I can see a situation in which we go a goal down in the first half but then one of their midfielders gets sent off. We respond with a header from a corner and get a penalty 5 minutes before the end before Miggy slots in a 3rd in the dying minutes. After the match their players surround the referee with some venom but nothing gets done about it.

And pigs might fly.

Sadly Xhaka doesn't get sent off anymore and Partey is too tough to get injured, hence Danny Murphy's endless prediction that the won't manage without one of them, doesn't hold any relevance.

Only way to defeat them is to properly get at them in midfield, hence Joelinton, Bruno and Longy need to be up for this one.

They usually overload midfield. Will need all our front 6 to work their nuts off. They usually do anyway, but it will be on another level.
 
Think this suits us a little more than the Leeds game tbh. Arsenal attack and do so in numbers! Think it'll be decided by a goal - as most games are...

Hopefully Maxi is fit and raring to go! We could really do with his pace and creativity on the break.

3-2 NUFC Joelinton to snap Saka and get sent off in the last min

Line up is -

Joelinton----Wilson----Almiron
--Willock---Bruno-Longstaff----
Burn---Botman--Schar----Trippier
----------------Pope---------------------
 
Should be playing Joe, Bruno and Willock in midfield with Max in the LF position. Longstaff is rubbish, by far the weakest link in our starting 11.

Nah, graft needed tonight mate. If he repeats his Leeds performance he can come off.

In other news, Isak is fit for Sheff Wed and the reports are that he’s been managed properly and looks the absolute business.
 
Glad Wilson is back in, but that is a ****e bench if things need changing up - bar Maxi.

If the owners really are keen to push on for Europe sooner (based on our current position), then we really do need more quality in depth - soon.
