I knew that would happen, i'm not at the game but glad to avoid the shitshow

This obsession with having an app for everything and forcing you to have a smartphone is a blight on society

Trossard should be the first name on the team sheet

Not been since the 2021/2022 season. What is the difference to the system now. Is it all cards ?

I used to just scan my phone

I agree that Trossard should have started but so should Kiwior and Tierney. With Rice and Nketiah dropping to the bench


Partey and Trossard in midfield, Havertz up front

Ok, so why I'm terming it positive is our best players are playing, except for Trossard who is far above every attacker (except for Saka) ATM.

Would I have preferred Partey, playing in his normal position...of course, however he's still on the team sheet and will probably still drift in the middle, especially with the absence of Zinchenko in this team. Of all our starting defenders IMO, Gabriel and White are the weakest, and if I had to pick between 2 of them, I have a soft spot for White so would probably go with him.

It's a positive team because he has set it up to control the game and create and utilise more chances. I like the fact we have 2 forwards which will push Eddie to make the best of what he gets today or Kai will make him look silly.

So yeah, that's why I'm terming it positive, mainly cause our best players are on the field and I think I get what he's trying to do to avoid being overly defensive as we were against Citeh.

Fair enough

Let me explain why I think it’s not positive

Having the best players means nothing if they are playing in the wrong position

Gabriel is unfit? That’s why we have Kiwior. We are expected to play out from the back without a single left footed player


Partey at right back is a travesty makes you wonder what’s the point of having Timber. Who is at left back where he is too defensive to get the ball forward essentially isolating Havertz who lacks the skill set to play LCM…but also isolating martinelli and putting all the pressure on Saka to be our attacking focal point.

Come on you Gunners!

Us. :lol:
