Arsenal (A) Pre match thread

[brummie blue]

Sane was poor against Chelsea, understand why he's benched, Sterling must have showed more in training.

 

[pudge]

Surprised that Sterling plays but Kev doesn't

[deano ou812]

Surprised sterling starts sane doesn’t

Have to agree,actually don’t know what to make of that line up..

 

[mscenterh750]

Fantastic line up and such a strong bench.

Come on you blues.

Personally would have had KDB in over Gundogan but ah well.

Maybe Pep wants to be a bit more solid in midfield.

And Kevin has played a hell of a lot of football over the summer.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Glad Sané is dropped and said during the Chelsea game that we should expect it. It’s the same pattern as last season when Sané couldn’t be arsed then either. He takes 3 or 4 weeks to kick into action.

Mahrez was poor against Chelsea too yet starts

 

[Deleted member 81382]

Not really, took a knock last week

A disappointment in the sense that he makes us stronger and is not fit to start.

 

[yankblue]

No Dave or KDB, wow

 

[Dazzle84]

Surprised torreira is on the bench, he'd get in our team you know

 

[B\connellblue]

Gundogan??

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Can never second guess Pep, suppose!

 

[cleavers]

Sane out is a surprise although he wasn’t very good last week.

He had a knock last week, maybe not 100% ?

 

[Gabriel]

Ooohno kev or dave,now we'll see what we can do

They were integral in the two Arsenal fixtures in London, so today is an excellent opportunity for the others to step up. A win would be nice, as it would stop people fretting and give everyone greater confidence in the entire squad.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Mahrez was poor against Chelsea too yet starts

He was trying his best though. Pep can accept poor performances, but not poor attitude.

 

[oldius]

Pep will have just seen who is ready and who isn't quite. We are so blessed to have such competition for places; it has to push the whole squad on.

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Whatever way you slice it, that is one hell of a team

 

[domalino]

Not really, took a knock last week

Trained all week and fit to be on the bench so he's fine.

 

[Vienna_70]

Hope Mahrez is on the right.

On the left, I would imagine. I think Raheem will be right; it’s his more natural position.

 

[kaz7]

Sane has had an injury and kev only came back on monday,we have enough

COME ON BLUEBOYS

p.s arses have a decent team out
