PL | Watford vs Arsenal | Sunday, 16:30 BST | Sky Sports

[Tir Na Nog]

Actually in tears. Great team selection.

Your boy isn't there tho....

Özil in a nutshell.....legacy stats and distant memories....I’m not sure he even exists at this point...it’s a all going to be revealed as massive tax avoidance scam by Arsenal FC

 

[Trilly]

Your boy isn't there tho....

Now that’s awkward. TGG repping Özil harder than razor. Wow.

My boy @Taylor Gang Gunners is a true supporter of the beautiful game, it’s only natural mate.

 

[CaseUteinberger]

The match thread Don is back.

Drop Xhaka and start your best players, Emery. Thank you.

I’d be onboard with that setup!

 

[al-Ustaadh]

This is just the first one.

Exactly.

Interesting how Watford have a new manager now, wonder if there’ll be an improvement because they’ve been dreadful all season so far.

Doesn't matter either way. Charity F.C. will make it competitive.

 

[Iceman10]

I remember Özil dominating this fixture a couple seasons back;

An elite performance by a man with elite numbers;

108 combined goals and assists in 198 games. I’m sick of us looking like we lack creativity when we genuinely have one of the best creators on the planet.

Unleash Özil and let him feed our front men. Watford couldn’t cope with Citeh’s creative players in the FA Cup final and got absolutely spanked. We can’t go to their ground paying them too much respect.

Let’s win this handsomely.

Pressure is on him to perform. Would give him the start, but it would be at expense of Ceballos or Willock.

Next international break starts 3 weeks after the Watford game.

Can we just all play a big tournament in the summer once every two years, this qualification process and nations league bullshit can do one. All it does is bring in extra TV/sponsor money for the fat pricks at UEFA/FIFA.

 

[zilfy]

I've just read we need Xhaka because of his ability to win headers in midfield.

2-0 Watford.

don't forget those long shots. Vital that we get that extra goal once a season. makes all the difference

Is that the list of people who prioritise Arsenal success over love for individual players? Sign me up

In all seriousness, I know what you mean about Ozils capabilities - but I think you also know in your heart if he starts there’s only about a 30% chance he will put in a decent shift, based on his output in the last 2 seasons.

I’ll be in the away end for this one if you wanna talk about it, COYG!!!!!

 

[Tourbillion]

If Xhaka plays, bin the manager posthaste.

 

[Mark Tobias]

Probably going to miss the first half as I have a bowls tournament all weekend. Bit disappointed because I need a result against Watford for a more personal reason. As I mentioned I loathe Deeney and I truly feel if we are to get anything this season we should be beating this team comfortably. There are no easy games so I am expecting Arsenal to pitch up. Also keen to see if our away form has improved.

I'd go with below
______Leno______
AMN-Sokratis-Chambers-Monreal
Guendouzi-Ceballos-Willock
_____Pepe-Laca-AUBA______

I had the pleasure of watching newcastle vs watford at the sports direct stadium. Wasnt impressed at all by watford, hughes was by far the best player on the pitch. Dacoure didnt fancy it, obv talent but he was very poor. The watford defence when you look at the names is shocking.

This game will be won by football, DC has to play in this game and a early goal will mean a very easy win.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

I'm afraid he'll start same midfield against Sp**s i want either Ceballos or willock to start ahead of Xhaka

The window is already closed mate, not sure we can get Monreal back

 

[Oxeki]

They're going to have their new manager bounce against us, aren't they?

 

[Mark Tobias]

The window is already closed mate, not sure we can get Monreal back

No idea why i included him because i had already questioned myself on it. My bad. Put my granny there till Tierney is fit

 

[Jasard]

Sunday 4:30 FFS?
