PL: Bournemouth vs Arsenal | Thursday 26th December | KO: 15:00 | Amazon Prime

[Yousif Arsenal]

Pepe must be really s**t at training

 

[Aussie_gunner123]

Only Pepes first season, it will take him time to get the faith of our managers. Not good with no Martinelli in there though, must be injured.

 

[Furious]

Could have played Willock even though he's a little off form

Meh, it's Willock.

 

[Rimaal]

Is Martinelli injured?

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Games are coming thick and fast now, going to plenty of chances for the entire squad to show what they can do.

 

[Football Manager]

Would love to see how tactical sophisticated Arteta is.

 

[Camron]

Disappointed to see Pepe hasn’t made Bumteta’s first lineup.

Looking forward to the autocorrect with Mikels middle names.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Arteta will have looked at the few training sessions and will have seen who's adapting to what he wants from his team and will have picked the lineup based on that. If Pepe's not showing more than Nelson for example then it doesn't matter how much he cost or what he did at Lille. Arteta will be picking the team based on what he's seen.

 

[OnlyOne]

Could this be a game where we get a goal scored form someone other than Auba/Laca ?
Hoping for Nelson or Saka to bag their first PL goal. Come on Arsenal !!

A mysterious Özil?

 

[Furious]

Let's hope Nelson for once shows something worthwhile.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Is Martinelli injured?

He had knock against Everton he not with squad today

 

[GDeep™]

Pepe must be really s**t at training

Worrying that Auba is played out of position and Nelson is picked all while Pepe is available. He must be crap in training.

Looks like Raul wasted more money, continuing where he left off at Barcelona.

 

[albakos]

A mysterious Özil?

Özil to assist the winner

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Starting to understand that I hate almost every player at this club.

Not much Emery, Ljungberg and now Arteta can do with this dreadful squad. Line ups will be disappointing until we start having good transfers windows.

 

[Tumblin'Dice]

Obviously not a big name, But Calum Chambers a bit hard done by I feel.

 

[GDeep™]

Let's hope Nelson for once shows something worthwhile.

Must have showed something in training for Arteta to pick him.

Then again there were stories that Iwobi was phenomenal in training.

 

[kraphtous]

According to sources, Arteta changed his mind and is going with this team instead

 

[Jasard]

Pepe must be the laziest trainer in football

 

[El Duderino]

Think he wants someone who can retain the ball better up the pitch in Lacazette.

Pepe not starting likely due to that and also down to us having no one to bring from the bench.

He takes chances and loses the ball a lot and with the state our midfield, AMN at RB and our central defense are in, we need to try and keep the ball up the pich as much as possible.

 

[GDeep™]

Obviously not a big name, But Calum Chambers a bit hard done by I feel.

Suspended I think.
