The balance looked great first half against Chelsea. But against Arsenal's midfield 3, Tonali and Bruno might get overrun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 If Rice is out and Merino/Jorginho are also unavailable what's their midfield 3 likely to be? Lewis-Skelly or Zinchenko with Partey and Odegaard? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 This is gonna be a fiesty game isnt it. Hopefully they spit their dummies out and crumble under an onslaught of Juice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beating Arsenal would be amazing though. Feel like captain obvious here but a draw would be better for GD than a loss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we don't go with that lineup... 🤣 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Going down to this. I've been to three away/neutral games this season, all London and we've won all three. (Tottenham, West Ham, cup final). Also I've been to the Emirates twice and we've not lost (1-1 2006/07, 0-0 2022/23). We're doing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelinton7 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Was just thinking that if we win our next two and Liverpool lost their next two, we’d only finish 12 points off the title. Getting closer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazzy Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Been way more confident about winning this since they've started dropping points every week. Hope Rice is out, that would be huge. If he is, I think we win. I'd rather not leave it to the last day. Feels like Everton @ home is always a shit one and it could easily end 0-0 like that Leicester one when we last qualified for UCL.
