Can see how Richarlison would be good choice - and great for his confidence too. He should be raring to go!Yeah this is the most likely option IMO. I just included Johnson and put Deki in as an 8 because it sounded really fun to watch.
But Richarlison for Solomon and Sonny out at left forward would work really nicely for this match IMO
If that was supposed to be funny, I don't think it worked3-4-3
Lloris
Phillips

Johnson

Solomon
I propose we save our first 11 for our next game where we have a better chance of wiinning. Resting them for this game avoids injuries or suspensions for games which we can win.

I think the only real question here is if Richarlison or Johnson replaces SolomonWhy would we play anything but the team that won last week?
That kind of thinking can lead to complacency imo. Each team offers a different threat. I've there are games when battering ram Richie is better suited up top than son. Games where pacy, direct Johnson better than dribbly Solomon.Why would we play anything but the team that won last week?
I didn’t catch the game last weekend and only saw the highlights but weren’t we losing to Sheff Utd with that starting team until we brought subs on?Yep; if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Agree, only change i would fo for is Royal to look after Martinelli he is a very dangerous player for them.Vicario
Porro
Romero
VDV
Udogie
Bissouma
Sarr
Maddison
Kulu
Son
Solomon
.
Richy & Johnson on around 70 mins.
No need to change a winning team that is playing well however if we want to play it slightly safer we could go for Royal instead of Porro.

Yep agree, I think putting RIchy in for this one is too much pressure on him again, let him make an impact off the bench again if needed and start him against Liverpool at home with our fans behind him. Start Solomon, Son & Deki then bring on Richy and Johnson to run at their tired legs once we are 4-0 up.I think Solomon, Son and Deki should all start again
Agreed, but every side has played a deep low block apart from PSV against them and look how that went. Now I think we have much better players than PSV but still, you give this Arsenal side space they will hurt you.From someone on their forum such arrogant bar stewards:
“They’re getting the usual treatment. Woeful side in transition and haven’t faced anybody near our level. They simply won’t be able to handle us. The Aussie and his low hanging gut aren’t doing anything at the emirates.” idiots.
Gooner at work yesterday also same attitude “you’re no good we are going to smash you”, I simply said “how many of our games have you watched this season?”… “erm none”.
Ok then so it’s just usual Arsenal fan arrogance saying we are crap having not even watched a minute of our games this season . It was the reverse last season when they thought we’d turn them over because we had Conte when we all knew we were going to get a hiding. Can’t wait for them to get a rude awakening when we turn up dominate the game and go 2-0 up early on.
We might win we might lose but I have to say their fans are some of the dumbest and arrogant and most blinkered in terms of when they have a half decent side they make out they’re the Harlem globetrotters and everyone else is absolutely awful.
To describe us as “a woeful side in transition” says absolutely everything about their cretin fanbase.
I do think this game comes slightly too soon in Ange’s project but I certainly wouldn’t rule out a draw or an unexpected win and if so I’d Kevin Keegan “love it”.
They’ve looked pretty poor this season apart from against a weak PSV side, they struggled against Everton, nearly lost the game against Man.U, scraped past Forest and Palace and drew at home to the mighty Fulham but yet they think they’re completely unbeatable.
We’ve scored more goals than them, created more chances per game than them etc etc, sometimes when we are actually a good side and they underestimate us like this it works in our favour.

Conversely, most teams we have played have been compact too but Burnley went for it against us and we bagged five so maybe Arsenal need to be careful too?Agreed, but every side has played a deep low block apart from PSV against them and look how that went. Now I think we have much better players than PSV but still, you give this Arsenal side space they will hurt you.
In what way? He fits in so well, helps us keep possession, challenges going foward.I don't think Soloman is ready to start this game. Off the bench, maybe.
