This truly should be our line up going forward(if we insist on 3 at the back)
But Xhaka will have to be dropped cause we can't field 12 players

The only role Kolasinac can play is roleplaying; that is to say dressing up like and pretending to be a football player.

Because Kola isn’t good enough bruh and Tierney is out.
Kola can’t start otherwise we’ll get dispatched.

I dont see arteta use partey against city. like pep he chooses the starting eleven based on training-fitness and i dont think that he will give a free pass to partey with just 3 training sessions even if he is our major transfer this summer because it will give the team the wrong message that someone plays for his name and transfer fee. i think xhaka and ceballos will start in the usual 3-4-3 formation. Tbh i rate kolasinac offensivly more than tierney and i prefer him than AMN for overlaps and crosses. But we will see.

Ofc auba up front with pep and willian on the wings. I still remember willians goal against city at conte's first year on the counter when they won 1-3. Hope he does the same on sunday.
This makes too much sense to me. Being Mikel, I suspect he’ll go again with Laca through the middle, Willian on the right and Partey left out of the squad.

Arteta never plays with three proper centre-backs. The point of the 3-4-3 setup is to have an outside centre-back who can operate as a wingback when we're in possession. Gabriel can't do that. An alternative would have been to play Chambers on the right in that role but he's not fit. We'll probably see Kolasinac start unless Arteta goes for a proper 4-3-3.

That lineup is suspect for me. 3 players prone to knobhead reactions all playing close to the goal is never a good thing even with Partey in the team. I'd switch Xhaka for Neny and Willian for Saka.
@American_Gooner Please add the spelling for our newest player to the dictionary. I can't stand these constant reds.
Going through the Blueemoon. You could see their fans are scared ****less of us
They want Pep to play a double pivot of Rodri and fernandinho
I suspect it’s their own defence they are worried about more than our attack. Hardly any mention of our players on there.

I fcking hate international football so much please just let me watch Arsenal again ffs.
Bro this is one thing I lowkey hate about deadline day signings. Isn't there always an international break following the deadline. Pisses me off man.

@hydrofluoric acid - can you do some more of your blood magic to ensure Partey starts against City ?
Very ridiculous that Armstrong who tested positive is available to play but Tierney who was negative can't play.
Take your agenda elsewhere. We start with 12.
