To the Tottenham thread...no way, that was on Kane moving his body in front of ! No penalty!

Well that's a pretty **** performance. Our finishing needs to improve infinitely and right now Pepe looks more Gervinho than Henry.

Midfield was really bad until Ceballos came on with no forward passing and leaving too much space on the counter. I would have brought Nelson on rather than Mkhi at this point.

Very frustrating to not take advantage of everyone dropping points this weekend. Typical Arsenal I guess.

I'm less and less convinced with Emery on his tactics

Guendozi was my man of the match. Everywhere on the field, driving in possession and that assist was perfect.

If only kola could hold his runs just 1 more second

Eh. We scored 2 and put them under tons of duress.

I think the problems that appeared are the same problems we already knew about. Mhiki doesn't have the creativity, the defense gets reckless.

The two goals allowed weren't tactics, so much, I thought. I know we left some room between the midfield and the back line, the goals were just straight up mistakes by the players.

I have loved how he makes his presence known since his first game over a year ago.

He's starting to be crisper with his decisions and touch and really boss the game around a bit.

****ing Xhaka and giving away fouls


He needs gone, and that has been my opinion since his first season at the Emirates. Never been a fan of his, and though he can provide a strong long distance service and an occasional swerving strike, his negatives far outweigh too few positives.

Looks like Mkhitaryan to Roma on season long loan is going to happen

Also looks like Mustafi could move as well

Guendouzi got called up to replace Pogba in the French squad

Guendouzi is going to have himself a really nice career as a box-to-box guy if his passing and service continues its upwards trajectory.

The energy is great, he's got a great burst when on the ball, and he's playing increasingly smartly in the box-to-box role, and that mental aspect presumably will just get better with more matches.

Mkhitaryn loan to Roma is official.

They must be confident that Ozil is ready to play.

I was very surprised that Mik got call on Sunday instead of Nelson. Glad he's going on loan to make sure Nelson, Willock and others are getting the minutes.

He's been a decent addition for his time, but should move on now

Surprised would be a very nice way to describe my reaction to Miki's introduction

Pretty dang good night for Arsenal Academy youngsters. Nketiah x 2 and Nelson for the England U21 team. Former players Gnabry and Donyell Malen both scored for the Germans and Dutch today.

Hate to say it, but I still miss Wenger. I used to check EPL standings & weekly results and trade rumors often. Now, not much. Arsene's early teams and their style of play were what made me a soccer fan and a fan of Arsenal.

Granted, the latter years under him were tantalizing but frustrating. But at least it still felt like we were still one of the big clubs.

I read a good first-person nonfiction book several years ago, My War Gone By, I Miss It So, about a British war reporter / photographer and how he and his peers get addicted to the adrenaline rush and risk and danger of covering wars.

My Arsenal Gone By, I Miss It So is how I feel about that era of Arsenal FC. Thierry Henry, Bergkamp, Viera, Petit, Pires, Campbell, Cole, Llungberg, Overmars, Van Persie, Fabregas, Seaman.

Viera, Bergkamp, and Henry were something. I'm glad I got to see them in their prime. I'll stick with the club till I die, because I'm not the type to change allegiances. Maybe we'll have another legendary longtime boss someday.

Sorry for the depressing post.

You didn't take History or Eastern Europe since 1492 while at TAMU did you? That book was reading for the course and I still have it to this day.

Instant upgrade in starter on rb and likely upgrade at lb (once match fit of course). That is really exciting. Glad the international break is over!

I think we'll see Holding and Ozil return to the starting lineup in Europa next week
texagbeliever
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I hope we get good squad rotation for Europa. Getting a competitive game for both of those guys is a big boost. I just wonder if holding can displace one of luiz/sokratis for league matches.

And just like that, God taketh away.

Lacazette out until October with his ankle issue. We lasted about 24 hours with a fully fit squad.

I expect Auba up top with Reiss on the left now.

Time for Pepe to get his account opened in a hurry.

Big month for Nelson. Need him to come good. He's shown it in flashes. I think a goal does his confidence a world of good. Same with Pepe

Yeah, I wouldn't hate it if Nelson replicates the run of games that he had last October!

Gunners I need some help. The wife and I will be in London over Christmas and are going to buy tickets to the match vs Chelsea. What is the best way to go about getting tickets? Should we just join the club and go directly through Arsenal?

Yeah, that is surprising to me. Really interested to see what the shape looks like with him and Ceballos on together.

Lineup per Premier League Live...

PEA
Dani - Ozil - Pepe
Xhaka - Duezy
Kola - Sokra - Luiz - AMN
Leno

I have a feeling we are gonna be more of a diamond 4-4-2 or a 4-3-3 false 9 with Ozil as the false 9.
ptothemo

So, your 4-3-3, PEA on the wing and Ozil as the 9? Ceballos drops into midfield?

The thought of Ozil having to do the work to be in the false 9 just seems very not Ozil like.

I think premier league formation makes sense.
Maybe switch pepe and cellabos. Auba will be more central and advanced then any of the other forwards.
