USA - October 27 - 12:45pm @ PSV Eindhoven (Europa League) - Paramount+ CAN - October 27 - 12:45pm @ PSV Eindhoven (Europa League) -DAZN Quick turnaround with the match day threads just as its a quick turnaround with our matches. Also by putting this up means it takes my mind off the utter diabolical mess that was our match at Southampton. Hoping for many many rotations. We were absolutely knackered by the end of that second half, and plenty of depth players who came on and didn't really set the world on fire. Doesn't seem like we have any injuries, just tired legs from too many matches in too short a window of time. Time to rotate, give guys like Nketiah and Vieira full games rather than 15 minute cameos. Win, and we seal top spot and can play kids for the last two group games knowing they are absolutely meaningless and we can rest starters for important league matches. 1-0 win to the Arsenal! Going to tip Marquinhos to score in a snatch and grab.
Need to rest Jesus, MO, Partey and probably one of Martinelli/Saka. Give Eddie, Marquinhos, Fabio, Sambi & Tierney a start.
no first-teamers in this match, thank you! Play only B teamers and youth. Maybe Cedric Soares can take a break from his coaching badges and actually start this match.
seriously. i mean, if the B teamers can't pull off a draw vs PSV then they need to STFU about playing time ever again.
oh, that's interesting. they're thinking colour conflicts might mean we'll need to be wearing our away shirt with home shorts. https://museumofjerseys.com/2022/10/25/midweek-mashup-arsenal-2022/
not a good look... Arsenal will wear a mash-up of their home kit & away kit, when they face PSV away on Thursday, to avoid a kit clash. [@museumofjerseys] #afc pic.twitter.com/9eypGZn7Qh— afcstuff (@afcstuff) October 25, 2022
I don’t think Adidas ever intended the home shorts be worn with the away kit - as was noted above, that seems to be based on kits’ being too similar to PSV. If Adidas had more time, perhaps they could have made a charcoal/gray short that’s the same color the stripes on the away kit. That would also look pretty cool, but in general, I do really prefer the all-black away kit as whole.
I think we only need a draw not a win to clinch top spot and direct to R16, no? Also, as per usual this match is on TUDN in USA en espanol.
I feel like something like this happened to us more recently in European competition. Like within the last 10 years. Definitely a tradition.
Or that horrible all red kit we’ve had to wear a few times. Very bad idea. (and yes I know that’s the opposite concoction to what we’re talking about)
3rd kit is pink. PSV is red and white. Like us. Except they wear black shorts. Honestly, it's all ADIDAS ' fault.
I still think we really lost the title in 04 because we wore blue as away kits, those things are our death colors
People asking how we wore black shorts against Southampton on the weekend who also wear black shorts but we have to wear our home shorts against PSV, its due to UEFA rules. EPL allows shorts clashes as long as the shirts and socks are different. UEFA does not.
Why not use the pink 3rd? It is pale enough pink that it should be different enough from their home red/white stripe and would be black vs pale pink shorts.
according to this chart, (if they are correct) the pink 3rd is with blue shorts which would clash with their black shorts. there is apparently a 5th with pink shirts/pink shorts.
according to mcnicholas, it'll be grey shorts. 1585191488748912640 is not a valid tweet id we have grey shorts?
Wonder if they just have them for one off matches like the grey socks we wore against United, and they are a one time thing like the time we wore the home kit and red shorts against WBA. Or this time against Fener... + We should bring back the "get the red out" kit, one so that its not stuck as a kit we have only lost in, and also because its all white so it won't clash.
I recall seeing pics of the darker shorts but I swear we were head to toe pink when we wore the 3rds.
