Fuuuck, so it’s true.., Martinez is off I get it but still a shame.

I predict a 1-1 draw with a Leno clanger gifting Fulham a goal that would be typical

No surprises with the lineup really although I’m assuming Saliba is already injured as we’ve no centre back on the bench!

Elneny has played all preseason alongside Xhaka whereas Ceballos has barely trained so can’t be surprised by that.

Hoping to see Willian click with Laca and auba

[gooner265]

Saliba has a knock

[mcdowell42]

Only at Arsenal could we have about 8 CBs and 6 of them are out injured for 1st game of the season

I was encouraged a bit lately by the moves arteta and edu have made lately, but I have had two major concerns with arteta since he came in - one was his assessment of his players, and the second was his commitment (or lack thereof) to the younger players, and today suggests neither has changed. One of our best players last season was saka, and today he is ousted for the veteran will i am. How can anyone defend a selection of xhaka and el ninny in midfield ? I see people slate guendouzi and torreira on here in the last few weeks, and I am looking at that midfield partnership and thinking of those fans and am asking "are you sure you dont want to change your opinion ?"

Anyone questioning selling martinez should look at that team selection and quickly understand why we need that money

Ceballos and Nketieh - bit of a square up over what was viewed as a slightly late tackle by one of them but the players told them to cop on and the game resumed. Then when ceballos went to close down nketieh, nketieh kicked the ball at ceballos and they physically squared up and players had to seperate them

In first game of the season ?? In front of tv camera's ?? At training maybe, but not before game
