Notice Arteta started his strongest team available again today, none of that resting players crap, they have Bayen on Wednesday and us on Sunday

Probably because they aren't intending to have half the squad in January's shop window ...

Kind of hoping that because Richarlison is such a bellend, he and Saliba can get into it a bit and maybe get Saliba sent off. Now that would make next week interesting.

Maybe Rice 2!

Hedge your bets with the bigger bell end Romero LOL

If it wasn't for the fact that we get an easy 3 points from them every season, Tottenham may as well just call it a day as a football club. They'll never be able to move on from their embarrassments so what is the point anymore?

They were delighted with Ange at first then it all goes wrong . Same with Frank for a few games and then ' its happened again" ! 😂

Although I have been critical of Maresca's choices and selections, Arteta has rested Rice this season too when they played Forest. Tottenham is a different magnitude of game. Caicedo played 90 mins in both games whilst Rice didn't. Also we had a game on Saturday at 12.30pm which is much less recovery time. Arsenal played Sunday. Big difference. If Caicedo got injured, then fans would be questioning what is point of bringing likes of Santos back if we don't play him. We have a lot of key games coming up week in, week out. Players are not robots.

Arsenal are in a good position in the UCL, that losing to Bayern they still should be ok. The game against us is a lot more important for them. I know some of their fans would prefer players are rested against Bayern.

We can only hope it backfires and they run out of legs in the run in.

Damage may well be done and the cushion to big though. We are second behind them right now, despite losing to Brighton and Sunderland at home and throwing away points to United and Brentford, all average to poor teams.

If we lose next Sunday Arsenal are top by 9 points already. that is massive for such a small amount of the season gone.

I have said before, as an honest Chelsea fan, I don't see us as title contenders. When we win, I am more happy that we are cementing our position as top 4 as opposed to being realistic contenders. I reckon by end of season, Arsenal will be way clear of us. Still got to go to the likes of Arsenal, City, Liverpool, Newcastle, Villa. All these games we lost last season and do I realistically see us winning most of those games? I don't. If we had had some of those fixtures already, I would have been like we actually have a shot, but I am sure in these games we will drop points.

Arsenal demolished Spurs and that is baring in mind no Gyokeres, Odegaard, Havertz, Gabriel in the squad. Yeah, I don't see us competing with them. No shame in that too. Their signings were statement of intent.

If we can get Jackson back in January somehow, then it's all set up for us to cruise to the title.

Its crazy how we fumbled 11 points versus Brentford, Man Utd, Sunderland and Brighton this seasonal due to tactical and errors in discipline. We should bloody well be top of the league. That would've at least put pressure on Arsenal.

Mind you, they are miles ahead of us. They have a clear style of play and its devastating.

I kind of expect to fumble the odd game here and there, but Brentford, Sunderland and Brighton should have been wins. We never beat United at Old Trafford, so I don't expect anything from that fixture anymore.
