Jorginho has been a useful asset but I would certainly not rotate him for Rice for such an important match.
Especially when he’s been struggling for fitness.
We did this last year with Partey and Jorginho got mauled in both games against Sporting.
The players that could rotate in for me are Jesus, Zinchenko and Tomiyasu if fit. Ramsdale could probably seamlessly drop in too but that’s unlikely to happen based on the selection in the group stages.
Most likely scenario here is the same team as Burnley starts and we see some players returning from injury and be on the bench.
Why would we play Rice full time against shitters like Lens and PSV for him to get “rested” in the KO stage of the biggest tournament in the world? Lel
Damm shame. I’d like to try to get to more away games, especially CL ones. Will have to wait for the OA meet up to celebrate the PL title instead then!
I tend to agree but Arsenal have always worn red if possible in competitive matches. The only exceptions are when the ref decides he wants more of a contrast and in the league cup where there are weird kit rules.
I do remember a day when we were home clubs had to change to away kits if there was a clash in the old European Cup. I seem to recall that happened for one of our Champions League gaes during the Wembley era.
