PL: Chelsea v Arsenal | August 18, 2018 17:30 BST | BT Sport

No Torreira or laca? ffs

 

[Gooner Zig]

More likely that Torreira isn't fully fit or integrated yet. He's only been with the team for what? 3 weeks?

 

[Sapient Hawk]

FFS!! What does that cretin Xhaka have to do to get the chop?

The new era won't be realized for me until he finds himself firmly in German lands once again.

 

[SingmeasongSong]

I mean, I got a lot of love for Emery already, but **** me. No Torreira and Laca in the line-up is a ****ing crime.

 

[NieThePiet]

You can't blame Wenger anymore, lovely.

 

[Uncredible_Hulk]

Why the **** is Xhaka in this lineup?

There are games he's well suited for. This is not one of them.

 

[MutableEarth]

Overly ambitious plan here. This is an away match and it looks like a home line-up vs Cardiff.

Torreira should have started ahead of Xhaka IMO. Don't mind seeing Iwobi but Mhki should have been dropped IMO.

Also, still no Nelson on the bench.

 

[James Bond]

Ramsey dropped, no Torreria tho

No Ramsey!?

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Emery said yesterday Torreira is ready to start. Should be starting.

 

[bingobob]

Can't believe Mkhitaryan has survived and Ramsey on the bench. Iwobi isn't a bad shout.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

I'll forgive Emery if this 4-4-2 with Özil and auba upfront and Mkhi Iwobi out wide

 

[2Smokeyy]

I was hoping Xhaka & Cech got the drop. No Lacazette too.

Wrong choice of line up from Emery. Can see a Chelsea win here tbh.

Here’s hoping for a Guendouzi masterclass.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Emery said yesterday Torreira is ready to start. Should be starting.

The guy already trolling us signing 20M GK then still starting cech

 

[razörist]

I'll forgive Emery if this 4-4-2 with Özil and auba upfront and Mkhi Iwobi out wide

Well its not that

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Maybe Torreira will be our new Giroud with late headers off the bench

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

More likely that Torreira isn't fully fit or integrated yet. He's only been with the team for what? 3 weeks?

Usually I’d agree but Emery came out earlier this week and said Torreira is okay to start. Quite odd.

Also surprising to see Ramsey dropped. But Guendouzi is clearly making a huge impression on Emery. It also looks as if Laca and Welbeck will be backup strikers for Auba.

 

[razörist]

At least Guendouzi starts and Özil back in his spot but Guendouzi will have to play really great for this midfield to work..

 

[FinnGooner]

Horrible lineup. Hopefully they prove me wrong but they won't

 

[2Smokeyy]

Ramsey should be starting too.

When we’re away from home it should be either Mkhitaryan or Özil that give way. They’re both similar players and drift in and out of these types of games.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Well its not that

Then Iwobi Mkhi out wide and Özil as N.10 at least
