PL: Arsenal v Brighton | December 5, 20:15 GMT | Amazon Prime

Should be enough to beat Brighton at home, so no issues.

I’ll never accept Auba being shifted wide for a bum like Laca though. Even though Laca should fill his boots today.

 

[LG10]

Pepe and Martinelli the only players that excite you, gonna be a dull game

 

[Gooner Zig]

Not sure what the issue is really. Tierney has been patchy and Kola has been ok.

Kola has been awful. Granted he was pretty good against Norwich but he's been a **** this season. Can barely control the football.

No true at all, he’s been at least better than Tierney.

When does Auba start getting pissed at playing on the flank? Surely he has to at some stage.

 

[Hleb's Sirush]

Xhaka and Torreira worked well last season. Hope Özil is centre and not shifted to the wing again. That would be a waste. Still we should smash Brighton.

 

[Maybe]

Looks like there's no way we are ever going to see Martinelli, Auba, Pepe and Özil attack with double pivot behind all of that.
Our managers like to make it hard for themselves so if their pragmatic tactics win a point here and there everyone will think they are tactical geniuses.

 

[bingobob]

Wondering if Tierney is still being eased in due to injury?

Also think it's a 4231 with Özil outright.

 

[nick gould]

Can’t wait for him to bring on his academy bum chums in the second half.

Saka is not on the bench. So we are safe from that.

4/5 months and he’s gone, no point getting upset.

Then we’ll ask “why is he leaving”.

wtf gunnerblog is on Amazon prime.

When they get sacked, the board just needs to reduce the amount of crap they are willing to take from new managers.
I'm sure somewhere in the world there is a manager willing to work for Arsenal who would just play normal line up

 

[Tir Na Nog]

The thing is there was some positive signs offensively vs Norwich, why would Freddie completely change it? We're going with a similar setup to Sunday with a few changes to try and improve things defensively. It's really not that confusing.

I think he’s benched because of his poor performances.

When he learns how to hold up the ball, brings others into play etc. Until then it doesn't matter where he starts as we only need him for the final touch. He can make his runs from the wing, his scoring rate is pretty much same whether he starts central or wide.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Tbh Kolasinac was fantastic against Norwich so you can see why he’s kept his place. I genuinely feel like LB is the most secure spot in our squad in terms of talent and depth.

Shame about Auba out wide. Wanna see him through the middle full time- I feel if Laca isn’t at it today he’ll find himself on the bench. Freddie has already been ruthless with Saka and Mustafi.

people want to see our best 4 offensive players without knowing that Auba would be waste on wings and Pepe looked haven't settled

 

[GDeep™]

I’ll go 4-1 to Arsenal.

 

[Sanchez11]

Where is pepe ffs?

 

[kraphtous]

Predicting this to be our best performance since Leicester 2018.
