PL: Fulham v Arsenal | Saturday, September 12 | KO: 12:30 BST | BT Sport

I hope Willian isn’t here to dismantle Team Pepe.......

Good luck with that

Pepe is gonna become a serial killer this season

 

[SA Gunner]

The same system we've been playing for months now but with Gabriel in place of Luiz.

Then its Elneny dropping between the CB's mate. Gabriel on the left, and Holding on the right. Ainsley tucking into midfield next to Xhaka with Keiran and Bellerin providing width.

 

[GDeep™]

Was considering paying for some sports channels as so many games will be televised but its still so ****ing expensive to get both BT and sky ffs

I’m with Sky, I get BT for free, probably because I got the big package.

I don’t feel it’s worth it though.

I hope Willian isn’t here to dismantle Team Pepe.......

Pepe just had a baby and was one of the last to come back. I doubt he is ready physically.

 

[Jury]

I thought I’d read he was back and ready.

At the risk of him banging a winner against us, Kamara is utter dogsh*is enough tot.

Just that name alone is enough to ensure he scores against us. We love an exotic sounding schmuck who couldn’t hit a cows ass.

 

[TimT]

I like the line up but not sure about the defense though it may be okay as long as the wing backs provide enough support. El Neny is not someone I expect much of but I know he is a hard working player. I expect a lot from Kieran Tierney this season. Also, I am happy to see Willian in Arsenal, a player I like very much.

 

[OnlyOne]

Bare nervous for Gabriel ffs, he'll get hammered for the rest of his days if he makes 1 error.

 

[Moah]

So we bought willian to bench Pepe, shameful.

 

[GDeep™]

Mitrovic would’ve bullied this defence.

 

[Jasard]

I’m with Sky, I get BT for free, probably because I got the big package.

I don’t feel it’s worth it though.

Cheapest I can get the two is £40 a month, mad. And that's through nowtv and EE..

 

[Fewtch]

If you can't be excited for the season opener why do you even watch football?

Still a dead team

On the face of it... But if you look at how things could work it could be quite efficient...

It’s almost the team I predicted tbf but you’re never quite ready for seeing El Neny in the starting lineup

 

[Trilly]

Don’t think Arteta likes Pépé.

 

[GDeep™]

I don’t like Willian over Pepe though.

 

[Macho]

Bare nervous for Gabriel ffs, he'll get hammered for the rest of his days if he makes 1 error.

I’m sure a lot of you guys are frothing at the mouth to do the same to Leno anyways. Both will be fine.

 

[Lady_Gooner]

Pepe just had a baby and was one of the last to come back. I doubt he is ready physically.

Oh I know for this game just meant the season in general

 

[GDeep™]

I’m sure a lot of you guys are frothing at the mouth to do the same to Leno anyways. Both will be fine.

Say that about any player though - Leno, Laca, Xhaka, Holding, El Neny, Willian etc.

 

[Macho]

I gotta say, this formation and personnel selection is very Emery-esque

Against a newly promoted side I’m a bit..surprised. It will work though.

No Saka no Pepe is disappointing - but we move.

 

[GUNNERS4L1FE]

Willian will score today..

 

[boxerumble]

Translation: Gabriel in the same boat but the better defender?

A bit nervous for today but lord help us we should really be doing Fulham with relative ease

 

[DUFFMAN]

Way to knock pepes confidence from the get go.
