No surprise. Hardly changes a winning combination. Hope we win and go to fourth.

viegunner

agreed, although i miss lokonga. how about xhaka-lokonga if partey keeps underperforming? would at least like to see how it goes

Goonerrific

Wait until January for that.

Bishop

I thought he would play Lakonga but for Xhaka but on the flipside, he is trying to give Xhaka as many minutes as possible against January when we will absolutely need him playing at his best.

Thierry Bergkamp (Xhaka Out)

Every time Xhaka starts, my mood sours.
Never felt this way about an Arsenal player since Silvestre, possibly.
He’ll be Arteta’s downfall eventually

Johnny 4 Hats

But…. The Smith. I miss The Smith.

Surely he is due a start? He’ll be fresh as fuck now.

Ah well. COYG!!!!

Daveo

Except to bring Xhaka back. He’s changed anything for that.

Massive game tonight. We need to get something from this match. A defeat and 4th looks unlikely.

Naked Cygan

Everton was a massive game too and we blew it. Liverpool was expected to drop points, but the Man UTD and Everton games were very disappointing. Not really expecting much tonight tbh.

K9ine

Hope we win. That will make for a beautiful rest of the week

StockholmGooner

COYG. Hammer them! Bad puns win games.

Russ

Hard as nails 👍

DefaultGray

You’re gunner have to do better than that!

Graeb

Need a performance from Partey tonight.

BringBackSeaman

It has dawned on me, how delicate this Stripping of Auba’s captinacy is for Arsenal, more so than ever for any club…… since Amazon film crews are documenting Arsenal this season for that All of Nothing show..

Graeb

I think we’ve got a Spud in the camp just down-voting everything!

BringBackSeaman

think so…

Grumbleduke

I wouldn’t worry about the spud. It must be way past his bedtime and mummy will be sending him to bed soon.

Cliff Bastin

Who is captain

Graeb

Laca.

Man Manny

Top 3 is sealed.
4th is up for grabs; any of these five teams, West Ham, Arsenal, Man United, Spurs and Leicester, can nick it.
That makes games between them 6 pointers.
It might not be season defining tonight, but 3 points will be a huge boost for us today.
COYG!

Joy Boral

What happened to Leno now?

JBF

Injured, infected badger bite on left foot

Nainsley Aitland Miles

Groin injury.

Joy Boral

Oh alright.

Sheldon

This is the most important game to gauge our level this season. Let’s go!

Brady’s bunch

You look at that west ham team And think yeah we’ll be grand then you see them play and it’s a different story so fingers crossed tonight 🤞

Hope so. They’re missing Ogbonna, Zouma, and Cresswell which I think make up 3 of their regular back 4.

Hank Scorpio

Apparently we’ve won 10 of our last 11 home games against West Ham. Surely we couldn’t possibly lose this.

Brady’s bunch

Long pause 😂

Hank Scorpio

Haha
I think I’m still traumatised and having flashbacks from that game Green made 50 saves (slight exaggeration) against us.

Brady’s bunch

Don’t go there 🙈 and xhakas just come out waving to the crowd he must know something we don’t 🙈

Kostas

Just out of curiousity how can P Viera make the mediocre Crystal Palace such a force in Lees than 6 months and with limited budget and we are still struggling after 2 years of Arteta?

Kostas

Vieira*

Hank Scorpio

Trust the process…….

Futsboller

Because he’s not Roy “asleep on on the bench” Hodgson!

Viera is doing a great job; love to see it!

Bleeding gums murphy

You are a complete arrogant xxxx at times

Tapps

that’s rich!

chepetin

No Auba? Did he pick up a knock or something?

Wengerball

Why isn’t our top scorer and provider ESR not starting? Am I missing something?

Rochester

He’s coming back from injury and Martinelli has been good . He’ll probably get some minutes today.

Wengerball

Ah ok. Yea he derserves some rest.

Grimmjow

Much as I like that Odergaard is scoring goals, I’d have preferred Smith-Rowe as the No.10 against this Hammers team, driving the team forward. Odergaard’s passing and forward play can be a tad too slow against organised teams

Brady’s bunch

No love esr but odegaard is class tonight

He’s got no hair but we don’t care...

Xhaka. Yep, that’s great.

Daveo

Pitiful.

Johnny 4 Hats

Say what you want about Arteta’s Arsenal.

We don’t do boring anymore.

etp

Think we look intense, confident, and focused with a point to prove. Hope it continues for 90.

Pescetarian

ALL the streams are dead.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
