Pace of Johnson in behind will be good against Arsenal, he got in behind a few times for Forest against them earlier this season.

If they have Trossard & Martinelli out I think we have a decent chance.

Don’t think Johnson has ever really played left in his entire career. He’s not much of a dribbler either so would be surprised if he has the ability to cut in and shoot effectively from there.
Has Kulusevski though?

This game has come very early in our development under Ange. Definitely wasn’t expecting us to be as good as quickly as we have been so that has raised expectations. Just want to see us continue to go for it and play with energy and ambition and see what comes. Want to win it so badly.

Im guessing we see Johnson as a more attacking threat who will get goals. We need our forward line to take their chances in this game.

Worth remembering that we're way ahead of schedule and a loss today isn't a huge setback if the performance is decent.

I feel confident that whatever the result, we'll be bold and go at them, which I think we all want to see.

Doubt Ange will throw the game with 15min left, unlike a certain former manager did at the Library.

And Arsenal do feel more vulnerable than they did this time last season. They're great going forward but that back line can be exposed - and has been already this season.

I don't think there's any question we'll be going for it. It's 100% what Ange is about.

I think we play our way and it will likely lead to us losing - and that's perfectly fine. Far better to lose playing the way that will lead to success than sitting back and hoping we don't get hurt. We are a work in progress.

COYS!

Why are we droping Solomon?
I really don't think it's about 'dropping' per se. Big Ange knows who can be useful against which opposition, especially the wide forwards and full backs are going to be the ones be rotated the most. I expect players playing under Ange to know everyone has a role to play in the team and not taking things too personally.

This whole season is the same for me. Play some exciting football and I'm happy. If we win 4-3 or lose 4-3, I don't particularly care right now.

We are going to need 3 goals today to get a result, imo.

Almost wonder if it would have been better to hold Johnson back to go at tired legs later.
