Premier League |Brighton & Hove Albion vs Arsenal| 26/12/18 - 17:15|

[SydneyGooner]

Arsenal XI: Leno; Lichtsteiner, Sokratis, Koscielny, Kolasinac; Xhaka, Guendouzi, Torreira; Ozil, Aubameyang, Lacazette

Subs: Cech, Nketiah, Ramsey, Maitland-Niles, Iwobi, Elneny, Willock.

Can't complain about the line up. That's as close to full strength as we can get.

Agreed as long as it is reverting to a back 4 and not a back 3 with xhaka - if ever there is a recipe for disaster, it is playing xhaka in the middle of the defence

It looks like it will be 4-3-3. Could be that Emery has decided to throw the Liverpool game away to get a much needed result in this one.

Koscielny?? Ive a feeling all gooners boxing day is about to get even worse

[Perryashburtongroves]

Good to see us in our third kit. I always think blue and blue clashes a lot less than blue and red.

[augie]

Get in there

[Perryashburtongroves]

That's a beautiful finish.

[SydneyGooner]

Great work from Lacazette there.

[Leyton Gooner]

Hope that incident wakes us up

[DB10GOONER]

Nice to see Kos still has that habit of falling asleep in his own box....

[Perryashburtongroves]

Brave work that from Leno. That Brighton bloke can piss off back to non-league and great to see the players all get round the ref and let him know what thatbl thought.

[DB10GOONER]

As much as I like and rate the Boomerang he misses too many of those.

[Perryashburtongroves]

This lot are shit and we should be 3 up.

[DB10GOONER]

Amateur hour at the back again....

[Perryashburtongroves]

That is terrible. Fucking terrible.

[augie]

Amateur hour at the back again....

Once upon a time it was shit your pants time everytime we conceded a corner or free kick near our penalty area - now it is shit your pants time when we win a corner up the other end of the pitch

[xisstential]

We are a poor side with one of the worst back 4's in the PL.
