What does 'Touch on wood" means?
Hi Charles I think will start raya ,saliba, tomiyasu, kwior, white ,jorginho, kai, odagaard,Jesus, trosard,and Rice if matinelli , Saka and Gabriel aren't fit to play
King Charles
Extra Time: would it be possible to get other guest on like former players from the George Graham years. Especially those that came through Hale End to do Q & As with and insight takes on what they experienced in contrast to todays process.
I think this would help educate younger fans about what The Arsenal dna is and would probably also help James Benge.
Cheers 🔴⚪️
Nelson is garbage age. He should be playing for Coventry
I beg to differ with you when it comes to Man city have a lot of ball possession through out the game. Both teams will have ball possession at certain 15:03 times of the game I dnt think the Arsenal will allow City to completely dictate no way. Have the players who can do and who are quicker around. I dnt think we will play on a counter attack we are not made for that. I believe the Arsenal will go and play their game and be tactically disciplined

Extra Time:
Hey Charles if you go back to Arteta’s first interview he gave a clear idea of what his goal is to attend at Arsenal. As a follow up to my 3-4-3 lineup I think you want us to seat back and hit City on counterattack that’s now how you win them and that’s not the Arsenal DNA. I think to be honest you’re a little bit too cautious and that’s not the character of a team that can earn us an EPL title (at least if you think we have a chance of winning it) Arteta himself said he’s learned a lot from last week and he’s ready. We both know Arteta isn’t the guy who will seat back he’s the guy who will tell his team go take the risk guys.
Let me know your correspondence thoughts as well on the lineup
GK: Raya
CB: Tomiyasu, Saliba, Gabriel
CDM: Partey
CM: Rice and Jorginho
CAM: Odegaard
F9: Harvertz
LW/RW: GM and BS7
Subs: Trossard, Jesus, Zini, Etc.
What a man, loves Arsenal, never engages in idle gossip. And has NEVER asked for a like. Smash the likes people. Show some appreciation.
I don’t know if you guys saw the freeze frame for Germany v Holland highlights but I saw Timber and I was what the hell and then I remember something like he had a twin brother 😁
That is what we need in summer; pace. Wonder if Mudrk might be available at 60. Still think he can make it although war could be affecting him and Zinchenko .
Charles, why are we looking for a wide winger when we have Reiss Nelson, who signed a new contract last year?
😂Walker walked off as though nothing was wrong .think its a con
The tackle was against Zaha and Ayew at home
Charles why would be change our style of play. We should play on the front foot. Not just accept that we wont have possession. Last time we played them time of possession was almost split. 🤷♂️
Akanji plays for the Switzerland team
England's coach must have something against Arsenal! What was the benefit of playing Rice a whole 90 minutes in a friendly yet there are other players on the bench who could play? We are in a title race,every game is a final
Munich had more posession that city at the ethihad last year, and got smoked 3 nil 😅
Joginho was bulied by Porto and the defensive weakness of Joginho will give us away.
I’ve said it many times before; what we need to do is finish our last 10 games with a significantly better points haul…20 is our best in the last few (I think at least 5) seasons, and last season we achieved 15 when in reality we needed 26
Extra time – I like Onana ( Everton ) and I feel like he would form a monster partnership with Declan , but do we need a more passing profile to complement Declan – sort of a younger Jorginho with more legs ? What do you think is the. Best way to unlock the midfield for now and future.
Switzerland
how could you forget Switzerland poor Xhaha… you've moved on lol
Whats the latest re Jurien Timber?
Is he back in the first team training?
Charles, i do not think that we will be CA team vs City, this is not the way, we will be proactive, high press will be in full effect and man to man marking all over the pitch, if we score first then playing smart will be wise, otherwise not 🙂
Akanji plays for Switzerland
the interesting thing is that we need to keep 2 players on each touchline and all 7 non wing players have to meve the ball well and be brace in moving the ball quickly and accurately (with the ball). Defending we need to be determined and win every ball and press as hard as Liverpool. Everyone who plays must be prepared to run harder than their opposite number. Work will win this game, because we are so similar in terms of quality. I am sure that it will be a nail biter. COYG.
No Jesus and Zinchenko vs city please. They are city rejects, pep knows exactly how they walk, talk and even sleep.
Any other team I’m fine with them playing. Not vs city. Also kai has been one of our impact players this season.
I agree with Reiss being like for like but the whole pa e argument doesn't stick. In the FA Cup vs Liverpool, Reiss was set off on a breakaway and fluffed he's lines, denying Ramsdale an assist!!!
Stones walker and Ederson will all play against us they all come back against us I just hope all of our players are fit and raring to go lets break this terrible record at their place the mental side against them has to stop if we have any chance of winning the league COYG it's about time we delivered especially after throwing it all away last season
If party can't get fit Iñ four weeks get real and get rid
