I think Arteta will go with this team:

Runnarrson
Mustafi-Luiz-Kolasanic
AMN-Partey-Elneny-Saka
Pepe-Lacazette-Nelson
(343)

The team I’m hoping for.
Runnarrson
AMN-Mustafi-Luiz-Kolasanic
ESR-Partey-Willock
Pepe-Nketiah-Nelson
(433)

There is no reason for a club that clearly struggles with creativity should be lining up in a back 5 or have sideways passers like Elneny or Xhaka starting. I hope Arteta takes it to them, and if we’re winning by a big margin it wouldn’t hurt to give some players their debut (Azeez or Balogun). Take off Partey by 60th minute so he can start against Leicester.

Have Azeez and Balogun even travelled?

Going by Artetas comments, team sounds like its gonna be pretty strong in first team presence.

Remember when we were CL every year and challenging in the top 4 with exciting football. Used to love those days.

Still, let's hope Mikel can get us back to those levels. :lol: Meanwhile . . .

Poor defence, but i don't care, just want to see Partey and ESR.
also, give Nelson another chance on the left.

Europa League group stage is the worst, wish they kept it as just a knockout tournament like it used to be...can't even post any nostalgic videos, as we haven't even played these gimps before...dead game ffs.

Unfortunately gone are the days where we'd win 3-5-0 in these games, these days we should win but only scores like 2-1 or 1-0.

Doubt we are gonna see many fringe players. The way he speaks he is gonna start strong 11

Ceballos injury might tempt to start ESR if he's fit.

I want only partey and auba(badly needs a goal) to start from regular 11

Auba is the player I want least to start. He never gets a rest, never gets subbed, nothing, and yet puts in the biggest mileage.

I'd rather he was 100% for Leicester on Sunday.

I would much rather watch us get smashed by Bayern then lose to Olympiakos in the first knockout round that's for sure.
Yeah, up in my top 10 games is the match against United in 2017 where we lost 3-1. We had 33 shots to their 8 with an xG through the roof. DeGea pulled off a list of world class saves, one an incredible double save. But Kos made a stupid intercepted diagonal ball, and Mustafi gifted a goal to Lingard.:lol: Our passing movements cut them apart with ease. It was beautiful to watch. Watched 3 times. Imagine if we'd had quality CBs like VVD.

Cedric and nelson both played full games in U21 squad so doubt they’ll travel
