WIN PL: West Ham 0 - 1 Arsenal | Sky Sports | KO: Sunday 10th May 16:30 BST

Have to shift the focus now, we have a job to do in the PL and can forget about the CL for now.

Probably need to freshen the team up a little here but we should be winning comfortably. We're CL finalists, go there with that confidence and we'll roll them over.

I need to bring this title home for everyone.

Smash 'em to relegation.

 

[Big Poppa]

MLS?

They’ve been playing together. So MLS and Zubi?

 

[blaze_of_glory]

I didn’t think we should be resting anyone. Its time to go all out.

 

[MartiSaka]

Should rest Rice just in case. Don't need him getting all emotional and generous to his former team

He is going to score the goal that sends them down. And he will celebrate the goal with heartless undertaker type celebration.

 

[Grandolph]

Early to say, but looks like determination and hunger has overcome the anxity in many players now, and Mikel deserves credit for that. Still, wouldnt surprise me if we are back to being nervy against WH, but at least we have a lot of players who can give us a lift from the bench.

 

[Kuroske]

I suspect Bukayo Saka is under serious game time restrictions, and the way he has been limping off the pitch after recent games is not a good sign. He should probably be rested for the next two matches and let Madueke do what he was signed for.

Rice should also get a proper rest, while MLS gets some match fitness and rhythm.

Back to Gary Neville on comms

 

[Clrnc]

I will go for this team

Raya
White Saliba Gabriel Hincapie
Rice MLS
Saka Eze Trossard
Gyokeres

Calafiori seems at risk so I would rest him. The rest should be good enough to do a job in the first half for a 2 goal lead and get rest in the 2nd half.

Predicted Atleti correctly, hope I'm right again. 2-0 to us

 

[Red London]

Our left hand side has come back to life with the addition of Calafiori, MLS at CM, and Trossard coming into form.

I know all 3 of these guys have come from the cold to playing two intense games, but don’t break it up.

I don’t wanna see a Hincapie x Martinelli combo on the left. Or bring in Zubi but also take out Cala (which will kill our build up).

Ideally we keep two of the aforementioned three players in the lineup. This team suffers everytime we bring the technical quality down in the side.

He hasn't?

Don’t rest anyone ffs, our first title in two decades is on the line now. It’s time to die on the pitch.

 

[Gooner Zig]

I honestly say we keep the same XI and keep the momentum going. The beauty is we have such a strong bench we can make plenty of changes to stave off fatigue.

I don't want to break up the Cala x Trossard partnership which if finally back, and in form too.

5 days after the Atletico game.

We’re essentially one game a week merchants now.

 

[Gooner Zig]

Also, we have 4 games left, 3 in the PL, and the CL final - every game is vital, I can't believe I'm seeing shouts of 'rest and rotation'. **** that - full throttle and give everything we've got.

This is legit the most important game so far this season. Resting players is madness

Win the league in between Burnley and Palace then you rotate on the final day.

No way you do it now. Only rotation is managing the minutes of Saka and Calafiori like Arteta has been.

 

[MikelHadADream]

I was considering rotation but have slept on it and don’t know what I was thinking. This game probably defines our season.

Go with the same team.

 

[2Smokeyy]

Good thing is West Ham have to go for it right from the start. Just get an early goal then pick them off.

Could easily slap them in this one if we get a goal or two as they’ll be desperate.

 

[2Smokeyy]

Also have a feeling that Brentford will be harder for City than most expect lol I watched their game last weekend vs West Ham and they were pretty dangerous going forward but didn’t really take some of their chances. Could be different on Saturday.

 

[Gooner Zig]

Would be nice to hear some positive news on Timber in Mikel's press conference.
