Predicted Lineup





Prediction
Nottingham Forest 0-2 Arsenal

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Mikel won't give anything i hope Cala fit i think hincapie out for further 2 weeks at least because it's hamstring the normal recovery time is 3 weeks cala has been out for 3 weeks we still don't know what his injury is we know it's muscular

 

[A_M Iniesta]

2-1 or 1-0 , low scoring affair i'm guessing , but we collect 3 points here for sure

Dyche gonna make it difficult he made extremely difficult against city and were unlucky not to get point. From now until end of season 3 points matter more than putting beautiful performance also we played every 3 days for almost 3 weeks now i don't expect great performances

Some of you don't have saka in the starting 11 Asif he's not starting

 

[Red London]

Saka needs to start. But what needs to happen if things aren’t working out, is to move him to the left side and bring int Madueke RW.

Arteta needs to start doing this rather than bringing Marti on in the PL where he’s a steaming pile of poo.

I want to see more of Madueke on the LW as well. Seems he did a bit early in the season there but not since.

Saka is automatic starter he might be frustrating last few games but the guy make things happen. And I agree with you about noni need two direct wingers that very good one v one

 

[Forest fan]

Ladies and Gentlemen, tomorrow sees you at the City ground against a lowly placed Forest team, should be an easy 3 points for you but we do tend to play our best against the better sides.
Corners will be our downfall as we are not very good defending them, you are good at scoring.

Good luck.

Now onto some different things.

Why are you always able to hand over your garbage to us, thought Matt Turner was a bad deal but now we have Zinchenko who has about as much talent as a left back as any pensioner you may meet, drops into midfield, loses the ball and we have a massive hole in the defense….surely you want him back right ?

Edu seems to be doing a fantastic job, in his own mind, not our favorite person right now with signing players who sometimes look like they are seeing a football pitch for the first time, I have no idea what his plan is and I doubt very much that he actually has one. Sure you would welcome him back with open arms too.

Back to the game.
Said at the start of the season that I hoped you would be crowned Champions, looking good so far, If City lose against United then I think it just that you play your reserves to rest some players.

Heart says we may somehow scrape a point, head tells me we will be looking at the West Ham result with baited breath

 

[bastun]

I would start Madueke without a second thought. Saka's been playing too many games. Noni showed how good he can be in the last few games even though he missed the pen.
Bring a fresh Saka in the second half with Havertz for Gyokeres for example.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Here we make the final stand

 

[freeglennhelder2]

Im hearing conflicting things about Cala on one hand, he wont be seen for 40 weeks and on the other he has a chance of making it. What's the story?

Mikel doing Mikel things - we just won't know ****.

 

[bastun]

Im hearing conflicting things about Cala on one hand, he wont be seen for 40 weeks and on the other he has a chance of making it. What's the story?

No one knows but for what I've interpret from listening to numerous Arteta interviews is the following:
If he says a player is evolving, close , nothing serious , etc, then it's a 2 months injury.
If he says it looked serious, don't know , we have to do a scan, then the player is fit for the next game.

So saying they are close meaning it's probably another month out for Cala , Mosquera and Hincapie

Look for him to return mid February

 

[Rasmi]

A must win game after blowing the chance to go on 8 point lead. City will most likely go on a run now so it’s vital to keep the game coming 4-5 games

 

[bastun]

Look for him to return mid February

Probably the most accurate timeline. I think early to mid February as well with this "mystery" muscle injury.

 

[pure profit FC]

we will be 8 points clear by tommorow evening.

 

[Rasmi]

we will be 8 points clear by tommorow evening.

City will better united tomorrow.

 

[Steps]

You could ask Mikel if a player was going to start while they are on the pitch lined up for kick-off and he'd still avoid the question.

People need to stop with this LW nonsense. Our LWs (Trossard and Nelli) have 16 NPGoals and 7 asts compared to Saka and Noni with 8 NPGs and 6 ast on the season. Our LW position have been by far the most productive compared to other positions, even CF.
