    Look I don’t really expect anything other than a convincing win for Arsenal but at least allow me the chance to dream, no matter how deluded it is!!

    David Luiz injured for Arsenal. There goes Dundalk's best chance of an Arsenal slip-up on Thursday :P

    I think if they can keep them down to a four goal margin, that's a decent enough result. ('Them' being Arsenal - not Dundalk).

    Arsenal have spent the last 10 yrs being the ultimate flat track bullies, but predictably fall assunder when their weak mindset is exposed.
    This game could be a cricket score, unless dundalk show bravery to attack whenever possible.
    If I was the dundalk coach I personally wouldn't play shields as he will get filleted against arsenal, but I'm sure the dundalk fans will disagree.

    Agreed. However, Shields is likely their best DM/CM, though some would say Slogett. Alot of recruitment needed next year if they are to be near a group stage again. All that being said, it should be easy street for Arsenal tonight. You never know though, as you've alluded to, Arsenal are famously crap at putting small teams away. The 3-3 vs Osterunds (sp?) a few years back being a good example.

    This game is likely to be high scoring no matter what.

    I expect Filipino may opt for both Shields and Sloggett. It seems to be his preference

    At minimum I hope the lads learn from playing at this level, I hope also that a hammering wont damage confidence in general terms for Sunday. A big maybe is that they will play with such free abandon that they give a good account of themselves. Having said that even Barcelona have shipped cricket scores of recent....

    Arsenal as expected playing about as weak a team as possible -

    Runarsson
    Cedric
    Mustafi
    Kolasinac
    Maitland-Niles
    Willock
    Elneny
    Xhaka
    Pepe
    Nketiah
    Nelson

    Subs - Leon, Hein, Bellerin, Gabriel, Tierney, Ceballos, Partey, William, Saka, Aubameyang, Lacazette, Balogun

    Respectable start for Dundalk midway through the first half.

    Rogers with a bit of a brain fart passing a goal kick inside his six-yard box with two Arsenal players lurking, but other than that, Arsenal haven't created much yet.

    Mountney with a couple of bad unforced errors there. Hoofed a cross over the endline unoppossed and miscontrolled a ball out of play. McEleney and Murray looking comfortable on the ball. Shields less so.

    They are and they aren't - it's very Arsenaly in that they've lots of play around the box, but they haven't really created any proper openings yet.

    Dundalk probably delighted to get to 30 minutes fairly intact tbh.

    Pity they couldn't hold on until HT, even that would have been a boost.

    And another now, giving the ball away and getting punished again.

    True. Brian Kerr with an honest analysis of the first half. It was probably a bit silly that Gartland took the quick free instead of slowing the game down.
    Still tho 42% possession is a lot higher than I'd have predicted. Fair play!
