They just got walloped by Leeds and have confidence issues right now. FML Arteta is out of danger. We're ****ed

Arteta should start in form players and those who seem to care:
Leno
AMN Holding Mari Tierney
Elneny Xhaka
Saka ESR Martinelli
Laca
One of Bellerin or AMN needs to be sold. AMN is not a Midfielder, if he doesnt have a place playing RB then he needs to be sold. If Bellerin is sold then start AMN at RB, Cedric backup for both.

More like kick us, but yes.

but Holding’s hair transplant was painless
We should absolutely **** these. They'll be shell-shocked by the 5 nil, so hit them from early on.
I want our forwards to treat them like a wannabe WAG at a footballers party - everybody gets a turn.
4-1

It's completely the opposite. We struggle against teams who sit back but are good against those that press us. We're actually one of the most press-resistant teams in the league.

Sam's pressing is fouling and kicking us in his own half. His sitting back is literally the most passive thing where no one presses at all at any point and you can create chances the way we play

A masterclass from Sp**s fan Marton Fulop, Gibbs last minute super tackle and Pat Rice’s last game as our assistant manager...fun match!

Needs to go with the same team again, keep the run going. Maybe swap Auba for Laca and Elneny for Partey if fit. Reward those who have performed last few games.
I'd be tempted to start Balogun for this one. Let him take the anticipated kicking. Auba struggles at CF and out wide, he reduces our technical level because he cant dribble at one over any distance. Nelson should be on the bench as he can do a job centrally or out wide too and allows us to sub off ESR or Martinelli. Otherwise, keep the same team although I'm sure AMN can do Elneny's job.

I’d start the same team but bring in Partey and Laca for Eleny and Aubameyang.
2-0 to the arsenal

Couldn’t agree more.
I’m not sure why anyone who’s seen our pedestrian build up play against teams that defend deep thinks Leeds’ performance will have any bearing on our game against West Brom.
Leeds’ intensity and ours are diametrically opposed. Bielsa’s system relies on every player pressing man for man for 90 minutes. The game opened up because they conceded early goals and ran away from them.
Unless we also come flying out of the traps, West Brom will be even more defensive than Burnley were against us.
We know how they’ll play. They’ll allow us to have the ball in wide areas and force us back inside. We NEED a different type of player in midfield for this one.
And while I don’t think Balogun will start I’d love to see him on the bench for the reasons you’ve mentioned.

I find it bizarre that we were actually ****ed and then the manager starts winning games... but we are still ****ed? If we win a title with Arteta I'm guessing it won't be down to him either?

Look how scared the small teams were of us...no pressure nobody even dares to press before we enter the final third..too much technical ability, Cazorla, Özil, Wilshere, Ramsey, Rosicky, Alexis and Giroud would just tik tak around you until you had to puke.
Not to tempt fate but our next 3 PL games are quite winnable, pick up 9 points from them and we might be....wait for it...top half :bounce:
Partey and Gabriel gotta come back asap though

Proper Wenger side wasn't it...I do miss being the most creative team in the league, took it for granted in hindsight.
The FA cup final just after this was glorious, basically retired Tim Sherwood from management
