[Santi]

can't start nelson vs kicktheshitoutofeveryone FC


not for his first PL start, come on. He's gonna be amazing but needs to get some easier experience and bulk up before he's starting v the likes of Stoke and Wilkinson/Shawcross.

[BexleyGooner]

Think Alexis will be fit

Cech; Mustafi, Nacho, Kolasinac; Bellerin, Xhaka, Ramsey, Ox; Özil, Lacazette, Alexis

He'll be at PSG by Saturday

[Massa]

I like our 343. And our Xhaka-Ramsey pivot will boss midfields this season

Wilkinson retired 18 months ago mate

[Callum]

enough of this 3-5-2 nonsense already,

Martinez
Bellerin - Mustafi - Monreal - Kolasinac
Coq - Ramsey
Ox - Iwobi - Nelson
Lacazette

keep ozil, xhaqa, holding, elneny and welbeck on the bench after that last game, put them back in for Liverpool depending on how they do as a sub (and how their replacements do)
we shouldn't be afraid to put underperforming players on the bench

WTF!

Martinez ain't even here and don't get me started on that calamity of a midfield.

I'd go

Cech
Holding. - Mertesacker - Monreal
Ox. Kolasinac
Ramsay. Xhaka
Ozil. Iwobi
Lacazette

[Mike Dean]

Cech
Mustafi Mertesacker Monreal
Oxlade Xhaka Ramsey Kolasinac
Özil
Lacazette Giroud

This would work.

I would go with that.

If Alexis is available then split the time between Giroud and Alexis. Ease him back in after the injury.

[rewb1]

think welbeck needs to play, giroud never plays well vs stoke. giroud needs to come on as a sub.

it's about sending a message bro

[Kite33]

--------------------Cech---------------------
-----Holding--Per/Shk--Monreal-----

Oxlade--Ramsey--Xhaka--Kolasinac

Iwobi-----------Giroud--------Lacazette

Ospina, Bellerin, Coquelin, Elneny, Ozil, Walcott, Welbeck

This would be my team too. Very good

The only message that line up sends is 'Abandon ship as we don't know what the f**k we're doing any more'

[rewb1]

merte needs to play in this game because of his height

[arsenalpan]

Considering current situation, the only argument would be if Giroud should start or not. All other positions are as firm as a rock.

3 CBs: Holding---Monreal---Mert/Mustafi(whoever fit)

RWB--OX. we don't have any other choice. Bellerin is not a RWB.
LWB--Kolasinac. Same as OX. The only LWB we have.
2 CMs-- Ramsey, Xhaka. Sanchez is not available. We need extra power in the box. So Ramsey has to start.
Ozil Laca and Iwobi/Nelson. 3-4-3 means a lot passing and running and the front 3 have to have enough skill and football intelligence. Welbeck and Walcott are not for 3-4-3

Morning chief,

Just wondering, are we allowed to play the victim card like you do every season come this fixture? Especially as your new 'hero' wrecked the career of ours:
http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/ ... l-10992562
Just wondering if it's only Arsenal and Wenger who can be whiney manipulative swines, or can we join the party? Guess he's just not that kind of player

And btw bud, Wilko retired a while ago now, and had barely played for about 12 months before his retirement because of concussion after a clash of heads.

To everyone else, good luck for the rest of the season (after Saturday ), looking forward to a decent game this weekend. Can't really honestly back us considering the massive overhaul that's gone on in the last 12 months, so you'll probably end up beating us, but I doubt it'll be quite as easy as last seasons battering you gave us. Could be a close game, but we lack any kind of attacking threat, so your pretty ropey defence will be in for an easier time than against Leicester.

[Va-Va-Voom]

Lol, he literally just bumped into him from behind. A nothing challenge.
