I'm a huge Xhaka fan but he needs to step up or he'll find himself on the bench.

it sucks when the back 6 except AMN dribble with 2 left feet..Bellerin is only good for his speed

this doesnt get fixed by hiring a new coach

Ozil has ruined at least 10 attacks

Yea give me Torriera and Guendouzi over Xhaka until Xhaka proves he's worth starting again.


We should have scored a couple goals today but our final ball and our shots have just been off.

IMO Mhki should not be starting at Arsenal. It's insane how far he's falling in quality since his second to last and last season at Dortmund. He was a waste today.

Give me:

Auba-Laca
Ozil
Guendouzi-Torreira-Ramsey
Monreal-Sokratis-Mustafi-Bellerin

Xhaka and Mhki off the bench.

Mikhi shouldn't start in your opinion but Ozil should? How on earth did you came with that conclusion? Ozil and Xhaka were the biggest flops today. I've never seen more lazy player than Ozil. Sokratis useless, Mustafi as well. Lichsteiner must start. Overall, we are short in quality and we saw that today. Top 4 is far away with this game. With teams like this City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and United we have no fricking chance. Let's just hope that we'll win Europa League and then play in the Champions League.

Although, i'm not hating, i'm just giving my opinion and trying to be realistic. Thanks.

I didn't think we played that bad today. The first goal sucked, but you had a young player take a bad angle and cech really should have saved that. Still made some good saves later.

We had our chances, plus mustafi got fricking clothes lined in the box. But leave it up to Oliver to miss that.

And I like seeing xhaka getting subbed, Wenger never would have done that. Wenger always has a few guys he never seemed to take out if they were healthy.

start guendouzi and torierra

if we are going to play out of the back so much, start leno

laca and auba can clearly play together

figure out your LB situation with the injuries

get more from Ozil and Mhiki

this team can play well and win some games. it’s going to take time but I’m super impressed with the young guys in the midfield that played today. think both of them are going to be excellent players.

I do think we lack a playmaker out wide so it will be interesting to see how the attack plays going forward from here, if auba is shifted to the left. once we play a few more games and this midfield starts to gel, I think it will be a real strength of this team.

really like Lichsteiner and what he brings, a bit of nastiness and veteran presence we haven’t seen out of this team the past few years.

It’ll take some time but I think Emery has these guys trending in the right direction.

I agree with everything you said. Start Lacazette over one of either Ozil or Mhiki.

Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina is expected in Rome tonight ahead of his proposed loan move to Napoli, Sky in Italy understand.

The Colombia international will undergo a medical tomorrow. Napoli will have a right to buy Ospina at the end of the loan.

Nacho started training this week. Probably a little short on match fitness to start against Chelsea though.

“For Saturday, the decision for me is easy. Petr Cech can continue to start the match, I believe in him.


What do you think about this? Personally, i also think Cech had a good game against City but he does not fit in Emery's tactics. He almost scored an own goal. He's simply not good enough with his feet. Emery should change his tactics about starting the attack from the CB's if he wants to play Cech as a No.1, otherwise, he must play Leno.

You're absolutely right. He needs to either change it up a bit and let Cech play it long or play Leno. If you take Cech's distribution out of the equation he was really good and made some important saves against City. But at Cech's age I don't see him all of a sudden becoming great with the ball at his feet.

I'm not sure what Emery is doing here. No Ramsey or Torreira. Laca on the bench too after we looked so good with him on the field.

I’d love to know why Torreira and Laca are still on the bench while Xhaka & Mkhi still get the start.
Iwobi starting surprised me more than the others though. Glad to finally see the GOAT Nacho Monreal
