Think Hudson will play on the left, Pedro on the right.
Might be a shout still. Either way, he's the most exciting player on their team so will be keeping my eyes peeled. Also good to see Barkley in the fold for them. Chelsea really don't look in terrible shape at all, I reckon they'll be good this season (unfortunately).

Seem Lucas Perez getting sold or loaned out he should've been on bench.
I'm OK with this.

elneny gets too much hate on here. he's an unspectacular player yes, but in a possession-based team he fulfills a critical ball retention and defensive work rate role, especially when you want to put ramsey in the team. maitland niles is obviously a more adventurous player but guendouzi arguably does everything amn does already, and ramsey is there to bomb forward at the right moments.

4-3-2-1, is it?
Don't think Ramsey would be playing deeper as part of the 3

I'm guessing this is the games where Emery has a look at whether Özil and Rambo can thrive together in his preferred 4-3-3, with Ramsey the furthest forward of the midfield 3, and Özil on paper start as a wide forward but in practice moving inside quite often.

So disappointing. I don't like how little time AMN has been afforded in games this preseason.


Midfield is ugly too. Guendouzi saves it from being truly boring.

Don't like Niles not getting to play either. Why Elneny is getting the nod ahead of him is even more disturbing.

First real test this? Excited! Guendouzi getting rewarded for excellent performances once again, kid has really integrated into the squad effortlessly.

Emery is watching them every day.
Maybe there are reasons, why Elneny is playing and not Maitland-Niles.

I think Elneny can play more defensive next to Guendouzi, Maitland-Niles could play the role from Ramsey.

Arsenal Quotes

Arsenal have got as much chance of being handed the title by Sp*rs as I have of being given the Crown Jewels. They are the last people we want winning the Championship. Now we mean to round off our season by beating Arsenal.

There is no way we were going to be beaten
