Premier League | Liverpool vs Arsenal | 27/08/2017 | 16:00 BST | Sky Sports

[Sanis]

I'm surprised that so many people are sceptical about this game. Liverpool are bang average team with good manager who brings best of them. We struggle against teams who park the bus and play on a counter. Liverpool will not play like that and we'll have plenty of space, our players are individually stronger. The only concern is if players will play in their natural positions, I hope we won't see fullbacks at CB. Their defence is poor, so I expect we'll score at least 3 goals.

 

[SA Gunner]

I'd drop Özil and Ramsey to the bench, and try to secure a lead first.

----Lacazette--------Giroud---------Alexis
-----------Iwobi-----Xhaka-----Elneny
Kolisinac---Koscielny---Mustafi-----Oxlade
----------------------Cech

Subs: Walcott, Özil, Ramsey, Bellerin, Coquelin, Holding, Ospina.

Keep it tight and look to play on the break. An option for the long ball is there as well.

Whoever is wearing orange is starting imo

Hi Gooners!

Will Welbeck play? Do you have any information?

Probably.

 

[mavelous]

Iwobi must stay imo if Alexis isn't. We struggle to hold the ball, and xhaka is painfully off form. That's not even getting into what headless chicken will partner him.

This is gonna be so painful to watch, stock up on alcohol guys

 

[The_Playmaker]

What is the likely hood of Mustafi playing now? Seems low to me.

 

[Slartibartfast]

What is the likely hood of Mustafi playing now? Seems low to me.

If it's true that he wants to leave, I'd be very surprised to see him in the lineup. Of course we don't really know what's actually going on behind the scenes, but if he doesn't even make the bench tomorrow that would be a pretty good indication.

That's one of the weirdest line-ups I've ever seen.

 

[say yes]

Lacazette
Sanchez Özil
Kolasinac Xhaka Ramsey Bellerin
Monreal Koscielny Mustafi
Cech

That team will smash Liverpool.

No new rumours about him leaving, so I doubt anything is happening.

He'll start and stay.

The last rumour about him was just yesterday. What do you want, by the hour updates?

Got scared for a sec when I saw Welbeck wearing orange, but then thankfully saw Lacazette wearing black so it's quite meaningless.

 

[GDeep™]

Window is closing in 3 days, if a major player is leaving I'll be expecting more news to filter out, but nothing.

Which suggest not much is going on.

Hi Gooners!

Will Welbeck play? Do you have any information?

We're not sure if you'll play Danny. You're a lovely lad but maybe take up darts or something where even if you aren't on target you can be rewarded for being in the vicinity.

----Lacazette--------Giroud---------Alexis

Putting Elnenny in ahead of any of the reserces, retired and/or deceased Arsenal players is ban worthy to be honest.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Elneny

I hope he is just making fun of Coquelin(Hazard goal) and not that we have two of those trash tier players.

 

[Objective Gooner]

Lacazette
Sanchez Özil
Kolasinac Xhaka Ramsey Bellerin
Monreal Koscielny Mustafi
Cech

That team will smash Liverpool.

And get smashed as badly, or worse, in the other direction.

We're in for a tough season.

 

[Sapient Hawk]

My mood is tempered by the fact that our humiliation will be restricted to a brief 90 minute spell.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Mignolet not in Liverpool squad today Karius will start.

I'd put Ramsey in for Iwobi and drop the Ox. With the exception of Alexis players that don't want to sign for us shouldn't be put in the window by us. Obviously we aren't sure what is happening with Mustafi but his contract has him here for the next few years anyway.
