I can understand this approach and there's no doubt Arsenal can be a brittle side if they go behind in a game. I just think if we kept it tight and tried to avoid conceding early, we wouldn't be chasing the game and could make attacking changes later if necessary. I'm afraid it's the Roy in me coming out! Originally posted by AshfordEagle94 I would personally start Mateta over Edouard. I know people seem to think Edouard is the better player but so far Mateta has been the best striker out of Mateta/Edouard/Benteke. I also hope Ward isn't right back, don't get me wrong I love ward but he'll get slaughtered by the pace of the Arsenal frontline. I think the key is to go at Arsenal, they aren't really a physical side and us being too defensive would probably suit them. I would probably stick 4-3-3 and go for them

Originally posted by Spiderman Swap Schlupp for Hughes and Ayew for Ebiowei and I agree with you The only reason I went with these two is because I feel like Hughes offers more defensively, which would free up Eze. I went for Ebiowei over Ayew because, similar to Olise, Ebiowei offers more in the way of taking on players and causing the defense problems. Without Olise, we become a little more lop sided and reliant on Wilf so if he's marked out it's a lot harder for us. One of the reasons I think Zaha had such a good season was because we finally had a winger on the opposite with relatively similar attributes and that gave Zaha more space. A tricky winger on the opposite side stretches their defense more Edited by AshfordEagle94 (05 Aug 2022 2.03pm)

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!
