⚽ Spurs vs Arsenal, League, Sunday 2pm

lorddulaarsenal

Nobody backing Nwaneri to start?

Claudius

lorddulaarsenal feels unfair to a baby to make his first start the NLD

USArsenal

There's no way Nwaneri starts this game. He needs minutes in the league before he gets thrown into an away NLD.

Dom

Jesus is a middling footballer but I think his energy could be important against Spurs so I'd back him to replace Odegaard. A midfield three of Partey, Jorginho and Havertz/Trossard would have no ability to press or hurry Spurs' players.

Some disturbing omens heading into this. Screwed over by a bent ref and missing two of our best players.

invisibleman18

Bissouma also injured on international duty.

Claudius

I would also play Jesus at 9 and Havertz in midfield. Partey plus 1.

spurs won't know what's going on, because neither will we

Don Pacifico

Gazza M I think this is my current favourite (although might consider pushing Timber back to LB and swapping Zinchenko into midfield).

Would be different, that's for sure!

SimplyThePest

Gazza M Gave me a good laugh... 😃

I think we will go with;

--------------Raya
White--Saliba--Gabriel--Calafiore
Saka---Partey--Timber--Martinelli
-------Havertz--Trossard

banduan

this match requires a galaxy brain moment from Arteta and that worries me.

Kel Varnsen

Would like to see Calafiori start. Looks like a top class player.

Qwiss

Kel Varnsen is he even fit?

flobaba

daredevil Ew. Jorginho has to be in there. That's a zero creativity, zero tempo, zero control midfield.

USArsenal

You think we're going straight 4-4-2?

daredevil

USArsenal

It will be our usual formation but Havertz with more licence to attack and Timber playing much closer to Partey.

daredevil

flobaba

My concern would be he hasn't played this season so might be cold, also didn't play for Italy. Timber on the other hand has played every game, so might be easier to keep him in there somewhere.

Pepe LeFrits

Asterix reflects me not wanting to be the person who has start match threads as well!

Asterix

Pepe LeFrits I did see we hadn't started one but I'm way too superstitious to be starting match threads... - stupid brain.

Gazza M

Don Pacifico calafiori just looks like an NLD legend in the making. I want him to start this one

Don Pacifico

I'd also add that we need to see Arteta win games like this. Man City beat us with Bernardo Silva playing fucking LB so if we are setting our squad up for versatility, we need to see it be successful in these kind of situations.

Mirth

Don Pacifico Agree - although Pep does pull out some crazy ideas that backfire too when he's up against it. Particularly in the CL.

This is realistically as bad as it can get for us in terms of player availability so curious to see how we'd do. I'd replace Odegaard with Havertz and play Trossard up front. Would prefer Jesus but he's unlikely to be fit enough to play in a derby match

Henry14th

As long as we don’t concede I can’t see us being beaten.

Asterix

Henry14th The old - "we can't lose if we don't concede" line of thinking.
