I fully expect a reaction today. Not just after last weeks piss poor display but because of what this game means in terms of our season and getting one up on the scum. If we don’t turn up again, serious questions will be asked. Serious. Questions.
Lucas has done very little to prove that he can be trusted as a starter. Their lot will likely race out of the traps and expend a lot of energy in the first hour or so. Sokratis/Luiz is an ageing and ponderous partnership. The last thing they'll want to see is Lucas coming on with 20 mins to go. I'm pretty happy with our team. Delighted beyond words to see Jan back in the fold. Very risky playing (presumably) Toby at RB but against the pace Arsenal have his instructions will (presumably) be to stay back while Rose is the FB who pushes on. So much depends on Eriksen's head, although we have 3 really strong attacking options on the bench for the first time in as long as I can remember. COYS
