Predicted Lineup
I just realized that the team I put here, is exactly the team that started and won 1-2 away at Zurich. Apart from Cedric because he has been injured. Is there are a problem with this starting line-up? Isn't he trusting the squad?This is one of the issues I have with Arteta. He's got to trust the squad more.
The kids or even a new signing like Vieira I can give a pass too, but if the likes of Holding, Turner, Nelson, Lokonga etc aren't good enough to start against these lot they probably aren't good enough to be at Arsenal, full stop.
I don't think it's clever at all to be risking important guys 3 days before a massive league match. All it takes is Santa Claus to snap Xhaka or whoever's leg and we'll all be decrying how our season has been ruined and how silly it was for him to start this match.
Has to be over 16 to be eligible.Do we have a 15 year old kid we can play for a record?
Would really like to see something special from nelson. He feels like nketiah did before his recent power-bump. Not good enough when i see him play.
Please use the opportunity Nelson
Arteta is a fan of Reiss but Reiss has to make himself undeniable. Need a big, confident showing tomorrow.
Please use the opportunity Nelson

Reason not to play totally 2nd string is to get a win, and have great confidence in the team and fans at home stadium continued for the Liverpool game. And to be able to rotate later, even leave 1st team out of the Bodo away trip next week.I agreed, we should be more then capable beating them with our second string no reason to mess around. We need everybody fit for Liverpool.
FFS. Didn't some player say they train like the play? This is what you get.
What was this? It's deleted now.
