    Just looked at our fixture list and its dawned on me that this is a pretty big game. Our near-term fixture list is so tough. Good thing we've won our last 3.
     
    There are 38 games in this league season, people, Casemiro will be starting eventually. Chill out.
     
    First time I’ve been proper excited and nervous for a game in a long time. Really want to beat these suckers.

    Why’s it that shocking that a new signing doesn’t just walk into the XI when the teams playing well

    When that new player is the best DM in the world and a five time CL winner, not to mention, he was man of the match in the Uefa Super Cup a few days before signing for us.
    Yes I find that bizarre.
     
    Why is Paul Merson on the “analysis” for actual matches now?
     
    Let’s go reds!! Been buzzing for this game all week. Let’s pick up the 3 points and make ground on our rivals.

    That is strange, Casemiro played the Supercup final and was training and playing with Real before the move. He lost fitness in a week? Integration doesn’t make much sense either, especially when you do start Anthony immediately and the alternative to Case is McT…

    Ohh well, neutral in this so just hope for a good game.

    Antony knows his brief this is his manager of the last two years. If he’s fit, he’s golden. Casemiro has to learn about the system as well as be fully fit to be going at it as a starter.
     
    looks like familiarity is breeding contempt amongst the Cafsters.
    But he didn't change the lineup against Leicester as most expected.

    Yes I agree with most looking in from outside.
    Ronaldo for Rashford, Casemiro for Mctominay. Garnacho on the bench instead of a 3rd keeper.

    But we gotta trust EtH and his reasons.

    Scott not playing that bad in a winning team plus his specialist role of 3rd CB when defending set pieces might just about have kept him in ahead of a not 100% fit Casemiro.
    Also as people have said as Arsenal expected to be playing confident, front-foot football so Erik might be thinking Rashford can do his counter-attacking thing against a high back line.
    I can understand EtH going for quantity over quality as in points versus patterns in these early games.

    we'll soon find out...CMON UNIted!!
     
    This will be a tough game. A draw wouldn't be a shock at all. This is the best Arsenal team that we've played in years. I'm nervous about us taking our chances, rather than Arsenal scoring, tbh.

    For all their mediocrity in the last 3 seasons, I really do feel like Arteta has gotten away with murder. What, an FA Cup? Our managers were sacked after winning an FA CUP and Mourinho a few months after winning a europa league and carabao cup.

    Yeah, they're playing some nice stuff now and are in good form but I don't understand why the coverage on them was so positive these last years.
     
    Dalot looking dialed in right now in the tunnel. Need a big game from him today vs Martinelli.
     
    Looks like ETH didn’t want Casemiro. He would have played him otherwise
     
    I'd be nervous as hell if I were Antony! New team, and start straight away in such an important game at OT! Yikes,

    Bit odd Antony starts instantly and not Casemeiro when the main reason was getting used to the league and players

    The system is what you need to get used to and Antony is used to it. Also it's less important for a winger to be drilled in, the wild card can work in the forward positions.
     
    For all of us that thought that Van de Beek would get more chances under Ten Hag.

    He didn't even make it to the bench today.
     
    It’s so wrong that Ramsdale wears short sleeves. In my world, that is reserved for Spanish and South American keepers, not pasty white Englishmen.
     
    Glad we don't do cringey pre-match huddles for the cameras. All for show.
