WIN PL: Arsenal 3 - 0 Fulham | Sky Sports | KO: Saturday May 2nd 17:30 BST

Apologies all, as stated previously I have to take the title into my own hands so need the match day thread from me.

Team picks itself really. Same as vs Atletico but Mosq, Saka and Eze in from the start. Hopefully, Timber, Kai, Cala made the bench.

VS

Presumably Eze and Saka were held back to start here. Hopefully they can make the difference because Fulham have been a thorn in our sides for years.

i want to see your record @OnlyOne for premier league match thread in next 4 games

You see what Simone said about our fitness? I’m a bit worried this short turn around will cause some issues.

Hopefully Eze and Saka can bring some energy.

 

[DanDare]

Why give PSG Bayern 8 days rest and us and Atletico 6 instead just both getting 7?

Seems unnecessary unless I'm missing something. Just adds to congestion

 

[Dodero]

We need 3 own goals from ESR, 2 from Iwobi and 1 more from Leno. COYG

 

[Blaziken]

We get through this game and West ham, would be enough for a long awaited league win. Hopefully one of Eze or Saka can start and Gabriel Magalhaes keeping his head cold.

You forgot Bassey too. The funny thing is they’re all starters for them. Could turn out to be another Ollie Watkins situation when he stuck a knife into our title hopes then didn’t look too happy

What did he say?

 

[Rasmi]

Another 90 minutes for Rice and Zubi. Think physically we are gonna really struggle here. If we win we gonna need a lot of luck

 

[Gooner Zig]

What did he say?

That they knew Arsenal were fatiguing from having to juggle challenging for the PL as well and there was an opportunity for Atleti to over power us with superior fitness.

I'm paraphrasing.

 

[DJ_Markstar]

3-1 win here and we're looking dominant for a league win, hopefully we blitz them early and put the result to bed by half time.

That would explain why they low blocked the first half and high pressed the second half tbh, playing on fatigue.

Think we're fine from that POV tho Zubi and Rice looked fresher than they have recently.

 

[A_G]

Hopefully Eze and Saka can bring some energy.

 

[remains]

Surely our attack will click eventually and we will get a comfortable home win? Surely?

 

[Clrnc]

I will go for this.

Raya
Mosquera Saliba Gabriel MLS
Nørgaard Rice
Saka Eze Trossard
Gyokeres

Won't happen though, but we need 2 or 3 rotations to prepare for the 2nd leg.

 

[freeglennhelder2]

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Saka didn’t start.

 

[Sapient Hawk]

Hopefully, we beat Fulham & Marco Silva goes back to moonlighting as a Garçon on one of those Nile Party Cruises in Egypt.

 

[Gooner Zig]

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Saka didn’t start.

I wouldn't be against going with Noni again but we can't have Martinelli on the other flank with Gyokeres in the middle.

Only change I make from this is we have Cala at LB, need to get him up to speed.
