Brighton (A) postponed due to The Apocalypse.

[Gunner Rob]

A 1-0 defeat

11 committed players with a known system versus 11 strangers who rolled in from the beach without a system or the faintest idea of what the starting XI will be on any given week

A first 20 minute flurry before Duffy, Dunk or Murray nod in a free kick or corner, followed by 70 minutes of sterile, walking football. Not Arteta’s fault though because of all the shit Emery bought like Leno and Martinelli

the usual negativity on here after a defeat I see.
what people forget is that the defeat against Manchester City was the first league defeat this year.

I think we will easily have enough to beat Brighton tomorrow.

The usual negativity, coming on the back of the usual limpdicked effort at City where we didn't manage a single shot on target for 90 minutes. Forgive me for not bowing at the feet of the super coach or blaming 'special circumstances' but isn't there something of a repeat feel about the whole thing. 1 point above Palace and Burnley with 9 games to go. 42 points from the top, 13 points above the drop zone. Remind me what there is to feel upbeat about?

Well for starters if we win today we go above Spurs in the table!

[goonersid]

Can envisage a complete capitulation over the remaining games, resulting in a 13th - 14th finish.
We’re fucked

I must admit - the prospect of that fucktard Maureen imploding again and screwing up everything they'd been building is a reason to be cheerful!

[nut flush gooner]

If we win today, and I know its a big if we go 3 points behind manure.

Arteta needs to ram that into the thick skulls of every Arsenal player, and tell them they are playing for their Arsenal futures.

Team looks a lot stronger than Wednesday night. Big day for Holding. Come on ta FUCK

Martinelli still on bench ?? Behind saka who looked as disinterested as he was shite the other night ?? Fcuk off arteta

Who the fcuk is he playing alongside guendouzi and ceballos ? Is he going 4-4-2 ?

[g88ner]

Who the fcuk is he playing alongside guendouzi and ceballos ? Is he going 4-4-2 ?

Saka.

It’ll be a midfield 3 with Saka in front of Ceballos and Guendouzi.

Aubameyang will play from the left as usual I’d imagine.

[rodders999]

Guendouzi as deepest midfielder, Ceballos ahead as RCM, Saka as LCM. Laca and Pepe flanking Auba hopefully, or Laca up top.

Fuck knows.

Saka’s been a revelation this season Augie, harsh to want him binned off after one poor game back.

IF he is going with 4-3-3 then surely you would play maitland-niles alongside guendouzi and push ceballos into the "10" ? He cant start ozil after dropping him out of the squad altogether wednesday night, but the guy playing off the front boys has to be a baller that can see a pass, and saka is not that type of player imo

It isnt that I want him binned as such, but martinelli has to start for me - saka was woeful the other night but he looked totally disinterested and that pissed me off more. I wonder if he is already made up his mind to leave

[mcdowell42]

Anyone recommend a decent stream to watch this

[augie]

Poor old holding is on a hiding to nothing - arteta had to pick him but how rusty must he be ?

[goonertux]

Yes, we get the intent, but how long will the ‘Black Lives Matter’ be on the shirts?

[rodders999]

Game is wide open, 5-5 incoming.

[GoonerMuzz]

Poor old holding is on a hiding to nothing - arteta had to pick him but how rusty must he be ?

Can only hope it spurs him on unlike others in the squad
