Mustafi hasn't been in training for long since he was at the Confed cup. He'll start once he's up to speed.
Two left backs starting as CB. Risky. Really not sure about Welbeck starting either.
Probably means that Gabriel is off.
Don't see why Per couldn't play - his injury seemed entirely superficial.
Apart from that it's the best lineup available. Iwobi needs to work on his end product before he can claim a regular starting place.
Koscielny suspended, Mertesacker Cahilled, Gabriel injured and Mustafi not 100% after just returning to training.
At the least do some basic research before resorting to self-harming FFS.
They should all be back next week (apart from Koscielny).
Monreal has been outstanding at both LB and CB so the only risk is Kolasinac.
5-1. Welbeck hat-trick.
True though Welbeck's overall play is a lot better and he makes the team tick a lot better. Guaranteed starter for me as long as he's fit.
Fuck Theo though. We all know he's only starting to play well because he finally realises that his place in the squad is under threat now. Completely selfish player ..... we've all been here before with him.
LACAZETTE!
