Thought we would have Calfiori and Zinny available today. Now a draw is a good result for us.

No, only a win is a good result.

Decent attacking options on the bench but not much else

Spurs have gone with a very attacking line up

Yeah I assumed they'd rotate, but the official account seemed quite specific

That's quite the ultra attacking formation by Spurs. They will definitely dominate possession and territory (even if we were full strength - it's just how they play). Have to be sharp on the counter and take our chances. Concerned at how Partey and Jorginho will cope with the speed and high intensity of the game. They don't have the legs.

We have Maldini and Heaven on the bench - what more could you want?

Havertz suggesting change. Hmmmmm.

Could be Havertz in midfield and Trossy up front.

Calafiori may have been on the bench, and Zinchenko is no more a starter. What are they supposed to change in our setup?

Havertz has to help the midfield out. He's the only one there with any athleticism.

Better hope we don't get any early injuries in defence or attack.

Poverty options to bring on

Or long ball to Havertz and by pass Spurs press.

Yeah me too. But maybe Jesus fitness is not 100%

Wonder why Arsenal.com not give us an information about Calafiori injury.

Oh, there was me wishing Saliba gets his leg broken in the first minute...

Man City played a certain formation against us at home with Haaland/De Bruyne. I just wonder if Trossard has seen how De Bruyne plays that role close up with Belgium.

Clearly a long term one which is why he left the Italian camp early.

We have to get rid of Tomiyasu and Zinny in the summer.

You know who would be good at Rangers?

Holdinho

Random thought of the day.

Pub still has their game on and they're playing Cher's back catalogue

Problem is when we win the ball back in those deep positions and Havertz gets it, he's the sloppiest player we have in possession (other than maybe Martinelli) and will turn over the ball again and again. He'll either make sloppy passes to surrender possession, or he'll get caught on the ball before he can sort his legs out. He's just not sharp enough on the ball which is why I hate seeing him in midfield.

And Trossard came back from the international break and said "Mikel... Hear me out..."
