I like that formation...we are obviously going to have to outscore teams this season so Laca and Auba need to play together

That is a very narrow starting 11. All non defenders preferred roles are in the middle. I would rather iwobi start for xhaka or ramsey to give more pace and width. With how bellerin has played I also would be terrified with ramsey being responsible for helping him out.

If you watch the video wangus posted, the analysts are making claims that is how Emery liked it. Creates 3 boxes in the spine (CB to DM, DM to AM, AM to ST).

I'm just worried they could struggle if a side packed it in the middle and then looked to counter with speed on the wings. Our CB's are slow so i think we will be vulnerable to a parked bus.

Legends match with Real Madrid today went to penalties. Arsenal had last kick to win it. Rosicky was up to take it. Lehmann pulled rank and made him sit down so he could take it. Mad jens buries it in the upper corner.

Well... You could always switch it up to a 4-2-2-2 and have 2 AMs play a little more wide. Problem as I see it is that both Ramsey and Ozil are gonna drift inside no matter where you start them. And Ramsey isn't a good fit for one of the deep MF spots. Really isn't an ideal formation for the current roster. It's gonna take another window or 2 to get stuff sorted out. While we wait, I think our best option for success is PAE a and Laca on the field together and I think they would be most effective as dual ST vs forcing PAE to the wing.

Ozil will drift into space so it isnt him I'm concerned about, well maybe his defense but different issue. I think ramsey is a technically great player but not sure he is good enough to go into a less effective formation. That is just my take of course.

Ramsey's best position is an offensive 8 or 8/10 hybrid but he has to be central. Ozil can operate from a 10, wing or false 9. He will drift to space and is more prone to stay wide then Ramsey but his defense is bad/lazy. Ultimately you need to figure out whether you wanna run with Ramsey or Ozil in the middle. Don't think the 2 will ever coexist within Emery's ideal system. Ramsey may make that decision for us. As I said, I think your short-term best formation involves PAE & Laca in either a dual ST or a ST/SS setup.

Rumors that Gazidis is staying. Claims that he was being indecisive and Milan got tired of waiting on him to decide.

Newcastle has pressed effectively a majority of the half but their effort has begun to drop. Arsenal finally finding more space. Time to bury one in the back of the net.

Fantastic passing around the box to open Newcastle up.

3 points on the road will take that given the poor road form last season.

Also seeing claims that Jose wants Ozil and that we are interested in Martial & Bailly.

If anyone is interested, the Swiss Ramble has a good analysis of Gazidis's mediocre performance at Arsenal while being the 2nd highest paid chief executive in the EPL.

Only issue I have with Gazidas leaving is that his likely replacement is Kroenke's kid.

Leno are LIchtsteiner are starting today. Also possibly some youngsters with Smith-Rowe, Nketiah and Pleguezuelo have all been training with the first team. Wouldn't be shocked to see Auba start up top though to get some confidence going. Mhki and Torreira may start as well.

No Mavropanos as he has been dealing with a groin issue.

Is today's game streaming on TNT/Bleacher Report/anywhere or am I going to need to get a European stream of it?
