Bet he won’t have the balls to play Okoli again…….

Thats a pretty awful side - but, rest assured, he will find a slot for Soumare - just to make it even worse.

The problem is Vestergaard, Faes and Coady should be nowhere near this team after recent weeks. Likewise Winks and Ayew.

 

Hermansen

 

Justin

Faes

Okoli

 

Coulibaly

Soumare

Ndidi

Thomas/Kristiansen (don't care)

 

Bounanotte

El Khannouss

 

Daka

I refuse to believe that he will play Faes and Vestergaard together again. I can’t do it. My brain won’t go there…

The season ticket holder wins as they get the cost of their ticket back. The club wins as they make a bit of profit on the ticket, and the person that buys the ticket wins as they get to see a match they wouldn't have been able to see otherwise. 

Win, win, win then.

Wish we could manage that on the pitch.

Hermansen

 

Justin Faes Okoli Kristiansen

 

Soumare Ndidi

 

El Khannouss 

 

Ayew Vardy Decordova-Reid

 

That's not the team I want to see, but that's what I expect it to be.

So they may have sometime up top that can score. Hmmm.

 

But for a club like arsenal to not have another striker is silly. 

A dereliction of duty by the club. Completely irresponsible.

Issue is, gotta play our hand, and its stupid to ask "Pro's" who many cant even use their off-foot, to play in ways that they simply do not have the skillset for. For example, The Tinkerman adjusted and played Danny Simpson as a pure defender in "the Season". And it had us keep a very solid defense. Justin thinks (or somebody told him) he is a great "wingback" just ready to score, when he needs to focus on JUST DEFENDing and try to not play the ball to the other damn team and be out of position.. constantly! In this game, he needs to calm down.

 

Kristiansen? Hes like Faes, both play with energy, at moments, but just as likely of screwing up for no reason. Victor does not need to "overlap on the outside" of Mavididi, ever... first, Mavi aint gonna pass, and the "space" is never really there once he drags someone else outside, and more importantly Victor cant cross (at least one thing Reid showed he might can do), has no IQ, and is always out of position as a defender. While I am not an Enzo fan, he at least had him play inside the wing on play-thru's, and was generally deep enough to recover. Enzo ball is "let the Winger beat the defender, its why you have them. Defenders are not as a rule able to do that, just assist the winger with passing. (not everyone is Kyle Walker). But I expect to see Luke get a chance, as he is more pure defender, and has done well bulking up, but he could choose Victor just for speed on counter.

 

RvN loves getting our outside backs tight inside the 18, which keeps giving teams acres of space outside. I expect to see us play deep, play Vesty, and play counter... so who knows. There is real personality issues between Jann/Coady/Wout. Playing deep I expect Ayew, as he is a "smart" player, and plays well with back to goal, or hold up play. (I think this is why he moved over to replace Bilal in that one game, to see if he could be a hold-up balls for Vardy to play off of.. but that was a radical thing to try 75mins into a game when Bilal was our best threat)

 

Mavididi needs Fatawu, its clear they are on the same wavelength, as they were creating back post threats all last season. Now, Mavididi cant hold up a ball and hasnt really done much "taking on" the defenders like he can, and our right winger is never on the back post like he is looking for. Also, he goes walk-about for half the time. I would consider playing McAteer, just for zest and confidence building, but I cant read RvN: there is no clear vision and stamp of him on the team. New manager growing pains...

 

Wow, how badly we have missed real talent and guts like N'didi (and Ricardo). As big as Winks seemed to be the heart of our team last year, I would rather see (shocking comeback season and Red card ready to happen) Soumare', and hope for some spirited play. I dont see a reason to play Winks as a sub. Seriously, no scenario for his skillset.

 

Vardy is the guts of the team, when he scores, anything can happen, and Bilal should be a future to build around.. if we can hold onto him. Hoping Mags has a brilliant day...

 

Unfortunately, Buonanette is not the future of LCFC, but I would start him over Ayew just for the dynamic counter ability. Last minute legs like Skipp, Reid, McAteer and Daka, we might get something.  Woyo looks like an underweight for a strong position, but I am hoping for the best, and I need to see more.

Literally need to get one of their back two sent off in the first 15 mins and then we have half a chance of a point 🤣.

 

0-5

I honestly think this will be another close one 2-1 or 1-2. So I’ll go for another draw. 1-1.

Yet unusually positioned, with a space on either side. What does that tell you?! 

Ask Umberto Eco, that's above my pay grade :whistle:

No chance, same ref that reffed the game at their place who failed to send Calafiori off for the most blatant second yellow, same ref that failed to give a foul on Vardy after Saliba suplexed him in the build up to their first goal.
