Michael Tucker Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I think that we might sneak this one. There, I've said it! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeping Dave Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 This one has a loss written all over it. Arsenal are fighting to keep their title hopes alive and we seem all too happy to just show up and collect our paycheck. We can't buy a goal at the moment and I cannot see who in this squad should be able to change that up. If we do score it'll be a penalty/own goal/fluke. Unless we decide to start with our only striker - Aubameyang. Then perhaps we may see a goal or two. Having watched us all season I must say it's absolutely bonkers that the only striker we have in the squad hasn't started more. It's not like the others in that position has been pulling up trees.

My Blood Is Blue Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I don’t see us having any hope in this one, as much as I’d like to believe the players could get themselves up for this one, Arsenal are too clinical this season and the minute we concede, that will be the result done. I’m hoping Frank is going to at least pick some of the players we know need more game time. Kepa Azpi - Fofana - Badiashile - Chilwell Kante - Enzo - Chukwuemeka Madueke - Auba - Mudryk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Tucker Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 People here need to lighten up. Seriously, I know that we may not win the game - it's also possible that we'll get our arses kicked - but on here it seems that we're beaten before we even kick off. It's football, and strange things can happen. Let's wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's football, and strange things can happen. Let's wait and see. In fairness, I think peoples low expectations are justified based on recent form, results and performances. I do take your point though, it’s football and anything can happen… I just think I know how I expect this one to play out. You would think Frank could get the players up for this one though, stopping a London rival winning the league and a win all but confirms our status as a Premier League club next season.

Please enlighten me in how I can be more optimistic 🙂 However - when I look at both club's recent form it's not written in stone that we're gonna lose, but: Arsenal W-D-D-D-L = 6 points, Goals 12-12 Chelsea L-D-L-L-L = 1 point. Goals 1-7 Edited May 2, 2023 by asvaberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original 21 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I just hope we give a good account of ourselves. That Lampard picks a decent starting line up. That we don’t concede stupid goals. That we create a few chances. It’s not going to happen, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kelly Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I hope we finally get a balanced side , I really don't care who plays provided SFL actually plays with a centre forward and not a dwarf battling against giants . The time for empty words really has gone now , these last few games we need to see what these players have about them . Most of the goals we've let in recently have been so avoidable if only somebody had stood up and taken charge of the situation instead of meek surrender. Give these blowhards a bloody game for goodness sake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Moon Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 So we've only been beaten home and away by Brighton and Southampton. Why do I find that totally unreassuring? Or is the best yet to come? Looking forward to tonight with all the enthusiasm of a bankrupt awaiting the receiver, or my tomcat looking forward to his second visit to the vet...

My Blood Is Blue Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 I’d rather Mudryk for Sterling and Badiashile for Silva (just so he and Fofana can get more game time together). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
