Arsenal vs Aston Villa match thread

[Legion]

Would have started Chambers instead of Konsa and Luiz instead of McGinn the Undroppable but what do I know?

[PeterWithesShin]

I reckon we're gonna surprise a lot of people tonight, and only lose 4-0.

[Beard82]

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.

I think from recent analysis it will be the fabled 421111

[eamonn]

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

Can’t see that happening.

How come?

[villadelph]

SG trotted this same lineup out vs Crystal Palace.. so let’s do it again.

[coreyfeldman]

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

No it isn't though. McGinn has been consistently our worst player and that midfield 3 have been torn apart every time they've played together. Chambers has to play over Konsa

[cdbearsfan]

Konsa was decent on Sunday, I thought.

[Legion]

What has Nakamba done so wrong compared to last season?

[PeterWithesShin]

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

Same one as at Palace.

[PaulWinch again]

Here comes the pain. The shape looks ok, but with McGinn and Ramsey they’ll just run through that midfield.

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

Pity Chambers isn't starting: thought he was one of our better players on Sunday. Also, where's Archer?

[Legion]

On the bench.

[Beard82]

Pity Chambers isn't starting: thought he was one of our better players on Sunday. Also, where's Archer?

Think they said he had a slight knock

[TaxDodger]

We're going to lose. They're going to do a reasonable amount of scoring. We are probably not going to do any scoring.

[Legion]

He has, to his hip.
