Multiple journalists have confirmed that Jason Tindall will take Friday’s press conference for Arsenal. The briefing is scheduled for 9 in the morning.
Head coach Eddie Howe remains in self-isolation at his hotel room but has designed each of this week’s sessions according to The Mail’s Craig Hope. Howe has also watched videos of the sessions and relayed updates to his backroom team.
Jason Tindall and Graeme Jones are leading the sessions though it is Tindall who has become the primary figure in Howe’s absence. The 44-year-old was on the touchline against Brentford and filled in for the post-match press duties.
After the match, Tindall revealed that Howe had a significant impact during the game. The Chronicle has published the following from the assistant head coach:
“During the game, there was a direct link between him and Stephen Purches and he had a live feed so we could communicate with him.
“At 3-2 down we had a decision to make and in dialogue with Ed, those subs we made were jointly done.
“But Ed has to take a lot of credit for that, he’s the manager and he makes the final call. Bringing on Ryan Fraser certainly made the difference for us and he played his part in the third goal for Maxi.”
There is still a remote chance Howe could make the trip to Arsenal. If he tests negative on Friday, that would clear him to take the match according to Hope’s report as the symptoms have been traced back to 10 days before his positive test.
Though if he still tests positive, he’ll have to remain in isolation over the weekend but would be back in time for the all-important Norwich match on Tuesday evening.

Comment #4Jail
Are you desperate for us to be relegated?
All you’ve gone on about for days is players not signing for us in Champions.
You wanting a cheap away trip to Blackpool?
Don’t say because it’s a possibility, there’s a possibility we’ll stay up too but you don’t seem to see it that way.
All your talk is as if its inevitable!

Not inevitable at all, we have to accept it might happen though. Personally, if Eddie H is going to deliver Saudi funded attacking mindless football away to Barnsley on a Tuesday night then I don’t mind it whatsoever š

Comment #13Sounds stupid in our precarious situation but do you think Howe will stick with darlow to build his confidence up? Coach and train him to reach his potential to possibly make the England World Cup squad? ā¦ no just get dubs back in. Darlow makes me more nervous than my 4 year old hyped on sugar with her mamās make up on next to my new curtains

Comment #22Op,
What has got in to you, is there a new discovery of mushrooms on Gosforth Park š how can you say it’s a fair example? Some teams have one after another. One difficult fixture, Norwich had the worst run ever and now have a canny run, we had a footin relatively easy one and are just about to pay the price for that in three games time. The law of averages says one good one bad. There is nothing footin good about a run of bad and especially if you don’t win the odd good one.

Comment #23Independent Regulators for English football
First job is to expose the cartel, the role of the EPL, Richard Masters, Bein Sports, and relegate Man U for their role in tawdry events of late. Check out Beckham and Qatar.
The review also proposes new owners’ and directors’ tests and that these are carried out by IREF instead of the Premier League, English Football League (EFL) and the Football Association (FA).
Tracy Crouch said she is “absolutely confident” that such measures would stop any revival of the failed European Super League or a similar breakaway competition and would prevent a club going bust in the manner Bury FC did in 2019.

Comment #26If Dubs hadn’t been injured I doubt the results under Bruce wouldn’t have been so bad and we would have saved a lot of hot air talking about it. He’s the number 1 keeper, play him. Darlow and Woodward are now fringe players.
How Gayle like Bruce got the contracts they did of Ashley defies description.

Comment #27Mund yeah I think we will. Heās an unknown quantity and if he can move the ball quickly and accurately with a bit of movement and pick his moments could be a wild card. At least an option that we donāt have at present from what Iāve seen so far. If he can get the basics right he may be an improvement

Comment #29Loch, I hope this review doesn’t try to curtail our spending, unfairly, seen the top six, have just been able to spend as much as they want, hoovering up all the talent, moaning them out, and getting them back the finished product.

Comment #33Whichever way you look at it, we are at least 5 years away from getting in amongst the top 3.
But weāve got till 2030. š
Without the scum PL stopping our takeover last year, I think all our targets were reachable.
The team will have had 15 x months less of āticking overā SB training, and weād already have had 2 x summer and 1 x winter windows behind us. I think weād be comfortable top 7 already.
Those bastards at the PL along with MA/SB caring bugger all has stuffed us, I hope they all get what they deserve. š

Comment #34Moonraker I donāt doubt that and the last game was blatant that we missed dubs. But the amount of VAR goals against us. Last minute tackle in injury time by lacelles vs Southampton, open goal missed by longstaff vs watford. The whole team is to blame.

Comment #37Jp, all those things you mention were symptomatic of the lazy training they were getting at the time.
I think a lot of those ālazy errorsā will stop now. Having watched some of the training and routines, Iām fairly confident weāll hump Norwich and Burnley, and Iāve said for sometime I fancy a draw at weekend (as always would love a win). 7 points next 3.
Apart from City and Liverpool, there are points to be had from the rest of pre Xmas games and I expect to win at least one of them.
We may not be out of bottom 3, but I think weāll look a lot more secure than now. š
