Our first live game on BBC for ages it feels

[themessiah]

.. retaining our record in FA Cup and revenge for Baku

all our defenders are poverty , Mikel will need to stick with 3atb for the final

[Santi]

Easy loss

[BouncySean]

For me
---------------EMI--------
AMN-Rob-Luiz-Kieran-Saka
------Xhaka----Ceballos
Pepe---------Laca----Auba

Feel like it might be Bellerin at RWB and AMN at LWB. What I really don't want to see is Kolasinac on the pitch.

[Callum]

Martinez
Holding - Luiz - Tierney
Bellerin - Ceballos - Xhaka - Maitland-Niles
Pepe - Lacazette - Aubameyang

The only selection I'm not sure about is AMN ahead of Saka, although I think it makes sense to keep in the former after his performance against City and the strength of Chelsea's attack.

Arteta seems to be doing a Martinelli on Saka lately so AMN will start

Downside of playing AMN as a LWB is that he useless in the final third.

Lots of the same players that got humiliated by Chelsea in the Europa league final.
We were very wasteful early on. We could have been ahead in that game but screwed up in front of goal.
Let's hope we are more clinical, because I don;t think we can keep Chelsea out on the evidence of the last 2 weeks.

Our first live game on BBC for ages it feels

Our 3rd round tie home to leeds was the last time

[DiamondGooner]

After what I saw today I don't know what Arteta is going to use a 3-4-3 or a 4-3-3.

We did score 3 goals but one was a penalty, the other from a thrown in, the only one we score from open play was Tierney's and we had at least 2 clear cut chances on goal when we switched to 3-4-3 as well but Nketiah fked it up.

Then there was the opposite end, i just thought we looked really open and a good team will pressure our back 2 when they're trying to play out from the back ............ then Rob Holding happened, which is what I warned about playing from the back with a 2, luckily for us Watford didn't bother pressing us high up most of the game.

Arteta has a big decision to make because both the 3-4-3 and 4-3-3 have completely different tactical uses so I guess he has to decide whether he trusts his players to be able out play Chelsea or if he's going to go the Liverpool, City route and park the bus then hit on the counter?

.......... either way we need to win this.

[Arsenal Tone]

We need to sign a top CB if we're going four at the back.

[Ach]

Liverpool's defence was awful. In came vvd and Alison. Look at them now.

I don't think we need a keeper but we have to go big on a CB and CM

[DiamondGooner]

We need to sign a top CB if we're going four at the back.

We need two proper top CB's, you can't have a weakness in a pair.

Sol Campbell & Toure

Adams & Keown

Koscielny & Vermaelen

So who will we have Saliba and ....... plus Saliba is young and untested in the Prem

[Royal Gooner]

Just watch, we'll win it!
At least our record will remain intact regardless of what happens

[Nuggets]

Not feeling confident at all. just praying they turn up for this and not make us look like plebs.
