closed Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal

[Pizy 18,858]

Think this'll be a very open, back and forth match. Both teams under new managers that like to press high. We saw last weekend that Cech looked super nervy under heavy pressing so hopefully we can do the same as City did and force him to make mistakes.

I worry about Luiz and Alonso against Özil, Lacazette, Auba, and Mkitaryan. Lots of quick movement and pace which both of them struggle against.

If Eden starts I'll be very confident, if not I think we'll struggle going forward.

Don't forget about the speedy Bellerin overlapping on that side as well. We share the same concerns. Their weak spot is midfield and CB pair so if we press properly we should be able to control the possession and shut down their quick passing or at least force them into long balls which isn't their strength. Will be a strong test to see what areas of our team need improving.

If we had a Drogs or Diego 100% confident.

Still reckon we'll smash them

Peeps forgetting the game a couple of short weeks ago? We hadn't had hardly any rime on this system but it wasn't back and forth that day.

We have our full squad together now - might not all be match fit but I;d still take them over a north London side.

I'd like to see Eden get 45 mins and Kovacic 20 mins. I'm dying to get him started.

Didn't see a captains armband on Eden ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Maybe ask him if hes signing his contract any time soon. That would get the fans hyped too!

Looks like Sarri and Eden are bonding

I wish we had our shit together a bit more before playing Arsenal.  I'm thinking 1-1.  Arsenal's key players have all had longer pre-seasons with the new manager.

I bet Bellerin is having sleepless nights already hoping CHO doesn't start.

Can you hear his arse squeaking? Could be a line from a new Bellerin chant 

He is pretty much fucked either way haha. Eden or CHO.

I'm making it 3-0 and actually see Morata scoring. Want to see the wee baldy man on the board again too! Want yo see him turn into a micro monster.

Nah, can't see Morata scoring. He'll probably F up like he usually does against Arsenal.

Fixed that for you.

You really do need a good dose of Blue in you bud. You got less confidence than Morata sometime!
