Bournemouth vs Arsenal (PL) 2-3

Keep the same line up as the Villa game. Hopefully Rice can make the bench. We know that if it isn’t working, Jesus can conjure some magic. I’ve criticised Gyokeres but Bournemouth might actually be a good game to start him.

i think no need to risk Rice even if he is okay. We should be strong enough to beat them without Dec

Mikel definitely has had a few drinks celebrating the New Year :partying_face:

Hopefully Rice is on the bench at least.

Reports suggesting he is going to be out for a couple of games.

Let Rice rest,

If I were City I would want Semenyo to play against Arsenal for his last game.

I get it but he’s a 70m asset. What if Gabriel snaps him just for the sake of it?

:man_shrugging:.

Man City have been loading up wingers the last 3 windows it’s getting ridiculous. Don’t think I can criticise Arteta’s spending anymore when City, Liverpool and Chelsea are spending far more in a shorter time period…

He always turned into prime Buffon against us when he was at Southampton a decade ago

Frazer Forcefield.

I doubt he’s still anywhere near his prime level, although surely better than the current Bournemouth number 1.

Anyways… I don’t think we should waste time thinking about them, whether Semenyo plays too, etc.

Perform and win.

Is Petrovic that awful?

Can’t say I watch him regularly, but has conceded a few very BAD goals this season.

Indeed. Bournemouth are in terrible form WITH Semenyo. Their form since the start of November
