dont worry about that if you put out a half tidy team you will win the tie as klopp will keep playing the 16-18 year olds.

Well that's the thing: we will be playing 16-18 year olds as well. I expect an open game if we both follow the script. I just hope you guys don't toss on Salah or Mane for the last 15 minutes

Arsenal team to play Standard Liege:

Martinez; Bellerin, Mustafi, Holding, Tierney; Ceballos, Torreira, Willock; Maitland-Niles, Martinelli, Nelson

Subs: Leno, Chambers, Kolasinac, Guendouzi, Xhaka, Pepe, Aubameyang

Bellerin captains the side tonight.

Big news is obviously him, Holding and Tierney all starting together.

Lowkey news is that this side clearly demonstrates who'll be in starting line-up vs Bournemouth on Sunday. The omission of Saka from the squad altogether, presumably in preparation for that game, shows how quickly his stock has risen.

No Ozil again lol. I hope he is gone in Jan and replaced by someone better.

Very exciting team once again. AMN at RW too.

Can see this being a 4-0 win.

Didn't even realise Ozil was missing until now.

It's kinda sad, really.

Wish it had ended better but it is what it is. After that EL final performance he should have been sold the next day.

He will never be sold if he never plays lol.

Stupid decision if that is the thinking.

This situation will continue until summer 2021 when his contract runs out.

Martinelli seems special

LMAOOO AGAIN

2-0 ffs

Martinelli and Tierney wow

Willock gets his seemingly customary cup goal.

Hope we get a big win tonight.

Fantastic performance so far by the kids ffs

I would bring on Pepe second half hopefully he can get on score sheet.

Martinelli should be playing more first team football, what a special kid.

Really cool to see what a big jump Willock has made in comparison to Nelson, who was more highly rated.

Willock is needed in the PL man

Besides the outstanding finishing, it's been a meh showing tbh. Too much space being left in midfield again. Standard Liege have gotten forward just by playing one direct pass.

This is why I don't think Torreira is a great DM. Can't do it on his own.

Don‘t really rate Torreira that highly so not hugely surprised at this performance.

Ceballos is a huge disappointment though, since that Burnley game he has been poor. Keeps the ball for too long and has no end product, offers nothing but side ways passing. Expected a lot more from him.

Gabriel Cavani
tears in my eyes what a player

The main concern for me is, again, the lack of a coherent defence. Just annoys me seeing players standing so high up the pitch but nobody making the effort to close down. Plus Mustafi/Holding being really reluctant to push up the pitch.

I get it's an EL game and all, so the intensity isn't going to be there, but it's a consistent issue.

Ceballos with a tap-in for 4-0.

Martinelli with a great assist, too.

Soooooo.

Mustafi starts and we keep another clean sheet....

4-0 FT. Team did everything to get Martinelli his hat-trick and Pepe a goal, but wasn't to be.

I was happier with the off the ball work in the second half. Ceballos especially was everywhere at once.

Martinelli was amazing. His running off the ball and work rate were exceptional, and he had end product as well. Want to see him get a chance in the PL soon.
