PL: Arsenal v Newcastle | Monday, January 18 | KO: 20:00 UTC | Sky Sports

[TromsoGooner]

Didn't he love Arsène, think Wenger used to loan/recommend signings to Steve every now and then...Big Wengz always liked to do his part for charity.

Recommended Wilson Palacios for him when he was at Wigan, great signing for them. Loaned them Bendtner, Larsson and probably a few others I can`t remember.

 

[Sebastes]

Leno
Bellerin, Holding, Mari, Tierney
Elneny, Partey
Saka, ESR, Martinelli
Laca​

If Tierney is out then play AMN and switch Saka and Gabi

 

[OnlyOne]

Evans - Free
Wilshere - Free
Depay - Free
Bissouma - 25M
Grealish - 80M

Lovely stuff.

 

[Riou]

Looking forward to seeing which wrestling theme we play in this...anyone know exactly why we are doing this?

We should have started a partnership when both Arsenal and WWF were actually watchable though...imagine if we linked up with them in the late 1990s/early 2000s!

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Hate these late kick offs at home i don't we even won 1 game that started at 8pm. Late kick off against team will sit deep like c**ts meanwhile us passing crossing it all game creating little. For once i need us to score 1-2 goals early here

If I see this wish list one more time I’m going to have to change your name to OnlyOneHairspray.

Sorry mate, missed off Tuchel.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

We should revert to 3-4-3 for this.

Leno
Holding-Mari-Magha
Willian-Partey-Xhaka-Saka
Pepe-Laca-Auba

Mari will miss a few games according to Arteta.

Mari will miss a few games according to Arteta.

Then Luiz if he's available. That would actually be a better fit.

Really wanna try out this line up though. I get the feeling this might be our answer for the rest of the season bar Saka in Willian's place and Tierney in his.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Why going 343 back again after 10 points from 4 games scoring 8 goals conceding one now with Partey Martinelli back the 4231 formation will be better

That's true but I really think that would open up the game for our strikers much more. Maybe swap Pepe with ESR behind Auba and Laca.

Don't want to go back to 343 in case Arteta gets a taste for it. I wonder if Gabriel can do a job at LB in a four with Holding and Luiz at CB. It's probably safest to stick AMN or Cedric at LB.

We need stability and settle with formation that work i think 4231 does balance the team specially with Tierney bellerin preform better in it.

Yeah as far as I can remember Gab has played LB before. Prefer that over AMN and Cedric. Can't stand the site of either tbh.

Yeah, but Tierney is injured no? I mean no harm in experimenting. Really don't wanna see Cedric and AMN shoehorned into LB though.

Tierney is fine and will be back against Newcastle so there no need to switch 343 or play AMN or Cedric as LB

 

[AberGooner]

If Tierney is out I think we have to go with Saka at left back this time. If you remember when Tierney was injured Freddie stuck him there and he was basically Arteta's main creative threat from LB until the lockdown. Don't see any other option as AMN clearly didn't work in a back 4 from the left.

Hopefully Tierney is fit though.

We need Gangrel's theme.

 

[GDeep™]

We should sign Jamal Lascelles from them. Good leader, good CB.

...Ray missing out on playing at the 1998 World Cup will always annoy me and I wasn't even a fan then!
