[Albion] So, is Moises suspended for Arsenal?

[drew]

Moises picked up his 5th booking so guessing he is suspended for Arsenal which means we play them without both Moises and Alexis.

Going to be a tough gig.

 

[Swansman]

Yup... bit of a free hit or whatever you call it.

Good chance for Billy though, unless RDZ goes with an extra defender.

 

[Guy Fawkes]

Can we not go by stats on the Amazon caption they put up on screen after he was booked, saying it was his first yellow of the season??

 

[West Upper Seagull]

Just discovered that too that Moises will be suspended for the Arsenal game which I fear really dents our chances of getting a result in that game now - wonder if the club are tempted to give Ale Mac a call and get him back for this one, we really need him !

He's been partying for about 10 days and travelling around in Argentina and stuff. Don't think he would be all that useful right now.

He’s been busy banging his Mrs (according to his insta) so reckon he’s been maintaining his stamina ! I say get him back for training on Wednesday and reckon he’ll be fine !

As folk say, Arsenal is a free hit. I'd be okay with a respectable defeat. 13/15 wins for them so far.

 

[The Fits]

Under Potter we'd probably win this with a defender on the wing and March moving into the enforcer role. Suspect under RDZ it'll be about 3-5. As others have said, total free hit.

Let's give us some credit here. We're actually a decent team and have the depth to cover for Moises.

I certainly don't think the players will have a defeatist mindset and will believe, as I do that we can get something from the game

 

[Munchkin]

Hopefully Welbeck back, allowing Trossard to play slightly deeper and a midfield 3 of himself, Gross and Lallana

We are a very decent team but not convinced we have cover for Moises, Alexis, Moder and Mwepu to take on the league leaders. It will be a big ask for Gilmour.

Yes, it's also the fact that the bench is going to be very sparse in Midfield, as Moran already on the bench, so another U21 will have to come onto the bench (Spong?). I wonder if he will go 3 at the back against Arsenal to make up for the lack of a defensive midfielder.

 

[dazzer6666]

Sanchez
Veltman Dunk Colwill
Groß Gilmour Lallana Estupiñan
March Trossard Mitoma

Free hit, still plenty there to cause arsenal a few issues.

Agree. Too many negative defeatists on here. I believe we can get a result and I am sure the players do as well.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Yes to the OP …I‘ll go with hope that we’ll be competitive

 

[Machiavelli]

Hopefully Welbeck back, allowing Trossard to play slightly deeper and a midfield 3 of himself, Gross and Lallana

Hmmm, a midfield of Gross, Lallana and Trossard lacks a bit of bite and speed at the best of times. Against the team seven points clear at the top of the table, it'd be asking for trouble.

Quite relaxed about it to be honest, the formation is so interchangeable under RDZ, the likes of Mitoma and March tuck in when needed. Thought Gross and Lallana were outstanding yesterday.
