An excellent time To blood some of The reserves over the next 4 games centre halves especially. We have a numbervofpotentially good players who could alip into thecteam and stake their claimscto a spot.

I hope Eddie gets a chance.

HIGH GOON Arsenal stars’ hippy crack binge – watch Özil, Aubameyang and Lacazette at wild party as Guendouzi passes out after taking hit from balloon

The shocking scenes happened at a wild champagne and vodka party enjoyed by around a dozen players in August — just days before the start of the season

https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/7919695/ ... guendouzi/

70 girls invited to the event plus a number of players. A disaster in the making. It is not a great look but it could have been a lot worse.

It's not a great look at all. Despite playing it down I trust Emery and the new regime have made it clear to the players that a repeat won't be tolerated.

How depressingly stupid in so many ways.

Arsenal XI: Leno; Kolasinac, Sokratis, Mustafi, Lichtsteiner, Bellerin; Guendouzi, Torreira, Xhaka; Aubameyang, Lacazette

Koscielny and Monreal back and on the bench

Looks like a 3-5-2 formation, I wonder who from that midfield 3 will be given licence to roam forward.

The best chances for City to lose are the games they play away to the top 6 clubs. So far they have escaped losses away to us, Tottenham and Liverpool. today is the best chance on paper for them to lose a match this season. I can't see Man Utd winning against them. The odds of them going unbeaten can't be great, and it will likely be a game away at a club that is tough and they take likely or are in the middle of a congested fixture schedule.

However, I'm still worried...un-necessarily so, but still worried because I've not seen a club since we went unbeaten, other than Chelsea in their Mourninho glory years, that look like they could do it.

No attacking midfielders in the starting lineup. Emery continuing to be utterly unpredictable - very interesting to see how the midfield three works together. Three excellent players with a lot of different qualities.

Emery knows what he’s doing but it’s a bit of a strange team. Do you need all those defenders against Huddersfield and it looks like Xhaka as the number 10 with Özil nowhere to be seen.

Any decent links?

Thanks

Those under verified streams usually work okay.

I agree Haz. I'm looking forward to seeing how the three play together.

I think saying City ‘escaped’ defeat away to big teams is quite unfair. They battered us 2-0, never looked like losing to spurs and were a last min missed pen away from giving Liverpool their only defeat of the season.
Right now my money would be on them going unbeaten all season

Guendouzi as playmaker?

Tactics are clear, very high press from Huddersfield and as soon as arsenal get past the high press there is an immediate foul

Play stopped for 3 full minutes for a Huddersfield player with a sore wrist. Quite why the ref can’t make him leave the pitch immediately to get treatment on a wrist injury is beyond me

Not got going at all

And quite effective so far. We haven't got going yet.

Ref not strong enough with the continual rotational fouling. 7 fouls already from Huddersfield

Unbelievable. All of Huddersfield’s fouls and Xhaka gets a yellow for a dive on half way as he is challenged from behind. Pathetic from the ref. I just don’t understand why refs are so lenient on such obvious physical tactics that break the rules but clamp down immediately on any perceived infringement from the team actually trying to play football

Aubameyang misses a sitter

Truly bizarre. Baffled the commentary team as well

Yup but why go down?

Nothing then two sitters missed in a minute!

Now lacazettte misses an even easier sitter

This is incredibly frustrating.
Arsenal missing sitters
Ref allowing their fouls to go unpunished but we so much as come near them and it is a foul. And for the full house you have time wasting from every stoppage already. I hate these sorts of games

Mustafi needs to be careful or he's going to get a yellow soon, and a suspension.

Thanks for the link Soc., but all I can see is the top quarter band of the screen. Pesky adverts in the way which I cant get rid of.

Xhaka from 35 yards - awful.

This is shocking. Huddersfield tactics are so obvious. Terrible terrible tackle sliding in from behind and taking the man, clear yellow. Torreira seems to be targeted.

Huddersfield with so many fouls and so many bad fouls, only 2 yellows and arsenal have 2 yellows for a dive and retaliation

Emery will need to change this. Game plan isn’t working and he needs to get Iwobi on.

We don’t need 3 central defenders

... may be better to watch than the game. Albeit it is livening up ... but not in a good way. We need to get a grip.

You need to click on the little x's to get rid of the adverts

This ref has lost control totally here. How on earth have arsenal got 3 yellows is absolutely bizarre.
Huddersfield player fouled an arsenal man and the ref gave him a yellow but in the seconds after the foul another Huddersfield’s player saw it as a chance to put one in on Guendouzi- a free hit effectielvely - more than deserving of a yellow but ref hasn’t got a clue.

This needs stamping out of the game.

5th yellow and a suspension for Sokratis.

What the actual *(&& ?

How can that be offside????

Awful again. Lacazette pounces on a back pass and scores. Lino gave him offside but it was surely a second phase of play as the defender had won it and had plenty of time to clear it and messed it up. Lino has bailed the defender out. Really poor again from the officials

Xhaka appears to be playing for Huddersfield today

Poor decision - that was a legitimate goal.
