PL: Arsenal vs Chelsea | Sunday 29th December | KO: 14:00 GMT | Sky Sports

[OnlyOne]

Seriously hope Nelson and Saka's final ball in on point today.

 

[Malky]

That’s a **** team, shows how bad our squad is - no genuine fullbacks, Chambers and Luiz isn’t the most convincing CB’s, Weak midfield, our best CF outwide for an average Laca, and our other wide player is a kid with no end product.

Hope Arteta has a tactical masterclass here.

Why has G.Neville got a batty crease between his eyebrows?

 

[MikeVinna]

Pepe is probs slightly injured, these tackles that his on the receiving end of are ****ing horrendous.

I really hope that’s what it is. Could be he’s carrying a knock and can’t be relied upon to start yet.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Celebrating that the fanboy Bebe is not starting!

COYG!!!

 

[Riou]

How am I wrong?

This ad terrified me from using roll on deodorant as a kid


...looked it up and they made one for spray too, but I never saw it before.

Slighty injured, yet started against City, and now for the 3rd game on the bench.

Find that very hard to believe.

Nelson, being an Arsenal product, is probably showing more of the basics Arteta wants in training.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

There no team like ours get injures in key areas for every season bellerin holding should be back for now but they seem not ready. Ceballos been assessed for like 3 weeks Martenilli too

 

[SA Gunner]

We’ll lose, but it’s about the 10 year plan.

COYG!!!!!!!!!

 

[nas7232]

Really disappointed nelson starting after dismal performances. There must be someone else that can play there because nelson was shocking. Hopefully he can turn it around.. maybe be banned on crossing/risky dribbling and allow others to put the final ball in. Also a shame xhaka is gone because he played very well last gsme

 

[Oxeki]

The lineup has me scared. But **** it, Arteta has all my support.

At least, he has us fans looking forward to games again

 

[Sammy1887]

Arteta to get his first hammering today?

 

[TakeChillPill]

****ing hell thats a weak bench. I swear Bellerin has been being “assessed” for like 3 weeks now. Martinelli’s injury is untimely too.

**** it, still optimistic. COYG!

Shows the reality of our current prediciment, plagued with injuries.

 

[krengon]

Technically Nelson is one of the best in the team so not surprising Arteta likes him.

 

[field442]

Arteta making it sound like Xhaka is off.

 

[SingmeasongSong]

My hope pretty much wiped out by having Nelson instead of Pepe - hope I'm proven wrong

 

[Slartibartfast]

Just scrolling through noting all the positive feeling Arteta is bringing to AM.

I trust Arteta's judgement. Pepe has been carrying a knock, hopefully he can come on and have a positive impact.

 

[remains]

Can’t see us winning this, the lineup looks horrible, not much else Arteta can do with the injuries tbf. Pepe on the bench is odd though, can’t be doing much for his confidence.
