Banana peel tonight but we need to rotate, leave some big guns are on the bench.

Raya

Tomi - Kiwior - Saliba - Zin

Jorg - Vieira - Partey

Reiss - Jesus - ESR

Think we need to see something close to this but might see Gabriel in the back line, Rice over Jorginho and Martinelli over ESR but some of these guys need minutes and if we can't for Luton, it's a long road ahead

While their recent results have tailed off, Luton won't be a push-over if a B-team is put out to face them......especially as 3 points for them (or even 1) is vital for their PL survival with Forest winning last night.

I might go home if that's our starting 11 >.< but if we must I'd go 3 at back with Partey back in his sweeper role to get the rust off:

Raya

Tomi - Saliba - Kiwior

- Partey

Jorg Zin

- ESR
Reiss - - Martinelli

Jesus

Vieira is just too lightweight imo to sit in midfield v Luton and even ESR is a push; more likely to be Rice or Ode to start to provide cover/ creativity, otherwise Jesus will drop deep and injure himself again.

Luton have been good value this season (neutral hat on) and wish them well, bar tonight obvs.

They gave us a hard time earlier in the season so am not expecting an easy match, especially with some squad rotation expected.

Looking forward to it though and hope we can maintain our unbeaten run.

As predicted quite a few changes, this is going to end up disjointed.

Pretty worried about this one. Luton aren’t to be taken lightly, despite their position

Nelson was lucky, but sure we'll take it.

Solid performance so far. COYG.

Some nice football being played, despite a tinge of rustiness.

Not a vintage performance but got the goals and job done without too much fuss.

Went to this one tonight, first game for my nearly 5 year old. As others said not a vintage performance but it is the type of game at this time of the season we should be rotating the squad and winning with the squad.

Also a continuance of my never seeing arsenal concede a goal when watching live so another bonus. Into double figures at least now

I have tried suggesting it to Arsenal! I should be getting a season ticket

Gunnersaurus is retiring though apparently so maybe they can give me a job too lol

Yeah happy with that. Feel like the subs could have come a bit earlier though.

Game 2 of 9 done and so far so good.

Delighted to see ESR start and do so well….like the rest of the team had a quieter second half….in his post match interview he said he was cramping in the second half but got 90 mins so all good. Love watching him play and hope he does enough if he gets game time to be retained and not sold this summer.

woohoo glad you made it beer

Yeah was almost nice to win dull, not sure Brighton (away) will give us that much space and put that little pressure on our goal especially with the risk taking at the back.

Yeah Eddie just hasn't built on that lethal promise he had at U21s. Shame really.

I'm going to go back on my Toney at Arsenal thought. I think the way he's been playing for Brentford would bring a lot to our front line and he seems to have matured again.

Give them Eddie and £30m + addons.
