That is our strongest attacking lineup imo.

Gelhardt has shown he can hold the ball up and play clever through balls and James may be useless final ball but his pace with Raph and Harrison.om the beak gives us a chance.

Will need to be defensively solid but firs that vs Man City we totally shut them out.

If you can do that to Man City you can do that to Arsenal.

Have faith

Jesus talk about smelling the coffee - Marsch asked in pre game interview why he made the Shane’s to last line up including bringing Gelhardt in.

’’ We felt like we needed a natural striker”

Talk about leaving it late.

All our players wearing Dallas & number on their shirts in the warm up.

A shirt on the seats for every fan apart from the ones that have been nicked.

I am fairly optimistic CJAY - just the Firpo v Saka issue that makes me worried. Arsenal have dropped Tavarez who is their back up left with Tierney out - but as he is also a liability they have selected their natural RB - Tomiyasu in the role.
We on the other hand ……..

1min 30 seconds in and clumsy Firpo fouls Saka.

Hate is to strong a word but I dislike Firpo as a player very much ffs

Less than two minutes in and Firpo gives away a free kick in a very dangerous spot.

FOR f**k SAKE
Marsch OUT

Football has undergone a process of bielsification; pressing and possessing, passing rather than dribbling, intercepting high up the field rather than making last-ditch tackles, are in vogue.

Marcelo Bielsa. The light that will never go out.

Dear oh dear...unbelievable start.
Not the first time he's almost been caught out like that. He's really poor with the ball at his feet.
