Arsenal (a) pre-match thread

[balotellishaircut]

Team i’d like:

Ederson
Cancelo Otamendi Garcia Mendy
Fernandinho
KDB Foden
Bernardo gabby Raheem

I think pep will start Fernandinho at cb alongside otamendi with Rodri in front of them. David silva in for foden.

I like your team, just put Bernado into centre mid with Kev and give Foden a free role and bobs your uncle.

Quite a few are putting Cancelo in, in place of Walker, but, i just haven't seen anything to justify that so far. Imho, his passing/use of the ball has been poor.

Foden's time has come. He was superb last night. Arsenal are no great shakes, and no one in our midfield looks better than Foden currently, so, leave him in please Pep.

He rested KDB and Silva for a reason. Can't see them not starting, so back to the bench for Foden I suspect but Foden's time is not far away and I suspect he will gradually be phased in as we prepare for Silva's departure.

He rested Silva because he's injured.

Personally, I'd have Corradi instead of Nolito. And Negouai must be in with a shout, instead of Fernando (the second one).

What no space for Michael Frontzeck, I give up with you lot

Give Foden the start . Can’t be any worse than last weekend.

 

[KnaresboroughBlue]

He rested Silva because he's injured.

I'm pretty certain Foden would have started in place of Silva yesterday regardless. If fit, Silva will most likely play at the weekend.
