Guess so. Two that can cover plenty of ground to allow Ramsey to bomb forward.

Yeah agree , but please not 2nd striker.

One does despair when Mariah Carey is held forth as a musical muse for the up and coming gentleman of this day and era. Sort it out @Makingtrax !

The main benefit of El Neny is that he will consistently show for the ball, which is unlike Xhaka last Sunday who at times was marking himself out of the game. Potentially Emery's thinking for playing El Neny will be to improve our options when passing out from deep.

However, El Neny is a nothing player in defence and attack. I'm far from a fan, so would be disappointed to see him start. I'd also be uncomfortable if we start a completely different midfield to last week.

Can only hope that if he does start El Neny, he manages to bring balance back to our midfield.

Guendouzi is much better passer from deep already at 19. He made a one or two defensive mistakes last week though.

Emery has to make a decision whether to cultivate him and develop his greater long term potential in the thick of it, or go with experience.

Torreira's cameo vs City last week was interesting. If you noticed, when he made his runs back, he was looking at the play.

Him and Elneny seem to be the 2 players more aware of where to position themselves to receive and recycle the ball at base of midfield. There's 3 others ahead in midfield, so I have no problems if they stick to playing safe.

Guendouzi may have more potential and play both DM or B2B well. But if he starts, he needs to stick to his (defined) role well.

Don't really care who starts. Just don't lose. If we want something special this season we need a win.

Something special won't be happening last week showed us that we not close to be challenging team yet

 

[Axel9090]

No Xhaka
Lichtsteiner at LB
Aubameyang and Lacazette partnership

What Im hoping for.

 

[A_G]

Ramsey dropped, no Torreria tho

 

[OnlyOne]

Awful line up imo.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Wtf where is Torreira

 

[field442]

Can’t be having these team selections. #EmeryOut

 

[Axel9090]

Emery is really making it hard for me to like him right now. Iwobi? Xhaka still in the side? No Torreira!!!!

Im fuming.

 

[Uncredible_Hulk]

Ugh....**** **** **** **** ****

Makes sense when you consider Emery said everyone will get a chance to show what they can do. He probably wrote the first two games off results wise so he's using them to assess players.

 

[berric]

Özil - Mkhi clearly won't work.

 

[GUNNERS4L1FE]

What is that team ffs

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Oh hazard not starting but Barkley is starting the f**k is going on here

 

[krengon]

My boy Iwobi getting a chance!!

Unsure about the midfield.
