Win PL: Arsenal 3 - 1 Tottenham | Sunday 26th September | KO: 16:30 | Sky Sports

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Where the hell is Pepe?

Likely bench.

 

[Notorious Big]

Lads,it's Sp**s.

 

[Monstar-Gunn4r]

Thats a strong team, far stronger than we started the season with, and far far stronger than we started last season with On paper we should win this.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Pepe Laca Martinelli all on the bench

Ok lets hope Xhaka keeps his head. Apart from Xhaka its the team I posted. It was always important to have Saka, ESR & Ødegaard, meaning Pepe on the bench.

Where the hell is Pepe?

Putting so much pressure on an out of form Auba.

Guess we'll be seeing some more shots from Partey today.

 

[boonthegoon]

I expected this lineup except for saka. Thought pepe will start ahead of saka. I was sure esr was gonna play LW.

Who would you drop to start Pepe? Having ESR, Saka & Ødegaard together is vital.

 

[Wiggins]

I swear on my mothers life, if Xhaka gives away a goal, a pen or a red card today I am not supporting Arsenal anymore. Wallahi this nightmare ends today. This club is breaking my spirit, I will just support City or PSG with the other plastics and live a peaceful life.

PSG, naw! At least support Westham or something. That's who I'd support if it came down to it.

 

[MikelHadADream]

Thought he'd go with ESR/Ødegaard/Saka, we killed them down the left with ESR/Tierney last season, think we will see a most of out play come down that side. Think Tierney will be the key for us, we need him to get back to his best.

 

[El Duderino]

Pepe dropped uno. @Trilly @Macho our boy gets absolved of the blame if we lose this.

Unless he comes in and puts in a plate for Saka or ESR and the eu fluff it again

I don’t think I’m overreacting. What I fail to explain because I’m raging is that it shows how inconsistent and frankly stupid Arteta is. He banishes Guendouzi for a wrong reaction to a loss, he benched Auba for being late but Xhaka, Xhaka can do everything and get off without any punishment. Everyone says we already lost the City game but he let his team down again, they had to work really hard to keep the scoreline somewhat respectable because he couldn’t keep his head, again not for the first time. And what consequences are there for him? None. He starts again like nothing ever happened. Why? Who is this, CR7? Messi? Its a Swiss-Albanian plumber treated like he is god in human form. Its not Ok. Its wrong.

My comment wasn't specific to you per se. Just commenting based on his skillset and the most obvious system Arteta likes to deploy - i.e. If we're going to look to sit tight a bit and launch attacks from deep, then I can understand his inclusion. Also, as Tierney is his de facto chance creator, he'll be looking to tuck Xhaka back to cover for him.

All say, really wish Arteta gets fired ASAP regardless of the result. His style, poor man management and general terrible football are absolutely joyless

 

[MikeVinna]

Arteta needs to be hounded out of the stadium when Xhaka loses us this match.

 

[SA Gunner]

You can have them all, and Partey in the side if you drop Xhaka.

 

[razörist]

PSG, naw! At least support Westham or something. That's who I'd support if it came down to it.

I’ll just stick to Ajax and hope our young talents join superior clubs to Arsenal like Brighton before its too late.

 

[LG10]

Pepe rightfully benched, great lineup

 

[TornadoTed]

We only have two goal threats and Pepe is on the bench, ridiculous. Despite him being quite frustrating he is undropable at the moment in my opinion.

What System? What system? Taking too long to build from the back until the defense is set and then forcing the ball into our attackers who are better on the counter but cant trap a ball under pressure? What system, there is no system its all a scam

 

[SA Gunner]

Pepe rightfully benched, great lineup

Who are our goal threats today then?
