    Quick question, I wasn't to sure but who started as our CF on Saturday.....was it Trossard or Merino? And if it was Trossard does that mean Arteta is thinking of playing him in that role against Real?

    It appeared to be, I’d have personally shifted him and Sterling around but he scored and Sterling was predictably useless so there we go

    Useless apart from providing the good assist to Trossard

    He found Trossard who was in space to his left because he didn’t have the legs to take the ball any further himself

    And constantly throughout the game lacked the ability to beat his man

    Just seen an article asking why Raheem Sterling wasn't included in Arsenal's training session for the Madrid game (asking was he injured and will he be in the squad for the match) erm there's a very good reason for this he is SUSPENDED... https://tbrfootball.com/exceptional-...-madrid-clash/

    The article also talks about starting Trossard ahead of Merino and pointing out this makes our front 3 more interchangeable, something I hadn't considered.

    The problem is we've done this in the past and if IIRC that interchangeable just means no one is ever in the box when we play balls in there.

    I wouldn’t play Merino or Trossard up front both are non starters.

    I’d play Nwaneri up front or failing that Saka
