Arsenal aren’t the same as United though, they do have good players who are performing well. The game against West Ham will have wounded them and they won’t want to lose several on the trot. I can’t see this game being a straight forward 3 points given our form and given the quality that they still have, despite a few injuries

Definitely agree with that. But I am confident that if we're on it and show up, we can stop them scoring. Then......woody just needs to score once!

I was feeling oddly confident, and then I just saw Anthony ****ing Taylor is 4th official.
There's no way we don't get screwed tomorrow night.
Referee: Andy Madley. Assistants: Eddie Smart, Craig Taylor. Fourth official: Anthony Taylor. VAR: Michael Salisbury. Assistant VAR: Lee Betts.

Agreed, There needs to be more belief in the players and the manager. What Nuno has done with only 2/3 changes to the starting 11 from last season is remarkable. We can get a positive result in this one.

Losing to Fulham, Bournemouth, Newcastle is away is obviously fine, it was more the manner of the recent performances which is giving people doubts. Also what you said above does surely imply we have overperformed in the first half of the season and it's always difficult to maintain those levels of overperformance for any team.

Yes everyone knows we have overperformed. It is hard to maintain performance levels every week but when we play at the City Ground there is always belief we can win no matter the opponent.

Me too. That’s the only change to the 11 for me, but I think MGW has to play deeper.
They will most likely start with Odegaard, Partey and Rice in the middle. So we need to prevent being outnumbered and dominated in the middle - MGW has to drop deep to do that and I want Yates disrupting and battling.
Starting to feel more and more confident. Huge night ahead.

Been saying, for a while I want to see us with 3 in the middle whether thats MGW dropping deeper or sacrificing a wide forward.

I have to say it did cross my mind whilst watching the match against Newcastle.
