Naka, Sanson and Fred all being lined-up for exits tomorrow, presumably. With us paying a third of their wages.

It's the most sensible lineup he's picked this season.

Chambers was one of our better performers on Sunday and deserves a place alongside Mings. The same can said of Luiz but he might be off tomorrow. Buendia for Coutinho is a potential improvement though.

How did Konsa keep his place over Chambers?
Luis was far from perfect but we looked overrun in midfield when JJ came on for him.
Our back up left back must be properly shit .

But happy with the front three , I'd have gone into full on rant mode if he'd played his bessy mate again from the start.

Our Steven is now hostage to his own bad decisions. Luiz should be in the team instead of his captain.

Midfield and McGinn especially in his current form is way off the mark to be competitive in this game.
UTV of course, but...

Would have liked Luiz over McGinn but happy with the rest of the team selected.

I just don’t understand - McGinn and Konsa are bang out of form yet here we go again. Kamara looks so much better when he has Luiz alongside - yet he picks Ramsey who by nature what’s to surge forward leaving holes in CM.

Dumbfounded.

If I were Arteta looking at that, I know exactly what I’d tell my players to do, and that’s exactly what they will do.

If you’re Luiz why would ever sign a new contract to stay with us? He is better than McGinn but can’t get a start. It’s utterly stupid

4132?

Could do your fruit in trying to think about it. I'm going to say it's 451, and then see where everybody ends up after 5 minutes.

Btw, I've just come up with a brilliant idea involving fullbacks. So brilliant that I've had to invent a new position to describe them. And I've only had two pints.
