WIN Premier League: Brighton 0 - 1 Arsenal | Wednesday, March 4th | KO: 19:30 GMT | TNT Sports

We play at the same time as Man City, who are at home to Forest. On paper, we are overwhelming favourites for the win, but it's a potential banana skin, as previous visits to The Amex Stadium have shown.

We need to keep winning to alleviate the pressure & keep the momentum. Hopefully Welbz doesn't do anything against his old club !

Looks like Ødegaard is still out, so Eze will probably continue. Probably too soon for Havertz.

1-3. Gyok, Saka, Trossard

I detest this bellend (even if he is not totally incorrect here).

A hooded turtle neck is diabolical

 

[gunman90]

We need to score 3 goals from corners after bullying their defenders. They can seethe.

 

[Ljonin]

Newcastle get a lot of love from media and pundits but have scored nearly 50 % of their goals from set pieces btw

 

[pure profit FC]

Gyokeres was at Brighton early in his career but sold quite quickly, so he'll be extra motivated to play & he'll be chomping at the bit to score.

Be nice if he & Trossard score the winning goals !

Think Trossard will be motivated against them also believe he is our best option for ball retention because Brighton are a technical ball playing team, we need the security on that side so we can keep possession.

Rasmi saying we invented time wasting because it took 3 minutes to give injured player a treatment and then sub him off is peak trolling.

I distinctly remember him having stinker against them at the Emirates when they put the final nail in the coffin of our title chase, winning 0-3 at the Emirates May 2023.

Time wasting & the so called 'dark arts' has been in the game for a very long time, despite the narrative the press & media in general are trying to tell everyone.

Look at this utter bs, from the manager Teta probably learned his managerial craft from...

White will be sold in the summer

He's cooked. Hopefully we will get Moyes or Howe to cough up the cash.

It’s really not. Most of you are too tribal to see what’s going on. The constant slowing the game down every throw in or set piece is Arsenal thing. We started with the crowding keeper and taking the wrestling too far. Could have easily given 2 pens away against Chelsea. Against Brighton I’m sure the ref has been told to watch us closely and wouldn’t be surprised if we give pens away

The thing is Arteta has taken things too far and has become the face of everything that’s wrong with the game.

No - in recent times it's a Pep thing and we copied it.

Everyone does it. Newcastle are brilliant at it but they are so average now they are often tied or behind in the second half.

 

[Rasmi]

No - in recent times it's a Pep thing and we copied it.

Pep definitely had a negative impact on English football. Since he took over and others copied him. Every season almost all of the top 10 most completed passes over a season is defenders

 

[freeglennhelder2]

Every time I read an opposition forum before we play them its the same thing:

Arteta is evil. We have ruined football. Arsenal are a billion-pound Stoke. Every single goal is a set piece. Worse fans in the league.

Fck em ! I genuinely love it that everyone hates us. We have gone from being 'soft' & a 'banter club', to being relevant once again & we have literally changed our own narrative.

People don't like it & it's frankly pathetic watching other teams b*tch about us. It means we're in their heads & long may it continue.

*We do need to win things this season tho, otherwise we'll be all bark, without the bite.

 

[Frost]

Yeah I like this lineup. Been mentally wish listing White back in as RB & seeing Havertz & Eze in those positions.

Teta ain't brave or inspired enough to play MLS in midfield yet. A big shame.

Not the right time experimenting with MLS now. He can do it agains Mansfield.

 

[boonthegoon]

Raya
Timber-Saliba-Gabriel-Hincapie
Zubi
Eze-Rice
Saka-Gyok-Martinelli

Mosquera, Cala 60 min sub for the full backs and Noni for Saka, Kai for Eze

 

[freeglennhelder2]

Don't concede, build from there. Bighton were in a bit of trouble, and the home crowd was turning toxic, but they are out of danger after two consecutive wins. I'm not sure if that's good or bad for us. Probably bad.

I'm favouring a return to pure Haramball tbh.

 

[HighburyHigh]

This is gonna be hard, as hearing and reading the comments from the Brighton dip **** manager and a couple of their players, they are definitely treating this as a cup final.

Expect them to play their game of the season. Everyone hates us!

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Let's play fast football and blow them off the park. And then watch them shrink to the edge of their box to stop any further drubbing

Yep, if you fight for relegation, nobody* hates you.

*Not so many hate you

 

[Sanchez11]

No White again, becoming an issue sadly.
