Doesn’t look that bad. Hoping we go on a run of 7 consecutive 1-0 victories before our players return.

Not being greedy but I’d prefer a 14 straight winning streak in the league

Andrew the Hinckley Gooner

I make over $19,000 a month online. It’s enough to comfortably replace my old job’s income, and I only work around 11 to 12 hours a week from home. I was surprised at how simple it was after I tried it…

I actually have a feeling Raheem will be decent with an extended run of games. Hope my gut feeling is right , because that would be huge for us!

Scrubbychubby

Cometh the hour and all that. Rooting for him.

Dinosauras

Get a goal – sub off the front line entirely. Would be sadly hilarious.

Bobbert

George Graham special?

Goonerrific

Let’s fucking do this… drop your negativity at the door and get behind the lads we have!!

COYG!

Up4GrabsNow!

Agree 100%. Despite the injuries up front, we have a very strong back 5 and midfield to get us through games. Siege mentality time!

Ebo

I like this, disrupt the base of our team as little as possible, only front three have changed. Our defense and midfield should hopefully get us a clean sheet, and the front three just need to score or create one goal between them. COYG

Carloz

Can we order some steriods for Sterling please?

Billy bob

Now would be a good time for sterling to click into gear 👍 I wonder who is going to play where across the front three?

Dada

I imagine it would be a pretty fluid front three

Andrew the Hinckley Gooner

GREAT

Bobbert

Or a slim fast

Hlebs socks

Isn’t that we go to Dubai for?

K9ine

It is what it is. Let’s all hope for no further injuries cos it’s bare bones as it is. Having zinchenko play one of the forward positions won’t be a bad experiment.

DefaultGray

White returns to the bench! I know Timbers been good in his absence but I still think Ben White takes us up a level, no better FB in the league for me

Santi’s Phonebox

Was never going to start his first game back from such a long injury.

Carloz

actually praying for Raheem’s 1st PL goal for us…or 2

Tony

Calafiori should have been up front.

Randy

I’m not pessimistic about our situation. I’m gutted and angry but also proud of what we have. An excellent spine and some raw talent coming through with real steel! We are growing something and I feel like we need a couple heads to add to the dragon! So to speak. Keep momentum and build belief, hoping Sterling surprises me and Nwaneri keeps building. 3 points. COYG!!!

Billy bob

I’m hoping my messages stop being held up in the “awaiting approval” lounge lol been like it for years unfortunately and have no idea why!! But yes, I am hoping sterling steps up today 👍

Mkh

If it’s for yours then its your name not messages!

Mkh

Ironically, my reply to you got moderated!

Deano

Not the strongest front three but some goals could boost some confidence.

Great to see Ben White back in the squad.

Chris

You say that as if that front 3 was not what you expected.

Fatgooner

I wanted to see Merino up front.

Scrubbychubby

Option off the bench maybe? But there’s still 3 fit forwards so not quite there yet.

TeeCee

You are Mystic Meg posting as Fatgooner and ICMFP!

nanogunner

You got your wishes.

Mark

At least we have plenty of defensive options on the bench (6 out of the 8 field subs are defenders, must be a record number). Just hope Sterling shows up today. Great to see White back in the squad.

Arsemusic

Hard not to feel a bit worried with all thats going on but we’re definitely a team that knows how to play without a recognised forward so time to put pressure on the dippers. COYG

Bobbert

Ben white. That is all.

Bobbert

I can literally post anything here and one guy will crawl out of the woodwork to down vote it. Find something to be happy about, friend, life is short, and you’ll end up alone.

Bleeding gums Murphy

Get butler on for Trossard and tierney left wing for Sterling. The pair of em are shocking.

Tel

Wow MLS taking corners, what can’t this lad do!

FMT

Oh my! Sterling seems to be working real hard to be bad today!

Mkh

Can’t believe he is 30 and Vardy is 38.

Daveod

Put the academy kid on and take Sterling off. Just send him away he doesn’t belong here

Bleeding gums Murphy

Trossard is just as bad if not worse. Put butler on for Trossard and Tierney for Sterling. Any positivity I had has completely evaporated watching Trossard and Sterling. Unless our 17 year old pulls a rabbit out the hat we will be lucky to still be in top four in 6 weeks time

Daveod

Thr offside count alone is criminal, wouldn’t mind if they were just offside in a dangerous area but their offside hogging the touchline 30 yards from goal, its embarrassing

FMT

Toward will do better from the left flank. Arteta should put any body in the middle, move Trossard to the left and can Sterling. Jeez!🙄

Bleeding gums Murphy

Trossard is pants

Left Testicle

Well, half-time and this is worse than expected. Sterling is disinterested and both him and Trossard don’t understand the offside rule. This isn’t the answer, but will Arteta be proactive and change or give it 3 more games to work? We haven’t got 3 games to make it work!

Hlebs socks

Love love love Nwaneri! Let’s stay positive!

Unknown

Sterling needs to come off and let trossard move back to LW. Sterling is slowing everything and everyone down. At this point hook Sterling and put new boy on as a ST and take your chances. Another option is Jorghino on, Trossard LW and Ødegaard as false 9 simply because he’s good on the ball and can hold up play up top. 3rd option is Calafiori on and move Lewis-skelly at LW but for gods sake take Sterling off.

vieiraera

He should never wear an arsenal shirt again. Such a waste

Ealing

White for sterling; Jt lb; mls lw

Daveod

Sick of this, groundhog day team

Daveod

Never in doubt ☺️☺️☺️ apologies

FMT

Merino…the secret weapon of mass destruction!
10/10 to Arteta!
