Newcastle - Arsenal: Sunday at 2 | Sunday roast

It won't be a back 5. If it is and every defender plays with none on the bench Unai has again taken leave of his senses.

Did Mustafi not travel?

TambourineMan

Nope. Left at home. Hope he gets the message and fucks off.

5 at the back?
Seriously?
He wouldn't would he?

deardevil

Of course he would. 5 at the back is Emery's equivalent of 5 midfielders that Wenger loved to deploy anytime he felt cowardly.

We're playing away and our squad is unfit. Sounds like the perfect opportunity to be cautious and get fucked for it.

flobaba

Come on Arsenal!

One at the back, none at the back. Just need to see my team play again.

Are we bruising the banana today?

He would and I think he will.

I've no idea why you keep saying that. We barely played it at all in pre-season, and we've only taken five defenders with us today.

I understand moaning about things that have actually happened, but you've created an imaginary situation just to work yourself up. Chill.

But yes the bruised banana shirt will be making it's PL debut

Claudius

The 5 at the back fearmongering is bizarre. First, the whole pre-season was built around a 4 man defense save one half of football. Second, there is nothing intrinsically wrong with playing 5 at the back. That in itself doesn’t make us less attacking. It’s who we field and how they gel on the day. If we have our full backs pressing forward and progressive midfielders, then it can work well. Where it becomes problematic is if you have two defensive midfielders and conservative fullbacks. Then everything becomes constipated.

Nelson and Willock start. 4atb.

y va marquer

Not if players are wearing the bruised banana shirt

TambourineMan

4 at the back, no Luiz, Laca, Ceballos or Pepe.

jones

How about the full line up

QuincyAbeyie

Thanks. I'm on the phone and couldn't be bothered.

lorddulaarsenal

Ricky is said to have bruised his bannane twice already today

Yoooouff - gwan Willock

Gazza M

4 atb or die trying

Qwiss

Big game for Willock, I think he'll do well. Bench looks incredible.

Clrnc

As expected, same as our last few friendlies with Ozil not available the only change.
