A little break from the League will do us all good.
Kepa;
White; Mosquera, Hincapie, Calafiori;
Odegaard, Norgaard, Eze;
Madueke, Jesus, Martinelli
Good line up.
Not sure if Odegaard will be fit enough to play, mind you
Rest them all.
Eze is not a central midfielder we need to stop playing him there.
He’s is a #10

White; Mosquera, Calafiori, MLS;
Ibrahim, Norgaard, Eze;
Madueke, Jesus, Martinelli
I think
Forgot about him ![]()
Could play him in midfield as well but Arteta seems reluctant to.
I’m so glad whenever the next game isn’t in the league ![]()
The intense pressure on our league games is so fucking draining haha.
Feels like every game is balanced on a knife’s edge.
Flashbacks to 2010/11 where we lost the league cup final, crashed out of the UCL and league run all
In one week.

Kim fucking Kallstrom
I was there. The leadup to that shootout was possibly the most nervous I’ve ever been in a football stadium.
Arsenal legend. Helped get us to the final with a broken frickin’ back.
Kepa
White-Mosquera-Calafiori-MLS
Odegaard-Norgaard-Eze
Madueke-Jesus-Martinelli
Btw, Odegaard was apparently limping post game. If he’s fucked, we’re fucked.
They really should have brought somebody in after the news about Merino.
Odergaard is a ghost, we are no more fucked with him than without him
If Odegaard is seriously injured we’ll be down to Eze, Zubimendi, Rice and Norgaard as our midfield options for at least the next month.
He is a sick note aswell. How many injuries is this he has had this season?
Edit: Three.
13 days +56 days + 10 days according to transfermarkt.
13 games missed.
Saliba and Dowman are back it seems.
