The only thing that stopped me doing better ( I got 29) on the BBC quiz was my spelling.

It was always going to be a tough season. Sometimes you've got to take a step back to take a leap forwards.I wish Ole would show some f*cking balls and drop DDG for Romero.
Terrible lineup so I expect us to win.Not very confident considering the injuries. Could do without playing these fecks twice to be honest.After the way Lingard played against City a few weeks back it really was pretty obvious and logical he'd get the nod again. Seems unlikely he'll play as well as he did for much of that game today though.Massive shame about Maguire being out. I know he's it had his best games recently but, well... He's not Phil Jones so that's always a plus to your defence. No cover at all on bench is a huge concern too as Jones is injury prone.
Midfield leaves a lot to be desired but we know all about the injury problems and lack of quality there. Biggest surprise is Greenwood over Martial. Unless there's some fitness issue I've not heard of, that's a huge boost to Greenwood. Big game for Williams too.Pep changed his tactics, surely he will sit back this time and hit us on the counter with Sterling's paceFernandinho, a midfielder, is a better defender than Calamity Jones. City have put out a surprisingly strong line-up tonight. Worrying.This is exactly what I was thinking against Wolves. Ole keeps playing Maguire even though he's injured, just like he did with Scott. And now we've got Jones against City. He really needs to learn to manage the fitness of the players a lot lot better.Losing Maguire is the biggest disaster, if he's out for awhile we're screwed.
You just can't help but expect Jones to drop a clanger.Interesting Fletcher on sky really pushing that we have a plan. Ole is the man and the plan is 3-4 years.This just shows how much the first team and squad has to change. I doubt Ole had many more options reallyThe fact Jones is still at the club ishilariousdepressing.
But he was limping most of the game. A Liverpool fan mate of mine literally said during the game “lol what are you lot doing, Maguire still on and limping”. Presumably only those on our bench could not see this.
It's terrible management and just makes him look weak as piss, like the players call the shots. The way he's reacted so slowly with players hurt is dreadful and continues to cost us. That or rushing players back.Jones and Lingard. Well, this at least will be fun to watch.
Reminds me of Arsene and his 5 year plan. Interesting how that worked out.
Hopefully, he won't be out for too long. He almost made the starting eleven tonight by all accounts.
Are you being Gary Neville haha
His mates are doing their best to keep him in the job.
You didn't mention Ole in your post. Is everything okay?Jonah.
We are going to twat them. The 2nd leg will be made redundant.
Doesn't he pretty much work for the club now though, he's toeing the company line.Expecting Mino Raiola's Lingard to play like he's on steroids.Otamendi, Fernandinho and Rodrigo in a back 3?
Our front 3 could deffo give them trouble.
No idea. Did he say that? If so I agree with himI hope Jones can score the bloody winner from an assist from Lingard or the other way around. Although to be fair as long as we win I don't care how it is done today.JLingz has got sordid photos of Ole. I'm sure of it.
How it worked out is exactly why Arsenal are where they are now.
He retired and with no long term plan by the club. Ring a bell?Fans on here are acting like Jones is the worst defender in the league. I m pretty sure those same fans taught Evans and Smalling was pretty shite as well. Jones might not be world class, but on his day, he can be a good defender. As long as we have the correct gameplan and motivation, we can win
As Gollum doing ArwenMicah Richards needs a tighter suit.
Yeah, it really is. I'm pretty amazed it's not obvious to everyone. Rushed Pogba back in the autumn, played him in a game where he wasn't needed for 90 mins. Played Scott for 40mins with a knew ligament injury. Rushed Pogba back in the same game. And then again against Wolves, Maguire 90mins with a hip injury. It's kamikaze management.
What would someone who made a pretty good career in the game actually know anyway? Isn't he aware that a bunch of armchair analysts disagree with him?
Yeh...is this confirmed? They way he's talking he is clearly involved.
Lingard yes, Jones noSo you didn't expect Jones and Lingard to start.
Isn't that a bit of a weird starting 11 from City?Mahrez and DeBrugne going to tear us apart this could get real ugly real fast.
Weird in which sense?- Status
