Apparently arteta is playing xhaka as striker today

We were setting up defensively against Palace, Brighton and Southampton where there was no justification. I think you can forgive Arteta to set up this way against a team higher in the league.

I think 3-4-3 probably makes sense especially against Chelsea
----------------------------------------------------------------------
maybe 8-2

It doesn't matter if its 4-2-3-1 or 3-4-3, its a must win

Xkaka to score a 35 yard screamer

Tuchel expected it. Holding back a smile they have prepared for it.

It's a must win - even so - every arsenal fan watching at home should definitely warn the neighbours about the swearing

Lukaku has been awful. But you can bet he will bully us again. Perfect time for him to get his confidence back

Brentford went to Chelsea and attacked them and scored 4.

We are meant to be a big club but have set up like relegation fodder

Not sure we could have done much different. I personally would have preferred Martinelli over Eddie but we were pretty limited.

Yes the January window is why we are in this mess but 3 at the back is right way to set up for tonight. If we chased this game from the start then they'd hammer us. They will probably still beat us comfortably.

Brentford countered them.

We are not set up to counter either.

When was the last time we scored a counter attacking goal under Arteta

I havent said we are. We are set up not to concede first. At Southampton we tried to score and were the better team for most of the game. We all know how that has ended.

here we go

Alonso loves scoring against the big teams

Oh Mo.

Oh ode for being asleep

What a let down Elneny

It was an awful pass.

Oh Aaron.

ffs

Our defense at corners mmmhhhh

Good run by Nuno. Didn't amount to anything but at least reduced the pressure

Mount looks a bit noncey

Ooohhh, great ball Xhaks.
