Tomiyasu White Gabriel Tierney
Saka Partey Lokonga ESR
Auba Laca
We have struggled against teams who play 3 at the back so I would try 2 up front again. Bring Pepe on for Laca when he inevitably gets gassed after 60 minutes.

That's the lineup I'm hoping for as well. It's basically Laca in for Ødegaard. There's an argument for Pepe starting over Saka as well but it's nice to have the creativity on the flanks with two strikers.

Nuno should start this game

Really don't know what to expect from this one. Every game is a lottery for us really. They're nothing to be feared at the moment but unfortunately they'll be thinking exactly the same way about us.
I'd go with the same team that won the Villa game though, reward them for a winning performance.

I like it.
Two forwards pressing the center backs is an effective strategy IMO, as opposed to the one forward chasing the CB on the ball and using his cover shadow to block the other CB. The players are right there ready to suffocate you, as opposed to bypassing a single forward (Auba) with clever movement and positioning.
They would probably split the CBs and use the GK as the third man in their buildup, but we would still have enough numbers in the press to cater for that.
Its why the "attacking 442" is being seen more these days, and we have guys like Pep to thank for this.
The main thing for me is us either forcing them long and winning the ball back, or turning the ball over higher up and attacking their defense. The latter especially raises our XG tremendously as we are naturally closer to goal with numbers.

League is very weak
He could’ve kept Saliba and Guendouzi etc. Don’t rate the Casper signing etc.

Arteta In by November
Country: USA
Player:Ødegaard
Hmm but he was in the training video apparently

Why did Arteta play White against a struggling team at home in the Caribbean cup if he had been feeling ill for a day or two?

If we follow the Arteta trend, we’ll lose this. He’s trend is to win a few and then lose a few.
A good result here, a win, shows a development I’ll say.

Interesting comments about White and Saliba. He talks about what it was about White's defensive game, passing game and character that persuaded the club to sign him.
Our loans manager was in France watching Saliba this week. Doesn't sound positive about him staying next year though ("that's a decision we will have to make in the summer") and ("I don't want to talk about it now, there's a chance of course but it will depend what happens with other players")

Did he explain why he decided to use a sick player against Leeds in the Carneval cup?
Barry

No but White looked fine until he went off and we had a clean sheet so what's the problem?

The problem is that you are supposed to be in your bed and rest when you are sick, not playing football in a game you dont really have to participate in.
Barry

Yeah maybe but he can't have been that sick if he was playing elite level football right? Obviously whatever effected him came on suddenly or was just causing fatigue. It's not like a knee injury where you don't want to aggravate something. He was fine to play and he played well until he couldn't. I don't see the issue to be honest.

He wasnt fine to play if he had to be substituted ffs. The issue? If you are sick you are supposed to rest if you want to become healthy and not risking making things worse. Why is this difficult to understand?

“Calling the Arsenal a 6th-8th club place team and promoting Arteta to wind up the big lads on this forum.”
I mean you were pretty spot on here. Reminds me of the times I was called a troll for not eating Lacazette and Torreira just for everyone to eventually agree.
It’s hard when you know football and have to discuss it with the less educated but alas here we are.
