Think Arteta will play a stronger team here with more rotation to come against Portsmouth on Monday night

The last time Olympiacos came to the Emirates:

 

[Notorious Big]

Apart from that win,we always put them in friend zone at Emirates.3-1 victory.

 

[Tourbillion]

Yeah, should be comfortable. Definitely agree with playing AMN over Saka, the kid is absolutely spent (though still saves our arses).

Question is does Arteta even see AMN as an option anymore?

 

[Pepes blue pill]

Going to this one :bounce::bounce::bounce: should be a fourth victory in a row

 

[Make]

I guess that we'll make a good match here, it's probably 4-0 to Arsenal. We need to play with our best team and to give a hit on the table to say we are the Arsenal and also we can win the EL trophy

 

[El Duderino]

Hoping we put 3 past them and keep the scoring momentum going. We'll have the chance to rotate vs Porstmouth.
Hopefully Saka can have a breather and Auba won't have to play on the right side to acomodate Martinelli.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Start with our strongest XI

Martinez
Bellerin - Mustafi - Luiz - Saka
Xhaka - Özil - Ceballos
Pepe - Nketiah - Aubameyang

 

[Wagwaan]

We can keep the momentum going here. 4-0.

LENO
BELLERIN - MUSTAFI - LUIZ - SAKA
XHAKA - TORREIRA
PEPE - Özil - AUBAMEYANG
LACAZETTE

MARTINEZ, MARI, SOKRATIS, GUENDOUZI, CEBALLOS, WILLOCK, MARTINELLI.

Martinez can start against Portsmouth.
Saka can be rested for Xhaka/AMN/Medley.

Off topic af but I’d just like to say, we were fully justified in selling Iwobi. His performance against us encapsulates his career here.. neat and tidy, head loss when it’s time to provide real quality.

Glad for him that he signed off with a brilliant consolation strike against Chelski in the EL final (see how I brought it back?) but £40M was really top, top business.

Leave Saka our of it. Auba, Laca, Luiz, Mustafi, Xhaka on the bench if needed.

Mavro is on loan at Nürnberg.

Mavro is on loan at Nürnberg.

Get him back URGENTLY! We must have lost our marbles!

Ok, Mustafi in again then and rest him at Pompey. Not sure Medley can be trusted in a makeshift team.

i don’t know... I saw nothing in him and gave him so many chances in my mind. He has such an awkward drive/movement about him. I didn’t see anything at all in the guy and neither did the board it turns out.
Hope he turns out Okay with Everton I guess

Lol ok

 

[morpho]

The team gives itself realy, just hope he doesnt play the Xhaka-Douzi partnership...

Leno
Bellerin - Mustafi - Luiz - Saka
Xhaka - Torreira
Pepe - Özil - Aubameyang
Lacazette

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Mari should be in good condition to play this game Luiz mustafi played too many games lately so is Xhaka saka and auba they need a rest.
Leno
Bellerin Sokratis Mari AMN
Torreira Guendouzi
Pepe Ceballos Martinelli
Laca

 

[roz]

Strongest team plz. Kill the game at half time and we can sub players that need a break.
Pompey is our next game so we can rotate for that one.

 

[Sanis]

Saka looked knackered in the second half against Everton, would be really surprised if he will be starting in this game.

 

[El Duderino]

Side note, isn't it great to actually be excited and looking forward to a game? Feels like it's been ages...
