[Tramps_mate]

It's the usual suspects starting

Is that not a good thing?

 

[Lelouch]

I look at our bench and I honestly shed a tear, It's so god damn poor.

 

[MarkHollis]

Is that not a good thing?

It is! Poor choice of words, all is as it should be

 

[Mashtray]

Pitty Xhaka isnt playing, they actually are worse with him in

 

[MarkHollis]

Leno
Mustafi Sokratis Monreal
Maitland-Niles Elneny Guendouzi Kolasinac
Ozil
Lacazette Abau


For those wondering how they'll line up.

Mkhitaryan instead of Aubameyang

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

No idea about this Elneny fella though, saw him play last week but didn't make too much of an impression

Glad that Marco has finally realised he doesn’t need to change the team just for the sake of it. That let him down at times earlier on in the season. Glad Ramsey is missing.

This is probably one of the weakest looking Arsenal teams for a while, my biggest worry is that against Newcastle and West Ham we were so quick out the blocks and good first half, we looked a bit tired second half. If we don’t pace ourselves better against these, they still have the quality to pick us off.

 

[Yorkie89]

They've always been a team that plays nice football but often this season they've had mistakes in them. You never know which Arsenal is gonna turn up and equally you never know which Everton is gonna turn up

You can say that again

 

[MarkHollis]

Hopefully we can give them trouble around the flanks, Mustafi and Kolasinac are hardly known for solid defending

 

[Lelouch]

They played 1 up top against Newcastle but two up-top against us

 

[marnie]

Wonder if we'll have sirens today !

 

[MarkHollis]

They played 1 up top against Newcastle but two up-top against us

I only see one striker in that lineup

 

[Zatara]

We need to score a couple before Auba comes on

Ramsey loves banging them in against us. I’m breathing a bit easier now he’s on the bench.

Nailed on to come on and score a hat-trick, obvs...
