Hearing that Inter have expressed an interest in Xhaka

I’d take £120m for him

I’d agree if I believed they’d invest it in new players.

I think they would. That’s the only way they’ll spend a decent wedge. Without player sales it’ll just be £50/60m again

Conflicting opinions about Liverpool - Chelsea. Chelsea winning could see us miss out on a champions league place and a Liverpool win would put them in with a great change to win the league.

Overall I think us playing 8 games in the champions league next season is less important than hearing liverpool fans talking about their league win for the next 30 years

Knowing our luck we'll win the Europa League now! :pac:

Liverpool 2-0 up against Chelsea.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is Arsenal's highest Premier League goalscorer this season with 17 goals - but he hasn't scored away from home in 2019. His last seven goals in all competition have come at the Emirates.

He’s surely due an away goal then ?

I think it's more symptomatic of the way we play away from home. He tends to get far more isolated in away games so he usually gets very little chance to score. I feel like we really need Torreira and Xhaka starting for the away games to give us a bit more steel in the middle.

newbie2 · 15-04-2019 10:42am

When is the last time Abu started an away game?

*edit

Actually according to https://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=12339 he's started quite a few. There's my theory fecked.

Although he has only scored against
Cardiff, Fulham, Palace, Bournemouth & Brighton away

The win would put us in 4th, and a point away from Sp*rs.

It's pretty vital we win tonight.

History suggests Emery will throw away the league to win the Europa so that wouldn't surprise me at all.

Happy Monday lads, usually love when we are on Monday night football but my god the nerves when we are away from home. Dreading tonight cause we should be wrapping up top 4 and topping off a great first season from Emery but we can't win away from home, I just don't get it. We couldn't complete a pass against Everton last week and they got beat 2-0 by ALL READY RELAGATED FULHAM this week. Why can't the players just cop on and perform away from home.

5star02707 · 15-04-2019 11:29am

Massimo Allegri

No Sokratis tonight (suspended)

Torreira will play as he's available after a 3 match ban.

Xhaka no confirmation if he's fully fit (could be in as a sub)

Goin to be Kos and Mustafi in our defence tonight lads

That is a really stupid thing to do at this stage of the season when we can get Top 4 and further (maybe win) a trophy in Europe.
The team that lost at Everton was ridiculously under strength and won’t beat Watford either imo. Full strength for tonight, Thursday and from now on is the way to go.
Mustafi is sure to start tonight with the Greek lad suspended so we’re weak at the back. We need Torreira and Xhaka starting for sure. I don’t want to see Mitch or Iwobi near the starting lineout. They give possession away far too often.

they arent robots, players cant keep the same level if they are playing every 3 days. its a squad game these days

Nuno Espirito Santo

We have an alternative to pretty much everyone in the team except Koscielny and Ramsey. I don't know whether that means we should play them every game or wrap them in cotton wool. Koscielny seems to be in the wars every game he plays, I'm always left begging that he's okay.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 15-04-2019 3:01pm

Patrick Vieira

Nothing less than a win tonight needed. Need to keep Deeney quiet on and off the pitch. Although I do admire him for talking candidly in interviews and not off a script I just don’t want to hear it about arsenal.

My point is that the squad isn’t good enough.
Play the best players like used to be the way when we were winning things.
Changes were only made when they had to be.

Wouldn’t mind a god squad now you mention it

That was a divine observation. Hope they all play like God tonight. A point wouldn’t be the end of their hopes but a win is necessary I feel. Don’t want to be going to Leicester for the last game with our away record.

Ol' Donie · 15-04-2019 6:27pm

We're gonna turn up tonight, aren't we? C'mon, it's Watford, and we have way more to play for than they do.

C'mon Arsenal. Yis have to make up for that nonsense against Everton.

Oranage2 · 15-04-2019 7:02pm

Leno
Kos Mustafi Nacho
AMN Ramsey Torreira Kol
Ozil
Laca. Iwobi

My line up though just a guess

Ardennes1944 · 15-04-2019 7:04pm

Mavropanos starts!

Watford also have a cup final next month and wont want injuries. They might go easy tonight but I wouldn’t bet on this match until I see the lineouts.
Either way I feel we have to win this.

Mavropanos starts according to the BBC and Lacazette and Ozil are on the bench. Six changes from the Napoli game. COYG

what's the benefit in choosing miki over ozil? just as lazy as each other tracking back

tayto lover · 15-04-2019 7:08pm

Mikel Arteta

Mitch and Iwobi starting. Expect a lot of losing possession. Won’t have a bet now.

Oranage2 · 15-04-2019 7:14pm

Ramsey Xhaka Mustafi and Kos are all injury prone.
Monreal, Iwobi and Mihki all tire easily

I'd be surprised if we finish with even 9 men at the end of the game.

Decent midfield but that defense is shaky,though excited to see Mavro play.

Me too but a good start and an early goal could settle them. Go behind and we’re in big trouble. Poor players in certain areas of the field.

I'm not, I'm confident. Our midfield looks very strong and Auba will score. Hoping Mavro and Kos have a great game. COYG

Vital part of the season and we are doing a new center back partnership away from home. We better score 3/4 cause I see us conceeding a few. Hopefully I'm wrong though. Also never a fan of Miki and iowbi in the same line up.

It might be Emery's way of phasing out Mustafi before he lets him go in the summer. Fingers crossed! Big night for the young Greek lad. As long as Iwobi runs like a headless chicken drawing away Watford defenders giving space for Auba and Mkhitaryan I'll be happy.

Mustafi is a weak point, along with Mikhi but this formation should suit the latter. I'm delighted to see us back to a back 4 again.

Phasing him out ??? Just drop him.
Would rather see AMN in at right back. Mustafi gives me the jitters.
