Emery starting Mustafi over Sokratis

This has been us all season ffs

 

[tap-in]

I'm ok with that team. Obviously I'd rather Özil be playing but Mkhi & Iwobi are both good players. Resting Sokratis makes sense as he's just had an injury. Lets hope Laca is on target today, he's had a few misses and needs to be finishing them. Not too bothered with Auba out!

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Oh for the first time we going to wear our Dark Blue away shirt this season.

 

[freeglennhelder2]

Özil has a longstanding back injury. Are we now saying he can’t fly anywhere like DB10 or Mr T?

5 hours isn’t a long flight IMO

That's us screwed then. Blue away shirt always spells trouble. No idea why we do not make the yellow our permanent one.

 

[APierre]

I actually like this line up. Looks way more balanced with Iwobi and Welbeck instead of Özil and Auba.

Because Puma are bunch of c**ts. hope Adidas will make yellow kits next year

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Mkhi and Iwobi killing it against Chelsea away this year also both been decent when they started this year Welbeck too i expect a good performance from these players today that will force Auba and Özil to perform better.

 

[Tosker]

Monreal is in his last year of current contract, and it's beginning to look as if Emery is determined to extract every last drop of his stamina before letting him leave

 

[ThlRama]

I'm very sorry for Özil, but thankfully he has retired from the national team and he'll hopefully be in top form by the end of the break. Loving the line-up, wanted both Iwobi and Welbeck to start, COYG!!

 

[nick gould]

Xhaka is Arsenal Cap today. why not Nacho?

My sentiments exactly.

 

[Defendffs]

This group may have more blind-faith Emery backers. Not that anyone is resisting Emery, just that those who do not see themselves as stars sometimes embrace change faster. Will be interesting to see if this group has any more cohesion with the new ideas from jump. Does feel like Sokratis may be missed though. Leg must not be able to handle a quick turnaround.

Didn’t we win the 2003 FA Cup wearing a blue away kit?

Edit: Just looked it up - we didnt. I swear we won something in the dark blue one

 

[Giroud12]

Its incredible. His constant "illness" is super annoying, its not like were paying him peanuts to play here either.

 

[Giroud12]

Deserved starts for Iwobi and Welbeck who in fairness have been looking very good so far.

 

[celestis]

Don’t mind that selection given the niggles.

Welbeck is as good an option at Auba on the wing sans the goals.

 

[Mraven]

Why no sokratis? Mitrovic will bully Mustafi all game

 

[ptrcopp]

2004 Charity Shield was blue!!

 

[redanddread]

Hope we can keep the winning run going. COYG!

Confidence should be high.

 

[Rimaal]

Risky selction. Hope Fulham play an open game.
