Arsenal (a) pre-match thread

[asahartford1]

Why start him out of position though?

You do not know where he is starting. Or how he will perform. It may be more fluid with interchanging between the midfield players.

 

[ojeme]

Ederson
Walker Fernandinho Otamendi Mendy
Rodri
Gundogan Foden
De Bruyne
Jesus Sterling​

Wonder if it could be a 3-5-2, with Fernandinho, Otamendi and Rodri as the back three and Walker & Mendy as wing backs? Probably not, but you never know!

 

[mccity]

I reckon we could see Foden as a something closely resembling a false 9 at times.

 

[TheRubberRing]

Why does everything have to be happy clappy on here otherwise you get shot down!

 

[Craig]

I think it's pretty safe to assume that KDB is playing the right side of the front three in this team

I’m hoping that’s the case for a natural right footer out there and Foden playing behind Jesus but I think it’ll be the other way round. Soon find out anyway

Nah, Kev will be playing wide right.

 

[ballinio]

Bernado should be in that team

Haha with Pep, you never know. Could be 4-1-2-1-2, 3-5-2 or 4-4-2. He has given Ljungberg a bit of headache.

 

[Damanino]

Rodri and Gundogan together is potential problem. They need to be quick, and not slow us down too much. Especially in transition.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Gundogan always finds a way to play.

not happy clappy, just semi sensible mate.

Strong front 4 for Arsenal. Got a feeling there's going to be goals in this.

 

[BLUEMATT23]

No idea what the formation is but if Pep is experimenting then I'm all for it.

The league is done so now is a good time to try and figure out different ways to beat teams so we're not as predictable in attack next season.

Yes but we need to ensure top4

 

[TheRubberRing]

What did I say that wasn’t sensible?

 

[ScottSinclair]

I assume its a cb/cdm hybrid role for either rodri or fern like we did last season. Just very happy Phil starts, hopefully he continues to show that he deserves to start, and atleast our press wont be non-existant

You have been talking through the crack in your arse.

Been pulled on it.

Straightforward

Happy clappy on match day threads, fucks sake I’ve read it all, you being negative without any knowledge of the formation is plain ridiculous

 

[asahartford1]

Gundogan always finds a way to play.

When we lost to the rags last week where did he play. ?

 

[abu13]

Very happy to see Foden start. A real test for the lad today.
im sure he will shine.
