True Blue

Agreed on Tomori superb, and he has only Luiz to thank for giving him this chance as he would probably be loaned out. I was usually on Christensen's back but he has improved under Lampard and looks very solid to be fair. Barkley was super poor and he is so sloppy on the ball. Probably our worst player against Brighton, while the others were all on good form but very poor finishing especially from Pedro who is usually lethal in key chances. Shame for Tammy again in two good chances, should have had at least one just like against Liverpool. Big game on Wednesday against Lille, if we lose don't think we will manage to qualify even a draw would leave us in a bad position. Hope for a strong team and a good performance.

Just because of that shit style in dressing i would drop him

I like Viera style of captains, he takes no shit and is respected by every player from youth to superstar. Cesc was probably the best player in Arsenal at his peak and was captain because of it. From the current bunch i think maybe Leno would be okay? Someone on Sky said Luiz haha i wouldn't let him captain my pub side.

Koscielny that went well

The vote part is silly, they can just vote for the favorite player in the dressing room without him being captain material. Not that we have any but this Arsenal team isn't really full of leaders either.

People saying he wasn't a top center back because Carvalho covered the holes in his game is hilarious. Every CB partnership was about two players covering each other with different qualities.

Ready Player One Meh 6/10

Our first ten against Grimsby was excellent, then we conceded and were poor until the penalty to make it 3-1. In the second we were far far better controlled and even could have gotten a few more. Good to see kids for a change, Odoi and James back to full fitness give us a world of options. The second also scored on his debut and had an assist. Like Cicero said it could be all hype but soon i can see him getting a chance in the league too. Hope he can either be a starter or a very good back up option for a long season. Anjorin was excellent when he came on, had a few good chances but you can see he is very very raw. Overall Lampard gets his first home win, we rest key players for the league can be only happy.

The 3-5-3 is shaky as tits. We force balls on wing backs who can't cross to save their lives. The fixtures aren't too bad so Alonso - Tomori - Rudiger - James/Azpi can handle this.

I just want him gone, felt he was okay for us during his time but never really a key player. Had games where he was Messi and had games where he was Ben Sahar. On the injuries part, don't think Lampard could have forced a player to play. Rudiger played twice for the development team 90+ minutes without a problem. Came back and got injured again. Emerson's injury wasn't that bad and he wasn't rushed but again injured. It is either the medical team or the player that felt fit enough. Injury crisis wise we are Arsenal. Odoi returned for the development team, scored too. Think he and Reece will both have minutes against Grimsby.

I can't wait to see a fully fit team, probably won't be until late December when Ruben returns. We were rarely in injury crises like this one as we always have a few first team players out. Lampard said that Odoi could get minutes against Grimsby, probably Reece too. Meaning they could be in contention for future games. Unpopular opinion Willian should be dropped for good, i'd rather play Odoi and Pulisic as they have time to grow rather to see a 31 year old doing nothing.

Yeah setting the World on fire with those goals too, incredible team really. Great win against the mighty Astana too.

Love the fans calling in and shitting on their teams. Something similar happened for City on the weekend? Bellends.

Both deserve it, i was surprised with Tomori who looks excellent. Maybe the best so far from the current CB disposal. Also the 3-4-3 brought back flashbacks from Conte, wing backs forcing crosses with no bodies to hit. I think we are best suited for 4-2-3-1 with the players we have. I wonder which formation will Lampard chose for Liverpool, think he will go for a deep 433.

Everyone knows I was never his biggest fan, but his words were taken out of context. Basically he means that Real Madrid fans are cry babies who can't accept that a team can lose. Also English fans are by the far the most loyal at least the real one's.

True and our next four games all home Valencia, Liverpool, Grimsby and Brighton. All winnable with Liverpool probably being very tricky, could use these games to heavily rotate and put ourselves in a good position in very competition.

Without Rudiger not so comfortable with Zouma in a back three. I really rate him and i know he is a decent defender but he is not in good form.

Even with the formation?

My team is possible Kepa James Rudiger Christensen Emerson Kante Ruben Odoi Mount Pulisic Tammy However i adapted Ruben but i think he isn't that usefull this deep. Perhaps use him as box to box midfielder. And yes i have the best team

Rochdale and Astana winnable since they are both home to be fair.

Pedro since day one was a model pro and always puts a shift in. Scored some important goals for us too, i wasn't too sure about his signing now in his 5th season still going strong. Still i think that Pulišić and Odoi should start every game when possible ahead of Pedro and Willian who are both 30+.

Great news they were both missed, any news on Pedro?
