Norwich City vs Arsenal (away) Saturday 11th September.

Early relegation 6 pointer, that could well cost Arteta his job!

Team? No idea! Only snippet I did see was Giannoulis missed a match with Greece midweek. Was good to see lots of our players getting some minutes in the internationals, Hanley and Gilmour came in for big praise for Scotland, as did Omabamidele and Idah for Ireland. Tzolis came on as a sub and contributed an assist almost immediately.

Giannoulis injured neck apparently.

Giannoulis injured neck apparently.

The old ” slight injury means he can’t play but is ok for the bench “routine

 

[OldRobert]

I'd rather he started than Master Manure.

Christoph Zimmermann (ankle) and Dimitris Giannoulis (back and neck) are both out for this weekend.

Josh Sargent hasn't been back long. He's struggled for sleep and complaining of pain in his hamstring. 'We will see.'

Kenny McLean has had some trouble with his knee, hence his early return to Colney. He has since completed individual training and rehab. He looks to be available this weekend, Farke says.

Mathias Normann and Ozan Kabak are both available to play tomorrow.

Farke highlighting that Milot Rashica and Billy Gilmour have both had a lot of load during the international break. He points out that he will have to manage that and the decisions are difficult because they cannot overload the players.

Farke is looking forward to next week and getting a full week to work with the players. This weekend will be about pragmatism, Farke says.

 

[OldRobert]

Shame about Giannoulis, would definitely have preferred him to start. Hope to see both Normann and Kabak as starters at least

 

[Fenway Frank]

Can’t see Kabak coming straight into the team, Normann probably will though

 

[morty]

Lucky pants deployed and heading for the train soon.

My prediction 2-2.

Pants deployed you say?

[morty]

Oh well, could be worse. Could have lost 5-2 to Bolton...

 

[morty]

Shit ground, no fans...

 

[Fenway Frank]

How was it Morty ? I’ve only seen the motd highlights.

We were fine, very decent in patches, probably worth a point. The season starts on Saturday. Starting to have concerns about Pukki, frankly...

 

[OldRobert]

Admittedly from a stream but Krul's distribution didn't look too brilliant.

Can't say I noticed it, to be honest. It was poor in the Man City game, I agree.
