Bernard, I hope you reconsider your decision to leave the forum, you would be very much missed.

As for the football, I read somewhere that Freddie favours high pressing (good) and playing out from the back ( :36angers:

).
I hope he plays 4 at the back, leaves Xhaka out of the squad and finds a way to include Martinelli.

Here's hoping Ljungberg will play more direct football, especially down the wings. He was a fantastic player for us there. Ljungberg could always be counted upon to drive forward down the wings, or run into the opposition box to latch on to passes. He is just like Pires. Both very driven players. We have missed that aspect of play ever since Emery decided to experiment.

The team I hope to see against Norwich

Leno
Bellerin Chambers Holding (if fit) Tierney
Pépé Torreira Guendozi Willock Martinelli
Aubameyang

Sok if Holding is injured.

Waiting in the wings, Martinez, Lacazette, Saka, Özil, Reiss, Mustafi, AMN, Smith-Rowe

Forget Xhaka

Hi g7.

It will be interesting to see how Ljungberg sees things, especially with regard to Özil and Pépé etc. Will he give Martinelli a run, who will be his centreback pairing? A lot of questions to be answered.

For some reason I have a feeling he may play chambers or holding at centre back.

I think Luiz needs to be dropped but seems to carry some senior status in the squad that doesn’t allow it.

It’s going to be interesting

Soc ......now I know I've been critical of you in the past but I think you've nailed this one ...... visionary :icon_mrgreen:

Look you rum addled windbag, Warrior does not pay me a retainer of millions a year for nothing you know. :laughing7:

I will give some more insightful thoughts.........in my experience games like today either end in a win, lose or draw so I think there are three ways today's game could go.

Give it an effing rest.

You are welcome to hold idiosyncratic, frankly weird, or even offensive views. However, if you call people 'stupid' for disagreeing with you, and then tell them it is 'their problem' that they don't agree with you, do not expect them to 'give it an effing rest'.

I let her have her way 95% of the time but really important issues like how many V8 s I feel like buying ; how much rum I want to drink . She just has to zip it .

Quite right too. You were a mere shadow of your normal self when you were off the sauce.

Freddie warming up at Carrow Road...in 2004.

Rich · **#324727**

Leno, chambers, mustafi, Luiz, kolasinac, Xhaka, Guendouzi, Willock, Özil, Aubameyang, Lacazette

Slightly disappointed with that line up. Still if the attitude is right it’s good enough to win.

Must be one of the slowest and least mobile 11’s we’ve ever fielded.

Pace, power, mobility - the 3 things you desperately need in this league.

Rich · **#324728**

A few big clubs sniffing around Aubameyang. He’s got 18 months left on his deal and it wouldn’t surprise me if he had no intention of extending his deal. Therefore we have to seriously consider listening to offers whilst he has some value.

Papers saying £70m + James Rodriguez from Real Madrid.

TOP GUN · **#324729**

Mental line up

Imagine if Emery had picked that one. ljungberg out !

TOP GUN · **#324731**

This is going to be a rollercoaster

The Luiz Mustafi defensive combo with Xhaka holding should be crucial. It looks like it’s been set up to Nick a point

I don’t really like teams without natural width. Arsenal have had this problem ever since we signed Aubameyang. Not saying we shouldn’t have signed him because he’s been brilliant but it meant our two best players were out and our strikers. It has never been brilliant with one of them playing wide so we have to play both.
The best way it incorporated them was a 3-5-2 but the key to that was Ramsey making those runs beyond the front 2.

Amazing how poor and unbalanced the squad was in that we’ve had a huge turnover of players in the last 2 seasons and were still a long way for a squad with any balance let alone quality

I think it’s just crazy we aren’t using Pépé.

There must be a reason that isn’t tactical he’s not getting any time. Maybe he’s not settled in London or whatever.

Subs: Martinez, Sokratis, Tierney, Torreira, Pépé, Saka, Martinelli

Not sure why youd pick Kola over Tierney at this point in time. Most interesting to see how Willock is utilised. He's not going to be an attacking no. 10 type with Özil on the pitch you'd think.

bubblechris · **#324735**

Makes no sense. I hope Freddie knows what he's doing or he could become another Arsenal record holder.

Minutes silence for Benik Afobe's daughter?
rip little un, god bless x

bubblechris · **#324736**

Sheffield Utd 1-0 up already

Lincoln gooner · **#324737**

Nice bright start. Just need to keep concentrated and not get caught on the counter.

bubblechris · **#324738**

Xhaka good pass to their goalie................

gooner7 · **#324739**

Good pressing from Arsenal. The ball is also being moved faster out of our area.

TOP GUN · **#324740**

It’s more visible that dare I say it the players are actually trying this time.

Something had clearly gone awry

bubblechris · **#324741**

Guendouzi certainly a different player.................

bubblechris · **#324742**

Have to say that Norwich look bloody awful.................

oops :36angers:

Lincoln gooner · **#324743**

ffs

Lincoln gooner · **#324744**

Luiz and Mustafi have to do better there. Very poor.

bubblechris · **#324745**

Definite pen............

Lincoln gooner · **#324746**

Pen!!

Really ordinary spot kick :36angers:

gooner7 · **#324747**

Luiz is pointing fingers at everyone but himself

Arsenalia · **#324748**

Penalty!!

Rich · **#324749**

You just knew that would be saved

Rich · **#324750**

Encroachment going to be retaken

bubblechris · **#324751**

Retake...........

Arsenalia · **#324752**

Oh ffs!!

Lincoln gooner · **#324753**

Rich · **#324754**

Scored on the retake.

Farce. VAR gives encroachment. But where was that when the Southampton player was in the box for ward prowse penalty last week?

VAR just seems to pick and choose when they intervene.

There was a Southampton goal yesterday that the bloke accidentally handballed before crossing for a goal, which should have been ruled out but VAR didn’t take any action

gooner7 · **#324755**

Aubameyang !

bubblechris · **#324756**

There were 5 of theirs to one of ours encroaching maybe the Saints one wasn't so obvious?

and it is Mike Oliver who is the best ref in the Prem.

Rich · **#324757**

Not to mention when Krul saved two penalties v Man U earlier in the season he was off his line for both. VAR has so many problems but issues of black or white really should be consistent for every game

Rich · **#324758**

Comms I’m listening to saying Arsenal chase back in numbers when they lose the ball, not seen that for months

bubblechris · **#324759**

Only goes to show how incompetent our refs are. Use the retirees I say.

Rich · **#324760**

We can literally concede 2 goals to anyone.

Does any team miss a good chance vs us? No one ever seems to mess up good chances.
