[Its a Goal]

Winks on the bench for Sissoko. Sissoko's babalawo is working overtime this season .

[Tobi17]

Finally Lacazette gets a damn start

[ojafranpa]

Laca to score 2 goals.

[Its a Goal]

ARSEnal doesn't need to come out gun blazing. They just need to accept their role and lay down.

[Coach]

Xhaka, Ramsey pairing will need to be disciplined and appreciate the ability of Ali and Eriksen and the space they'll seek to exploit. As much as one has been an advocate of three at the back fornations, allowing for greater numeracy in midfield, the rule is far from the effect with Beloved, will Ozil and Sanchez track back, if not, do My Son and Kolasinac have the brain to drop into a four with the other inverting to add an extra screen in midfield? Falling into a facetious back five that proves more permeable than the three, has served no more than to decree the frankensteinian misfit. The players don't truly seem to know how to execute the defensive phase of the formation, a return to the 4-whatever-whatever would be favourable, but such is the imperial wisdom of Professor Emeritus, persistence shall be the poison. Hopefully the magnitude of the occasion, which on the grand scheme of things is no more than another game, but for two teams with little and no hope of winning the league, opportunity to play John Snow King of the North till the new year is a fool's gold much coveted.

3-2 Beloved, needless to say, the wager is laid. Put a little flutter on a goal for Koscielny or My Son. Decent odds. Can sense a defender getting on the sheet and Eriksen too, free kick perhaps.

[anikulapo]

So Iwobi is not starting ? Smh

And I thought they said Lloris was injured Cheaters

[Skylolo]

After the loss at Citeh in the last outing we need all the 3 points today.

Come in Arsenal!

[Tobi17]

I have it in good faith that Arsenal will nick a win in this one...at least Wenger seems to get it right with the much needed attacking line up.

[anikulapo]

Lacazette has to do better there smh boy ...hit the damn target

[anikulapo]

Mustafi and KOS screw up each other but Kane face to face with Cech thankfully doesn’t bury the chance

[anikulapo]

Alexis just went crazy on Lacazette and Ozil as he chased and pressed while they jogged around .... don’t worry Alexis you have only a month left at the Emirates purgatory

[Coach]

No more than touching gloves, respectful early exchanges with both looking to move into their position in the ring. Beloved starting on the front foot, good to go for the early stoppage or at least soften them up so they're tender for the latter rounds.

[anikulapo]

Lacazette again with a poor touch in the box ...cmon men

[Coach]

Tottenham's guard being tested and creaking. Fine ball from Ramsey, almost. Almost. Only a matter of time. Rope-a-doping, by there's no rope Johnny, they're going down.

[anikulapo]

How did Xhacrap escape a yellow there

[anikulapo]

I wish we had Iwobi and Welbeck

[anikulapo]

Look at Ramshyt again ... what an absolute moron trying to do skills he doesn’t have and once again loses the Ball in a dangerous area

[ojafranpa]

Alli is a cheat

[anikulapo]

Get Dhaka off the field .... he has already been warned and now clatters into Alli and gets a yellow ..l should have been off now ...

Look at Ozil strolling and not tracking and Eriksen nearly scores

[anikulapo]

Xhaka will get a red ... I will sub that twat right now

[anikulapo]

Mustafiiiiiiiiii
