And Eriksen is. He doesn't have the legs.

As I think Fergie once said, it’s not that some players are lucky and avoid injury, they just have a higher pain threshold

feck that. No one has to play through pain.

Can people stop quoting the Martial bollocks.

Brace coming from Hojlund then.

Brace for Martial too... unfortunately the wrong type though.

NLunited · Sep 3, 2023

0-1, Martinez to assist Lindelof. Nearly happened last week, try again lads.

Ok, McT has the legs, he doesn't have anything else in his game though.

Shit passing, shit defending, shit positioning.

Worried about dalot Vs saka

Mike Smalling · Sep 3, 2023

We have too much mediocrity in that side to expect anything other than a loss. Dalot, Lindelof, Antony, Martial, Eriksen, etc.

Was not expecting an injury crisis to start the season. Wow.

Shaw, Malacia, Varane, Mainoo, McT, Mount and now Sancho? Martial of course only a matter of time.

Martial is injured.

No matter how you twist and turn, bad signs and mood everywhere around the team. Midfield needs to run their fecking legs of, 12km for both at least. Antony needs to stop producing 1/10 performances and whoever gets the 2 or 3 chances up front HAS to be clinical. If all that happens plus no individual errors from the back line, then we might get something out of this.

Lets hope Ramsdale has a short memory

When was the last "1/10 from Antony"?

bosnian_red · Sep 3, 2023

Yeah very pessimistic for this. No legs in midfield or attack, no Shaw or Varane at the back... Will be tough.

By far their best player but Saka is going to turn Dalot inside out today

Sancho, amrabat, mctominay, shaw, malacia, varane, mainoo, mount all unavailable/injured that’s over half a bloody team at the start of the season

Amad too, and van de Beek - though in vdB's case that has been for most of his time here.

crossy1686 · Sep 3, 2023

I remember the last time I felt like this about playing Arsenal, I was sure we were going to lose, then Rashford popped up with 2 goals and despite having no business winning the game, we did.

Same but I think he'd still be the worry even if all our leftbacks were fit

Eriksen is typically one of our players who runs the most kilometers per match.

Yeah he ruined Shaw last time, Dalot better hope he's got cover today

Guess we know what type of player you are.

Nobody has to play though pain. Players that tend to be successful and have good injury records and therefore good careers tend not to have an issue with it.

avgp_1 · Sep 3, 2023

Gabriel and Zinchenko are back for them to cover their weaker left side of defence, but still need Antony to have a good game today if we have to come back with something.

Not so sure about Eriksen, he really was abysmal on our last visit back in January but atleast he has Casemiro this time alongside instead of McT and also Arsenal look a bit light in the midfield

ETH stubbornness is gonna cost us. In what world does anyone think Eriksen and Casemiro is a match up to their midfield?

The real one? You are aware that we basically never lose when those three are starting in midfield? We have 42 pts from the 17 games they all started.

You know what I mean, he just needs to produce way more, doesn’t matter if it’s 1/10 or 4/10, it’s not enough

He'd be handy off the bench today. We are basically guaranteed eriksen playing 90 mins

Just remember our first goal against Arsenal at OT last season…

1/10 is harsh. He's more of a consistent 4/10 player with the odd 6/10.

That's the beauty of football, any team can fluke a win. But 7 or 8 times out of 10 the superior team will win, which in this case is arsenal. Just gotta hope we get some luck

Will it actually be useful he's right footed? He'll be defending on his good side all day with saka cutting jn

saivet · Sep 3, 2023

Any idea why Sancho and McTominay aren't in the squad?

Donut · Sep 3, 2023

Easy win for them. They’re levels above us currently.

God help us. They will be out of sight by halftime.

Would you prefer that he started Hannibal or Gore instead?

I would be more worried with Shaw there.

My worry is our midfield will get run over and bypassed easily.

Sara125 · Sep 3, 2023

We have no business winning this match

Irrational. · Sep 3, 2023

Can’t see us winning. The only way we avoid losing is if we avoid a poor sluggish start which appears to be the hallmark of ETH’s season so far.

Post I quoted said unavailable/injured, I didn't say Donny was injured, just that he was unavailable for this match.
