Premier League Matchweek 3 (26-27 August)

[haram]

But only Wenger knows why

He wants the type of movement Welbeck offers opposed to the movement Lacazette offers, simple really.

He wants Welbecks movement to create space for Sanchez and Ozil. Lacazette's runs would be a bit more selfish. Not knocking Lacazette.

The movement is great, but what about the 'scoring of goals'?

Welbeck is in to create space for Sanchez and Ozil to score. I agree Welbeck's finishing is poor.

 

[Sigma]

We all want Arsenal to win, right?

High scoring draw would be best I think.

 

[Jazz]

If Arsenal get nothing from this game and Welbz misses a few as well, AFTV and Goonersworld will be brutal.

 

[Cassidy]

Wenger is the ultimate troll

 

[Bepi]

Nah, the League is a marathon, nobody can play 38 games like 38 CL finals, not even the most gegen-kloppite thinks that.

[Theafonis]

Be be an interesting midfield battle at Anfield. Not sure who will come about on top, Xhaka? Xhaka Can? Xhaka Can?

Nice

 

[Rob]

Glad to see Lacazette benched. The difference in quality on the benches is very telling, though. Walcott, Lacazette and Giroud is a powerful trio to be able to bring on.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Surprised to see Lacazette benched.

 

[nemanja15]

Late ref change at Anfield too... Martin Atkinson out, Craig Pawson in.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Ozil's not exactly Mr clinical either.

But if thats the case, get in Giroud Sanchez and Lacazette and see no balance in your team.

I know Welbeck's workrate is important, but a striker needs to score.

We have a chance now.

 

[Theafonis]

Surprised to see Lacazette benched.

Will come on in the 65tg minute and score 2

 

[marlowe78]

I'm actually more surprised that Kolasinac isn't starting.

 

[Peanut Butter]

Welbeck is crap. Lacazette should start.

 

[Jazz]

Juergen talking nonsense about the goal keeper situation. Can tell he's trying to blag it.

[ValenciasDrilledCrosses]

I like when our rivals play but it also means I can only get one of either a RAWK meltdown or some good AFTV. Can't stand that twat DT gloating but it's Liverpool so hopefully Arsenal get a result, although I doubt it.

Does a goalkeeper ever genuinely need to be rested?

 

[Panixs]

Did Henry just say Buffon is 60 years old?

Juergen talking crap. I guess he needed an excuse for dropping him..

Welbeck is on the wing. If anything, Lacazette has been dropped for Sanchez.

If comparing the two, Sanchez is far the better player, both on and off the ball.

I'm still very annoyed with this decision, brainless from Gueye

You know Welbeck is gonna have some chances and feck them up, don't you?

 

[Canagel]

Why is Lacazette not starting? Can anyone understanding the logic behind that?

 

[el3mel]

Lacazette benched!

Wenger will never fail to surprise me!

 

[Liver_bird]

our bench is fecking awful . Jesus this is going to be a long season unless significant activity takes places in the next week.

Wenger's face is on point

 

[FireballXL5]

Can't wait for the inevitable Karius brainfart.

 

[OneUnited24]

So torn about todays game. On one hand i hate Liverpool and never want them to pick up a point. On the other I love watching Asnl fan TV after they lose.

oh why do you taunt me o lord?!

 

[Theafonis]

Spoiler

Lols!

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

You know Welbeck is gonna have some chances and feck them up, don't you?

Guess we'll have to wait and see. He's scored the same amount of Lacazette, hasn't he?

Just look at it this way - You can't really lose

Was confident until I saw Sanchez was starting. Now I'mm bricking it.

Just enjoy it, our hopes and dreams don't make a difference to what happens

 

[dasty]

Welbeck is on the wing. If anything, Lacazette has been dropped for Sanchez.

If comparing the two, Sanchez is far the better player, both on and off the ball.

So why spend 50m on Lacazette then? With Sanchez playing as the striker while Welbeck is on the wings, what is the purpose of Lacazette? On the bench or just for the bantz and lulz?
