DRAW Premier League: Arsenal 2 - 2 Crystal Palace | Wednesday 23rd April | 20:00 BST | Sky Sports

*** The Ian Wright derby ***

The final game before our 1st leg CL SF against PSG. We need to be resting as many crucial players as possible, but we should still get a home win.

Raya
White Saliba Kiwi KT
TP Ode Zinny
Nwaneri Trossard/Merino Sterling

TP is suspended for 1st leg against PSG, so it's reasonable to play him here & give Rice a day off. I would be interested in seeing Zinny in the 8, with Trossard or Merino up front, as this may tell Teta whether it can work, whilst also not causing too much disruption to a unit which has worked well in the CL recently, with Merino as a false 9.

Three points helps secure our 2nd place in PL, & will put 10 points between us & Newcastle in 3rd. A good win will keep the confidence high & the momentum going.

Let's goooo



Another 5 goals will do nicely please





(Sorry this is not quite up to the standards of AM matchday thread don @Oxeki , but it's my first one, so be gentle )

We forget that players (even good ones) make mistakes sometimes. Let's get over it and move on. He's done more good than bad for us this season. 2 mistakes in 2 games over the course of an entire season is nothing to start questioning arguably our best central defender.

It was a joke pal, no need for the lecture.

 

[Tnegs]

I think we will get eliminated yes

 

[Let's play Aubamawang]

I'm also disappointed by our supporting yesterday I know League is done but our team just gone to Madrid and knock them out yet our fans just sit like we having Manutd kind of season no chants no support all I was hearing is crystal palace fans.

They even starting to leave from like 80 minutes lol. Of course it'll be different against in PSG game

100% agree. If fans can't get behind the team for every home game, they might as well support the idiots down the road where losing is expected.

You must be a ton of fun at parties.

He is probably.

Don’t think we beat psv. Think they will have too much in attack for us

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Ethan to rotate with our starting CMs and Saka next season.

I think we need a world class attacking mid in place of Ødegaard next season. I guess the weird Rice at left 8 thing isn't going anywhere. (I know he's doing the business in Europe but in the PL he's forced to play with his back to goal along the opposition defensive line and it just doesn't suit him.)

I agree about the WC attacking midfielder but I have no idea who that is. I think a tweak to how we play is easier to accommodate than trying to find a like for like upgrade.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Yep that true but I blame the high ticket pricing I feel it stopping die hard fans from attending because they would want to save thier money on something important. Good thing these Ashburton guys creating some support but again our support in Emirates not been great this season specially after we lost all hope for title. Maybe our teams performance just ain't helping

Tbh, we have been a bit boring to watch and not just this season. Too many matches have been a hard fought slog

Yes it feel same BS every game opposition goes low block we just struggle to break them down no wonder our games in CL been more fun and we can score more goals. Thankfully just 4 games left. Even our players seem just want it to end

But still have Ødegaard as nailed on starter? He's been diabolical.

Sorry. When I said a tweak to how we play, I meant a different player, preferably with some pace who doesn't need the time and space that Ode does. I've no idea who that is but In this form, Ode should be lucky to make the bench.
