Is it just me that’s full of dread with zero faith in an injury hit squad, that recently lost to West Ham, Forest, Bournemouth, and couldn’t beat Burnely?!!
I think that's all fair .
Then you look at what's changed.
That lot look a bit tense. As though stuck between 2 stools.
They will also find it hard to shake yesterday completely out of the system, so Arteta will need to balance his messaging to his players. As of course will Tudor.
Then our players. Something to prove, a new manager to impress, an opportunity to help and hinder.
I'm not suddenly thinking we will win, but I just think we will give a better account of ourselves, and we have 1 or 2 players who might also be back in the fray.
And of course, the results of all the weekend games will come before the match starts, which will create added tension or a sense of ease.
