not sure there is enough creativity ibn this team

chris wood is on form so keep him away from the goal. he isn't a speed demon but makes very clever angled runs. no way mustafi deals with them. so push up to the half way line and make him run half the pitch. thats what i think arteta's plan is anyway. whether we can dominate the game away will be interesting.

Arteta on Mustafi starting: “We had issues in that position for various reasons. We had to pick the best possible team for the day, to adapt to this ground as well & this is what I’ve done.” #afc


Arteta on Guendouzi starting over Torreira: “Everything is part of what we want to do in relation to the opponent & obviously this is a particular ground. [Torreira rested?] I don’t think we can rest at the moment, we need results, we need the best possible line-up for the day.”

interesting that we turned down a move for ozil this jan. says a lot about what arteta thinks of ceballos.

Says a lot more about what he thinks of Ozil.

not the reason given for why we turned it down though dj.

"MIKEL ARTETA stopped Mesut Ozil moving to a Qatari side in January, it has been claimed.

Arsenal reportedly received a permanent offer to take the playmaker off their hands before their Spanish boss intervened."
"But Arteta - who is said to have been seriously impressed with the German since his arrival - was having none of it."

Game has got draw written all over it

Hope I'm wrong

We have an 11 game winning streak over Burnley. Hopefully we can extend it.

thats a newspaper who didn't break the story

Arsenal had a number of midfield targets on their radar during the January transfer window, but would not have had time to push any through the door if they let Ozil leave on deadline day.

no time because the bid was on the last day.

Think AMN handling is harsh. If he isnt carrying an injury he should be on the bench at least.

I suspect from Arteta's comments that he wants to train AMN to be box-to-box. But thats going to take time. He has played dm, but xhaka and torreira have made careers in that position and xhaka doesn't have the pace for that role eventhough Wenger bought him specifically to play that.

We are always on thr edge with red cards

Auba starts on the left.

yep we are pushing up.

Lacazette missing a sitter what a surprise

Laca should be doing better there. Hope he gets a goal today.
