Draw PL: Arsenal 0 - 0 Burnley | Sunday 23rd January | KO: 14:00 GMT |

Really bad performance last night. We need a strong reaction. We don't just need to beat this lot, we need to do it convincingly. A statement win, if you like.

But problem is even with Partey back, we're in a worse situation than we were a week ago. We are light in midfield (an understatement). Our only recognized CM is 22 year old from the Belgian league playing his first season in the league.

Let's not even talk about Arteta. Don't want his templars attacking me or sending me threats.

I think he'll go with the same Lineup today in Sunday.
This will be a twofer: Relegate Sean Dyche and get the three points.

Like I said, I reckon Mikel will stick with the same starting XI that played the pool game. It will be interesting to see how. Lokonga and ødegaard themselves physically in midfield against those club bouncers.

Predicted Lineup

I swear this forum collectively forgot he got heart problems from covid.

Bare bones squad. How have we not signed anyone

Hardly bare bones, we’re missing two mids due to suspension.

 

[GDeep™]

If you could pick any team to play right now, it Burnley.

Have you seen the bench?

Have you seen the bench?

Gamechangers like Chambers and Biereth on it, delighted with our bench!

 

[TromsoGooner]

I think anyone who expect us to win by 3 or 4 will be disappointed. Burnley are not that weakened, they have Tarkowski and Mee at the back and we will be tired from Thursday.

 

[boonthegoon]

So this is the Burnley who can barely field a squad? Only Barnes and cornet missing. And obviously wood. The narratives here...

We should win regardless though

Have you seen the bench?

4 senior players there, bench would stronger if players weren’t suspended because of their own stupidity.

 

[tap-in]

I'm hoping for us to score early. If we do it could be 3 or 4.

I'm happy to see ESR & Ødegaard starting, both are too good for the bench.

 

[Sapient Hawk]

Matchday!

Hopefully, we can continue our winning run & pile the misery on Dyche who will end the match so enraged that he will devolve into an orange before the very eyes of an amused Emirates.

 

[The_Playmaker]

I hope the crowd are in proactive mood and not a reactive one. When the crowd is behind the fans lifting the team we always perform better. When the crowd relies on the team and moans and groans at every high value pass attempt failing, then moans when players start playing backwards, we waste halves of football.

Any links for the game?

 

[Paperino]

Why are people hyping up Burnley?

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Can't believe I'm going to force myself to watch a game with Lokonga and Ødegaard in midfield.

 

[GDeep™]

Why are people hyping up Burnley?

Won 1 of their last 20 league games.

 

[GDeep™]

Hopefully some of the young guys score.

Xhaka stil suspended?

Xhaka stil suspended?

Yep.

But we should expect a tight game according to AM. Don’t know why.
