That's a quality delivery from Rice.

Yet to see Alexander-Arnold in the game.

Great flick from Diaz to set up Van Dijk.

As shite as we've been, and also for Man Utd, I did not expect to only be one place behind them by the start of Nov

Superb from Saka. Not sure how Neville is trying to pin the blame on Van Dijk though.

Very soft on Nkunku if that is given.

Saka and Timber start for Arsenal. Be interesting to see how long they last...

Palace leading 2-0 against Spurs. Not watching the match but dare I say Nketiah not starting and Mateta being back in has made a difference...

Yeah, it was a problem we had last season with Maresca, too, at times. I always find it staggering how a centre-forward can almost stroll up to the 6 yard box unmarked to tap in. I can understand, to an extent, if it was a midfielder making a late run. But Isak is their only forward and you almost expect him to be in that area, so why isn't a defender picking him up and taking responsibility for him?

This league is fucking bonkers

That ball from Palmer for the opening goal was sublime.

So sorry to hear that. How are you holding up now? If you ever need to chat just say.

4-0. Yamal and Raphinha add to the goals. Flick has them playing some great football.

Great shout this. Nice.

Lewandowski double gives Barca 2-0 lead.

Flurry of late goals. Ipswich, Wolves, Brentford, Bournemouth all scoring in stoppage time.

0-0 in both my games

First half decent. Second half everything but. That just seems how we'll go about things this season under Cooper. Silly mistakes for their goals and gifted two of them. Relegation standard football in the 2nd half. Not that they didn't deserve to win either, but it's infuriating when you don't make teams work hard for their goals and just offer it up on a plate.

@Azeem - final reminder!!

As for our game, I'm weirdly not as nervous (or perhaps excited) as I have been for this game in previous years. Not to say it still won't hurt if we lose as Forest have always held some odd arrogance about them. But perhaps it's just a sign of the times of our football under Cooper that it's not very pleasing on the eye unless he chooses the best wingers in the team from the start. Fatawu has surely done enough from the start, and I've said countless times Ayew is the exact kind of player you bring on towards the end of the game to be the defensive forward on the right wing. Fatawu and Mavididi should start, with Buonanotte in the middle behind Vardy. It's a quartet that is proving to be successful if the last two games are anything to go by. Be good to continue the good form and winning streak. If only just to create a bigger gap between us and the bottom 3, let alone it being against Forest.

Yep, that's some massively key players out for Arsenal. Even having 1 or 2 of those out is impactful, but Liverpool are surely big favourites for this game now.
