Going through the Blueemoon. You could see their fans are scared ****less of us
They want Pep to play a double pivot of Rodri and fernandinho
I agree with what you said except about Pepe. The guy needs to start. He's very good for us especially in the big games. We need energy. Willian looked as if he was running on quicksand against Liverpool.Last 2 games vs City.
1) City 20 to Arsenals 3 attempts on target. We lost 3 nil. Yes we were down to 10 men for the most part.
2) City 16 to Arsenal 4 attempts on target. 2-0 to Arsenal.
Of course they must be worried. I do not see Arteta changing the system for this game. He will keep it tight and concentrate more on getting the combinations right when we progress into the opponents half.

Based on results and game management , I expect Pepe to come in at some stage since he has been very influential from the bench. Partey will also get some time if we get a score which requires conserving.
Game management is key.
@hydrofluoric acid - can you do some more of your blood magic to ensure Partey starts against City ?

Mikel hasn’t ruled out Partey or Tierney actually.Will Partey start this weekend or at least get on the bench & play a bit in the 2nd half?
