EL | Arsenal v FC BATE Borisov | Thursday 7th December 2017 | 20:05 GMT | BT Sport

Everyone will be expecting us to play our second(or third) team here. Instead, we should play our strongest team and rack up our largest margin of victory or goals. 10-0 or something. Puts our name in the record books...

I want to see Nketiah & Nelson play a full game in this. Is Chambers fit? He needs some action.

You won't see those two for a full game. Wenger seldom does it. Even when we are through

What I want and what Wenger wants are often quite different! tbh he should though, its games like this when we need to look to the future and give them a chance. We could play Giroud to give him game time and he then leaves in Jan.

I’d leave out Giroud, December is a busy month and he gets enough minutes to not need to play here. Should also allow us to give Nelson a start in an advanced role.

Mustafi missed training today, for everyone who thought he was faking injury.

No, he just took too long to get out of bed.

Wenger confirms Walcott will start, so I guess we're playing a similar team to previous Europa league games..

 

[dashsnow17]

Agree with those wanting Chambers at CB, RCB would suit him to a tee. I know he's had some injuries, but I really don't understand the lack of attention he gets from our fans. Boro fans were raving about him last year.

 

[dashsnow17]

If Debuchy plays over Chambers at RCB I'll be completely bewildered, maybe even more angry than I'd be to see Walcott over Nelson at RFW.

 

[MutableEarth]

Looks like Wenger is gonna play a boring team tomorrow. Walcott starting.

Were you in bed with him Rich?

Yes.

 

[celestis]

Groin injury then I take it .

 

[rich 1990]

This thread's taken a very homophobic twist.

Ban Mark Tobias.

 

[ArtetaCognition]

I feel bad for Nketiah and Nelson. Don't expect them to get meaningful minutes in their strongest positions.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Colin Pates and Christopher Wreh for this one surely. Might not be stupid to have Alan Smith on the bench, unless he wants to do that commentary thing of his.

 

[Polar Bear]

2-0 to us I think.
