So it really is Jenkinson/Lich at right back. I think I'd consider playing 5atb with Iwobi as a wing back
He's usually looking for friends on Redcafe tbf.Trying watching Mustafi and you'd be like it too. I like you Bob, you're much nicer than that other Man City prick we have on here.
Boot them and the ball in the air circa mid 80's Crazy Gang.

Do you want us to end the match with 9 players?
Which PL referee is going to let us go and kick anyone off the park, let alone media darlings Manchester City?
Our players also have very little nous when it comes to knowing when and where to do something. You send them out hot with instructions to boot them into the air then I can easily see us giving away a penalty or two.
Have faith. I have a great vision. You don't need to understand my methods. We've tried it other ways for many seasons. Now lets try it my way.
Well the ref might be so shocked at the sight of Arsenal players kicking people he might forget to pull out his cards for the first half hour
We'll be Klopp's Liverpool but instead of gegenpressing in the first half we'll be gegentackling
Same, then I could dislike half the rubbish posted on here. You could've actually posted something insightful as to why you disagree. First of all, this is a one off game and getting anything from it would be a bonus, I believe our best chance of getting anything from this would be to target their full backs and if that means trying something random then I'm all for it. We aren't going to pass through City, even if Özil played, the quality of their starting XI is just far too strong. This is what I would play:Wish there was a dislike button
I really don't understand why 3atb/5atb is so frowned upon, especially in big games like this,
Playing a full back as one of the wider cb's is very common in a 3atb, allows you to have an extra player that is comfortable going one vs one with a winger, in case the wing back is out of position. Chelsea used Moses, Sevilla have used Jesus Navas when playing 3 atb, I really don't think playing Iwobi there for one game is a problem. He is mobile, unlike Lichtsteiner and actually gives the City defence something to think about in attack, unlike Jenkinson.We don't have enough fit defenders to play it, that is the main reason. You made a 5 at the back formation and had to put a LB as one of the CBs and Iwobi as the wingback.
Worried about not having Xhaka but also wonder if it could be a blessing in disguise.
that might be true, but it is just lazy/desperate.Playing a full back as one of the wider cb's is very common in a 3atb, allows you to have an extra player that is comfortable going one vs one with a winger, in case the wing back is out of position.

Except he's not. He's usually terrible as cb.Yes we do. Monreal is more of a CB than LB anyway and we'll have Mavro on the bench. Playing four at the back with Kolasinac and Lich/jenko/AMN is **** against Sane and Sterling.
