We’ll win easily.

But honestly it’s all about the next 3 league games after it, get poor results in those then then we’ll leave ourselves to much to do irrespective of it being November.

Let’s not mess around here. Win by at least 3 goals. Would like to see some rotation.

What’s the point of resting Saliba when he can’t play the weekend anyways ?

Yeah, if anyone has to play 90 minutes here it’s Saliba.

And surely Raya keeps his place in goal. Goalkeepers don’t need much rest.

Good question. I’d like to use the game to trial the Timber and Gabriel partnership.

Raya
White-Saliba-Kiwior-Calafiori
Merino-Partey-Rice
Jesus-Havertz-Martinelli

Start zinchenko for this.

Calafiori is needed for the weekend.

Is Zinchenko even fit?

Was on the bench yesterday so assume so.

LMAO, I didn’t even notice.
Why didn’t he get on instead of Kiwior then? I think that would’ve been smarter. You then could move Calafiori at RCB. :thinking:

Really hope we see Nwaneri starting tomorrow.

Champions League debut, at home vs beatable opposition. Perfect occassion.

Is Timber fit?

I’m hopeful rather than expectant.

I’m at least hopeful he can get a decent chunk of the second half.
Give the boy some time!

He needs to learn!

I’d imagine we start full strength and then make subs if we can.

We shouldn’t be starting full strength

We’re creaking as it is, Havertz is looking a bit jaded. Wouldn’t even have him in the squad.

Arteta probably will, regardless of how fans might think.

You can’t treat the CL like a secondary competition even in the group phase anyway.

Also, if any players are “creaking” in October, that speaks to their suitability for a top level side.

It’s not treating CL like a secondary competition

I said creaking due to the injury’s already sustained, not sure why you’re talking about suitability with top level.

We just played with ten men for just over 60 minutes so the answer is playing a full strength team again against Shaktar at home then again against Liverpool? And yeah I know that’s what Arteta is likely to do and I think it is a losing strategy over the course of the season.

At this rate we’re going to have issues in December just like last season, I don’t get why some take offence to the notion of utilising a squad in a season that is long as shit when we’re competing on so many fronts and also have injuries as is. It’s called squad management.
