That is good news, it's frustrating that Cala and Jorgi did not train today. It shocking how much of the season Cala has missed due to injuries, we were discussing this potential issue here last summer, but Arsenal decided to go ahead with purchase anyways.
Assuming we advance to the semis and the тАШneedтАЩ arises again do you play Partey at RB vs Ipswich away on the 20th nine days before first leg vs PSG?
And if he hadn't played at RB, or at all, what's the worst that could have happened? A loss by a goal or two to Brentford? A single point dropped on the table? The end of the world I assume.
Meanwhile, one of our most important players that has played way more football this season than in his recent seasons and is in his 30s, was that close to getting injured and missing our most important game in almost 20 years. Fk me Hab, you were right!
I was right. You just complained about a whole bunch of nothing. A bunch of "if's" that didn't happen. Partey was fine. He didn't play against Everton the previous week.
And the fact that you think losing to Brentford at home didn't matter is all I need to know about your bad opinions. Every game matters. Some less than others. But it still does. You can rotate but you can't play random kids that aren't ready or players that can't do the job in those positions. The players that come in have to be of the required level to do it.
ItтАЩs extremely poor risk management and very, very naive. I could easily see fan sentiment turning against Arteta if Partey had been injured and unavailable for Madrid, and we lost the tie.
He didn't play the previous week. He rested him for the most important home game and we won 3 nil. He wouldn't have played him against Brentford either had Ben White been available.
The risk was play a fit partey or a struggling timber.
Or the option of another formation that didnтАЩt utilise either Partey or Timber? Possible or not ,I donтАЩt know ?If it was.It was an unnecessary risk lets face it.
This is the first argument that has been decent so far. A formation change might actually work. You would need to play Zinchenko LWB and may be Sterling as RWB to pull it off last saturday.
Partey and Ben White trained. The amount of people crying on here because Arteta was forced to play him at RB on Saturday was hilarious.
As you know by now Habesha,bedwetting is par for the course on here.
Starting Partey was a bad decision. I won't change my opinion on that.
Forced or not, if we're moving a DM to RB, surely we could have figured something out from the available players.
Hab is even the biggest moaner about Partey at RB and how we've suffered for it, now it turns out there is never another way?
Yes, our RBs were injured, so what? It's not like Partey is a RB either.
The Arteta outs think I'm supportive of every Arteta decision. Except I'm not. Another proof of that.

Mike likes him a lot. stalkerish
Cala makes Tierney look like an ironman

No, White is fit today. So he will play, like he would have against Brentford.
You dodged the question.
Well done.
IтАЩd play the tea lady at RB in the league before Partey in the run up to semis vs PSG.
Leave тАШ Doris тАШ out of this Tom.Shes busy either the packed lunches for Madrid.
Are you trying to start a riot Tom? Cough,cough.
I think that Partey should play RB against Ipswich if only for the benefit of stoking the stream action on here!
If that happened and he pulled a hemi this site would explode.
Meanwhile Habesha would claim a win stating we always needed a more durable Partey option.
'Pulling a hemi' sounds a bit rude!
And if he hadn't played at RB, or at all, what's the worst that could have happened? A loss by a goal or two to Brentford? A single point dropped on the table? The end of the world I assume.

Mikel is playing with fire.

Hmmm, so we're back to my suggestion about Sterling. Took you a few days.
Nah, you said play him at RB in a back 4.
