2. Don’t think the first was given

Arsenal are going to struggle creating chances this season

All it does is demand good performances. Kepa should know one cock up from him, Mendy is there to replace him. Rudiger, Christensen, and Zouma should know they are competing for one CB starting spot along side Silva. Alonso should know his starting role is up for grabs the moment Chilwell is fit, so now is his chance to impress.

Do we want to lose him on a free?

Did Brighton even have another preseason game after ours?

Normally I'd say we should have enough to beat them, but with the lack of preseason games we may need to stick with what we are familiar with for the time being.

I would actually expect this team. Maybe Werner on the wing and Giroud up top. Kepa Dave---Rudiger---Zouma---Alonso Kante Barkley-----Mount Havertz----------------------CHO Werner

Hence why I think a midfield of Barkley, Kante, and Mount is probably what Lampard is opting for. Maybe Havertz at RW.

Kovacic suspended I think

Who cares? He can make it iconic just like Zola 25 and Terry 26

It will be him and Keane as a pairing. Don't actually think Ancelotti or Everton fans rate Mina

Depends on the tear. Usually, the meniscus only affects your mobility if there is partial cartilage sticking out. Surgery should fix that given they trim that off. Since cartilage can't grow back, rehab is the most important thing for him right now. He will need to strengthen his knee (quads, glutes, hamstrings, etc) to avoid adding pressure to his knee. He does all that, he should be fine. It's amazing really. Torn cartilage is like having a 6th sense almost. My knee always aches when the weather is about to turn cold or if its going to rain.

Lots of Porto fans are saying the source is BS.

Those saying he is poor with the ball ta his feet, is there a video compilation of that? Want to know what we are dealing with here. Needs to be mentioned that Kepa isn't all that great also.

I read the before and after photos of Goretzka were actually a year and a half apart. Not 4 months.

Kepa Dave----Silva---Zouma---Alonso Kante Havertz----Mount Ziyech----------------Werner Giroud

Mount has been vital for us. Both in our build up and press. It will be interesting to see what Lampard has planned moving forward.

We finally have our Hazard "replacement".

Frank never found a way to use his abilities? Erm, he has? Circa October-December when the midfield three of Mount/Kovacic/Jorginho took the piss out of every opposition in the league at the time. Again, I would love, absolutely love, if in some games we take this approach. Mendy James---Silva---Zouma---Chilwell Jorginho Havertz---Mount Ziyech--------------------Pulisic Werner

Unreal. The fact people still want to cling on to the bizarre notion that Marina had any power in identifying targets, is well and truly absurd.

Marina bashers looking really stupid right now.

Who cares?

All reports are coming off of MARCA, who suck Real off when ever they get the chance given they are a Madrid based paper. I wouldn't look too much into in unless Havertz himself states "its always a dream to play for Real Madrid" ala Hazard

Where did he say he'd like to go to Real at some point?
