The kiss of death as an Arsenal fan is usually confidence but after negotiating the first hurdle I reckon back in our own patch we’re simply too much for Burnley.
This could well be where lots of the new boys get their proper introductions and if it clicks we’re going to be really dangerous. I also think the introduction of Luiz sooner rather than later will do us the world of good on the ball, especially passing out from the back. I also hope at home that the security incidents that kept Ozil (and Kolasinac) out of the squad won’t be an issue. I’m not clear on whether Laca is in line to return next week but I hope so. I’d like to see:
Burnley will be tough but I’m going for a 3-1 win for us, we have Liverpool and Spurs next so this is a must win game for sure and no excuses not to be winning, would be nice for our new signings to gel in before the Liverpool and Spurs games so they need to be starting
Aside from the actual Burnley fans (who I assume were brainwashed from birth) does anyone actually like Burnley? No one enjoys watching them, no one cares about them. If they were to get relegated the Premier League would be a prettier place.
