Ah good spot, I must have gotten my wires crossed with Nelson's loan to Hoffenheim.

HomeSteak

Arsenal XI: Martinez; Mustafi, Holding, Sokratis; Maitland-Niles,Tierney, Ceballos, Willock, Pepe, Martinelli, Saka

3 at the back. No Bellerin, Ozil or Torreira so maybe they start at the weekend?

Just drunkenness. Pepe starting today. So do he and Tierney have to recover for the weekend now?

Mirth

Emery can't help himself - loves a tinker.

I thought about that, and then I realised that Chambers hasn't even travelled. That probably means he'll start this weekend. Maybe he'll start at centreback against Leicester? It's pretty much the only explanation I can find for why Sokratis is starting tonight ahead of him.

He wants Christmas off so he's fucking shit up to get sacked quicker.

Or we're going to play 3 at the back against Leicester?

Emery's answer to no Xhaka.

😆 Finally get a proper left back fit instead of having to play a LWB all the time, switch to wing backs. Emery is as erratic as late era Wenger.

Claudius

I really feel for the players. They must be so exhausted from all this chopping and changing

goon

Yeah, I've given up being surprised. I hate 3 at the back but it's worked for us in stretches before, so why not at this stage, we've tried so many formations that I'm pretty sure I recognised one of my wacky FIFA career mode custom formations the other night. Maybe with Chambers and Luiz in a back 3 it won't be so bad.

I'm worried about that defence but curious to see a 343.

Martinez

Mustafi - Holding - Sokratis

AMN - Willock - Ceballos - Tierney

Pepe - Martinelli - Saka

Clrnc

Chambers and Luiz is made for 3 ATB. We will still lose at Leicester but that formation suits our defenders

Just looking at MHGs formation there I think you are right here. Lacazette is back and he's caved on the Ozil siuation so he's going to play 5 at the back for width. Thats why Pepe is playing tonight too, he'll be dropped again against Leicester.

That's not a bad shout. It makes sense when you look at the available squad and Emery's love for wingbacks too. Torreira-Guendouzi-Özil midfield on saturday?

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Saka and Pepe narrow-ish behind Martinelli.

Bold Tone

Please tell me Mustafi is not captain for this game.
edit
Holding is.
Phew!

That's potentially our best midfield for this season in my opinion.

With Ceballos starting today it looks like, which is a pity as I think he looked decent at the weekend. I'd drop Torreira out of the 3, Douzi made mistakes but he recovered, Torreira was playing like a headless chicken. I hope a new coach can reign him cos theres a player there.

Ozil in midfield is never happening in away premiership game.
I think Pepe and Willock get the opportunity to play their way into the team today just as Ozil did last week.

Klaus

Holding captaining the side tonight.
