torreira baru join team, guendouzi already have chemistry with the team.

but still, throwing guendouzi against city is like what

^ i was positive, but seeing bellerin and no torreira, and seeing sterling returning to city is making me uncomfortable. sterling for city is on another level

lichsteiner can start over any of our defenders any day. guy is a monster and knows how to play football. technically and mentally.

i'm still not convinced of ozil in this sytem. Ramsey plays as the presser up front actually works because we no longer get ramsey fking about in front of the penalty box, and his engines are stifling ederson from playing his long passes.

can xhaka stop fkin about and falling

xhaka ozil can f off. torreira lacazette in. maybe play ozil against weaker teams.

city dont deal very well with gegenpressing, it's how pool always beat them last season.

pool vs city this season would be great to watch in terms of strategy

^ why dont we just stop playing him.

or figure out a system to bring out the best in mesut. although at this point i'd rather take him out from the system and put in lacazette and torreira in for xhaka and ozil.

Leno

Bell Sok Mus Monreal (i dont mind Lich starting at L/RB tbh)

Torreira

Guen Ramsey/Ozil

Mkhi/Ozil Auba

Laca

fair. while ozil was his typical useless self, mkhi was even more invisible. i dont know who i rate more or less between ozil and mkhi now tbh. mustafi was our best defender tho last game, has to be mustafi and sokratis.

scuffed lineup LOL. almost wenger like.

whatever, i trust emery knows his shit. he hasnt been long enough in the team to play favorites to any player. must have solid tactical reasons to play and not play the players.

dafuq was that half, chance created like fifa

someone tell me what ozil contributes to this team again. last game he and miki were both useless, this game miki already have a goal and assist.

would love for you to prove me wrong, mesut

so how many goals did we concede from bellerin's flank already? all 5?

just throw licht there already

if ozil cannot perform against west ham next then i dont know what worth he has.

auba has also looked very poor, very un typical. laca needs to start now.

guen tho, A+ again.

season baru start hari ni!

i actually want ozil to play against lesser teams ffs, now we actually have a chance to win he's ill.

i'm guessing xhaka and guen's long balls will be key in creating chances, but i expect our pressing game from both ramsey and iwobi will create the opportunities by winning the ball up high.

imo Emery specifically asks Bellerin to commit to attacking, our goals have been mostly coming from that flank. but as a result, we mostly concede from that flank as well.

i think we need to get used to Emery's playstyle, Bellerin can function as a wingback but, Xhaka/Torreira as well as the RCB (mustafi iinm) should provide cover when Bellerin goes up and attack. when we get countered there's almost always space at our right flank and chelsea/city have taken advantage of that

ozil should start this game, we could use his creativity to break up the cardiff bus

looks like ozil is starting.

i want him to start in these games because ozil tends to disappear in big games, so what the hell, play him against lesser oppositions.

if he still doesnt deliver against these park the bus teams then i dont know what use he has anymore

yeah, tbh i've lost faith in ozil. i also have my doubts on whether he'll function well in this pressing system as i still think he's the best in the 10 role, plus emery's system seems to favour bellerin having a great attacking time but shit defensively which means we need players covering for him on the right flank.

i'm waiting on ozil to prove me wrong tbh, and games against these teams are perfect esp with both laca and auba prowling about against a defensive side.

assisted the goal.

but really, this game should be prime Xhaka and Ozil food. not to mention aubameyang looking out of confidence. lacazette's the only bright spark whenever we attack.

i predict we get a goal down bellerin's flank, but if we concede it will also be down bellerin's flank. why the hell are we playing ozil and guendouzi on bellerin's flank
