Not sure what formation he's going with, but hopefully everyone in the starting XI will have understood they are playing for their futures at The Arsenal. Let's see who wants to be there.

Also, all the fullbacks are injured, so hopefully the team has been picked from the players that want to be here, and I just hope the players know what they have to do.

Two actual defenders plus Rowe instead of Özil. It should be fun anyway!

Links anyone?



Try some of these Decaf.

Wow, that's some team Freddies picked.

Could be what he wanted to do all along (injuries aside of course). I can't imagine he was picking Özil from conviction!

The team I just saw on my screen is a bit of a joke really. Saka at RB, Chambers again Nelson. No Guendouzi. I’m going to bed & will watch it in the morning.


It is

For me it looks like Freddie is sticking 2 fingers up at some of the players who let him down whilst he was in charge

He’s picked Xhaka and Torreira though which never works

Problem is that neither does Torreira and Guendouzi. I think Xhaka is a good call here.

Super read. Thanks for that Greeny.

Lots of cause for optimism there despite the complete absence of experience as being the main man. Fingers crossed.

Indeed

This bit gave me the most hope...

Quote:
In his final season at Arsenal, the club’s official website asked him to imagine setting up ‘Mikel Arteta FC’ and the ideas that would underpin it. “My philosophy will be clear,” Arteta said. “I will have everyone 120 per cent committed, that’s the first thing. If not, you don’t play for me. When it’s time to work it’s time to work, and when it’s time to have fun then I’m the first one to do it, but that commitment is vital. Then I want the football to be expressive, entertaining. I cannot have a concept of football where everything is based on the opposition.

“We have to dictate the game, we have to be the ones taking the initiative, and we have to entertain the people coming to watch us. I’m 100 per cent convinced of those things, and I think I could do it.”



He was Captain as well, so not totally without experience as a main man, if not the main man


I'm buzzing
:26encouragement:

Yeah. CORY! :6encouragement: :5encouragement:

Still no attempt at goal from us. Why are we so boring?

If either Arteta or Ancelotti were under any illusions about the job ahead that first half will have dispelled them.

We've shown some good spirit but little quality, nothing created for Aubameyang. First goal going to be massive here.

Never convinced by an Özil ‘injury’. I mean in matches he never gets anywhere near max effort or speed to ping a muscle and never goes anywhere near an opponent to get a knock. And we all know Arsenal basically do non contact sideways passing drills in training

You're not wrong ; I've only seen the last ten minutes but heard the commentator say something similar .

There was a lot more quality in evidence in the Crystal Palace v Brighton game I watched recently .

2.43 am here I'll give the second half ten minutes and the fare stays the same I'm heading back to bed .

I don't have the same Betamax system you have ... I've got full replay options

Looking like it's going to be the last game shown on MOTD tonight...you know, the boring 0-0 between two teams with nothing left to play for

Well a clean sheet would be a major step forward.

Anything that stops the lengthy remorseless downward spiral looks pretty good to me.

Yes that looks a bad decision

Pépé has talent but we just don’t seem to be getting it right with him.

That said we keep dropping him as soon as he turns in a decent performance
