Exclusive from

@johncrossmirror

:

Thomas Partey suffered a knock against Brentford and is being assessed but Arsenal hope he will be fit to face Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Where's that dumb fuck hab who simply had to argue that we had no other choice than to start Partey RB against Brentford. This fucking fanbase I swear

Whiny Marko at it again.

He literally had to choose between Timber and Partey. Your stupid idea of putting in a kid in the starting XI who isn't even PL level yet is what is funny.

Even if he misses Wednesday, it won't matter. We need to get the job done regardless. We are 3 nil up.

You just love to whine don't you. Whine, whine whine.

Now is the 18 year old really not ready or is the manager so piss shit bad at rotating his squad?

The kid isn't ready. He looked flustered and out of his depth at times against Bolton FFS. And he played because it was Bolton in the league cup.

Nah, Nope, No, Arteta could have played MLS on that side, Zinc on that side or even Martinelli in a pinch. He had options, but reverted to form and f'd up.

If somehow Partey can't play, and AFC somehow do not score a goal, and ship 4, it will be down to the coach mate-full stop!

MLS was also in a red zone. He has been playing non stop. Including the 2 England games which he played 90 minutes in. I didn't think he should have even got on to the pitch. Zinchenko was used to rest Odegaard.

Dont be too confident with 3 up. Madrid are capable

I am confident in us to see it out, Partey or no Partey. We have Rice, Merino and Zinchenko to choose from in midfield at the very least.

The mission is clear score a goal or concede 2 or less.

That is my point. Not that Madrid aren't capable.

Without Partey in the middle that is a huge ask!

It isn't a huge ask. We are 3 nil up. We don't need to be expressive. Partey is good at breaking lines to get our attackers in good spaces. We can play a different game with Merino at CM and Rice at #6. Close off the spaces and try to counter. There will be no excuses not to ho through, even without him.

they are but we are more than capable of conceding less than 3 goals against every team. just be calm, if for any reason mbappe or vini get through in the first half donтАЩt foul them and go down to 10

stupid things aside we should be fine
