Draw Premier League: Arsenal 1 - 1 Brentford | Saturday 11th February | KO: 15:00 GMT |

That was our most dreadful performance in the league since that collapse at Newcastle at the backend of last season.

It is imperative we win this or doubts will start to creep and there can be no doubt in a title race especially against City, a declining one, nonetheless, otherwise when doubt creep in, especially in a young side like ours, you have yourself another title bottle job. But we should see off Brentford at home fairly easily.

White and Martinelli shouldn't see to he pitch, abeg.


Prediction
Arsenal 3-0 Brentford

Looks like Trossard is the backup striker here. Which is not a surprise to me.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Not overly surprised tbh. I honestly don't feel Trossard and Tomi have really done that much to force the changes even if people thought Martinelli and White should be dropped. But also they've both contributed significantly this season so Arteta won't be in a rush to just start dropping players who he's depended on.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Would have given Tomi and Trossard a shot here.

If Martinelli and / or White have poor games today you're looking at having to drop Tomi and Trossard in pretty cold against Man City. Not ideal.

 

[14Henry]

Good to see Mikel sticking with the players who have had like 17 good games all season and not throwing those that have had 2 or 3 bad games to the bench.

I get the ideas about rotation. But the confidence Martinelli and White will have being trusted again may yield a greater response than benching them.

That said. If this match is shakey then off after 60 mins or so.

Either way. A big win today and hopefully both starting 11 and the squad players can contribute.

Any win will do.

COYG!!!

Would've rotated White and Martinelli personally. The players behind need to know they have got a chance of playing if the people starting are stinking it up.

He will rotate them in the 2nd half. The games have not been often now. Also Tomiyasu is still injury-prone. And Trossard is new to the team, and is needed as the backup striker.

That's called a substitution.

 

[drippin]

That's called a substitution.

Oh wow man. Substitution, if the players haven't performed well, at like 65 minutes gives nice rotation too.

He’s gonna start the same team three times in a week and that second half against Villa is going to be a brutal watch.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

We know mikel guy won't rotate unless he forced to

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Also looks like Brentford will be 5-3-2 so they won't be following the exact blueprint laid out by Dyche last week. Sticking to what they know. Bit of a relief for Martinelli and Saka as the shouldn't be doubled up, at least not to the extent of last week.

And I was being accused of being negative.

Nelson and ESR back to smash don Unai once again I’m hearing.

Almost laughed, good one.

Hate 3pm games. Anybody got a live stream for this. ?

This has nothing to do with my original point about rotating players for underperforming ones.

 

[A_G]

Almost laughed, good one.

What?

[Yousif Arsenal]

Likely those next tow games will force mikel to drop Martinelli if he don't perform and white if he show sings of fatigue

 

[Tir Na Nog]

PANDEMIC TOMMY

 

[Pop Tart]

Running gab into the ground. Would of started him against city instead

 

[Rasmi]

Martinelli is way off form and instead of taking him out he keep picking him. All it’s gonna do is have more fans turn on him
