Better off playing some youngsters in this game that want to play attacking football. Too many defensive players out of position with players like mikhi and iwobi that cant keep possession

Yeah, they did a brilliant job of that on Thursday, didn't they?

We've got Laca, Özil and Ramsey waiting, ffs.

 

[progman07]

Lich and Kos never played together, lich is not a CB and Kos havent played proffesional football in a year.
We need to play 3 at the back.

Valid point, but still I think the extra player would be more useful in midfield - Xhaka could drop back if needed, but we should stop their attacks further up on the pitch if we want to take off pressure from our unusual CB pair.

 

[MaraDon]

Mkith apart from the goal

how many times are we going to say this until we figure out that is not coincidence.
The guy produces numbers. Just like Ramsey, we need numbers.

 

[field442]

Absolutely no need for the lineup he picked. Getting a bit annoyed with these ****ty teams he picks.

 

[dashsnow17]

Disagree on Iwobi, been shockingly bad. Even Saka would be a better option

Haha yeah can’t argue with that tbh.

 

[Vantastico]

Özil on at halftime, Laca and Ramsey at 60th minute, imo.

Leno
Licht Kos Mon Xhaka
Torreira Guendouzi
Özil
Mikhi Auba Iwobi

Need to be able to close this one out.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Not really, no. If we hadn't dropped points against other fodder like Palace, Wolves and Man Utd then you could take a draw. Bearing in mind those games, we have to win.

Fair point but we’re so patched up at the back it’s a joke. A draw wouldn’t be a disaster.

 

[rich 1990]

I think it's such a game today, you can only lose it. ...

Apart from winning it or drawing it.

 

[MaraDon]

Iwobi created our goal.

 

[rich 1990]

Fair point but we’re so patched up at the back it’s a joke. A draw wouldn’t be a disaster.

It would. 2 points is the maximum we can be behind the ****, absolutely max.

 

[Sapient Hawk]

Don’t be ridiculous.

How is it ridiculous?

Sp**s may hit a rough patch but for us to take advantage we need to match them every step of the way.

Chelsea are much worse than we are offensively, relying on Hazard's brilliance to see them through but they see much more secure at the back than we are.

It's not impossible to overhaul one of them but two of them is not likely.

3 goals and 1 assist in 14 games is not great numbers really

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Looks like 442 with that sub

 

[razörist]

Where’s Mesut Emery!!!!

 

[Giroud12]

Show some fecking fight in the 2nd half!!!! Cant enjoy Pool spanking utd. if we lose first

 

[Ceballinhos]

relax we win this guys

 

[DanDare]

Summary of first half? Missed it

 

[HBL]

Come on boys, we need to win this!

 

[NieThePiet]

Come on Laca.

 

[progman07]

****, Bellerin is injured now as well...
