Without Mané Liverpool don't look half the team.

Without Mané neither have we.

Quite special that boy.
Helps when Arsenal are beyond ****. No one is holding the ball up at all and they have no defence. We can finish above this Arsenal.
 
Arsenal are an absolute shambles. Their defence is awful as is their midfield in general

There could definitely be a new side in be top 6 this season

It would require us not be scared when we play them. The spine of their team is now awful and they have no defensive organisation

They also haven't even tested the Liverpool defense. Which is the same one that was a shambles a few weeks ago
 
Other than maybe Ospina, you could make a very strong case anyone on Arsenal's bench to have started this game. Maybe even all six of them.

Good job for Arsene that it's only Liverpool away, and he can afford to leave them out...

(Holding? Welbeck? No midfield? A RB/RWB at LWB? A winger/CM at RWB? A LB/LWB at CB? Ozil away from home?)

On paper that's a strong starting line up for Arsenal. Obviously it isn't working, but it's hard to say they don't have the right players on the pitch.
 
Yeah this team selection is crazy. Ramsey and Ozil are not traditional central midfielders. Should've played with Elneny for Ramsay and had a front 3 of Lacazette/Ozil/Sanchez with Xhaka and Elneny sitting back.
 
Chamberlain is a joke. No effort to track back all day. Pathetic attitude. I feel for Wenger. If players don't work on the pitch there's not much you can do from the touchline. Bunch of overpaid prima donna twats.

Cech
Mustafi Koscielny Kolasinac
Bellerin Coquelin Elneny Monreal
Walcott Lacazette Sanchez

If you're going to play 3-5-2/5-3-2, then something like that at least makes some sort of sense to me away from home. (I've no idea why you'd pick Ozil away from home. For all his talent, his work rate is awful. Chambo slightly similar, but not on the same level by any means)

Mustafi is close to leaving according to reports in Italy.

He's not the greatest CB in the world, but Arsenal would be worse off without him.

And Arsene was still happy enough to start Sanchez and Chamberlain...

That is insane. They want to play a back 3 and will be left with only mertersacker, holding and koscielney as recognised central defenders with the new guy and Monreal actually being left backs

It is negligent. As is playing everyone out of position when you have people in the right positions available . Mental
