Xhaka or Welbeck at left back...

This will be fun

Ramsey captain

But but he isn't important

Who needs agility, acceleration, defensive awareness, mobility, discipline and close control? :arse flag.gif:

So very typical for us to have our first 3 LB options all injured simultaneously.

Hope the decision of using him as LB works out well, somehow.

Hmm, not a bad guess at the team, Ramsay, Welbz and Auba is more attack minded than I anticipated.

He has lost his burst.

Doesn't stop him from still being a very effective dribbler, though.

His close control and the fact that he's comfortable on either foot still make him dangerous.

Needs to be given a yard - get too close and risk getting rinsed.

If anyone is interested in streams, here are some:

http://livetv.sx/enx/eventinfo/699034_sporting_arsenal/ - lots
http://eusportslive.com/sporting-lisbon ... ague/7536/ - only one, but pretty clean
https://livesport.ws/69287-sporting_lisbon-arsenal.html - usually they post clean streams

I can't watch it on tv because I am in Germany (so, only highlights).

Go Gunners!

Surely we have a young LB in the youth teams that can fill in

Piece on Xhaka on BT Sport

He takes all the criticism he got as a positive

I wouldn't worry about Nani, really. The thing with this match is that Sporting thinks Europa League is a big thing, while Arsenal doesn't give a shit. So, it will be about motivation.
