Arsenal (A) 2/12: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Tony Towner]

Chirewa is on the bench today, I'd bring him on instead of Fabio. One potentially has a future at the club, the other doesn't

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Wouldn't be surprised if Fabio got some time today, ineffective as he is as a striker, our forwards will be doing a lot of chasing, Sasa simply can't do that.

Andy Keogh's Wolves career more or less ended after a rubbish sub appearance at Arsenal, if Fabio came on and replicated his previous cameos then there's a fair chance history would repeat itself.

I also much preferred Andy Keogh to Fabio Silva.

I think Fabios Wolves career is already over, has been for a while. He'll be sold or loaned out in January.

Ironically I seem to remember him doing alright when he came on after Rauls injury.

Yep, good CF play for the Podence goal.

 

[HanDoJin]

Looking forward to today. Arsenal player, back to goal, ball moving out of penalty area, feels toe grazed by opponent and falls to the floor. Ref awards a penalty and sends Dawson for an early shower. The Beautiful Game.

Somebody needs to tailor Boubacar’s shirts.

 

[Carsy]

No real suprises. Likely more 541/532 than 343

 

[darlowolf64]

About the best we could hope for, that line up...

 

[Alan]

Wolves v. VAR is the lead story on NBC.

 

[Dire Wolf]

A little thin on the ground on the bench, but the first 11 essentially picked itself. It's down as a 4-4-1-1 on the Wolves app but I'd highly doubt that.

 

[sycophantia]

I'd expect Bueno and Toti double teaming on Saka, unless Toti man marks him.

What could possibly go wrong with that?!

 

[sycophantia]

Dunno, he's done that job a few times this season I think, obviously Saka is an exceptional talent.

 

[Carsy]

Good goal but far to easy

 

[Banjo]

That's a great goal really. Shame. Another very early concession.

 

[sycophantia]

Bugger.

 

[Carsy]

Bellegarde doesn’t track Saka after the flick

 

[The Bear]

A bit weak from Dawson at the end there, but it was good play from them to work a way through.
