Dont get this lineup. Its again leaning towards more backup to defense. I don't agree at all. Is Emery mad?

Its an away game. Play full strength ffs.

Can’t believe Özil’s not starting. Thursday just got him loosened up after rusting in the stalls.

What must he be thinking on the bench watching some of our players running out. Like an Arabian Thoroughbred watching donkeys racing, from the gap in his stable door.

Eh? Ramsey is an attacking replacement for Özil and Kolasinac is a more attacking full back than Monreal.

Good to see Emery play our best XI! I am confident now!

PL win percentage with Özil starting: 54%
PL win percentage with Özil dropped: 62%

what kinda maths is this?

1. missing due to illness or injury is not the same as being 'dropped'
2. why are sub appearances not accounted for? Late goals due to his influence or allowing space for others is valid part of 'playing'

the stats may still read that we have won more games without Özil but to be genuine, you can only calculate it by 'wins with Özil playing' vs 'wins without Özil playing' and that can only reach 100%

*sips tea*

Just wait for the 60th minute sub, Denis Suarez for Mkhi, and Mesut stays on the bench. Comedy gold.

People already blaming Emery for overplaying players. Just like they did with Wenger.

We have very well paid medical staff who monitor players at every stage, seeing if they’re in the red zone or not. What a waste of money when the manager could just ask the fans.

Still Pining for Wenger
I hope Liverpool drubs them about 7-0. There's no need for Liverpool to drop points (unless you're a City or Sp**s fan). Arsenal isn't catching them. But any points United gets today could make a big difference at the end and cost Arsenal a top 4 spot.

Not really. The stupid points we dropped at West Ham, Southampton and a few other teams will cost us a top 4 spot. Or the two opening games we threw away for no reason.

We also have United at home in a few weeks. Liverpool on the other hand, cannot be allowed to win the title.

If we had done what we were supposed to do, hell if we do what we're supposed to do from now on, we will be fine. Relying on other teams to slip up doesn't matter if we then turn around and lose away at Goodison and Wolves.

At least when he’s not on the bench the humiliation is in private.
We should still have more than enough to beat Southampton, though his control in tight spaces and precise passing could have been very usefull against Southampton who come here with 8 defensive players. Oh well. Can’t wait for bournemouth to find him on the bench again. You just know its going to happen. He’s only usefull when Emery needs to save his job.

Auba’s place on the bench is very understandable. He’s been poor as of late- I just realised he’s level on goals with Kane in the PL, despite Kane only just returning to fitness.

He’s good off the bench too. Good decision from Emery.

So just to be clear, you're trying to say that man United dropping points does NOT affect our top 4 chances?

Özil hasn't completed 90 minutes since before Christmas, asking him to start again so soon after his first full game was unrealistic. He could easily be in the red zone as you said.

I expect that type of stuff from the fan boys but not from someone like you who claims to be on the side of facts and logic.

Don’t get this post. We’re playing a back 4 and 3 attacking mids. How is that a defensive lineup?

It’s also definitely a home game.
