Can't make the same mistake Spurs did with Kane in 2019 and play a player barely match fit.

Pizy 18,926 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Arse will treat this like a cup final and we’ll never hear the end of it from their fans if we lose to the worst Arse team in my lifetime at home with top 4 on the line. Good that the likes of Silva, Havertz, Mount etc will be nice and fresh after resting at the weekend. Can’t afford to choke like we did last time we played them this season.

Do we really want to risk Silva here? I'd be fine with Zouma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chippy 342 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 After the Leicester win, if I had to choose i'd rather take a win against Arsenal than win the Cup on Saturday. CL football is simply a bigger prize these days, so all guns blazing tmrw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Win this and we are guaranteed to finish at least fourth, and the ECL next season. Will be great to beat this lot, especially after they robbed us in the last cup final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) Mendy Zouma - Silva - Rüdiger James - Gilmour - Jorginho - Chilwell Ziyech - Mount Havertz I would play something along those lines. Hopefully one or two key players get a rest, but not too many, want to beat Arsenal badly. Azpi and Kante are due for some rest imo, Gilmour and Zouma have proven to be adequate covers.

We need more than 3 points for that. Liverpool can still end with 69 points. To be sure of top four we need 6 more points, tho 5 might be enough with our GD over Liverpool. Liverpool have 3 easy games after Utd, so if they beat Utd they'll have a great chance of reaching 69 points. A draw will be a bad result tonight and put us under real pressure.

How many times are "easy" games going to be used as a judgement in a top four race? The reason Liverpool are behind us at this point is because they have kept cocking up those type of games including the reverse fixtures of 2 of their final 3 so called easy games. West Ham supposedly had an easy run in where they were going to sweep up and they fell at the first hurdle. I'm not saying it won't happen, it could, but strength of fixtures in a top four race aren't anywhere near as relevant as they are in a title race.

Agreed, only easy on paper, especially this heavily congested season. But, Liverpool are hitting form at the right time winning 4 out of 6 and only dropping points to late goals to draw 2 games. Leicester win has made it signicantly more difficult for us now, and of course, Liverpool too. Got to forget about Saturday and. select the strongest side available tonight, as no doubt Arsenal will be up for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
