First repeat fixture since we've started on lemmy lol, time to start adding dates ig
We need this so badly, I feel like punching a wall I'm so nervous about it. COYG
Already beat one mental block away at Goodison Park. Champion teams can't have any mental blocks.
Also need to be more ruthless and stop it with the handbrake. COYG.
Not disagreeing with you, but counterpoint: city and spuds
Fair point. Guess champions are allowed one away mental block. Atleast ours isn't Everton anymore.
Saka AND Martinelli in the lineup?!?! Our counter-attack is back. This is a must win now. I'd have settled for a draw, but now we must secure all 3 points.
@coygsu @Astrealix wait; are you seeing this somewhere?
I don't mind Michael Oliver.
We need to come out the gates hot, and sting them early
Gonna be a beautiful sunny day, atmosphere should be on point.
Lets get it boys! COYG
Havertz goal from open play please Woooo!
Martinelli on the bench at least, expect to be unleashed at 65'
Rice-Jorgi double pívot huh. Wonder why no Partey. Kinda fucking annoyed about Saka Martinelli ngl
Rip Saka's streak btw
I see Partey coming in during the latter half
At least it looks like their midfield is relatively weak for a Man City side, as expected...
Not too confident with this lineup. I'll be fine with a draw.
A draw is progress my pragmatic side is telling me
expecting 2-0 City win.
Yeah, I'd be content if we draw. Nothing about this lineup says a win for Arsenal. I want to be wrong tho.
