cambridgeshire canary 6,715 Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Lacazette and aubameyang are up top for Arsenal, both taking on Tetty in centreback. Although they are starting Luiz, so not all bad. Thought he was out? Edited July 1, 2020 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NFN FC 1,123 Posted July 1, 2020 Mclean + Trybull = fail Hope I'm wrong! OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,227 Posted July 1, 2020 Team as expected really with Trybull replacing Tettey in midfield. I guess the tactics will be the same as Utd, stay in the game and try and hit them on the break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OTBC I suspect that it's more McClean, Trybull & Rupp. Trybull sitting, with Rupp and McClean providing energy to get up and down the pitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,820 Posted July 1, 2020 Can't see a lot wrong with the lineup, in all honesty. Unlikely to get anything, but I'm not sure what changes I'd have made. Possibly just a switch from 4-2-3-1 to 4-3-2-1 with Rupp in midfield alongside Trybull and McLean. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Making Plans 936 Posted July 1, 2020 I like the line up. It won't be easy but hey, this is the EPL and at the moment we deserve to be here. Just go for it and see what happens. That's all we can do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonyc 5,511 Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) I'm worried that we have a lack of firepower in attack and the midfielders to supply. Plus we have a non CB at CB. Oh well......NMTD. Edited July 1, 2020 by sonyc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FenwayFrank 2,459 Posted July 1, 2020 15 minutes ago, yellowrider120 said: Whilst Farke has zero options defensively that is not the case in midfield or upfront. Unfortunately the boy reveals predictably his boring team selection. Vrancic will leave in August if he's got any sense as Farke refuses to play him. The sole bright spark in the first three games is Onel who has played with energy and pace yet only gets on the pitch once the team goes behind. Our main striker looks shot of confidence yet plays with pretty much zero support and can't head a ball so immediately our attacking threat is severely nullified. His 'deputy' looks hugely out of place at this level whilst our much hyped youngster is consistently ignored. You honestly couldn't make it up! Some of you really need to wake up and smell the coffee! What’s the good news ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Fever 3,772 Posted July 1, 2020 We need at the very least to create chances. That's what has been usually missing this season. I'm hoping we get creative - but then I've hoped against hope all season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,135 Posted July 1, 2020 Who is this ref? i've never seen him before but he's fe(kin useless. He looks like your typical ref, being small and balding, plus he has a clear bias so i get why he's been given a game at the highest level, but ffs, this is frustrating not being able to make a challenge.
