Let's win. If not, then put up a good fight and do not give up !

We need some strength in midfield, but Wenger will probably go with his default, with Welbeck making way for Sanchez.

Cech
Koscielny Mustafi Monreal
Bellerin Ramsey Xhaka Kolasinac
Özil Lacazette Sanchez
​

Think a switch to back 4 would provide more solidity with Ramsey moving to right when in attack and dropping to provide an extra man in midfield when in defense.

Beaten these suckers three times in the last 4 games.

Conte must be worried about this one.

If Burnley can beat them at the Bridge, so can we.

Doubt that. We'll get thrashed on Sunday if we're not up for it... Praying for a win, hoping for a draw at least, expecting a loss. Our midfield is a mess and that is where the game will be won.

I think if we play a 3 man midfield it's better if Elnenny is tasked with playing as a pseudo CB when not in possession. He has the discipline for it, moreso than Ramsey

I agree, that's why I placed Elneny in my preferred lineup, but you just know Wenger will do soem crazy switch and find a place for Welbeck in there as well as his prodigy Ramsey.

I won't be shocked if we see similar lineup shocker like at Anfield with Lacazette dropped for Welbeck.

Talking of the midfield. Strange reading the posts last night. Half of AM thought Elneny had a great game and half rated him somewhere below a three legged donkey.

It's the same with Özil, Xhaka, Mertersaker, Welbeck etc. Football supporters seem to agree on nothing much.

They only thing they have in common is that they're all certain they're right.

Burnley, unlike us, have grit seeping through the skin. In addition to a boss that doesn't arrogantly dismiss the oppositions tactics & devises one of his own to stifle them.

Not a 2014 like rout but not pretty either. A rehash of our last visit to Stamford Bridge methinks.

I like Sean Dyche. If only you could hear what he's saying.

I can't really comment on last night because I only watched the first half but we will not have the same midfield I am sure.

Look, I would love to be wrong and watch us use this game to kick start our season. I just feel we still have a mental hurdle at the Bridge as well.

 

[Jae]

4 at the back please, that's all I ask

Eleven at the back

Our timid lot need someone like that at this moment in time. His voice being so raspy as to render it unintelligible that any utterance might appear a threat is exactly what we're missing right now

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

3-1 Chelsea win. We start the game well miss easy chance then concede some stupid goal and we will start chasing the game like bunch of c**ts.

Let's see if we did learn something from Liverpool defeat I need to see very good performance even if we lose then there be something positive

2nd half we really stepped up a gear. 3 well crafted goals from sustained pressure.

Sticking to the @ Trilly theory that one manager has another's number. Wenger's on a roll with Conte.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

My line up for this game
Cech
Bellerin kosh Mustafi kola
Wilshere Xhaka Ramsey
Welbeck Alexis
Lacazzete

4-3-3. Özil need to stay on bench this one we should try something different.

But that what Wenger will play
Czech
Kosh Mustafi Monreal
Bellerin Xhaka Ramsey Kola
Özil Alexis
Laca

Do we ever learn? I'm starting to think it's beyond the capacity of some of the personnel we currently have.

No we don't that's why I have zero hopes Wenger is stubborn

Hope we play better than Qarabağ!

How many teams have kickstarted their season during a season as we do? It's a phenomenon localized to a distinct part of North London
