Mane and Salah are always fit. I'm starting to think Mane is an alien
Premier League Gameweek 3
- Thread starter matys
- Start date
We’ll hit them with 81 crosses. They’ll never see it coming.
I'll probably regret posting this but that Arsenal line-up looks extraordinarily average.
Henderson and Thiago out.
Shite you mean
I'm genuinely stunned that this Arsenal team is competitive. Xhaka, Elneny and Holding aren't top 4 quality players. Arteta is a genius for getting a tune out of them.
Didn't Gabriel have a good debut? Right back on the bench!
Yeah, but it's never the front three though, is it?
Mitrovic is absolute gash
There’s no way that keeper, defence and midfield can hold off Liverpool, front 3 is okay but that’s about it..
I admire his ability to win every single header
You're right on that, but it does shift the subject away from 'any key players'. Although you can extend it to TAA, Robertson, Van Dijk, and Wijnaldum, all of whom seem to be pretty much always available.
Targeted recruiting? (Drugs comments are boring and anyway have little to do with long-term muscle or bone injuries.)
So bloody what.
They can have Lingard, Perrira and Fred in there and it still won't make a difference.
It's The front 3, 2 full backs and VVD that make this team tick.
Thiago Ox Henderson and Matip are all unavailable. We’ve just been fortunate enough not to have long term injuries in the last 2 seasons to any of the front three and VVD. Although Alisson did miss the first third of last season.
Think anyone who doesn’t get 6 points out of their two games with Fulham deserves to go down with them
I think you’d find it would.
I think they're much better tactically than they have been though. Arteta has his head screwed on straight.
Nice one Villa.
Emiliano Martinez could well be the best keeper in the league. Not sure why Arsenal chose Leno over him.
Doped up to their eyeballs yet only City seem to be the ones who have any coverage of that
True, by the law of averages one of his headers should have done something useful, but no, they've all been shit headers too.
He seems very mentally strong, which makes him consistent and reliable. Only Arsenal fans who watched him week in week out can answer that one.
I think Arsenal fans were sad to see him go to be honest.
Weird timing considering our captain and best midfielder are injured right now.
As a defender, he is the goalkeeper you want to play in front of. Based on what I've seen so far, I honestly wouldn't swap him for any keeper in England.
Best midfielder ?
Arsenal to win, and the World ends.
If Arsenal win the league table will look interesting after three games. Top three of Leicester, Everton & Arsenal.
Arsenal will break Liverpool’s million year home unbeaten run in the league tonight.
David Luiz against Salah. This is gonna be fun. 
Agreed. Leno hasn't been any good since The Tonight Show.
Have to worry for Fulham - going to be a long season for them.
Yeah Martinez is brilliant. If Arsenal ever want him back, Villa should ask for Leno and £10m. Wouldn’t go as far as to say he’s the best (Alisson, Henderson and Pope all have a say), but he’s right up there.
Parker will be gone soon.
Nah, they'll be fine if they find a new manager and a better team.
Didn't know Spiderman played for Fulham!
They only need to improve on a few areas, including passing, creating chances and defending.
I remember the days when League tables were not seen until at least 10 games.
I always think Arteta will reveal himself as Odo from DS9 one of these days.
