I think there's a couple of problems with Kieran tierney
1-obviously his injury record
2- his style of play
Does anyone think a year in Spain has improved his technical ability and is more suited to the style of play which Mikel wants to play.
{Ed014's Note - Mikel has included him in his Champions League squad.
I’ve not seen anything of him since he left so no idea if he’s progressed at all mate.

I we that Ed, has to be a strong reason for his inclusion
Very interesting.
{Ed014's Note - yes mate, wasn’t expecting it but think he’s back from injury after the international break.

I`m worried we don`t have enough cover at left back! COYG.

I’m more worried about LM Sussex
Let’s just ride these few injuries and we’ll be grand.
{Ed014's Note - we have Calafiori, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Timber, Tomiyasu and Tierney who can play left back so SUSSEX must be taking the mick! ?

I was Ed014, it’s how Chelski must feel in all positions. It’s the midfield that is strong ordinarily but a concern for Spuds.
If Odegaard and Partey fit we start with them plus one more maybe Zinchenko or Jorginho. Maybe with a pretty much full strength squad we have a go this time at C£ty. Always remember one win one loss better than two draws.
Also is the Belgian manager okay - they must have some squad to leave Leo out.
Agreed Mal and the C£ty game isn`t a title decider. Hope your much better half doing good Ed014 COYG
On Partey I know some don`t rate him at all and he can look he`s lazy but I rate him as a player and he can pick a pass. Not our best but certainly not thieving a living. Stays fit a great option.
{Ed014's Note - haha I thought so!
That’s why I think maybe Timber might slot into midfield and Calafiori into LB. I think we’ll have enough what ever we do.
Be interesting to see what impact if any that Sterling may make.
Has Trossard been left out of their squad?
She’s doing fine thanks mate, taking her off to Prague later in the month for her birthday.
I’ve always liked Partey and think he takes a few games to get up to speed.
He played 90 for Ghana yesterday so getting fitter all the time.

Tross left out - check out the arsenal.com website footage of training - Tross and Sterling looking sharp in particular. Timber a good shout in midfield I`m getting more confident by the hour! Enjoy Prague COYG.
{Ed014's Note - that’s an odd one and I always looks at the training vids and Sterling was looking very sharp. It didn’t occur to me that Trossard being there has meant he was left out of the squad.
Tedesco as well and surprised he doesn’t like Trossard.
And thanks mate, hopefully we will.
