Ospina, Mustafi, Mertesacker, Holding, Maitland-Niles, Willock, Elneny, Nelson, Wheechair, Walcott, Giroud.

Bit of a ropey lineup that. BATE Borisov might be a bit of value @ 9/2, they've been half decent at home in Europe. Might have a snifter.

In theory, 9/2 for a home win against that team looks like buying money. But with Walcott and Giroud in attack they've got every chance of rolling in a goal or three.

Arsenal are saving the Republican Guard for the mighty Albion unfortunately.

I remember the good times said:
Saving their best players so that they can get into Europe next year, and then not play their best players so they can get into Europe the following year....

I remember the season where they were struggling to finish fourth (eventually did when Spurs players went down with food poisoning) but made the final of the Champions League against Barcelona. And a lot of the commentary in the build-up was like 'The only chance Arsenal might have of qualifying for the Champions League next year is if they win the Champions League this year' :facepalm: as if qualifying for the tournament is more important than actually winning it.

:lolol: There's a lot to be said for teams who can't defend. The thing for Arsenal is that their defensive options are a dream for the better teams because they've only really got a few proper defenders. Kolasinac looks like he'll not be at Arsenal too long, he's too good. Mustafi is a world cup winner, Koscielny WILL be a world cup winner next year. Other than that, they've got Bellerin who is quick but dumb as a board, Holding who is just a slogger, Mertesacker who can't turn in a circle and Monreal who is an alright left back. Defensively, they're a shambles and they're going to get some pastings this season from the proper attacking teams.

Clean sheet against us though probably. :down:
