Arsenal take on Newcastle United at St James Park as we look to pick up where we left off before the Interlull with another victory.
Unai Emery obviously liked what he saw against Cardiff, he’s sticking to the same starting XI.
Here are today’s official line-ups.
Newcastle United: Dubravka, Yedlin, Lascelles, Fernandez, Dummett, Ritchie, Hayden, Diame, Murphy, Perez, Joselu
Subs: Darlow, Clark, Manquillo, Shelvey, Kenedy, Rondon, Muto
Arsenal: Cech, Bellerin, Monreal, Mustafi, Sokratis, Xhaka, Guendouzi, Ozil, Ramsey, Lacazette, Aubameyang
Subs: Leno, Lichtsteiner, Holding, Elneny, Torreira, Mkhitaryan, Welbeck
Wanted to see the Terrier but guess we’ll have to wait.
COYR.
Kind of wonder if the calf issue he had with Uruguay might have something to do with it. sure he was training and he’s on the bench, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s 100%.
30 minutes up and we have been piss poor to say the least.
Newcastle haven’t been better either, overall lack of quality in the game.
Customary Mustafi gaff already completed in the game.
Why no Torreira! #timefortorreira
I honestly don’t understand why Torreira isn’t starting yet..
You can’t as you don’t see him in training, don’t know how good he’s speaking english yet and is able to communicate with his team mates and don’t know exactly what the tasks for Xhaka and Guendouzi have been in the past games and therefore can’t judge if they’ve done what Emery asked them to do or not. So trust the manager and support the team that is playing. #COYG
Pray that he puts Ramsey out wide and let him track back. At least his running up and down might be of use. Play Ozil 10 with lacazette and Aubameyang coming in he could be devastating. Was really pleased with tactics report two weeks ago that highlighted Ozil influence in Cardiff game. So many cunts buy into narrative created and don’t know what their watching
You’re very smart, we get it
Poisonous stuff Raphael.
COYG.
#NoTimeForTorreira 🙁
Playing Xhaka and Guendouzi in the middle again…. I give up
Jeez. Giving up already hu? Here s to nine long months. COYG
Okay then give up. Just don’t tell us about it!
Fly a plain about it and tell the world.
*Plane
Xhaka MoTM? Anything to add?
Okay. Breathe. Breathe. No I can’t! Why are we not starting Torreira?!
Torreira not starting because on international games
? no torriera? Coyg
A win puts us level with Spuds! COYG!
If Torreira had a knock over the international break why are people surprised he’s not starting? Seems like desperation to see him start is making people be a bit illogical
I’d be interested in seeing some changes, too. Mostly goal and MF. That said Unai said he wouldn’t switch team 100% for Europe, so maybe he’ll experiment there to figure out some tweaks to his starting XI. Hopind so!
thank god we have lacca starting, we need his GOALS
whats with all this torreira nonsense, if he is not good enough for the team, then he is not good enough, he is a good back up
if ozil doesn,t play well in this game, then there is no hope for him, he should be benched
Finally, Torreira is in. Let’s see that magic pass
Our away wins are like London buses. You wait for so long then two come at once. Good win on the road against the Toons.
Good away win today but our careless defending cost us a clean sheet. We should start Leno in the next match to give Cech a rest.
