Arsenal XI vs. Shakhtar Donetsk: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Partey, Trossard; Jesus, Martinelli, Havertz.

Arsenal subs: Neto, Setford, Robinson, Monlouis, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Lewis-Skelly, Jorginho, Nwaneri, Merino, Sterling, Butler-Oyedeji.

Jesus finally on the wing, and we've ditched that anti-football midfield. Hopefully we can wrap this up quickly and get the likes of Nwaneri and Sterling on.

Saka not even on the bench is concerning, that Liverpool starting XI is going to hit like a freight train at this rate.

Need to take advantage of this dominance. Worried we're going to peter out again.

 

[The_One]

Lol that was lucky

 

[Nate75]

Not much going on in the Villa game.

Teams look evenly matched.

Madrid 2-0 down is a bit of a suprise.

Madrid 2-0 down is a bit of a suprise.

Their defence isnt as strong as it has been previous seasons, you can see why they Saliba links have started up.

Someone really needs to have a word with Brazil about how its people are naming kids. Kevin's barely acceptable in England any more, let alone there!

 

[Nate75]

Totally different Madrid in the second half

Aye just taken a look and they do all look to be getting on a bit. Focused on their attack rather than rest of the pitch. Early days yet but they lost to Lille in the previous league format game so they're not unbeatable. 2-2 now though.

 

[CliffyG]

Another injury at the back. Hopefully just a precaution to take him off.

 

[CliffyG]

Trossard misses a penalty. Making really hard work of this.

Edit
Sterling absolutely useless again. Can't pass and just runs into people.

 

[Nate75]

Vini Junior literally just ran the length of the pitch and smashed it home.

Breathtaking goal

 

[Junglist]

I've enjoyed the Real game. Saying a game of two halves would be an understatement

 

[Nate75]

5 -2 lol

 

[Junglist]

He's alright isn't he. lol.

 

[Robbo]

Vini Jr, oof, what a player.

 

[Shamikebab]

Classic Dortmund, you're always guaranteed goals when they're playing!

 

[C Kent]

Just seen the Vini Jr goal where he ran 3/4 of the length of the pitch. Nice goal and all, by my god that's some horrific defending and goal keeping.

 

[fez]

Imagine spending the money RM are spending on Mbappe when you already have a better player for that position in Vini Jr.
