So, win lose or draw, I'd rather get these games out of the way while we can. At least this way we'll have plenty of time left to recover and lost ground in the race for top four. Better to be weak now rather than shattered at the end of the season when cups or top four might be at stake. True, but only if we can actually field a side that can compete. Arteta has revealed the Arsenal training ground has been shut down due to an outbreak, so not sure how they're allowed to play, but presumably, they won't be playing their boxing day fixture.

We are pretty rubbish in front of goal but in our defense last game we didn’t have bunch of strikers available due to bloody covid! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boratsbrother Report post Posted December 18, 2021 Arsenal, Spurs and Utd all improving. With all our problems and up coming games against Liverpool and City, we could easily be outside the top four by the end of January.😮 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
