Should be 3 points in the bag but this is Arsenal so could easily go the other way.

Get well soon Arsene

No need to rush Laca for Stoke. He needs to be fit for Europa.

Should be a straightforward win with the right attitude. Depends what Arsenal shows up. If we turn up all complacent expecting a win with some sloppy defending stoke could easily grab some points. Won’t be surprised either way

No he kinda needs to be fit to play

Would be good to have him on the bench, and getting a 20 minute run out. If he isn't fit enough for the bench on Sunday then I would assume he would not start on Thursday.

The Stoke away match was one of the more irritating matches this season. Absolutely battered them from start to finish, but the Jese fella who has apparently been garbage all season chose that match to play a blinder and score his only goal of the season.

I forgot about football.

Agree with DJ. Laca should start on the bench and hopefully manage to play 20-25 minutes.
Same with Monreal. I wouldn't start him vs Stoke. Hopefully the big tank can do a job.

Didn’t help that two big decisions went against us (penalty shout and Laca disallowed goal)

Would start Laca and sub him at halftime. He needs some minutes of football before CSKA game.

Not sure if Kolasinac is fit. Was subbed in the friendly. Otherwise he should play.

Pretty ridiculous idea tbh.

Yeah let's ruin his confidence even more...

For what reason exactly

Laca should start from the bench and be given 20/25 mins. Taking him off at H/T is a rubbish idea.

Personally I'd give Laca 24-25 mins at the end. But knowing Arsene, he'll probably only get 22-23

Shocking performance by Bould. Sounded so nervous. Worried about Crouch? Is that the only preparation?

Wow, we actually know the name of one of their players?!

Things really are changing in the Arsenal set up!

Kept on saying is Jack is ok but doesn't know if he will play? I mean seriously. Is he a part of the coaching staff?

9 out of 9.

Sounds like a run that is due to end.

Wonder what odds on Stoke this weekend?

8/1

How many of our players will score 10+ goals this season? Lacazette is 1 away, then chance Welbeck and Ramsey may do

Maybe worth it in case they nick an early goal. Cash out

tbf much harder to score 10+ goals from midfield.
