If City get a goal back the Arsenal response should be interesting. It'z a free ride for them so far

haha. Well it's yet another opportunity  that presents itself this weekend. At least 1 of Arsenal and City are going to drop points and Leicester face a tricky trip to Goodison. If I'm being honest, the way things are going literally nothing would surprise me. It's just sheer hope that I'm clinging onto these days. Not much else |

Thought we'd pull something out of the fire today after Tuesday night. If we can't do it with a relatively fit squad can hardly expect to do it with a depleted squad.

Nope not for me. It's been well documented the struggles of teams in the EPL with the Thursday to Sunday/Monday transition especially with top teams like ourselves who didn't even start off in the competition.
Those teams used to playing in it right from the off or regularly dropping into it from the UCL will have some chance of acclimatizing to it.
Even less interested this season with the golden opportunity that has so far been presented to us in the League. We only need to see the injury crisis we got now. Shit can happen
If we started off in the competition from the beginning then maybe as we'd have been able to see the progress along the early stages. It wasn't our primary target at the start of European competition.
Lets face it if we can't claim either 1st or 2nd spot after 6 games in a group that contained CSKA, PSV & Wolfsburg then I certainly don't fancy us to do the business in the Europa League.
So I wouldn't be tempted to send out the first team and go all for it particularly if it's too the detriment to our league performances.
Should be used to blood the youngsters and players coming back from injuries or those getting lack of game time and with a point to prove. Not much in it for me after that

Never good to see the squad getting hit by so many injuries but it might finally force van Gaal's hand in terms of our approach to the game.
Even with this many out I don't think we can play any worse than we have, with at times, a near fully fit squad.
Smalling will be definitely be the biggest loss as him, Blind and DDG have been ever constants throughout the season while in a lot of the other positions van Gaal has shuffled the pack.
Centre field is where the only question marks lie for the weekend and who's available and who gets the nod then.
Our attack on the other hand hasn't been hit too much and that's what it is going to all come down to again on Saturday evening.
We had quite a few injuries going into the Wolfsburg game and yet we got a performance that we've been crying out for so often this season. So despite the injuries there's clear and obvious signs there but all that comes down to the approach on the field.
Dropped points against Leicester and West Ham especially has now put the pressure on us in this game. We can't keep relying on other teams dropping points to bail us out. Now's the time to take the initiative or face the pressure of must win games down the road and come up short just like Wolfsburg the other night.
Pander around and play the way we did in a lot of games before Wolfsburg then we're probably looking at more dropped points
Injuries can't be used as an excuse against a side like Bournemouth. There should be enough going out on that pitch Saturday evening to get the 3 points.
Same as in Germany Tuesday night please is all we ask for and this time just hold our composure at the back and take any sting out of the game if we do score. Common sense stuff really
Will give us a good game but are they on a par with Wolfsburg (who we could have beaten)? I wouldn't have thought so.
