    Antony De Gea

    Antony Malacia
    Antony Martínez
    Antony Varane
    Antony Dalot

    Antony Casemiro
    Antony McTominay

    Anthony Elanga
    Antony Fernandes
    Antony Sancho

    Antony Rashford (Martial if fit)
     
    Only a few days rest, can see a few changes coming in here, think Maguire, Ronaldo & Case will all start here although I'd only replace Elanga with Ronaldo for me

    Feels as if the only decision to be made is whether to go unchanged again, or whether to start Antony or Ronaldo over Elanga.

    Wouldn’t start Casemiro. Eriksen and McTominay look better.

    Antony Dalot is the rarest of Antony. Shiny Antony.

    I don't want them to start but Maguire will need game time and this is a small break between games, how do you keep his morale up either way as Varane will get injured at some point and we will need to rotate

    He is more likely to start vs Sociedad than Arsenal at home in the league
     
    Seriously people it's ERIKSEN not Ericksen, Erickson, Erikson, Ericsen also ANTONY not Anthony i can understand problems with Mkhitaryan but there is nothing difficult in those names. Its worse then what Rashford has to offer for that team.
     
    I suspect that Martial is still out.

    You do not rotate a settled CB partnership unless you have to or it’s a lesser fixture. Please understand that.
     
    Arsenal have been playing at a ridiculous tempo so far... we'll need to work as hard as we did vs. Liverpool to beat them.

    Not sure Casemiro + Eriksen will have those legs.... maybe those two plus McT? Put Bruno on the right? I'm assuming Anthony won't start straight away.
     
    This will be a challenging game for our full backs. Malacia and Dalot will need to avoid early bookings. Otherwise I’m confident Martinez will mark Jesus and make it very difficult for him. Take the same approach we took against Liverpool and we may pull out another win.

    It won’t be stylish or necessarily done with great football, but ten Hag needs time to impose his tactics. Good results matter at this stage to boost the confidence of a broken squad. So far it’s working.
     
    Wouldn't be surprised to see Bruno start on the right, so Casemiro-McT-Eriksen Bruno-Sancho-striker (Martial if fit?), with Antony the option from the bench.

    I can understand, that some of them could be difficult, but only if you are planning a road trip at the beginning of new school and you need to make a list of all your class mates and figure it out how to write it, hearing them for the first time, but if you are a football fan, and all you need to do is to remember, that player in your team is ERIK SEN is not that difficult and anyone that can't check it and remember how to spell 20 names, talking about them and writing about their performances for the next few years is just lazy and i do not have respect for that kind of people.

    Dalot
    Varane
    Martinez
    Malacia

    Casemiro
    McTominay
    Bruno

    Sancho
    Ronaldo
    Radford

    Eriksen looked tired by the end of the game, and Arsenal will play quickly. Save him for the second half. McTominay has been in good form and think he and Casemiro could form a good partnership based on the little we've seen so far.

    Radford can't play up top and I doubt Martial will be ready. I think that front 3 is the only real option we have that poses a threat. Antony to come on.

    Thank you for pointing that out and sorry i am not familiar with all 1 million English words as it is not my native language.

    I understand that supposed to be an allusion for that players names i mentioned.

    You are right, this is exactly the same thing. To know all English words vs remembering 20-30 players names. I have already correct my mistake and edited my post and I will update my wordlist, to not make that mistake ever again.

    Cheers mate.

    Id say so. Ten Hag was refusing to confirm if hed even be ready to be part of the squad. Antony has missed weeks of training with Ajax

    Considering how Casemiro isn't considered ready enough to start and how long Ten Hag had to wait to start Varane after his injury, I say there is zero chance Antony starts considering he hasn't trained for the last few weeks. He'll be lucky to make a sub appearance against Arsenal.
     
    Really hope Antony plays some part, ETH has shown a willingness to throw his Ajax players immediately in so I’m hopeful we’ll see him come off the bench.

    A win would be massive for us. I fully expect us to get one too. It would put us in the driving seat for top four. And if we beat pool and the arse in back to back home games it puts the league on notice.
     
    Have absolutely no idea how we approach this game. Pressing high v controlling the ball has two different attacking lineups.
     
    People putting Martial in their line ups, did they miss ETG press conference? He won't be fit for the Arsenal game and a bit longer, that has already been confirmed.

    If we follow the same pattern as our last 3 games, we'll start dominant, press, control the game and score. Then we sit back and defend tooth and nail.

    Unless if Ten Hag's lack of complete grasp of english didn't convey the message as intended then yes, Martial is out for the Arsenal game and a bit longer after that. People should expect him at the earliest the week after next week.

    Just seen it, thanks.

    Ffs.
     
    I think this is going to be a much tougher test than the Liverpool game. Arsenal have found a fluid way of playing while right now Liverpool's style is pretty much the same from game to game (not saying they are bad, they aren't sadly) and you now who is going to be where.

    They are also pretty free scoring and we are not so that will make things tricky. I'm not going to predict a score but someone has to be the first to burst their bubble and if it is us that will do wonders for confidence and belief. But I'm not anywhere close to confident it will be. Not sure we are confident enough to come from behind yet, that is going to take time and more work from ETH. To be honest, I'd take a draw right now and I'd like to see Ronaldo starting to at least give their defence something to think about...
     
    This this the type of match and opposition where we are better of with rashford over ronaldo. Arsenal will very likely have more possession and play on the front foot to give us plenty of space to play on the counter.

    Also a fiery Argentinian defender vs a scrappy Brazilian striker, that is going to be some duel.
