FA Community Shield: Arsenal v Liverpool | Saturday August 29 | KO: 16:30 BST | BT Sport

[Manberg]

We can't use Torreira, don't want to risk him getting injured knowing that he's going to be sold. Nor Guendouzi for obvious reasons.
The alternative to Ceballos is El Neny.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Cancel this game seriously manutd have few players positive too Chelsea had 4 players tested positive.

 

[Moleque]

Poor planning really. We're not prepared for this game.

Yes what were we thinking allowing a player to go home on break? Much better to keep them as captive slaves.
Who cares if we are ready for this game - it's not as if it means anything. Kinda like getting upset about the Emirates cup

 

[Jasard]

Bit weird from Martinez though. Lost his place now.

Unless he feels he has no chance of being number 1....

Man humanity is eventually gonna have to come to terms with Covid 19, it's either go back to normal or change everything for good. This half hearted stuff is never gonna work full time unless the players stay in a bubble like the NBA. People will get infected eventually, especially with footballer who are always banging random hoes.

...an elite performance from your keeper, before he nearly messed it all up right at the end

Wow they missed a LOT of chances

 

[Makingtrax]

What were clubs thinking allowing their players to go abroad after the season ended?

Emi finally got his chance and literally took it with both hands. To get himself infected before the new season starts is madness. Back to being no 2.

 

[Makingtrax]

Would love to win this game, but I don't see them missing so many chances twice in a row.

Klopp has a house full of talent. Arteta is renovating by papering over cracks.

They had Suarez up front, we had Sanogo...and we won!

Big Wengz ****ing did it again!

 

[Chaoz_Enigma]

When Lpool whoop us I hope our expectation for saliba step down a notch or two...

 

[tap-in]

Martinez had permission from the club to go home. Now he has to self isolate but I fail to see why that makes him our No2 keeper. He's our No1 and will start vs Fulham.

Nobody is number 1 or number 2 yet. If Leno performs against Liverpool he will start against Fulham. In fact due to match fitness Leno will start regardless.

Ridiculous to even play this match at this point. Will have to skip it anyway so I’m not bothered. Hopefully we’ve won it when I check the result.

Leno

Bellerin Saliba Holding Tierney

Elneny Xhaka

Nelson Saka Auba

Nketiah​

 

[freeglennhelder2]

Does anyone know how I can have Elneny added to the list of prohibited words on the forum so it is automatically transposed to ******

Many thanks.

Repeat "Elneny" three times in front of a mirror.

Good lord. None of these should be starting.

Auba playing 2nd fiddle to Nketiah in the central striking role is still a joke to me.

You never had the same attitude to any of our slightly fortuitous wins under Wenger. But you’d always lament his bad luck though....

Turn it in ffs. The game is up.

Liverpool had 24 shots to our 3, xG 3 times ours. They're normally very clinical and rarely shoot wide like that in front of goal. There's only two reasons we won that game 1. extreme luck 2. we had enough quality in Arteta to organise some average players backed by a quality goal scorer.

Not going to suppress the truth just to suit your agenda. That's what happened. If you want to put money on that happening again you're crazy. We may actually win again, but the odds against it happening are quite large. That's football of course.
