Don't like the look of this one. Mitrovic is everything we struggle against. They do have pace and trickery in their team too.

But we are still better.

Yea this could be a potential bump in the road.
Would take another grind out win tbh.

Don't know when exactly to expect us to perform better, but it will most likely not come in an away derby game.

Ozil out with a back spasm. Team:

Leno; Bellerin, Mustafi, Holding, Monreal; Torreira, XHAKA; Iwobi, Mkhitaryan, Welbeck; Lacazette

Subs: Martinez, Sokratis, Lichtsteiner, Kolasinac, Guendouzi, Ramsey, Aubameyang

Maybe we'll buck the trend of poor and disjointed first half performances today.

Think we will start well and end the game poorly this time once Ramsey comes on

Laca is elite ffs

Played well until Monreal gave it away and gifted them a goal.

There was absolutely no need for that. Smash it up if there isn't an option ffs

Bellerin has no right to be in the starting line up, Lich has been playing so much better.

Plus, we have to blame the whole left side for the goal conceded, no one was close to Monreal for him to pass to, who inturn passed it like a moron along the ground instead of hitting it up the field.

Child like mistakes

Monreal

Now we have to fight and assert ourselves again in the second half to win the game.
That was promising though. Iwobi out on the left is really providing us with much needed balance, and movement we displayed for a stretch there in the half was some of best we've played so far this season. We just need to make the ball stick and move it a bit faster in the second half.

Arsenal defenders and errors that lead to goals, won't find a better duo

We can still win this game, if we had some control (Ozil) we would've been up 2-3 goals up already. Shame he's out.

XHAKA needs to come to take the ball from the midfielders instead of jogging around.

Who's actually playing the 10 role? Welbeck

Looks like a 4-4-2

It's been more like a 4-4-2 today with Welbeck close to Lacazette. Hasn't looked too bad, either.

So Emery will play Welbeck and Lacazette upfront but not Aubameyang and Lacazette

Hopefully this is a sign for things to come.

Think it's because of Welbeck being a half midfielder and half striker. His work rate is immense.

Lacazette and Aubameyang celebrating with DT.

WATTBA

Best performance in years.

That was very encouraging to see. International break coming at the wrong time then
We can but hope we keep this type of performance going once we get back to things in a fortnights time. Hopefully Emery doesn't go stupid with Laca - Auba - Ramsey - Ozil attack again

TopFour is coming home guys. Cheers

The best thing today was how most of our players played in their preferred role. 4-4-2 worked for all the players.

Damn I decided to head out because I was sure it would be another template performance. Hope to watch the highlights later now

Been using arsenal in a 4-4-2 formation in fifa 19. Laca and Auba upfront. Scored at least 4 5 goals average against juve, madrids, barcas and man utds etc
