Amazing that the first name I look for on the team sheet (after Kane) is Davinson Sanchez. He has become so important to us in such a short period of time.

I think I get more nervous now than when we were inferior because there are higher expectations. I'm scarred by 5-2 in 2012/mind the gap.

I'm going to my first away NLD. A colleague at my firm who is Arsenal wants to meet for a beer after. Really don't want to whether we win or lose. He text saying "meet at the Tony Adams statue". Almost puked.

Not sure about that. If Sanchez was out for example , Davies could slot into a back three no probs.

Nervous. Excited. Anxious. Delirious.....and that is 3 hours before kick off.

Agree with @Coyboy , expectations are massive and whilst a loss won't stop a top 4 finish, I can't help but think if we have real title aspirations then we need to win these tough away fixtures against teams in the top 10....

Hugo’s the main one to look for on the team sheet for me. We need that solidity and trust the defence have in him.

Gazza had two brain fart moments where he wasn’t sure about coming out, hesitated and then came. Could and should have cost us against Palace we can’t afford anything like that today

Fkin nervous and the home fixture will be the same this season.

Optimistic our attacking threat will prevail but concerned about Dier who's looking leggy again, and Sissoko getting turned over and us getting quickly countered. I'd go Dembele, don't think Poch will though.

Our away record v the other big teams remains shocking, here's a chance for the boys to prove they don't have a mind problem- and send that lot back into turmoil. Come on.

In my opinion, we should approach the game in a similar manner to how we played against Liverpool. Hit them on the counter with pace and directness. An early goal would help to unsettle the crowd also.

Been pretty calm during the week but jitters are here now!

The expectation we are the favorites would make defeat even more stinging. We're not used to this as fans. We're used to expecting the worst at their place but hopefully the players rise up...

We're gonna rip them apart on the counter because their fans will be egging them on to push forward. COYS

I find it so difficult to enjoy this game, in fact I hate it. I cannot stand to see "happy gooners". Please God's of football. Smile on us today!:angelic:

Wolke up before 6:00 (east coast of US) ready for the match to start. Nervous / excited and will be pissed if lose. Think we play solid at the back and in the midfield early and put them to the sword the 2nd half.
