Gabriel Jesus took part in training today.
Tierney, Trossard and Nketiah all absent.
I don't understand this Tierney again o.... is he injured or he just didn't come to training.

I was hoping Tierney would be available to get some good minutes during these run of games. I understand he is frustrated at his lack of minutes and may leave during the summer. It’s a tough situation for him because Zinny is a better fit for Arteta’s tactics and style of play.

If GJ took part in full training with the first team squad, then I'll expect him to be ready for weekend match at least

Arteta said they won't rush him back. He took part in contact training today though but full integration will be after international break.

If he want to leave, he can leave. Nelson didn't make the matchday squad for that Everton match but he was the one who gave us the winner in our last match.

Looking at Zinchencko and remembering Kolasinac the mechanic used to play left back for us …. Chai! 😩….. water nearly run commot my eyes

He deserves starting minutes but I don't think it will be with Arsenal because Zinny is Arteta's joker and perfect for how he wants to play. It speaks to the quality in the depth chart for that position. Tavares is scoring and doing well offensively for Marseille but he is flopping defensively and isn't a good fit for how Arteta sets up his team. We would have to invest in a backup LB going into next season.

Yea...I trust Arteta to fill the void if Tierney eventually leaves.

Omo see rough play, arteta should warn them oo
Partey dan fight gidigbo from kekere to think jesus was having advantage before

With the injuries to both Nketiah and Trossard, I think GJ might be rushed back especially with this full training .

Make we see how today and weekend go be sha.

Our front three today will likely be Martinelli, Nelson and Saka. Jesus will come in as sub.
Turner
Gabriel (Arteta may not give Kiwi his full debut at this stage of the competition)
Tomiyasu (Zinchenko might play a part)
White
Holding
Jorginho
Xhaka
Vieira

Lol, if GJ comes in as a sub it definitely means he's over rushed back. I for one would really don't want him to play today, hopefully it'll be Sunday (likely as a sub).

The Front 3 like you said it's okay. ESR can come in and give Saka a breather (Nelson will take over his wing while ESR will play left).

Na just Martinelli go suffer am. I just hope he won't be fatigued cos it definitely showed deep in the 2nd half against Bournemouth

Finally the beast is back. Am sure of winning Sporting CP today...

Martinelli was once labelled an 'animal' by one of his teammates. He will be fine sha..

Abi...
I believe he'll be fine too

Only few things in life gladden my heart more than watching Spuds lose and their fans in misery, pain and anguish! Listening to their fans boo them yesterday as they lost the round to my AC Milan was blissful. When the camera zoomed into the fans and some of them were in tears..OOOOOO LORD!!!!! I was grinning!

Arteta should allow Nelson and Tierney get minutes. Infact they should work on Tierney to a good level. I miss his left footed shots at goal. The exact spot Nelson stood is just where Tierney used to stay and volley hot shots at goal. We need to get used to resting key players. I don't want a time that what happened to GJ becomes the norm to 4 or 5 key players when we are back to UCL football. We need look ahead.


Give these guys minutes. It's more beneficial to everyone than detrimental.

Ah Arteta no dey joke with cup . See lineup na

Like I said in my post after we were matched up against Lisbon, I watched them against Portimonense and played highlights of their last 3 games before Portimonense. Trincao (Remember him at Wolves?)and Paulinho are their attacking threats with the former being their most creative force. They play a lot of unexpected crosses from different angles into the box and try to catch you unawares. They play a back 3 and push fast on the counter. We have the quality to dominate them and keep them back but we have to be wary of their abilities to find that open player behind our defenders when they counter.

I love the lineup, good to see Nelson/ Kiwor get starts while Partey/ Gabu get some needed rest on the bench....But na that Turner own dey do me somehow. Turner has not impressed me and is mistake prone. I hope Saliba/ White/ Zinny can show good leadership from that position, otherwise Turner fit sabotage us. I also hope to see a better performance from Vieira, man was poor over the weekend.

Holding is done!

Arteta is obviously taking the cup serious going by his lineup

Leno don move on, his club is ranked 7th and doing well in the EPL.

Corner kick Arsenal.

I am paying close attention to Kiwor

Viera never just ready to play first team . He just dey give Pepe vibes here and there

This is an organized Sporting side and playing to some of my observations.
