Arsenal 3-0 Saints - Match Thread

[Charlie Wayman]

The absence of Romeu has decided this match IMO. 3-0 to the Arsenal is about the best we an hope for.

Early goal for us, and then we’ll blow it.

No, I don't think we'd sign someone who hasn't played professional football in months and start them 2 days after arrival. It's more likely for me he sits on the bench as a back up if Lewis goes down and if Lewis does poorly (as he likely will) he'll be in for the next one.

Again, not sure, could start I'm not ruling it out, but in my opinion I think that's what will happen.

has Lewis played in the B team and if so how has he fared?

wWo will stand in for Romeo?  The Telegraph says Elynosi (spelling?)  Not my choice at all!

The replacement for Romeu is more likely to be Diallo, rather than Elyounoussi.

Imagine if we get something today 😄 If by some miracle we manage to get a draw it'll probably come via a last minute Arsenal equaliser just to leave us all pissed off.

Which of course is exactly what happened in this fixture 2 years ago

Feels like it has happened a few times there, the bastards.

Yeah, the relegation season it definitely happened as well

[NewYorkSaint]

Good team in the circumstances....   C'mon Saints. May the force be with you.

Would rather Jack and Lyanco at the back but aside from that it’s an ok line up

Their bench looks stronger than the starting eleven

[Scully]

It's alright but our midfield always looks worse without Romeu in there breaking things up. Really hoping JWP has an amazing game today

[LuckyNumber7]

Damnit, thought Bednarek was out? Would much prefer Lyanco in there.

Other than that it's a decent team, still not expecting us to get anything though.

[Pamplemousse]

Just hope we'll be a bit more competitive than against Liverpool...

I missed it but what happened to Adams?

Slight muscle injury in training I think.

[Miltonaggro]

Saints lucky to be just three nil down at half time with Lewis looking shell-shocked.  Willy comes on and plays a blinder whilst Adams, Armstrong, and Broja pull it back to 3-3.  Ref sticks on six minutes of injury time and in minute ninety-five awards the Arse a penalty, which Willy duly saves.  Kicking the ball up field in triumph, it hits goal hanging Redmondo on the back of the nut and loops into the Arsenal goal.  Something like that, got to be worth putting a tenner on.

Ah nuts! Thanks. 

Hopefully his muscles aren't like Stu's and he'll be back soon.

MLG would like a word with you. 

[davefizzy14]

Happy with the line up today - glad to see Jack back in and Willy hopefully has an absolute worldie in goal COYR

Errrr, have you seen the lineup today?

Awww bless...

[ButtikonSaint]

Last two games have been more than frustrating... RH and the team owe us a blinder... so I'll take a mad 6-7 win with a Longy last minute 3 inch tap-in

[CB Fry]

Shame about Adams as we will miss a bit of front line defensive discipline.

No issues with the available team selected but I think we will lose.

Suspended 

[OttawaSaint]

Keystone cops already from Diallo and Bednarek.

[BotleySaint]

Good solid first touches there. Very weak.

[Chez]

bad/nervy start by Diallo

[OttawaSaint]

Early yellow for a dirty challenge by the Arse.

[OttawaSaint]

Jesus, not much room out there. Both teams pressing.

[OttawaSaint]

Sloppy from both sides so far. 

[adrian lord]

Bloke on Sky said Arse should have had a pen in first 3 mins. 

[OttawaSaint]

Good shot AA.

[Sheaf Saint]

Needed a better shot than that but Arse left him plenty of room there.

Nonsense.

[Jonnyboy]

Lucky for Arsenal our strikers need 10+ chances before they put one away. 

[LiberalCommunist]

Keep this up, please. Need to forget last weekend. 

This looks very positive. 

[Chez]

Hoped for a little more from Amstrong there. Decent chance to really strike one. Hit the target, but relatively comfortable.

[doc oli]

Started well. Shock. 

[Sheaf Saint]

Decent enough effort from Arma but not going to beat Ramsdale at the near post.
