nil 1 Arse

sloppy goal

[Pizy 17,860]

Fulham look like they always do. Just like last time they were in the PL, they play some decent stuff going forward but are shite at everything else.

they have Ola Aina on loan now

Arse have Luiz and Willian

its like Chels rejects derby

 

[Vesper 27,284]

Fulham have a tonne of decent players not on the bench or not in starting lineup

Alphonse Areola 
Antonee Robinson  
Ola Aina   
Kenny Tete   
André Zambo Anguissa    
Mario Lemina 
Jean Michaël Seri 
Anthony Knockaert   
Bobby Reid   
Aleksandar Mitrovic

Fulham will go down, I say this now as they are lifeless.

[MoroccanBlue 5,194]

Arsenal are going to struggle creating chances this season

I chose Saliba for my fantasy team and not even on the bench. And also Auba, who is closer to seeing the red card than scoring a goal, I'm kind of lucky.

The game itself, quite slow and boring, an Arsenal's total dominance over a too weak Fulham.

I hope that the players that lack Fulham will work because with these, Fulham would have a shameful classification, let's see if the game gets a little lively in this second part.

They have a lot of players to try to improve the team, but those who are on the field today, my god ... some can't even control a ball.

[Pizy 17,860]

I think Arse and Spuds are extremely similar. Both have very solid looking XI's and have a good shape about them. But both are totally reliant on their main striker. If Kane or Auba get injured they drop a huge level down.

I think Arse will do what they normally do and look very good for a portion of the season but then shocking at other times. I predict that within a few weeks we'll hear kneejerk reactions from pundits asking if Arse can challenge for the title. It'll be short lived.

Gabriel header from a corner
