Slavia Prague vs Arsenal, Nov 4 17:45 GMT

Pepe LeFrits

I'd go

Raya
White Saliba Hincapie MLS
Norgaard Rice
Saka Nwaneri Eze
Merino/Trossard

Tactics

Think Arteta will play a stronger team but I'd go:

------------Trossard
Eze--Merino------Nwaneri--Saka
------------Norgaard
MLS--Hincapie--Mosquera-White
--------------Raya

Saka had a month off at the start of the season, so should be relatively fresh.

Tactics
he didn't have a month off, he was rehabbing a dreaded hamstring injury and for an explosive player that's bad. he couldn't outrun the burnley CB on the weekend. he was never a real pacey player, but that's clearly a man scared to floor it.

I'd like to see a decent amount of rotation for this 1. Hoping Nwaneri, MLS, Merino, Hincapie get to start.

I guess the 9 options are Merino, Trossard, Harriman-Annous.

I'd be tempted to try Trossard at 9 with Eze LW and Nwaneri 8. That would mean playing all 4 of our current fit attackers (sigh, how are we here again?) and would leave Dowman and Harriman-Annous as our attacking options off the bench.

i watched us start ethan and merino in champions league knockout games (thrashings). i'm not saying we can't lose, but we shouldn't drop points against slavia prague. i'm more worried about sunderland away and even that should be a win.

Doc

Would love to try something different with Ethan upfront.. safer option would be Merino I guess

Qwiss

Doc If they think Gyokeres will be back in 3 games then I'm fine with Merino. If it was a longer injury I'd be more interested in changing things with more of a tactical switch. TBH tonight I wouldn't be upset to see Annous, think he gave a good showing last week. I think he looks like he could get a few minutes off the bench in this and maybe even Sunderland.

Sicario2 First of all before I get into this post, wtf is a 545 kick off!? Neighbours doesn’t even finish by then!

Just to come back to this, boy am I glad I remembered this as I was eating dinner. I'd been tired at work today and was really close to taking a nap for a few hours until the game started (normally starts at 11PM here) and woken up with the game already finished.

Merino at 9 it is with Saka and Trossard on the wings. Glad Nwaneri and Hincapie starting. Shame MLS isn't. Hope he subs on for Rice at L8.

Eze on the bench makes it stronger from an attacking point of view too.

QuincyAbeyie

Too bad that MLS isn't starting really

Don Pacifico

QuincyAbeyie yeah, feels an odd call but maybe done for tactical reasons?

Return of the less spotted Sagoe Jr (on the bench).

Won't be able to watch this as got to work but hopefully we can get a comfortable win with sufficient rest for key players (attackers!).

Sicario2

Nwaneri’s biggest game in an Arsenal shirt

QuincyAbeyie

Sicario2 not at all

tazmania

Arteta only has himself to blame when our players fall apart eventually. He could be subbing more.

We know he won't do it against Bayern or Inter

IBL

Living a little dangerously so far

Tactics

Too bad both Martinelli and Madueke are injured for this. It's imperative we have pace out wide with Merino up front otherwise we become relatively easy to defend against

USArsenal

We're looking a little flat.. That will hopefully change once we settle into the game.

tazmania

Looking pretty bad so far. We haven't controlled the game like we typically do

Tactics

tazmania They will eventually run out of gas. We just need to stay focussed

Tactics

Why did we play that free kick short ??
