Arsenal away pre match thread

[Dax777]

They need to start as the new manager will be watching and expecting every player to work hard and do their bit.

Interesting line-up and I'm intrigued to see how it will work. Surprised Aguero is starting. I thought he'd be on the bench and that we might go without a recognised striker.

Perhaps a bit lacking in natural width as Silva and KDB tend to drift infield. We have looked more balanced generally with Navas and Sterling wide and they do tend to provide a bit more support for Sagna and Kolarov.

Anyway let's hope Pellegrini's got it right and that we can come away with 3 points.

silva is in the middle. Delph a little to the left for defensive help. I'd have preferred him in the middle next to Dihno with Yaya seating lazily behind them :)

Leicester takes offense to that

Leicester can do what they want. Note the at our best part.

Why is delph playing left wing? No problem just wondering?

..

To take off my Arsenal rose tinted specs for a min, Ozil needs to do it season in season out to be compared to Silva..

Hope its a great game, wont be coming back win or lose, prob be in A&E after the fifth heart attack

lol enjoy the game mate good luck for the rest of the season (as long as you finish runners up)

If it's played as a midfield 3 then Pellegrini is spot on with that imo. It's upto the players to turn up. And we have great options from the bench.

If Aguero is half fit though, we need to get him off the pitch. Presumably he has proved himself after a decent recuperation period & is ready to tear their big buffoon cb a new arsehole.

I like Delph but not on the left wing

Why is delph playing left wing? No problem just wondering?

he wont be , prob spend a lot of the game covering kolarovs runs (until sterling is introduced)

 

[SWP's back]

Sterlings been playing a lot better than De Bruyne for a few weeks now.

Don't mind the rotation though.

KDB has had 9 days rest. Expecting big things tonight.
