Arsenal v Man City, Premier League, Sunday 12 August, 16.00 BST

[Mac76]

Can't believe it's not already been put up, c'mon guys, start of a bright new Wengerless season and all that...

So, as the PL starts in the holiday season when people are, err, on holiday (ffs) i won't be watching live, which is a f**k as i really think we could start with a win if we can only keep things calm at the back.

My prediction is 2-1, Auba and Laca with one each

Views?

[Marc Overmars]

Football doesn’t really excite me as much as it used to and now the old goat has gone I can see it wasn’t just his continuing presence either tbh. Having said that, I’m definitely intrigued to see how this season pans out and maybe with the sense of unpredictability that excitement will soon come rushing back.

I reckon we’ll scrape ourselves a draw in this which would be fine really.

1-1.

[GP]

2-0

Aubangarang

[dostoy]

It is a tradition now that Spuds win away and Arsenal lose at home in the first fixture of the season.

I can hope all I like but it will not change.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We won at home first fixture of the season last year.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

I think we should accept the back line is dysfunctional and play a 3 central core/5man backline to help them all out. Width obviously from the wing backs who are young and have bags of energy, stamina and speed (I think Bell is still quick???).

Guendouzi is young, but he has every pass in his locker, likes a foot in and plays progressively. If he isn't ready to be part of the squad then send him out on loan. He's been heavily involved in preseason and it's a brave new world for them all so just throw him in. Hell it was this time last season Xhaka was setting up the oppositions forward anyway. For that reason, if Ramsey isn't ready, I'd play him.

Ramsey and Ozil can swap positions sensibly when needed.

Ozil in the middle to do his floaty hipster thing.... when bellerin goes forward AMN can slip inside to help the lucas-Guen duo if needed....Auba can provide extra width simultaneously or when needed.

Bit of a risky approach, but there is no selection or formation combination that heavily swings the outcome of the game in our favour, so just go for it with caution I say.

--------------Cech --------------

-----Mustafi---Sok---Mav--------

Bell---Torreira----Ramsey---AMN

---------------Ozil-------------------

-------Lacazette---Auba------------

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

What I found interesting is, when asked....Guardiola said that Emery would play 4231 instantly as a matter of fact. Suppose it's no surprise, but Guardiola obviously knows him well.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

So I think he will play the following if all are fit...


--------------Cech --------------

Bell----Mustafi----Sokratis---AMN

--------Torreira---Xhaka ----------

Ozil---------Ramsey--------Aubam

------------Lacazette --------------

[Mac76]

--------------Cech --------------

--------Torreira---Xhaka ----------

Ozil---------Ramsey--------Aubam

------------Lacazette --------------

Yes my feeling is it'll look like that but with a 'spine' that goes through Ramsey, Xhaka and Mustafi, Torreira and Sokratis may have a lot of work to do...

[Globalgunner]

Sure hope Bellerin has refound his mojo. I have nightmares of Sane tearing him a new one on that our right wing.
2-2 well fought draw

That’s what I think he’ll go with, or possibly the same thing with Auba up top and either Mkhitaryan, Iwobi or maybe even Welbeck on the left, depending on how he wants to balance that side.

Honestly, the thought of Mustafi at CB turns my bowels to ice, so I’m just praying to Dennis that Torreira takes absolutely no time to settle in...

I read he wasn't keen on Welbeck and we're just running down his contract which i really hope is true and that he'only get FLC appearances

As for Mustaphi, IKR, but they've been working very hard on defence so we can only hope for an improvement

[I am invisible]

To be fair, Emery pretty much announced that to the world in one of his first interviews, so it’s not really a secret. But I don’t doubt that Pep had already done his research and worked it out for himself.

I guess if Ramsey starts in the middle of the 3 then you could just as easily view it as 433 as 4231? There’s really not much in it. And if he starts as one half of the 2 in front of the defence then it could very easily become a 4141?

Welbeck needs to rebrand himself, fast, if he wants a future here, because he’s not getting a sniff as a CF (for club or country).

I don’t know... as it stands, I’m really not fussed if he just fades into the background and disappears... but I’d also love for him to surprise me, and show that he can be effective as a hard-working winger / wide forward in a high press. There’s a vacancy there (maybe even a couple of vacancies), and no one has really staked an undisputed claim for it yet, so we can only really win at this point? If it works out, then great! If it doesn’t, well it’s not like we’ve missed out on a fee, because no one made us an offer for him anyway - just don’t offer him a new deal.

[AFC Leveller]

Emery's sides tend to come out strong for home games and really take it to the opposition. im excited to see what this new regime has to offer,its all new and fresh and we have nothing to lose.

2-2.

[Penguin]

We've been all over the place defensively in preseason so I'm expecting us to lose this. It'll take time for Emery's training to take effect and I don't know if Emery has even figured out the best formation and XI to go with yet. I'm hoping we put up a good fight at least.

2-1 to City.

I meant that Guardiola was pressed on what he thought Emery would do in the game against us specifically ....not necessarily what Emery's general formation of choice was, though clearly that is what Guardiolas answer is informed from.

I agree though..... 4231 is just a 433 with added detail about the middle 3 and how they are to operate to my little brain.

[Özim]

No real expectations for this game or indeed this season. At best we'll get a draw today I think, but probably expecting us to lose. As for the season, not expecting anything of Emery, after 22 years of one manager and with very little real investment in the team (and not real top signings), whatever happens happens, it will probably take him a year or two to mould things to his liking and change everything about Wengers reign, there's a lot of bad habits and methods to change, as well as the mentality of course.

As I said 6/10 for transfers, not enough investment and other than Torreira the signings are gambles, the lack of a top CB is a worry, could have made all the difference, lack of a winger is also of concern, we really needed one. Could have tried to get Gelson Martins, he was available on a free.

Keeping situation will concern me if Leno doesn't start today, he's not a kid (26) and he's wasnt cheap, he 100% should be number or it will be very strange, would suggest we've signed a keeper which we don't fully trust ability wise as Cech is past is and not world class anymore, hasn't been anywhere near as good since his head injury to be honest.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'd like to see some professionalism defending mainly.

Saw one of the clips last season against Leicester away.

Mustafi leaves his man alone in the box for some reason just to go off chasing the ball that he gets nowhere near. :doh:

[Master Splinter]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DkZ34BCW4AA-coS.jpg:large

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Guendouzi. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh: Ederson, Walker, Stones, Laporte, Mendy, Fernandinho, Bernado Silva, Gundogan, Mahrez, Sterling, Aguero.

[Master Splinter]

Feels like a pretty conservative team in every way.

But it's only fair to see what happens on the actual pitch before making sweeping judgements.

Cech though FFS.

[Power n Glory]

Really not sure about that cental midfield but it's a good test to see how much discipline we have.

[Goonermerree]

I wanted to see Torreira play. Hope he gets on as a sub.

[Goonermerree]

Guendouzi, who is he, where did we get him from?

Just looked him up, he's a baby but getting a game. Is he good?

[hobson's choice]

So just the same ole central attacking players convention,and shoe horning Ramsey and Xhaka in the lineup.

He'll learn:doh:

[Power n Glory]

Guendouzi, who is he, where did we get him from?

He's good. Impressive during the preseason. Massive test for him to today.

[dostoy]

Cech in goal and Torreira on the bench.

OMG !!!!!

[Goonermerree]

He's good. Impressive during the preseason. Massive test for him to today.

I was away during the pre -season matches so it will be good to see our new signings and how they work with our old crew.

[Goonermerree]

I think we have a good attack now, not sure about midfield, but they have the ability, defence worries me a lot today. When you look at the attacking force of City, it's scary.

[SMatthews]

Cech in goal and Torreira on the bench.

OMG !!!!!

Torreira should be in goal and Cech on the bench!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gary Neville co-commentating. :sick:

[Goonermerree]

I think he's a bit too short for that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neville is out of sync. :lol:

Geraint Thomas. :bow:

[Goonermerree]

[Goonermerree]

Oh, now I see why. I'm on a lagging stream for sure

[Goonermerree]

Twenty minutes to KO a new dawn begins. Come on Arsenal.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Guendouzi isn’t in the sun dream team either. I emailed them to say he would be starting regularly this season and they said they don’t expect him to play much.

Didn’t do their research then :rolleyes:

[SMatthews]

Lot of beards in that City frontline

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everybody on the rival supporters forums having problems spelling Guendouzi. :lol:

[Goonermerree]

City's bench is insane.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Guendouzi pubs it out of play.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey goes for the outside of his boot, why?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Send him off!

[Goonermerree]

I'm only two minutes behind.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sterling booked.

[Goonermerree]

Bad tackle no yellow!!!

[Goonermerree]

Cech is looking a bit dithery when he has he ball at his feet.

[Master Splinter]

Everybody on the rival supporters forums having problems spelling Guendouzi. :lol:

People still can't spell Wiltshore.

[Goonermerree]

A bit rusty they said about Sterling's tackle. No, bad tackle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh Xhaka.

[Goonermerree]

I like Douzi's hair.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cech parries Walker's cross.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Cech on Sterling, should've gone with his right foot really.

[Globalgunner]

Mustafi.......why is he still here?
Xhaka too

[Özim]

Disappointing team selection, no Lacazette who's a goalscorer and Xhaka, Mustafi and Cech included, would have wanted Xhaka nowhere near the team and Leno to be picked.

Mustafi done by Sterling who gets close to scoring.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Not the most promising start.

If City don’t score soon, they may get frustrated.

If they do, it could be a butt kicking

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stones brought Ramsey down surely?

[SMatthews]

[SMatthews]

No

At least saying yes would’ve been a positive post.

Butt kicking about to commence.

[hobson's choice]

So We are playing this lineup to appease Ramsey. This club, smh

[Özim]

Bellerin and Guendouzi done by Sterling as he scores.

[Power n Glory]

:doh:

[Goonermerree]

The defence just let him go for it there.

[Özim]

The guy shouldn't be picked unless he signs a contract to be honest, sends out the wrong message.

[Goonermerree]

From the back of our goal it looks like one of our players just moved out of the way to let the ball pass him.

[Penguin]

Xhaka dropped back all the way next to our CBs for some reason. That's why Sterling had so much space after he skipped past Guendouzi.

Fucking idiot.

[Özim]

Fucking idiot.

He's a waste of space, why he would be anywhere near the 1st team is beyond me, he's talentless.

[Goonermerree]

The guy shouldn't be picked unless he signs a contract to be honest, sends out the wrong message.

I agree with that, like Sanchez last year, only he had the chance to leave at the end of August.

[Xhaka Can’t]

The guy shouldn't be picked unless he signs a contract to be honest, sends out the wrong message.

You are confusing the word wrong with accurate.

[Özim]

Expected us to at best get a draw but Man City are like the home team at the moment.

[Goonermerree]

We have good players in attack, but we just don't get the ball to them.

[Özim]

We have good players in attack, but we just don't get the ball to them.

To be honest why Torreira isn't playing I don't know as well.

Just checking the score and find us 1-0 down with Toreirra left on the bench - wtf!?

Emery out! :doh::doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bellerin blasts it but straight at Ederson.

Got to give the guy a chance, but he's not helping himself with this strange team selection, I'm confused by it tbh.

Cech almost kicks the ball into his own net under no pressure and give a corner in the end., the guy is awful, why are we not playing Leno.

Xhaka has already cost us one goal and is trying his best to give City another.

I'm looking at Emery. Is he going to respond to this or not?

All of our defenders just stood watching Cech make that double save whilst 3 City attackers reacted

Silky skills

Emery communicating with players to tell them what he wants them to do on the touch line.

Love it

[Goonermerree]

Our defence is crap

[Power n Glory]

Emery has to see that Xhaka can't play football. He has to see that you can't play Ramsey in the middle either. We can't get out of our own half.

If that were true we’d be down by more than 1.

Ozil poor ball.

The lack of hunger on the pitch is disappointing, would have expected the players to want to impress a new manager, seems to be not the case. City should be out of site, we've been lucky.

[Goonermerree]

We don't look comfortable on the ball, we lack a bit of confidence.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Anyone know what Ramsey is doing?

If Ramsey doesn’t, then there isn’t much hope for us

[Özim]

If that were true we’d be down by more than 1.

He almost kicked it into his own net and has kicked poorly numerous times, making saves isn't the only criteria for a good performance, besides City missed chances they should have scored.

[Globalgunner]

Is this the Pool West ham game on replay?

Whatever we have been doing in training with playing it out from the back. Its not working. All we do is give City the ball in our 3rd.

[fakeyank]

Cech is not the GK that's going to help you move the ball out of the back. Shocking performance so far.

Ozil doing his fraud routine as usual.

[Özim]

To be honest Liverpool beat City 3 times last season by pressurising them and attacking them, as did Man U, not picking Lacazette, Torreira (and Leno IMO) was a very poor decision IMO. The only way you'll beat City is by giving them no time on the ball.

[Xhaka Can’t]

That is because they are on another level to us.

Years of decline will do that to you.

[Goonermerree]

Probably because they are. We were more than 30 points behind them last season, the new signings are not going to bridge that gap any time soon

Outclassed and lack of desire alarming.

Emery seems like one of these smarty artys book nerds with no street smarts or much common sense.

[Power n Glory]

! of Ozil or Ramsey needs to be taken off. Xhaka needs an Uber to Heathrow. Shit midfield

Ramsey has been given a license to just bomb forward and that means one less player in the midfield. Guendouzi is doing what he can to press and has won the ball back but Xhaka is a liability.

Only two subs left. Ramsey and Xhaka off for Torreira and Lacazette. Move Ozil back to the 10 role. Ozil seems to be helping to defend and has played some smart passes.

[Gooner23]

Come on Arsenal, we're still in this. With Lichsteiner on now we look more solid on the left. Just need the forward players to step it up, we have the quality to cause them problems.

It’s gonna take time to get us back into shape. A handful of preseason games isn’t going to be enough.
Ozil needs to be sold, he’s not even trying ffs, along with Xhaka.

Their goal was a poor mistake by us but we already look better than we did last season.

Emery needs to sort the line up out for next week though, leave the dross out of it.

We will be ok eventually. We can still get something out of this game I think but it’s going to be tough

Agree, really poor selection, was listening to the last half an hour of first half and the usual suspects were letting us down once again

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You're not that far behind.

[Goonermerree]

All my streams are crashing.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

So when does Xhakas improvement begin under this regine?

[Goonermerree]

OK, I cannot get my stream back up or new ones, anyone have a link?

[Master Splinter]

If you want to play consistently out from the back, it would maybe help starting a keeper who's confident on the ball.

Guendouzi, despite his part in the goal, has looked the most composed player. Not afraid or technically sloppy like the vastly more experienced guys ahead of him.

Sokratis has been fine so far.

We're still creating some half-decent chances as Citeh are often just as guilty of overcomplicating it at the back. But the pre-match consensus of Cech and Xhaka being a continuous hindrance and going into the match with a quite conservative team seems to be playing out as you'd fear.

Only a Mustafi self-destruction hasn't occurred yet.

[selassie]

Ramsey might as well be playing as striker.

He is. He’s nothing more than a budget version of Lampard or Gerrard and not in their prime either.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Power n Glory]

So when does Xhakas improvement begin under this regine?

It doesn't matter how you play him, who he is played with, he can't cope with team that press and even if he could, there is nothing to his game that suggest he's a key player.

[Globalgunner]

He is. He’s nothing more than a Poundland version of Lampard or Gerrard and not in their prime either. .......and he thinks he is from Waitrose

[Power n Glory]

Lacazette is needed for those counter attack moments. Mkhitaryan has been disappointing as well.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aguero shot deflects.

[Power n Glory]

Why is Xhaka defending so deep and running alongside our CB's on the defensive line?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I wonder how Emery will change it? Will we have to wait until 70 mins for a sub?

Lacazette already involved. Dum not to start him in the 1st play, likewise Torreira.

[Goonermerree]

Has anyone got a good stream? Please.

[Globalgunner]

He’ll be a starter all season with Xhaka

We`re doomed in that case.

[SMatthews]

Steiner is a scrote

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Simulation. :haha:

Fuck off Tyler.

Mahrez hauled off, De Bruyne on.

[Goonermerree]

Debruyne coming on, arghh.

[Penguin]

[Xhaka Can’t]

I’ve just noticed that we have “Visit Rwanda” on our sleeves.

Rotten lot, GIVE ME A LINK all reddit ones keep crashing.
Oops thanks Penguin.

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cech saves Guendouzi's arse!

[SMatthews]

Rubbish from Cech

[Goonermerree]

:lol:

That's a good stream, thanks.

[SMatthews]

Good marking

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 Bernardo Silva.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Cech being shite again

It's my favourite shithole country #trump

[Power n Glory]

It's over

[Özim]

2-0

[SMatthews]

Old man Steiner’s arthritis kicking in there

[Globalgunner]

New season...same crap. Why cant we do that to other teams?

[Mac76]

That's done it

Us ... :pal:

[Penguin]

Space in front of our defense again. Xhaka nowhere to be seen.

Torreira would surely have been patrolling these areas for both goals if he'd been playing.

[Xhaka Can’t]

2-0

That decision has nothing at all to do why we are losing.

Nothing.

At.

All.

[SMatthews]

I can’t believe Emery’s still our manager

[Goonermerree]

The defence should have been the first thing to get right, and we didn't.

[Goonermerree]

That decision has nothing at all to do why we are losing.

Nothing.

At.

All.

Do enlighten us.

[Xhaka Can’t]

In all seriousness.

One thing the opening weekend has demonstrated.

Football is one fucking dull sport.

[hobson's choice]

Arteta having a good laugh inside his head atm

[Xhaka Can’t]

Do enlighten us.

Him not being to blame for either goal. Preventing at least another two.

[Goonermerree]

I must have missed earlier posts as that makes no sense.

[Power n Glory]

Zette is class. Great touch. Ozil. :doh:

[Penguin]

Ozil :doh:

[Globalgunner]

Ozil really is the weiner they say he is

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka hauled off, Torreira on.

[Penguin]

Xhaka hauled off, Torreira on.

Bit late for that.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I must have missed earlier posts as that makes no sense.

If you explain what the fuck you are talking about.

That could help

[Goonermerree]

When did Lichsteiner come on? And Torreria coming on they say. Yay

[Özim]

Xhaka off for Torreira. About 70 odd minutes late.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Guendouzi. :haha:

[Power n Glory]

Xhaka off. I pray Emery has seen the error of his way because he's taken off two of the key culprits.

[Goonermerree]

If you explain what the fuck you are talking about.

That could help

No need to get nasty, I don't know who the 'he' is as I must have missed the earlier conversation.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Ozil really is the weiner the say he is

Yeah. I’m really enjoying how he is now totally dedicated to proving himself now he is committed only to Arsenal.

[Penguin]

At least Emery's subbing off the right players. Wenger would have let Xhaka finish the game.

[selassie]

The defence should have been the first thing to get right, and we didn't.

We brought in washed up over 30’s that nobody wanted to touch. Beggars can’t be choosers and all that.

[SMatthews]

Arteta having a good laugh inside his head atm

Classic bantz on the phone with Wenger tonight

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne booked.

[Xhaka Can’t]

No need to get nasty, I don't know who the 'he' is as I must have missed the earlier conversation.

Sorry.

[AFC Leveller]

A bit unlucky with that Laca strike but we have been second best. The effort is there though and I think we will make progress.

[fakeyank]

Ozil is absolute shit. Get rid asap!

With that contract, ASAP will be as soon as it completely runs out

[Goonermerree]

Sorry.

S'OK

I was just going to post that. We were well and truly taken to the cleaners with that.

Mkhitaryan and Ozil have been shite. Mkhitaryan has been the worst of the two.

[Goonermerree]

I didn't think we'd win, but I had hoped we'd get a goal as I think we have some good attacking players. Still time for that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aguero off, Jesus on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mesut scuffer.

[fakeyank]

Mkhi is non existant but ozil is stinking anything that goes to him. I have seen plenty of bad games from this fraud but today is some next level shit. If he gets more than a 1 rating for this game, itll be a travesty to football reporting.
