Team V Arsenal

Sun Aug 26, 2018 4:30 pm

Team for next week. But it's more than just the team, we need to decide VERY EARLY to try and keep it on the ground, we won't have much posession...however Arsenals midfield has proved to be very average this season... especially defensively. So I've got a warped 4-3-3 where Reid will tuck in when we attack, so he's almost behind Zohore, Bennett push up a bit and Manga further back.

We don't want to be hoofing every time we get the ball next week, we won't get anywhere.

Good shout that but my only change would be Richards instead of Manga

Whose playing right mid?

I would go 4-4-2 maybe drop ralls and play Zohore with Reid and hoilett if he’s fit and Murphy on the wings

Looking a bit short down the right side there, aren’t we? But I like the thought of an AM!

:thumbup: Would pick the same 11 but NW likes playing with two out wide. Can’t see how some would want to break up a defence that has had 2 clean sheets on the trot. Manga does not deserve to be dropped but thought Richards might have been brought in after the Bournemouth game.

Reid defensively on the right, doing a similar job to what Murphy would but maybe less so because Manga will play more defensive than Bennett.

Also I've put Camarasa central right, so he can tuck up to the right if Bobby pushes up to attacking mid

I worry about right back going forward, manga was dreadful can’t cross for shit, Arsenal will have a field day attacking down his side, bennett has been playing well on the other side, shame we didn’t address this in the summer.
