Undoubtedly the worst midfield I've ever seen.

You're begging to be raped.

Not me, I'll just be watching!

See Trumps tweeted, 'Get ready Russia, my Arsenal will be coming, nice and new and smart.'

Had no idea he was a Gooner.

Important that the main boys Welbeck and Elneny delivers tonight.

Proper men’s teams like CSKA and Leipzig. None of these fancy dans like Real Madrid or Bayern.

Proper British like Aldi, you can keep your poncey Waitrose thank you very much.

Aldi is German. They're just waiting to beat you on penalty kicks.

That's look 4-4-2 diamond but I'm sure Özil and welbeck on wings as inside forwards

 

[field442]

As expected. The best team we can put out.

Mertesacker, Holding, Chambers and Kolasinac all on the bench...not sure what Jack has done recently to merit a start either

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Our bench got 4 defenders why we left Nelson at home

No other options we got really.

I think at this point he's playing him in the hope of getting him to sign.

Well if Wilshere is playing again I hope he ups his game, no sloppy passing to CSKA players. We should have this in the bag but you never know as we've seen this week.

Nelson and even Willock would be more useful than Mertesacker imo

Yes agree about this don't understand why he didn't took one of them

Wenger masterclass coming. Gonna throw 3 defenders on at 70 minute.

Jokes on you. Can’t be beaten on penalties by Germany if you don’t qualify.

 

[MutableEarth]

Wenger's a weirdo

The first XI is pretty good IMO but that bench . Nelson travels but doesn't make the bench in place of 4 defenders.

Nelson and even Willock would be more useful than Mertesacker imo

100 percent agreed. But hey, maybe those defenders will be useful when we're clinging on to a lead in the last 20 mins because we invited pressure or something .

Hope this XI spanks CSKA again in the first half.

Ramsey aside that midfield is proper Europa level. Wilshere is only playing as we have no-one else. Depressing as to how much improvement this squad needs.

I like that Elneny clearly loves the club but Fabo nailed it when he called him and Coq a Saint Etienne midfield.
