Loss Manchester City 5 - 0 Arsenal | Saturday, 28th August | KO: 12:30 BST | BT Sports

Tbh, I expect us to lose. All city have to do is just turn up. We might probably keep the scoreline respectable and the Arteta boys will claim it as a win.

Anyway, from the lineup that started against WBA, I have inferred that that the following guys will start.

I don't really care as long as our best players don't get injured tbh.

Good opening post, should have just been this though...

Tbh, I expect us to lose.

...I wouldn't have even put in the date/kick off time in the title, tbh.

6-0 incoming but not sure for who…

 

[Kwaku]

City will play their usual high line so I say Arteta should play the players that have pace to hurt them on the counter. Aubameyang, Pepe and Saka. I would also play three at the back and keep it compact in the middle.

But that’s just me.

Which kind of death you want ?

[GoonerJeeves]

Danny Mills is a ****.

If we don't concede after two minutes I'll take it as a win.

 

[Riou]

Tbh, I expect us to lose...and Danny Mills is a ****.

...actually this should have been the opening post.

...actually this should have been the opening post.

Didn't really watch much of man City so I didn't know a lot about him. But listening to him these days, he just seem like a bitter old man.

 

[UnitedBeard]

Man City are shaking right now. Let's go!! Beat City!

 

[<<reed>>]

Arteta on how he is gonna stop Man City

 

[GunnerShy]

If we don't concede after two minutes I'll take it as a win.

Jokes aside. Would be nice to go in at half time scores level. We've had a tendency to concede early and end it as a contest.

Not looking forward to this. Last night's result on paper was great but in the first 15 minutes their pressing caused us issues. If City do that it'll cause all sorts of trouble. If we concede early, which we typically do, we could be hammered.

 

[Hunta]

Gonna get a proper hammering here.

Lovely stuff.

 

[AberGooner]

Last night was a really enjoyable watch but we still had some scary moments at 0-0. Can't see anything other than a City win here.

 

[Haphazard]

It's gonna be a massacre, west brom had 6 debutants on the field and it was basically their u 23 team and even then there were plenty of moments where we looked vulnerable and our passing is still laborious and slow.

Against a city team that will press relentlessly and will pick us apart , it's gonna get real ugly.

 

[boonthegoon]

Who will be dropped in attack for esr to come in? Pepe looks most likely but I don't want saka at rw. He looks best at lw but esr has to play LW if ode is also playing

 

[Kapteinsabel]

We lack good results vs city in the last few years, but we also seen City stumble many times before.
I hope we can get the first goal and build from there, if city gets the first I do not have a good feeling about us pushing high. Hoping the WBA game gave us some spirit, either to win this game or to not get too depressed if we lose.

lets hope for the best and atleast get a goal!

 

[Dutch D]

One goal in five outings against City, that's dreadful.

Thank god I'm playing with my own team and can't watch this match.
