The Arsenal v Man Ure, Sunday 3 September 2023, 16.30

[Mac76]

My lineup against united:


.................... Rams (until we see Raya).......

White.......Saliba.......Gabriel................ Zin

......Odegaard.........Partey............Rice

.......Saka,...........Eddie.........Trosaard

I would have loved to start Viera, and probably still could, if i went for 3 defenders like Arteta might still do, but I feel these are our best players and though some like Odegaard have not done enough to deserve to start, I'd still persist.

Viera definitely comes in as the 1st sub once we have the advantage or if its still looking like a draw.

Well you've left Havertz out which is a good start, but the trouble with the rest is that Rice will have to spend all his time trying to clean up after Zin when he makes a mess

And I'm not sold on the whole Rice+Partey idea, I don't get why we would play two DMs especially in a home match, we need more creativity there

I think if you take Partey out and have Vieira in left 8, plus of course swap Zin for Kiwior, it's a better balance
