Arsenal (A) 17/8: Build-Up & Match Thread

[Tony Towner]

100% ready Cunha not starting. Hwang as the 10, Bellegarde on the right

Bellegarde.... just what we need.

 

[Johnny75]

No Lima either. No chance to substitute the worst player in the PL.

 

[Jack Regan]

Yep whenever O'Neil says someone injured is fine they never play.

 

[Tony Towner]

I like the formation without Doherty, Toti, Bellegarde and Hwang with *against Mosquera and Strand Larsen.
Put in Semedo and Cunha, sign a starting calibre centre half and right forward and I think we'd have a decent starting 11.

I appreciate that's a bit, if my aunty had...

Well at least we can do the first part you mention

 

[Dire Wolf]

I may downgrade my prediction from 3-0 to 4-0.

 

[Jinky]

Aaaaaaaaaaall together now…

“FFS”

 

[The Bear]

I reckon it'll be more like a 4-3-3 with Bellegarde as the most attacking midfielder. Which to be fair was his best position historically at Strasbourg.

Three in midfield to try and control that area of the pitch. Hwang will probably be off the left and Rodrigo off the right.

Agreed.

I think I’ll take the routine 3-0 defeat now

Martinelli against Doc will be fun, probably preferable to Trossard though I'd say.

 

[AndyWolves]

It's a naive line up for me from Gary. 3 ATB would have been better with Bellegarde making way for Dawson or Bueno.

Perhaps he sees it as a hiding to nothing.

 

[Tony Towner]

No such thing

Agreed. He has form for this though whereas under Nuno we'd pack the rearguard and still lose. I can see another Brighton type 6-0 hammering on the cards here given what I saw in the pre-season games and the gaps and spaces we left. I don't think we have enough up top to score 7 though.

Google has it as 3ATB

Can’t remember the last time he didn’t reintroduce a player coming back from injury as a sub first, honestly.

With doc as RCB?

 

[Alan]

Won’t happen but fuck me would a win be nice to lighten the mood around here
