Wenger may well be going strong, but that’s an unbelievably weak bench.

SB Still

CoYG, let’s get the job done, with a win.

We are nicely building up the confidence and form for the business end of this tournament.

Danny

Come on!!!!

LonelyLonesome

Kolasinac 🙁

Jimbo Jones

In the bench. Good solid backup

SantiSandler

Both he and Monreal are good in the final third but Monreal is much tidier with the ball and is a bit ahead of him defensively. I love me some Kola but this is the sensible move

Scott P

This team should have more than enough to complete the job. Let’s get out there and do it! COYG

Completely unrelated, but also thoroughly enjoying seeing everyone completely turn on Kane in the current BBC article surrounding his appeal to be awarded a goal. What more would you expect from such a small team mentality?

David C

so lame, I really hope Salah wins the golden boot. Wish we bought him, what a bargain for 35 million pounds.

Paul

No Iwobi that’s ok. Mert on the bench why, alongside two other CBs? Anyway it looks good COYG!

Paul

I meant in the starting lineup sorry.

Paul

No scrub that…

Ponsonby gooner

No Iwobi?

goongot

Any news about iwobi? Ill?

Where is iwobi?

A Hector is Haunting Europe

Heartbroken that I had to give my ticket away for this one…. had ACL reconstruction surgery today in Moscow (live here) performed by a CSKA supporter…. COYG!!!

Merlin's Panini

Iwobi is not even on the bench. Is he injured?
I figured only he or Welbeck would start rather than both, but for him not to be included is surprising.

Henrykamp

Gosh! Our bench is so weak.

COYG anyways

Wizard of Ozil

Iwobi injured? Would have thought he was in contention to start over Jack, instead not in the squad. COYG!! #LoveEuropaLeague

thejw1

Iwobi not even listed?
Or is this part of increased security measures?

After last week I must admit I worry most about Jack giving the ball away.

GoonerMac

3-1 to the Arsenal…..come on!!

Double98

That looks like a 442 or a 4411

Gio

3 Cbs on the bench? wtf

Brent

Almost all subs are defense. Appropriate.

Chidi

I’d be more comfy with Iwobi on the bench at least!
Success to my darling gunners! Coyg

Hurensohn

Iwobi injued?

Bois

Oh my… where is Iwobi the Great?!

Rogue Gooner

3 centre backs on the bench when we could have had willock in there. More Wenger madness.

Public Elneny

The league is the competition for youngsters now, no point risking our only route back into the CL

Public Elneny

CSKA with the same back 3 – great news!

gazzap

Expected team but I’d rather see Chambers in there than Mustafi who seems to have his mind elsewhere these days.

EZD

Where’s Iwobi? Is he injured?

Welshman

Special night for the “Lads” family… Although “Other Chaps” is pushing hard for a first team place…

Bois

oh my! Where is Iwobi the Great?

UGooner

Could it be Iwobi instead of Nelson?

Dennis

Do we not have any midfielders for the bench????
