Could go anyway this game. I would be telling the Arsenal players to go out and make Man city win the league rather than us giving it to them, which yes they already did but i would not want to be giving it to them without them having to kick a ball for two games.

Agreed, you could argue that it has relieved the pressure on Arsenal. But whatever we have nothing to fear and as fans we have to give it everything on Saturday.
No need for anything dramatic from the team, none of this take it to them, play our usual game, hit on the counter and try to sneak a point is whats needed.

If we do need another point to be safe, I'd look for it against Palace in a game that is truly meaningless to them, rather than against the 2nd best team in the Premiership coming off an embarrassing loss.

Said this on the prem league thread but would cooper at home set us up to get a nil-nil draw? (Depending on tonight’s result of course)

I don't think we could risk playing for a draw. Our strength is not holding out but attacking on the break and going for it.

Food for Thought.................
Arsenal haven't won at the WFCG since 2016.
The last two visits they have made here, they have gone home beaten, battered and totally demoralised!!

I can't see at all how Arsenal will be relishing this game.
I really think we have a great opportunity here.
Just hope we grab it with both hands.

We need to get Yates in full Yatesy mode and disrupt them in the middle. Taiwo needs to be physical and bully their defenders. Then we need some luck.

I'm wondering if Cooper is going to stick or twist with Johnson.
