NBC have fucked up their coverage and aren't showing the game here in America. Fuck me.

That Arse XI is fucking shocking. Like, 2-3 players apart that's a horrendous team. You know what that means...

Villa are absolutely battering Palace playing with 10 men. Like seriously destroying them. Terrible team to have to play with just 2 days between the Arse match. They are great in the counter and love to run.

Holy shit, both fullbacks are fit. Now there's a very pleasant surprise. And no Willian or Luiz to score against us is nice. For the love of god can I have a nice birthday gift today with a win against a side I despise. And for Werner to score and break his drought.

Two really idiotic yellows as well. Should make our already dangerous setpieces and corners even more so in a couple of days. Now all we need is for Grealish to pick up a small knock here and miss our match as well. 😆

Haaland has Manchester bidding war written all over him for me. Both will be extremely desperate for a talismanic #9 and both will be willing to offer astronomical wages that I doubt we would touch like £350-400k a week. City need a long term Aguero replacement and United have only 34 year old Cavani who they won't want to depend on as their main man for next year. After last summer I think our next 2-3 transfer windows will be extremely subdued. Only making moderately priced buys to replenish our squad depth once the likes of Alonso etc are sold. Definitely don't expect any incomings next month. Can see this being a Liverpool sort of situation where after they splashed out on mega expensive players they then went to smaller teams and bought young players with lots of promise for much cheaper and started developing them. Or we'll just promote our own youngsters instead.

I kinda like the idea of starting our fastest possible attack with Timo up top flanked by CHO and CP but I doubt Frank will suddenly change the system so drastically all of a sudden sadly. Arse's CB's are calamitous so Werner playing through the middle could do some real damage. Plus, with the likes of Luiz and Mustafi or whoever they play Werner's pace could also draw a penalty. But I think Frank loves the idea of a traditional #9 too much to do it. I would definitely have thought Giroud would start this since he'll be really up for it against Arse but then Tammy went and scored a couple so likely won't be dropped.

As horrendous as Arse have been this will be an absolute slog just like much of the WH game was on Monday with all these key injuries. That's 3 of our most dangerous players out again with their replacements several levels worse than them. This feels like it'll be one of those games where it's dreadfully poor for 85 minutes and 1 goal will win it. If ever there was a time for Werner and Havertz to come out of their shells it's during the next week or two.

Here in the States we've got NBA players going to strip clubs mere days before the season starts tonight. 😂😂😂 I'm sure we'll see one of our players do something idiotic like go to a party.

I see Martinelli is fit just in time for his first PL match back against us. 😒 Right when both RJ and James are injured. Azpi got burned for pace against Declan Rice yesterday so that should be a fun matchup this weekend. Apparently been their most dangerous player against City so far.

If I were a betting man living in the UK I'd put money on one of Luiz or Willian scoring against us. Willian has been shocking all season and their fans hate him. But he'll want to stick it to us here. I bet one of them will score a worldie from a free kick. 😂

I'd actually feel good going into Arse after this result if both our fullbacks weren't out.

Holy shit. This is some Man United style flukey luck. 😂😂😂

Have we done any training at all recently? I mean seriously, we look like we don't know what we're doing out here. Aimless, bottom of the table sort of football. Our players all look like they aren't even bothered either.

We look fucking horrendous all over the pitch. My goodness. Literally poor in every position except for Thiago Silva.

We just look like a side all across our midfield and attack that is completely fatigued. Even after a week off. And we aren't even into the absolute worst of the fixture congestion yet. Hugely worrying. Seeing none of the sharpness and creativity from Werner, Mount, or anyone else that we saw just a couple of weeks ago. We're awful to watch now having been arguably the most exciting team in the league up until Leeds and Sevilla.

Werner is waiting and waiting for the pass and Pulisic could've played him in 2 or 3 paces earlier than he did and onto his right foot. It was 100% not the ideal pass. A fully sharp and confident Werner puts it away but that's still not a tap in.

That's on Pulisic there. Played it way too late and on Werner's wrong foot. Timo should do better, yes, but that was poor from CP.

Azpi just had a 5 yard head start there and let Rice get to the ball ahead of him...

We've gone totally flat and awful since the goal. Werner struggling to even control the ball once again. 😣

Another CB corner goal! But now BOTH starting fullbacks injured....my god.

No Antonio who is their most dangerous attacker and they have 50 year old tortious Mark Noble in midfield. If we don't bounce back and win this at home, after two embarrassing results, and with a full week to rest up then the whole team should be sacked.

Where is this "poor midfield" stuff coming from? This is now twice in 2 days you've said this. Our midfield has been class up until these last two matches just like the rest of the team. I agree that this will probably be an annoyingly tough match because WH are in great form but you're going a bit overboard with underrating our players. I'm much more worried about the workhorses Antonio & Bowen than I am about the midfield. They'll be under instructions from Moyes to sprint at our CB's as often as possible.

Not having that at all. They're not better man for man than our players. Fernandes is the only one of their whole attack I'd have to replace ours. And their midfield is poverty. Fred, McT, Matic etc are shite. Our team is just woefully out of form. Just a couple of weeks ago and the the United fans were saying their team was shit and ours was perhaps the best in the league.

The table just makes for embarrassing reading right now. To spend £200m and have the likes of Everton, Southampton, and Leicester (Nevermind Spuds and a United side their own fans have been slating all season) above us right now is ridiculous. If we don't win our next few on the bounce and get ourselves back on track then Lamps' job has to be on the line. We have the deepest squad in the PL packed with quality. Any manager would dream of having this squad. If Frank can't get them playing we'll have to get someone who can ASAP to rescue top 4.
