Newcastle Vs Arsenal

I am so glad Rafa isn't managing them...

Our team is missing some key players though which will make it difficult.

Who to start though?


-----------------------Leno-------------------------------
AMN---------Sokratis------Chambers-----------Monreal
-------------XHAKA--------Torreira-----------------------
---------------------Guendouzi---------------------------
Mkhitaryan------------Auba--------------------Nelson


that looks like a EL team ffs.

but i am sure we will win.

Your facing Steve Bruce mate, if you don't win 6-0 sack Emery imo.

Who is that no 50?

Thanks. Couldn't recognise him

Arsenal.com previews are bunch of graphics with no write up nowdays,i guess thats easier to scroll through than reading large text

if we keep clean sheet we match our away clean sheet(s!)from last season(PL) Already

I hate the new Arsenal.com design. Huge pictures with not much write up and then they will link you into articles that have more links in them.

Miss the old design which was plain and had everything on the front page.

Our first 6 matches are all on TV

Leno; Maitland-Niles, Chambers, Sokratis, Monreal; Guendouzi, XHAKA; Mkhitaryan, Willock, Nelson; Aubameyang

Subs: Martinez, Luiz, Torreira, Ceballos, Martinelli, Pepe, Lacazette

Probably going to be a struggle until the subs come on and save the game.

Mustafi binned for Chambers, in case anyone was wondering what Emery thinks of him now.

Thank you Emery.

Newcastle:

Dubravka; Schar, Lascelles, Dummett; Manquillo, Shelvey, Hayden, Longstaff, Ritchie; Almiron, Joelinton

That bench

bit flat

entire bench would be good to bring on

AUBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Great win

Granted Newcastle didn't threaten us that much but our back 5 were solid.

10 1-0 away wins would do
Willock gonna be useful this season
good win,nice assist by AMN ,Really need to get Pepe and Ceballos up to speed

A good win in the circumstances.

Willock was combative, made good runs and took up good positions in the box. Nelson struggled more, since his decision making was a touch slower than required, which led to him being caught in possession. But considering they were there as stop-gaps, they did okay.

XHAKA and Mkhitaryan struggled, as they usually do. XHAKA's giveaways and reckless defensive play always puts the team in trouble, and Mkhitaryan seems incapable of stringing more than one good action together.

Auba was impressive. He worked hard, got chances despite playing with weaker players, and took his goal very well.

For Ceballos and Pepe, it's all about minutes. Signs of rust from both.

Happy that Martinelli got an appearance. Shows he's going to be involved when the chance arises.

The main thing was the clean sheet and the low number of errors at the back. Not spotless, and Newcastle's attack was weak, but it's already an improvement from last season.

he can be our own Richarlison,not the typical Brazilian flair but good physique and intelligent with positions he takes up

Arsenal attempted 26 dribbles today, last season Arsenal attempted 14 dribbles per game 14th in the League.

Top dribblers v. Newcastle:

4/6 - AMN
3/4 - Nelson
2/2 - Willock
1/1 - Ceballos
1/2 - Guen
1/5 - Mkhi
0/1 - Pepe
0/2 - Auba
0/3 - Monreal

Something to look out for this season. Seems Emery might be encouraging more dribbling.
