The sad thing is, there isn’t a single tactical choice he can make which will majorly influence the outcome of this
Cedric will still be RB
Lokonga or Elneny - meh
Saka LWB, Nuno or Xhaka - all totally shit options
Lacazette or Nketiah - not a jot of difference
As for Martinelli down the middle - we will end up ruining him too. He hasn’t got the game for it in our formation
If we still had Chambers, Saliba, Guendouzi, Torreira and signed a replacement for Auba, we would have options. But we didn’t, so we haven’t
Honestly - whatever the line up, it won’t matter the odds. We are absolutely fucked
Pepe ? …….you’ve not mentioned Pepe

Well......there is actually that chance he could have one of his 1 in 10 worldie matches........but think that was his sub's appearance against Wolves
I'd literally completely forgotten about him, but indeed he could be added to the "won't make the slightest difference" list of options

Might win but could well lose too. We’re very much a confidence team so I’m expecting a rather dodgy disjointed performance whatever the result!

That’s the defence/midfield we should have played against Brighton. Arteta reverting to that is about as close as you’ll get to him accepting he caused a tactical clusterfuck last week.
Nketiah to score?…. Anyone?

We simply have to win this. No fucking excuses. I will ban any cùnt that comes on here making excuses if we lose this. The scum have gone full sperzy and gifted us a fee one today. This is where we need the manager to install a full on fucking win at all costs mentality in the players. The players need to go out there and prison rape the shit outa the saints.
NO FUCKING EXCUSES.
COME ON ARSENAL!!!

I'd have swapped out Elninny for Clive. Elninny is not a good footballer but is 100% better than Clive and makes less retarded mistakes than Clive. Ultimately neither should be at Arsenal but as my dead granny is not available to replace him, getting rid of Clive is a priority.
If Nketiah can score against anyone it has to be against LLLLDL Southampton....
