@steffen @Teewenz yeah, it made sense to rotate. I just wonder if they could have done it in an order that didn't expose us quite so early?

@admin I need a "maybe but I'm not ready to get my hopes up quite yet" option!

@Teewenz can't lie, I was pretty nervous at the end! Not sure we managed the changes that well - changing both fullbacks at the same time seemed to really unsettle us

@Teewenz @gunneraditya @Illdisposed @hente @ronsboy67 which is a big part as to why the performances in the first half of the season have been so good. I guess my nerves are around how sustainable that is - especially with a number of first choice players missing

@Illdisposed exactly! I'm convinced that not only are the wheels about to come off, but the entire bus is about to fall apart 🙈 I need some transfer talk to distract me haha

@Illdisposed oh I know this feeling! Surely we deserve some luck? But I'm so upset about the injuries in the women's team that I'm starting to expect similar issues in the men's team too

@Teewenz @hente yeah, my pessimistic side is still very much - it's not even been half a season yet. If we flop the second half, it's going to feel awful. But still, the opportunity is there and the team have looked quality and well coached

@Teewenz Yeah, I'm a little worried about up front. Maybe Saka and Martinelli will be ready though? I'd have been less nervous at the back if Tomiyasu was fit - but there thought of having to play Holding for the full game is concerning

I've finally decided to set up an account that can be purely dedicated to the arsenal. Let's see if it's to filter out the football or the other stuff 😹 #Arsenal

First question, how do we feel about the return of the premier league on boxing day? I feel a little apprehensive, which isn't helped by not being able to go to the match because of, you know, Christmas
