Rumours he was about to be sold a few weeks back so that might develop tomorrow.

Hah, interesting that. Probably to fund a move for their new centre back from Bundesliga.

Saliba apparently picked up the injury but wanted to give it a go.
Reasonable decision given their lack of other players who can play CB

And they will likely buy someone else tomorrow.

2 more CB’s and 3 more wingbacks.

Maybe a couple of wingers, they certainly won’t buy a striker.
Pretty sure Phil McNulty has deleted a piece from last week about Arsenal 
There seems an odd gap on football last weekend and I am sure I read a silly wankfest on Arsenal.

Blaming the balls again, bad enough doing it when Newcastle knocked them outta the league cup

Like I’ve looked at it several times and he’s actually got much of it right but the swerve and pace is just too good, it’s a decent keeper but I don’t think he’s spectacular and he often makes the simple look hard.
It’s got fuck all to do with the ball. We are not sat here banging on about the ball being an issue across the league.

Dowman is very talented but turning to a 15 year old at Anfield to save the game instead of an experienced and effective PL winger, who has played that role of last minute savior quite regularly, is certainly a choice.

It’s just an opinion but I’m quite sure Arteta was sat there going, ‘well Slot’s teenager came on last week and was a hero so I’m going to get mine on. It’s Anfield, it’s schadenfreude, it’s written in the stars’ imagining the fans singing, allez allez allez, fuck off Pepe, Max’s a gunner now.
Derivative manager, derivative club.

Not to mention Trossard’s history of actually scoring at Anfield… But hey, it’s his game. For all I care, they don’t have to win any trophies for the next thirty years. When they also weren’t winning them, at least they were doing it in a manner so beautiful and unlucky that you’d have been forgiven for feeling sorry for them (especially as the actual trophies would be going to the likes of Man United and Chelsea instead - as would their best players).

Trossard not playing was actually perplexing. He’s probably being lined up for a transfer out.
Always seemed to pick his game up against us.
When you go through their squad there is a lot of talent and depth but compared to us and the amount of international captains and leaders and ‘best in class’ players we have you can see why they are perennial bridesmaids and 2nd best in every department.
GK: Raya is 2nd in national team behind unai Simon and 2nd best in PL behind Alisson.
CB: Saliba - the 2nd best CB in the prem behind Virgil
DM: Zubimendi - the 2nd DM in Spanish national team behind Rodri.
CM: Rice the 2nd best English midfielder behind Bellingham.
RW: Saka the 2nd best right winger in the league behind Salah.
CF: Gyokeres the 2nd best Swedish striker.
The list goes on but Arteta has basically assembled a billion pound squad that is 2nd best in class in almost all departments.
