This lineup is very poor, very poor in quality, we have a chance if we play effectively on the counter but this is a very poor team.

I have realized for sure now Emery's only real failure was this summer in the window. He did not do enough to ensure we had a strong squad for the season in midfield.

It's more than a summer transfer failure. Unai was mentioned playing with confidence. How do you promote confidence within your players when he doesn't have confidence in any system?

[Arsenal Tone]

Is chambers in midfield? Surely its a back five? It should be Luiz with the freedom to push forward, not chambers. Chambers should be there covering at rcb to give bellerin more freedom.

[gooney]

5 defenders vs Vardy. Give up the midfield completely and counter. 5 defenders gives you false sense of security. But we will have very little control of the ball. This is how you set up if you are Granada playing Barcelona. Congrats guys we are officially a small team, truly emered

[elkanofan]

any explanation regarding the line-up? pepe on the bench, ozil become a starter all in a sudden, chambers-torreira-guendouzi midfield, and no tierney?


leicester will rip us apart.

We have a shit squad with very poor midfielders in general. No Xhaka or Ceballos means we need everyone we can get.

Every match day is a damn new lineup and tactics, thats why we aint getting anywhere. Chambers is probably gonna be asked to switch between DM and being a third CB.

Because our squad is shit and horribly balanced, that's why.

You don't get balance by switching formations everyday. It just creates more uncertainty and inconsistency in performances.

If he wants more protection he could easily stick to a 4-2-3-1 and just tell Torriera and Guendouzi to hold and have our fullbacks not bomb forward as often.

In a 4-2-3-1 How the hell are we going to create chances either in possession or even on the counter with:

- Auba out wide who is poor technically out wide and can't dribble round players without just knocking it past them into space?

- Pepe who isn't good enough in open play consistently?

- Ozil who is slow on the ball and can only pass?

and don't even get me started on the lack of protection they will give the defence. The lack of awareness of our players abilities again.

Sorry what you said is not going to work vs Leicester who actually the personnel to play a balanced 4-2-3-1. We are that shit we can't. You just need to get real.

All negatives aside, I still want Emery out, but I'll never wish my club to lose!
Come on Arsenal

Granada play nice football. They also beat Barca this season playing nice football. Barca are pathetic away from home!

Our squad isn't nearly as unbalanced as it was under Wenger yet we did better and played way better football.
Let's also not forget that this was Wenger at it's worst.

I think our squad is easily balanced enough to reach top 4 if not 3rd place this season.

I don’t get where people get this from.
We have been so ugly to watch since the Cesc era ended.
I have been complaining about this same
disjointed, methodical, boring and no direction type of football.
Any team be it a mid-table one would beat us by only applying a bit of intensity, press and fight against us. It had me pulling out my hair consistently. Don’t know how i did not become bald.
