“ NO CAMARASA OR MURPHY: CARDIFF CITY TEAM TONIGHT “

Bobby Decordova-Reid - virtually the only Bluebirds star to impress against Newcastle last time out - at the apex of the diamond.

Callum Paterson and Oumar Niasse will continue their partnership up front, with Aron Gunnarsson and Harry Arter returning to add steel to the midfield.

Victor Camarasa and Josh Murphy aren’t included, perhaps among those not to feel in the right frame of mind to play tonight - which is completely understandable.

For Arsenal, it’s interesting that Mesut Ozil is back and even named as captain, with Unai Emery forced into something of a makeshift defence.

Camarasa not even on the bench. I'm assuming he's one of the players that have been talking to professionals since last week's accident.

http://streamcartel.eu/1.html?ch37 Stream for the game should be up and working about half 7

I'd have any of Harris, NML or Hoilett starting ahead of Paterson, especially if were playing a 433 formation.

Still injured I'd imagine

arsenal-2 is a cert 11.8

Poor team in my opinion

Not sure who is going to play where with that line up.

We will get ripped to shreads down our right hand side either way.

Probably a 451 formation with Reid sat behind Niasse

Good line up, without Camarasa I'm glad Reid starts. I'm hoping he plays as a number 10, plenty of energy in the middle.

With what we got I think it's the right line up. Great to see Zohore on the bench.

Of course we might both be talking bollocks but I think I’d find it difficult being at a foreign club not speaking the language, then having someone who shares a language join for what’s happened in the week to occur

Arsenal

Look, he's playing wingbacks - simple as that .
Obviously attacking intent. Might as well I suppose at this stage, but I really don't like trusting Peltier against this opposition.

I hope Paterson isn’t out wide when 3 wingers are on the bench.

Could be a narrow diamond with Niasse and Paterson up front with Reid just behind and Gunnarson holding.

I’m not hopeful at all with that team to be honest.

I would have liked NM L in the line up to give pace andwidth.
In a positive it's good to see Ashore available again, we need him desperately at present.

No. Told you, he's playing wingbacks

So another top six team. Can they please at least make a game of it this time and not give the opposition their usual gift of a goal after 5 minutes.

Looks like we've matched em up I'm expecting arsenal to go with a diamond ozil at the top of it. 2 up top using full backs for width
Would of liked to av seen us go 433 use our pace in wide area to exploited their weakness.
Hopefully reid plays in 10 role and pulls strings for us tonight with niasse working off Paterson

Camarasa not even on the bench. I'm assuming he's one of the players that have been talking to professionals since last week's accident.

He posted a video of him having a massage on his Instagram. Tagged a Spanish physio clinic, so assuming he's in Spain?!

Arter can’t play Saturday so maybe didn’t want to risk Camarasa as well if he has an injury ?

http://streamcartel.eu/1.html?ch37 Stream for the game should be up and working about half 7

They also have an HD stream http://streamcartel.eu/17.html?hd/hd1.html looks decent

11% possession. Guess which team!??

11% possession. Guess which team!??

Different now though...30% possession and twice as many shots and twice as many corners.

Think we had more play tonight bossed the 1st half because we played more attacking without fear this is how we should play for the rest of the season down with a fight if we are, not without whimper.
