I can only think he thinks we're so crap at the back that more defenders will help. Fact is, though, the less ****** you have on the pitch the better. We should under no circumstances be playing 3 cbs against ****ing Fulham.

 

[Maybe]

Solid stuff, would love to see Saka and Nketiah in the second half.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

I think emery want options on bench if he start 433 he'll be forced to play Aaron

 

[kraphtous]

At least we‘re playing with two defensive midfielders this time rather than 3.

 

[HBL]

I think emery want options on bench if he start 433 he'll be forced to play Aaron

Or he has seen how bad Ramsey has played recently and benched him

#EmeryOut

Are you joking, or being serious mate?

 

[razörist]

“I’d rather win 6-5 than 1-0”

Plays 5 at the back and 2 controlling midfielders at home against #19 of the league Fulham.

Get Spanish Mourinho out of our club ffs.

Yeah but then you've got Lichtsteiner at wing back instead of Bellerin. Evens itself out.

 

[OnlyOne]

 

[HBL]

Lichtsteiner is on the bench

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

We'll depend on our wing backs and Iwobi creativity to create things hopefully Iwobi have good game

 

[Rimaal]

Seriously?

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

You all blame emery but look at our squad depth ffs i know Welbeck and mkhi injuries didn't help to have many option upfront but man it's poor

 

[field442]

Lichtsteiner is on the bench

Haha that showed me. I'm seeing things in my rage.

 

[YeahBee]

3 at the back aint that bad

+creates room for a free roaming acm, be it magic Özil or free roaming ramsey
+frees up kola/Bell Who both got their strengths going forward
+ 3at the back makes build up from The back easier, god knows our cbs need all their help they can get defensively...
+ 3at the back frees up both cms more to
+ we get to play 2 damn near worldclass strikers centrally together and they even like it!

We got no pure wingers so Why play with wingers

 

[truth_hurts]

I saw Auba and Lacazette starting, so I can tactically ignore the rest of the selection.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Happy with that lineup.

 

[field442]

You all blame emery but look at our squad depth ffs i know Welbeck and mkhi injuries didn't help to have many option upfront but man it's poor

He could've played AMN at right back and a front three of Iwobi/Auba/Laca.

Yeah but 3 cbs against Fulham at home Needs to stop freezing Özil out then, doesn't he? Emery's shooting himself in the foot.

 

[progman07]

Can't see the point of playing so many defensive-minded players at home, especially against the 19th team on the league table.

Surely it's a decent time to give Nketiah or Saka a start, and Emery could still do an Emery and sub them halftime if it doesn't work..
