GW12 captains poll

Anyone going against EBH this weekend?

Voted Salah but changing now to Haaland.

I'm a Salah owner and I'm not rushing to pick him.

I didn't think he looked great tonight when he came on, and didn't have his best game last Sunday either. Salah has been a machine in terms of playing games & 90 mins every time. Maybe we're just seeing the first hints of tiredness as he gets a bit older.

The thing is, there isn't a wealth of other options this week.

Haaland is away to Chelsea who might be showing small signs of improving defensively.

Saka is flagged.

Nunez is unreliable as a captaincy choice.

Watkins is out of form.

Son is the early KO.

Mad to be Considering Gordon?

Is OOP Gordon better or worse than regular cutting inside Gordon?

Wilson might play yet but won't play 90. Gordon should play 90 though after being semi-rested midweek.

Salah at Anfield?

Count me in.

I’ve gone Salah so I’d advise anyone but him the way things are going for me this season.

currently on Son

but will probably end up on Salah

Green&Red

Currently on Saka. I think the narrative that Arsenal aren't flying in attack this year is ignoring the fact that in their last five games they have played city, newcastle & chelsea, the other two were Bournemouth and Sheffield which was a combined 9-0

Salah has been a bit meh lately, Haaland up against an improving Chelsea who play well against big teams....

So it looks like Saka maybe possibly for me...

Bottled and went for Salah - more of a sure thing at home and Newcastle struggling with a lot of injuries

Mr Crispy

Salah for me.

Thinking of going Mitoma!!

Salah this week and not even a 2nd thought to be honest.

If Saka was a lock to start, he'd be a decent shout followed by Watkins.

Only arsenal have conceded less goals away from home than Brentford with 4. Not exactly stats that inspire confidence that Liverpool will be scoring heavy?

4th on the goals conceded away form home I taught it was when looking it up. Still confident of a return either way.

they have second best record for goals conceded away from home

Had it on Salah but changed to Saka, it's a much better fixture and reckons he either starts or doesn't feature.

Flaneur OBrien

Went for watkins

crushproof

Kept it safe with Haaland, had been tempted with a punt on Diaby but chickened out.

on watkins

second time, he can't do any worse than v Luton I hope 😂

They've scored at least 3 goals every league home game

Big confidence in this thread ignoring the stats it seems.

A week where your captain could go off and big gains to be made, Watkins, Saka or even Haaland all nice picks.

Xander10

was all set to bring Bruno in and captain, but chickened out and went Salah

Yeah, Salah is definitely finished.

Without question he's slowing down.

I don't think anybody said either of those things.
