    Same with Archer. He's hardly played and looked OK when he did.

    Yeah, his last two selections suggest desperation looking for a miracle solution.

    Yeah. But I'm more frustrated with the Cornet situation because we choose to use our second and final PL slot on him. If Martin doesn't want him, or if Cornet isn't physically up to it, then it's a total waste of that second slot. Which angers me.

    Manning @ LW would be my guess. I'm not going to knock it until i've seen it in action. Nothing to lose today.

    Ryan Fraser misses out through illness today. Would have started.

    Adam Lallana load being managed through the other side of the break.

    I'm thinking that. But could also see it being Aribo on the left, with Manning replacing Lesley in CM.

    ****ing hell is that? What formation are we even playing with those players? Why do we have 6 CBs at the club, 2 of which we brought in in the summer…and potentially playing a back 3 with one of the 3 a LB who is mid table championship level at best and hasn’t been near the squad let alone starting line up and certainly not at CB? AND no CBs on the bench? Bit weird Cornet and Fraser dropping out completely too unless injured. Both feel like ‘impact sub’ players atm. We were always going to get slaughtered today regardless so trying not to be too frustrated by Martins weird tinkering. At least we are playing a striker I suppose.

    Badly Bought Disaster retains his place on the bench though...

    Surely Manning is not left back? That would be disastrous. I mean I know we'll lose but still.

    I doubt we'll even win possession-game today.

    Yeah Arsenal away seems like the perfect opportunity to give Manning his first taste of PL football. Genius.

    Not far from the ground. Might turn around and go join an open bus tour instead.

    Martin has somehow, with his team selection, lowered my expectation of getting something from the game. It was at 0%.

    Don't understand why Taylor was dropped or if this is a 5-3-2 or 4-3-3. Maybe changes depending on possession.
