Not sure I have the stomach to watch this live. Very eager to see what sort of line-up, formation, and tactics Arteta deploys, and whether he will deploy anything out of the norm to secure all 3 points...
I know what you mean... I have that feeling about watching Arteta's presser, could be a bit painful to watch, so I'm skipping it. However, I will definitely be watching us Sunday, as I do virtually every match we play. In a virtual sea of Arsenal negativity lately (besides Europa) at least we have a nearly full squad. Pepe serves his last match suspension, but based on his performance Thursday in Ireland I'm not sure we'll miss him too much. Partey is out for weeks after he aggravated his muscle injury. Luiz is doubtful to make the squad, still recovering from head injury, which they portray as a bad cut, rather than a lingering concussion, which I suspect is the real issue. (very sad how he was forced/allowed to play with that) Martinelli seems unlikely since he played in U21 this week, but maybe he'll make a squad and a cameo???
What a matchup. On one side, we have a club whose manager is conservative, likes to sit deep, defend, hit a bunch of crosses into the box and hope to get lucky and snatch a 1-0 victory. On the other side, we have Burnley.
If arteta does this again we lose or draw This hybrid formation of his yields 0 attack creates...gap between mid3rd to final third w 0 service to ABA CB. CB Xhaxa Lwb. Rwb Wilock Lw. Rw St
Lets go with the EL formation. Mari, Gabriel, Chambers AMN, Ceballos, El Neny, Tierney Pepe, Auba, ESR DO IT SVEN
Watching Fulham leading Liverpool (for the time being) and noticed that their XI has only 1 white guy. Pretty much the opposite of Burnley huh?!
The way its listed above, appears to be 4-2-3-1 with Laca at the 10. The way it is listed on instagram looks like a 4-4-2/4-2-2-2 with PEA & Laca together up top.
