Arsenal take on Molde in Norway this evening, looking to make it four wins out of four in our Europa League group.
Lots of changes as expected, here are tonight’s official line-ups.
Molde: To follow
Subs:
Arsenal: Runarsson, Cedric, Mustafi, Luiz, Maitland-Niles, Willock, Xhaka, Nelson, Pepe, Nketiah, Lacazette.
Subs: Macey, Hein, Bellerin, Tierney, Ceballos, Holding, Smith Rowe, Balogun, Azeez, Cottrell
Good line up
Yes, very good and smart line up. Let’s hope Pepe has a great game and forgets the Leeds game.
Let’s hope he uses his head … or perhaps not.
I just hope he smiles after he scores. He always looks like he just got out bed at 5 am after scoring.
First half over, Pepe is Pepe.
I was really hoping to see Smith Rowe start but I’ll be happy if he gets some decent minutes as a sub.
4-4-2? I’d like to see one with Pepe and Auba up top in the PL after Pepe’s suspension
442?
4-1-3-2 i guess
Pepe starts, but will he finish?
What’s with the downvotes people? Its a good joke!
The possibility of anyone finishing atm is a nice thought…
Mikel, please may I gracefully request that Eddie does not play this game on the wing. Please.
I dont understand Arteta anymore. It seems he creates teams to make everyone happy rather than for a set plan.
Why is Nketiah and Laca, both there? They are both front men, and I dont see them ever starting together in a PL game. So, why try it?
Also, Xhaka and Willock seems a flimsy midfield, so not sure of them together either.
And AMN is not a left back, so why keep putting him there? If he is a future Arsenal LB, then stop playing Saka as a wing back, and always use AMN there
Maybe Laca will be playing a deeper connecting?
role
Does Arteta think that is Laca’s position in the future? If yes, great try it.
But I have my reservations.
Laca’s speed has sort of dried up, so hopefully this positioning would take advantage of his holdup play and getting the ball over to Nketiah. Hopefully.
Europa League might well be more exciting then the Premier League right now. At least we have the chance of a goal or two.
Great to see Nelson and Pepe start. Hopefully Smith-Rowe gets on too.
Thanks, looking forward to seeing to seeing the young players in particular
Who is Hein?
Back Up GK. Karl Hein. Estonian
thanks!
I see arsenal losing this match. #artetaout
Bullshit
With fams like you, who needs rivals?
Piss off back to Shite Hart Lane, you troll.
Let’s hope we can get the jun dob
Got some paint drying in the spare room, so I really have a tough decision as to whether I watch that or arsenal in the second half.
No goals after 45mins but three shots on target in the first half … is this a (recent) record?
Great performance, guys. Keep it up.
Goals will be flowing soon
Arteta at halftime: “Lads, it’s Molde.”
