Putting aside that attempt by the chairman to try to blend in and look like one of us, and not that guy who torpodoed every chance we had of a silverware, by his public statements, instead looking at the NLD game coming up with a learned eye from the Saturday game against Sheff U, I have noticed that we now have 2/3 different ways of approaching games.
We can play through the midfield, with Bissouma, Sarr and Maddison, with Sonny up front or if we are not making the necessary breaktthrough, specially against the low blocks, we can switch it up by bringing on Perisic and Richy boy and play directly to Richy boy.
It is a very effective back-up strategy to have. It opens up the options to make deadly use of dead ball situations like corners, free kicks, case in point is the corner that led to the equaliser.
I thinkwe should use Sonny first and if it fails, opt for Perisic-Richy boy option.
It would interesting to see if Martinelli recovers in time. Porr would find it easier to face Tossard than Martinelli.
Udogie and VDV will face the prospect of Saka and White, with Saka not particularly looking very bright right now. Myabe the injury is still impacting him. Udogie will need to be aware of his movement when going forward and coming back to assist VDV.
If we are still in the game, come 70-80 mins, we can bring in Perisic and Richy boy, and play a different style. We also have Brennan, the second fastest player in the league as another weapon!!
Options galore, and if those "experts" think Spurs are coming with less options since Kane left, well - they will be in for a shock!!

Son needs to play up front in the centre. He's our best finisher and against Arsenal I would expect a more open game in which we will get good chances. Richy did well last game, but I want those chances to fall to Son more than Richy.

I would play son and Richie. Son loves playing against a high line and Richie will get a few of them booked with his sh 1t housery. Once a few yellows are fished out, let Brennan run at them if we need a goal.

Perisic now out for the season , needs an op. That’s one less option

Richarlison starts for me. Son to the left. Son has had plenty of success against Arsenal from this position and unlike Conte Spurs, he isnt always starting from the edge of his own box, he's more advanced, better able to affect the game when we turn over possession.
I think this will be a breathless game but if you watched the Arsenal United game, the gooooons were way more circumspect that their usual hi-octane approach, it was more careful and considered and they struggled to break down a negative United. So we will have spells in the game where we control the ball and for me having Richy on the pitch works well in these moments as well as him having the energy to press, chase lost causes and be a nuisance when we are out of possession or looking to break out. Plus he's buzzing right now and will be fired up for this one

Hearing the new young Argentine striker maybe asked to take part now.
I don't know what kind of player he is but if he does one tenth of what Aguerro did, I would be happy

I suspect we will put in a plucky performance but lose, and have to watch Captain Scarlett and his smug lego face for most of the following week.
I would take a draw, and we are certainly due a result at the Degenerates.
Levy out.
