Up the Arse! Goons Thread

Is that Baptista in the background? Almost forgot about his stint with Arsenal.

My only real memory of him was scoring 4 goals in a 6-3 win over Liverpool at Anfield in the league cup.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Should nab a result tomorrow morning. Hoping to see

--------------------- Cech -----------------------
-- Bellerin -- Mustafi -- Koscielny -- Monreal --
--------------- Xhaka -- Cazorla ----------------
- Ox --------------- Ozil ------------- Sanchez -
------------------- Giroud -----------------------

Subs: Ospina, Holding, Gibbs, Elneny/Coquelin, Iwobi, Walcott, Perez

Would be keen to see Ox scrapped, Sanchez at RW and Iwobi LW (ala similar lineup to late last season).

Yeah Id defiantly rather alexis switch wings and have Iwobi starting over Ox.

Yep. But it will be the strongest XI we've named this season regardless. Expecting a good performance, especially after all the rest and rotation for Southampton.

Yes and I recall thinking that was finally his 'breakthrough' performance, and he'll dominate from there on. Like Arshavin. But it didn't end well with either.

 

[Marc Murphy]

$4.20 to beat PSG ! Tempting.

That is pretty good value. Would be a brave move

Double-chance odds would be juicy.

Ospina will play and concede a junk goal.

 

[Latro]

Coquelin is expected to start according to the French press.

Doesn't make sense. Of Xhaka-Cazorla-Ozil, the only omission that could make sense is Cazorla (if his achilles has flared, resting, etc.). In which case Elneny would have to replace him; not Coquelin.

Coquelin in would likely mean Xhaka out...so yeah, surely not.

Arsneal @ Sunderland

"it was a difficult night, they defended very well, it is a hard place to place especially when they get a goal off a set piece early and defend. I was happy with our spirit to at least get a point in the last few minutes.

Everton @ Sunderland

Lukaku, Lukaku, Lukaku , kill this game off in 15 mins and go home.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Sanchez CF lol, Granit on the bench lol, Cech on the bench lol & Ox starting again... PSG 2-0 now IMO.

 

[Hawks1523]

r u wizard?

What an abysmal start

 

[kreglze]

Get Ox off, put Giroud on, mush Alexis wide.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

That should have happened before kickoff but Arsene Knows.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Apparently Cavani could have scored 4 or 5 but I will gladly take a point from our hardest game in the group.

 

[PendlePie]

Didn't catch the game - anyone got a clue why we went in with such a shithouse lineup? Apparently we played terribly.

At least my app gave Mustafi quite a high rating, good signs.

1-1 is a good result to be fair.

 

[kreglze]

God it was stressful our defence was all over the shop Cavani could have easily had a hatrick...

Ospina put in a good shift. A point in Paris is good news tbh.

 

[glenferry23]

Will watch the replay tonight, but sounds like we've done well to claim a draw. Appears they missed some easy chances and Ospina saved us.

Some strange selections though. Why is Xhaka not starting? Or Giroud? Odd.

Why went with such a shithouse lineup ? Arsene Wenger is our manager.

I think Coquelin atarted as it is one og tge few times hr will be able to play in Francefor Arsenal.

 

[Cruyff14]

Odd lineup, but at least we got a point out of it.

 

[windyhill]

Sir Alexis

 

[Hawks1523]

Odd lineup choices.
Cavani could've had 3-4.
Ospina kept us in the game, huge saves.
Sanchez up front doesn't work.
Giroud getting two yellows was ****ing stupid.

 

[elhadjihenry]

Really poor performance, 2nd half was much better (especially when Giroud and Xhaka came on). Only Cavani being a total spud and some heroics from Ospina saved us from a considerable defeat. Very happy with the point though.

 

[Latro]

Xhaka must be regretting signing for such a shit manager.
