Are Arsenal not playing a striker? NO Sanogo in the squad at all, only Akpom who could be considered a striker and he's on the bench? Has Sanogo gotten himself injured already? Then we didn't take Afobe and he played in the reserves despite actually looking half decent along with Akpom in the last game, seriously. He got half a game, looked decent so was dropped back down again?

hmmm thought the starting XI was weak - this XI could infact be weaker lol

Amos, M. Keane, Smalling, Shaw, Lingard, Kagawa, Nani, Young and W. Keane

Not sure who has stayed on apart from Cleverly
Good to see Lingard on. He looks a handy player from what I have seen of him.

I havent seen much of him, but what Ive heard is he is very promising indeed

edit - Blackett is the other player resuming from the 1st half

Cleverley and Blackett are both playing the full 90.

If this game hasn't shown what a passenger Cleverley is (in any game) then I don't know what will.

Will Keane did well to outmuscle Benatia then!

Llajic is playing?

Isnt he an ex transfer target that never came off a few years ago - seem to recall not having enough International starts being the reason the work permit was blocked

Agreed. Anderson and Nani should've gone ages ago, Young and Valencia I'm not sure about, I'd say we need to keep Rafael though, good RB when he's fit and I think could work well in LVG's 3-5-2

As a player Raf is great, but he is so often injured (as well as his infamous red mist) Im not convinced anymore
