Arsenal pre match thread (H) 28 September Sky Sports

[Hansern]

Does the one tonight count as his 3rd?

He’s not out yet though

 

[Hansern]

The rumour seems to be Covid related and isolation while tested.

 

[gkmacca]

Two so far in his Liverpool career.

You mean you don't find all the games he's missed even slightly concerning? Playing every league game in a season isn't at all unusual for many keepers. I can't even remember Clemence, Grobbelaar, Dudek or Reina missing more than a match. I guess some of them did, but usually keepers only tend to get injured via contact. Becker seems to pick up muscle strains. That is quite unusual for a keeper.

He would be on attendance management in my place with a record like that.

No, not really. He's had that calf injury from the start of last season were he was out for 11 games and a hip injury were he missed 3 games.
He also just missed 1 game for Roma, and had 1 injury before that in Brazil. There are a lot of other players I'd be worried about or call injury prone before him.
Matip and Gomez comes to mind.

Just checked for fun, but Reina missed 9 games for us and 37 games so far in his career.

 

[the count]

According to RedmenTV he is out, but they have been the only source to rule him out. I have not found anything in the mainstream media

If you think that is the only source to rule him out then you aren't listening properly

Maddock said he's fit I think

 

[FoxForceFive]

Thiago & Allison are both fit.

Milner is ruled out though apparently.

He said they both weren't last night

We'll have to agree to differ. Comparing him with outfield players suggests you're just in a contrary mood.

 

[Halmeister]

It's Hansern, he's always uber positive. I'm jealous, to be honest.

 

[aquaman4]

Trent and Joe have to be more aware of the threat Aubameyang poses on the left side of Arsenal attack.

 

[aquaman4]

Twice now they have been bad against him.

 

[Squiggles]

Trent will do better than Williams managed, so that's something.

 

[Brizzle]

I’ve got this horrible feeling we’ll start with Fabinho, Milner & Gini in CM.

 

[MomoWASright]

Milner is out. Foxy posted that earlier.

 

[Farkmaster]

It would be a worry for sure. Especially calf injuries for a position that is all fast explosive movement. Klopp didn't even like him running to celebrate with salah last season.

 

[Hansern]

It's Hansern, he's always uber positive. I'm jealous, to be honest.

Its not being positive, its a question of what makes a player injury prone. Its a debate that will be still active in the pensioner section of SCM in 30 years.

[Fabio]

I said that an hour ago!

 

[Hansern]

I said that an hour ago!

Good news deserve a quiff 😉

 

[FoxForceFive]

That wasn't what I was told earlier.

David Maddock is defo a more reliable source though.

 

[mom]

Diego starts

may have misheard that on sky tho

 

[tombrown]

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Keita, Mane, Salah, Firmino.
Subs: Adrian, Milner, Jones, Minamino, Jota, Origi, Williams.

 

[Pesam]

Allison starts, Thiago doesn't.

 

[MomoWASright]

No Thiago on the bench. I’ll change my prediction to 9-0 win.

 

[The Nomad]

So milner isnt out then?

 

[tombrown]

Excellent. Luiz starts

 

[King Binny]

 

[jan]

David Luiz and Tierney at CB. Gabriel, Ceballos and Saka all benched. We're dickheads if we don't batter them
