All week people online were taking about how Arteta will not change a winning team. Then he does this, this is a Pep CL panic moment. What the fuck man

HomeSteak Huh? Rather he does this. I like rotations and now he have so much options he better bloody rotate like Pep.

And this also shows that we want to go for goals at home to Nottm.

The defensive approach worked out really well in the context of playing Manchester City but I really have no idea what people saw that would make them say "Yes, this is exactly how I would want us to play against Nottingham Forest at home".

Pepe LeFrits

daredevil that's what it is when we have the ball, it'll be a 4 4 2 shape out of possession I bet

Don Pacifico

This is the unpredictability Arteta wanted I guess!

HomeSteak

Clrnc I rather he not. Looks to me like over thinking for the sake of it

Bernard Woolley

Nketiah : Arteta :: Xhaka : Wenger? I just don't get this.

Pepe LeFrits

It's the same setup we used vs Forest and Wolves in our last two (fully) competitive games. I don't get why people are so surprised

DiabyKungFu

Pepe LeFrits

Yeah, exactly. Playing with 4 defenders and 2 defensive midfielders in the Emirates Cup and Community Shield was Arteta doing a weird "Pep in the CL" thing. This is going back to how we usually play. A big interesting thing is that this seems to suggest that Arteta might not consider Timber as an inverted fullback. I guess we'll see as the season progresses.

Clrnc

Hope Turner don't have a blinder

KingslandBarge

DiabyKungFu If you reckon this is how we'll typically play, where do you see Zinchenko fitting in, if at all?

KingslandBarge

Zinchenko and Gabriel for Timber and Partey.

Gazza M

trossard up front with hazertz running off him makes so much more sense to me. eddie doesn't bring others into play

goon

TNT Sports off to a flyer. Have spent 5 mins showing Mccoist talking but without any sound.

Go on Eddie, get a hat trick.

Panda

Interesting team. Choosing to believe Gabriel is only fit enough for the bench rather than having been dropped.

Arsenal to win and Nketiah to score 😄

Fun lineup. Hopefully it'll be smooth and dynamic, and not get too "viscous".

Panda

Gazza M Stop it 😂 I refuse to believe a random on Twitter. 🥲

Clrnc

Crazy stat

Mirth

Dules’ Kiwor shout might come true sooner than expected

Don Pacifico

Mirth I think this may be the season we work out whether Arteta's tactical game stands up.

KingslandBarge

Gabriel will probably be a bit gutted but based on that stat, thats also got to be relief. He can watch a league game switched off and appreciate the raised floor of this group and the potential to share minutes without drop-off. Can notice the collective ethic with a shared goal, shared joy.
