Arsenal teams and Formations

Strong lineup he's gone with, looks like he's taking it seriously, hopefully we build up some form and confidence.

Pleased with the strong team selection - we are taking every cup seriously

Martinez; Luiz, Sokratis, Holding; Nelson, Guendouzi, Xhaka, Kolasinac; Ozil, Pepe; Lacazette.

Nice to see Boss! 🤞

Would love to see this.

Lemar Dembele Pepe

Ozil

Cash in on the unhappy PEA and Laca while we can get some decent money.

Think it's a better balance - question is, would they work hard enough to suit Mikel's Arsenal vision. certainly gives us better width and allows players to be in their natural position.

Then we use the money to sort out our RB issue while we ride out the CD issue until the summer.

Holding and Mavropanos should be fit pretty soon so as everyone is stating with Papa, Luiz and Mustafi as experienced CDs are available plus the excellent Medley. No point being heavy on CDs with Saliba arriving in the summer. Clearly we don't know Mikel's plans for Papa, Chambers, Mavropanos, Luiz, Mustafi etc in the summer. If he wants a clear out then I would support getting a CD in now so they are ready for 20/ 21 season,

What's clear is we need a special striker who will get 20 plus epl goals a season. We need fast tricky hard working wingmen, a special creator like Ozil plus a CM who can spray the ball around. This needs to be built on an organised defence.

May be the big issue is to sort out PEA and
Laca rather than our CDs as an organised team means we can cope better.

Getting ready to roar on the team today. Defeat must be avoided. Hopefully, Bellerin, Sokratis, Holding and Ceballos will be available, as we desperately need fresh legs.
Leno
Bellerin Holding Sokratis AMN
Torreira Xhaka
Pepe Ceballos Aubameyang
Lacazette.

Two extremely tough home matches in succession. The team will need the fans, so it's time to do our bit.
Hopefully, some of our injured players will be returning: Bellerin, Holding and Ceballos. I would like to see Pepe given a start. My team, assuming players selected are fit:
Leno
Bellerin Holding Luiz AMN
Torreira Ceballos Xhaka
Pepe Lacazette Aubemeyang.

Not my choice, but impressed by Arteta and he will have my full support. Interesting to see if the team are lifted by having him watching from the stands today. I eagerly anticipate seeing his first team selection, presumably this will not be today.
It's going to be difficult over the Christmas period, with both LB's out, possibly Bellerin and Holding missing today.
My team:
Leno
Mustafi Sokratis Luiz AMN
Torreira Xhaka
Pepe Ozil Martinelli
Aubameyang.

We desperately need a win v West Ham. After which we have a vital EL match, where defeat could see us eliminated, then Man City at home and a resurgent Everton away.
V West Ham:
Leno
Bellerin Sokratis Luiz Kolasinac
Torreira Xhaka
Pepe Guendouzi Aubameyang
Lacazette

I had four difficult choices:
Luiz or Holding
Kolasinac or Tierney
Pepe or Martinelli
Guendouzi or Willock

I hate saying i& I will get absolutely slaughtered, but if we lose this match and we can't get a top experienced manager in, Wenger until the end of the season.

Luiz or Holding + easy decision. NEVER Luiz
Kolasinac or Tierney - Tierney
Pepe or Martinelli - freddie got this right. Both and drop Laca as poor lately and PEAwasted out wide
Guendouzi or Willock - no, need creativity in my book. Ozil or Ceballos when returns


Give up on Luiz bud. He’s useless and has always divided opinion even in a winning side. Terrible signing just terrible. Up there with the worst defender signings we’ve made in last 25 years. Useless defending, lazy, disorganised, swans off upfront and plays terrible Hollywood passes.
