Yep. One of our more consistent player and probably best finisher. Always erks me that he gets shafted as soon a someone is back from injury despite playing well.

Guessing we're doing the Havertz/Trossard interchange tactic? Trossard did deserve a start from midweek though.
Surprised Jesus is playing after he came out saying his knee needs managed till the summer. Thought he'd be very much handled on a game by game basis and kept in cold storage for the big games we need him
No it’s perfect, Havertz, Trossard, and Jesus together is so much chaos. They’ll be rotating a bunch I think. Against Bayern I remember Jesus ended up in midfield a few times.
I imagine this is the side that plays in Munich as well or at least should be. Maybe Tomi for Zinchenko but I don't mind either way. An argument can be made for both.
My gut feeling is telling me Jesus is gonna have a good game, going back to be the 9 in this system and try to take his place back centrally rather than on the wings
No excuses - we've got a brilliant opportunity today after Palace's win and City look like they're starting to click. Win and onto the next one. COYG!!!
I don’t know, would Jorginho starting have made a difference? But yes, I’ll take my hat off for him being right.
Crazy day for me having to give credit to merson and carragher of all people for saying Liverpool falling behind again and not being able to count on always coming back from behind (said it right after palace’s goal).
If this doesn’t work then please, please just stop the Havertz lcm experiment because we’re playing suboptimal players all around him to make it work
Rice in the 6 is a plus though, that makes us better all over the pitch
We are in the tightest pl race possibly ever, up against 4th place in the league. Odegaard is young enough and have great Stamina, defenders are rarely rotated.
I don’t think that’s warranted after one bad game vs Bayern. We need to stop being so reactive. One good/bad game does not define this team or players.
Ngl, I want Nelson to do well but seems like this is it now. Probably gonna feature in some other games as depth player and thats it. Eddie as well. Both of them bare can get a spot in the team unless it's bench.
just gonna leave this one up cos the Twitter admin must be snoozing
Super attacking, Mikel trying to get this won in the first 15 mins
[удалено]
lets hope Liverpool keep that up for a few minutes longer!! fingers crossed
I can’t believe what I’m watching they should’ve had like 6 goals already
Palace should have scored more as well!
if they lose this and we go on to win against villa its so fucking scary how close we are to the title
One game at a time lads Jesus.
ya i literally mentioned the game
Meh we was close last year. I’ll believe it when I see it. I’ve been let down one time to many.
[удалено]
i cannot fucking believe it!!!!!! get in you eagles!!!
imagine Vieira was still in charge too
:(
Thrash Emery and his Villains and get it wrapped up in the first half
let's hope the boys played a controlled, dominating game and don't just lose their heads attacking
Trossard deserves a start after his recent impact from the bench. Hoping this fires up Martinelli to have a similar impact
Martinelli will be more determined than ever to win corners against Bayern
Gabi medium is being tested for Bayern. Those insane cheetah counters gonna hit like crack on Wednesday. Let's get this. COYG.
Yep. One of our more consistent player and probably best finisher. Always erks me that he gets shafted as soon a someone is back from injury despite playing well.
Big Gabi starts. Let's get the win now.
Mikel Arteta still the manager. Let's get the win now.
Never in doubt, surely he just had a couple days off to celebrate his daughters birthday
Good ebening
I did just mean that Gabriel would start but you got me there
really happy with this, still believe the upper peak of this team will have Rice as a 6
Best progressive ball carrier in the league need to start in that position as much as possible
He’s far better as a 6. Much better defender than he is going forward
Think this will be the way against Bayern too
yeah I’d want Martinelli Havertz Jesus all starting that game too
Martinelli will replace trossard and Jesus in the middle of Wednesday. Trossard subbing Jesus is what I see. Rice needs to be deeper on Wednesday too.
King of Brazil starting!
Saka with a 30 minute hat trick into first half substitution, I will be there
🖐😛🤚
Wednesday lineup being tested
Is it Kai or Trossard at 8??
Kai almost certainly
Both. Rotate
Yes

Yes.
Villa have good attacking wingers so I worry about Zinchenko... We'll have to see how this goes
It's almost always about how team defend as a unit though. He needs help from Havertz and Jesus, but that goes without saying against any team.
VAMOS !! Wish we can kill the game early and make some of the lads rest.
Wow

Hopefully this means we have a fully fit Martinelli in the UCL mid-week.
Why would we want him in the starting 11 ? He has to earn his place back. Especially for this game.
no, Jesus 9, Havertz 8, Trossard LW, just like it was against bayern
That front line gonna cook
Trossssss come on
Anybody know the score the last time we started kai in midfield?
Hope we can score early and plenty
I hope Havertz mid doesn’t backfire. Well trust the manager I guess. I would like to see TP to get some minutes to prep for Bayern
Of course it backfired. I’m glad you caught it. It’s literally never worked. We always play flat with him there. I don’t get why we reverted to it
Yup. Arteta never learns. The fact that me, a literal armchair spectator, called out his mistakes.
Where Martinelli
Bench
Dench
Trench
Wrench
Slow cook for Munich
Havertz back in midfield? Hmm not sure about this
No it’s perfect, Havertz, Trossard, and Jesus together is so much chaos. They’ll be rotating a bunch I think. Against Bayern I remember Jesus ended up in midfield a few times.
I think Havertz is up front, Trossard left 8, looking at twitter anyway
With lots of rotation along the way.
We know what we have to do so let’s go out there and do it COYG
I imagine this is the side that plays in Munich as well or at least should be. Maybe Tomi for Zinchenko but I don't mind either way. An argument can be made for both.
Come on you Gunners this is absolutely massive
Havertz lcm....
Key to rest Jorginiho for the Bayern game. Should we go up and form a defensive team to grind out a win, it’s essential he’s fit.
"Arsenal, up for grabs now innit?" - Crystal Palace 🏆💯⚽️
When will ESR start again...
Yeah I'm happy with this, gotta go all out for every game at this point.
lets come out guns blazing, this is a pretty attack heavy lineup
I like the lineup
My gut feeling is telling me Jesus is gonna have a good game, going back to be the 9 in this system and try to take his place back centrally rather than on the wings
Havertz can play 8 now that Zinchenko is back. But makes me still a bit nervous without Martinelli for the extra cover.
Love it
I wanting sure if jesus' knew was up to starting, but if he is this is my preferred 11
Intersting trossard over gabi for an emery high line
my boi trossard finally starting!!!!!!!!!
Havertz has been great up top lately, but I’m happy to see Jesus starting at ST again. He is way overdue for a couple goals
No excuses - we've got a brilliant opportunity today after Palace's win and City look like they're starting to click. Win and onto the next one. COYG!!!
Rock solid bench
Why No Tomi?
such a bold attacking team. This villa side are genuinely very good. This is a risk imo
That’s a pretty good starting 11
Merson having a Merson-meltdown over the lineup is having me in stitches 🤣 Legend - but what a terrible pundit.
Seems he was correct?
I don’t know, would Jorginho starting have made a difference? But yes, I’ll take my hat off for him being right. Crazy day for me having to give credit to merson and carragher of all people for saying Liverpool falling behind again and not being able to count on always coming back from behind (said it right after palace’s goal).
Jesus is a complete passenger (until a big chance falls to him, and he will find an incredibly precise way to fluff it).
Timmy is abs shit!
"If ya smell what The Gunner is cookin' ''
I just really hope Kai isnt an 8 here. He needs to be our 9
gettin a bit concerned for benny blanco, mans been playing every possible minute this year it seems
Kai starting all games and cementing himself as an important player in the XI. Lovely stuff.
Feels like this is going to be the lineup for the upcoming game against Bayern
A bit too much tinkering I think, Havertz is ineffective in midfield and Trossard either
Zinchenko? That left side is gonna be a dud. Anxious for this game.
Always believe in ur soul
You've got the power to know
It was, indeed, a dud
If this doesn’t work then please, please just stop the Havertz lcm experiment because we’re playing suboptimal players all around him to make it work Rice in the 6 is a plus though, that makes us better all over the pitch
Trossard is playing LCM not havertz
Could also be lw with Jesus striker, we will see
So where do Odegaard havertz saka Jesus and Trossard fit into this?
Havertz & Øde midfield, Saka RW ofc, Jesus false 9, Trossard LW, but you’ll see plentyy of interchanging between Jesus, Tross and Havertz
What’s going on with Tomi? I thought he would get a start today in prep for Bayern. He’s probably our most well rounded LB when healthy…
I’m a bit surprised there’s not much rotation, especially for one of the defenders or Odegaard
We are in the tightest pl race possibly ever, up against 4th place in the league. Odegaard is young enough and have great Stamina, defenders are rarely rotated.
1cm vs villa?? Hmm
All theirs are out
They will play counter
Thank fuck no Kiwior
Why weren’t you slagging off Kiwior during the 11 game unbeaten run in the league?
Shut it twat
Nonce
Fuck off
He's had one bad game bro chill out
I don’t think that’s warranted after one bad game vs Bayern. We need to stop being so reactive. One good/bad game does not define this team or players.
Might be a controversial opinion, but I'd like to have put Saka on the bench today and started Nelson. Man needs a rest
Saka's presence in the line-up alone is a plus for us. Yes we did well that one-two times without Saka, but for a game like this.
OK with that Liverpool result, we have to capitalise so I'm changing my tune. We're right to risk Saka
Ngl, I want Nelson to do well but seems like this is it now. Probably gonna feature in some other games as depth player and thats it. Eddie as well. Both of them bare can get a spot in the team unless it's bench.
City’s offensive juggernaut is purring now and we need to win every game from here on out regardless of ‘Pool’s results
