Yes, I’d like that please. Many thanks.

Shaw is zero loss. Given how he started the season, and given how badly he's dealt with Saka previously, fatty would have been completely rinsed yet again today.

Diogo's got this.

Diogo is about unconvincing as they come but I don’t see shaw as a big loss for this one. Inbetween giving attackers 20 yards of space allowing them to cross under zero pressure and him bricking it everytime Saka so much as looks at him, it will be a relief not to have him out there.

If we’re to get something, we need a big improvement and something we haven’t seen yet this season.

We looked better against Forest, but still far too open.

I’m hopeful we’ll look fitter and hopefully have some confidence after the Forest comeback.

If Hojlund is fit, start him. That will give everyone a lift. Rashford from the left is better and if it’s not Hojlund, then it’s Martial - and he should not be starting games like this.

Big game head on, full concentration and we can nab something. As Bunks says, a smash and grab.

I can see either a tight 1-1 draw or we’re going to be 3-0 down after 60 mins.

If we’re not 1-0 down in the first 20mins we’ll have a chance

Arsenal have been decidedly meh in their first three games too. Hardly stellar fixtures and they’ve huffed and puffed through all three.

Keep it tight early on, quieten that crowd and get that giddy little hipster having a fit on the touchline after 12 minutes.

Forest should have nicked a point and Fulham did. Making out they're 70s Brazil

This.

Keep it tight early on and no silly mistakes.

Not having De Gea putting our defence under pressure constantly and drawing us deeper and deeper while presenting possession back to them at every opportunity and shitting out of catching crosses puts us in a miles stronger position from the off.

Casemiro plays against them for the first time too.

We win and look good doing it.

What does that even mean? "a bigger club right now"

Does he mean they have a better team than us right now? Probably. But arsenal have never been and never will be a bigger club than manchester united. Ever.

Bottling the league last season has gone to their heads.

Well they'll get nowhere £#%&!ing near it this season. City will win the league by at least 10 points

not impressed by arsenal, but we won't contain saka. a few people seem to be shaw hate blind when it comes to dalot on the left. if, by some miracle, dalot does actually work out that saka will antony every possession, we could easily win.
