Lol i was expecting Saka to get some time but agreed rice and Saka should just wait the extra 5 days and be ready to go for that one

If Rice x Saka aren't injured I don't see why they can't get some minutes.

They are injured since a long time. We can pretend that they are fine but we know that they aren't.

Saka and Rice are fine.

Huge game for Tzolis btw.. if he looks any part out of place it's going to be a nightmare.

...and how long do you think they will be out for?

 

[North5]

Probably the charity shield I've been least interested in a long time mainly because a lot of our squad is still getting back into the swing of things. Feels very much like pre season still

Saka played 90 minutes against France one month ago, scored hattrick and looked ok.
Rice trained with the squad normally last week

Would give Nelli minutes in hope he picks up a big injury. Forces us into a LW signing and ideally stagnates Nelli’s playing time so he leaves on a free and no clubs want him forcing him to get a job as a hotel receptionist.

liverpool lose in community shield last summer but still failed won premier league end of the season & even worst they finished 5th won nothing after spent 500m

and i know pep never won community shield when 4 peat but that because he just too good & had world class squad

so in the end quality manager & quality squad is the reason club can win or lose premier league title regardless what happen in community shield, even pep still won the league in 18/19 after won community shield in summer 2018

The City example you have given is one team in 10 years that has done it.

It’s a curse pure and simple.

Can't wait to see some more Gyok, Martinelli and Noni joga bonito! Bless our eyes once again for another season

Have a feeling the forum will go into angry mode tonight.

Imagine not selling out your allocation. 10,000 of your tickets being handed to your opponents. complete sham of an organisation. They will never be close to our calibre of club.

Honestly pathetic what was im seeing in twitter 75% of stadium will be Arsenal fans at this rate

So the usual stuff then . Even if we win today and our front line put good performance we still want good signing upfront

I hope Tzolis Kai Dowman i wouldn’t mind Noni for dowman either just keep Martinelli Gyo and Noni away these can't play together

 

[OnlyOne]

Huge pressure on Tzolis.

 

[dino bravo]

I hope Tzolis Kai Dowman i wouldn’t mind Noni for dowman either just keep Martinelli Gyo and Noni away these can't play together

Just seeing those three names written together sends a shudder down my spine and spikes some PTSD.

Yeah i usually keep faith on some players but from what I seen last season its useless two that can't make decisions in box and gyo can't do things on his own so might as well play our pl2 front 3 they'd be more useful only one of them can play

 

[Sanchez11]

Why have TNT got this ffs?

 

[coleio]

Have a feeling the forum will go into angry mode tonight.

I feel like a lot of people are. This is mainly due to our poor results in pre-season (which I don't think mean anything), lack of selling and lack of LW incoming.
