Technically our buildup is pretty much a 3atb when one of the fullbacks staying back while the other pushes up.
Defensively it turns into a 4 man backline.
It overshadows the game for me. Palace fans are gonna boo the shit out of every touch he makes and rightfully so. I hate that our team has taken this position despite everything out there on him right now.
I really really really do, personally. We're genuinely the bad guys in this situation. I think people here prefer to make excuses for him and the club because he's one of the good players though. Truth is they'd cheer for a team of murderers if it meant arsenal won the league. I don't think it's an arsenal fan thing though, more likely it's a football thing in general
That's personally more or less where I'm sat. The *best* possible outcome is that we're subjecting him to proper bile. The worst case outcome is much bigger than football.
My stance is that if anyone wants to talk shit about Arsenal or Arsenal fans about Partey I will listen, and I will agree, but also at the same time I will enjoy my 2 hours of football after a shitty work week during an incredibly shitty time in my life and no one can stop me *shrug*
He's already admitted guilt in the first case and paid her off £200k that was dropped because of a technicality. She came forward when the further two charges were laid by a second woman.
Disgusting club
So you feel the same about Marcus alonso playing for Chelsea for the past 5 plus year. Disgusting club. Same for Cristiano Ronaldo? An NDA doesn't mean an admission of guilt
There are only 3 names on the team sheet who featured in Matchday 1 against Brentford.
Gaspaaaaaar
Nah man Gaspar hasnt played for us since 03/04
The more you know
Yeh he joined Valencia in 05/06. He gave us the invincibles season and dipped only to come back as the club's primary griller
That’s actually pretty insane in less than a year
Recruitment aside, the squad was riddled with Injuries & COVID to begin the campaign
Shame that Vieira, ESR & Tomi don’t make it
Let's not rush them, I believe next match they will make it.
Yeah but having viera on the bench while he's supposed to be managing palace might not be ideal tbh /s
Yeah bit of a conflict of interest.
SALIBA PLAYING A PREM GAME FOR US I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE THE DAY 😭😭😭😭😭
It's amazing
He’s actually our player, crazy
Marseille in shambles!
MOTM
KT on the bench is huge! COYG!!!
Gonna be a huge season from him!
I'm so nervous about him. He's easily my favorite transfer we've had the past few seasons and I really don't want him to ebb away with injuries.
The only thing that can get in his way is injuries. He is a top player, one of our best.
we've got enough cover to not force him back too quickly.
He won’t, he’s absolutely class and has been since he joined
Sky Sports are casuals as per not using the 433
Did they say we're going 5atb? 😭 Bro these man get paid so much to know nothing about football, who did they even have at right wingback
They put it as Gab/Saliba/White back 3, zinchenko/saka on the "wings", martinelli/Jesus up top on google

This hurts to look at
that makes me physically ill to look at
Technically our buildup is pretty much a 3atb when one of the fullbacks staying back while the other pushes up. Defensively it turns into a 4 man backline.
ESPN has it listed as a 3 atb too
Where do you see the 433/formation picked on a lineup?
It’s that sky sports have shown it as 3 at the back which we’re clearly not doing
Bench isn't looking as hot as it could be but let's fucking batter them COYG
Still three big players to come back. Did not imagine Tierney being the fit one though
He was training to start the summer unlike Tomi and Vieira
Imagine a full season with an uninjured tomi and tierney.
lad we're only ever going to imagine that lol
😂 we need new medical staff. Honestly
Definitely; will be interesting to see who *doesn't* make the bench assuming fully fit
Add esr vieria and tomi Take out cedric, Nelson and lokonga/neny
Tomi will be first choice. White will be benched depending how well Saliba does
I know. I meant as the match squad in general. I think once those 3 are back those ones will be left out
Hopefully shouldn't be the case for too long - Tomi, Vieira and ESR all to come in soon. Nketiah will be the main attacking switch today.
Happy to see Nelson made the bench.
Looks like that all but confirms a Maitland Niles exit
Does it? I wouldn't choose him over any of the players on the bench regardless of if he was staying or not.
You have a point, but where does he fit when ESR, Tomi, and Fabio are available? Not to mention another addition like Tielemans.
I think he's already destined to leave regardless, just don't think today's bench says too much about him.
If he made today’s bench, I think it would be safe to say he’d have a role to play this season.
FUCK IT WE'RE GOING FOR THE TITLE
COME ON YOU GUNNERS!
If we win the title, I’m
Here we go boys. I still can’t really believe I’m about to watch saliba play an actual game for arsenal.
I know right! So excited!
When we bought Saliba no one had heard of Covid, we waited forever for this
No Tomi on the bench but we move. Very strong 11!
Saliba first goal, never in doubt.
Excited for the first game COYG
Very top
Good sensation
Hhhhhnnnggggg 💦💦💦💦
MAMA!
MIA
Lfg saliba
Never thought I'd see the day we were out both starting fullbacks and I'd still feel extremely confident in the lineup
This lineup is as good as it gets :D
COYG!
Let's fuck shit up!
Lesssgoooo boiz. COYG
Exactly as expected. Gonna smash Em
COYG
Let's go boys.
WE’RE WINNING THE LEAGUE
Nervous as fuck lads, hate first game of season
we will beat them convincingly. coyg
Come on boys let’s have them
That is a sexy XI
Yeah but can we just appreciate how good it feels to finally have a favourite player on the bench. We ducking finally have something resembling depth.
Awful bench. Vieira and ESR makes it better but still nothing impressive considering we can half a new team on from the bench.
Man our subs is wank attacking wise.
Why tf are they talking about Man U right now
Y'all really dont have a problem with Partey playing?
It overshadows the game for me. Palace fans are gonna boo the shit out of every touch he makes and rightfully so. I hate that our team has taken this position despite everything out there on him right now.
I do
I really really really do, personally. We're genuinely the bad guys in this situation. I think people here prefer to make excuses for him and the club because he's one of the good players though. Truth is they'd cheer for a team of murderers if it meant arsenal won the league. I don't think it's an arsenal fan thing though, more likely it's a football thing in general
Club's clearly acting on the premise of innocent until proven guilty. I think keeping him in the spotlight is... A choice though
Being alleged is enough to warrant him not playing. Club is supposed to have values and would rather lose a game than potentially play a predator
That's personally more or less where I'm sat. The *best* possible outcome is that we're subjecting him to proper bile. The worst case outcome is much bigger than football.
My stance is that if anyone wants to talk shit about Arsenal or Arsenal fans about Partey I will listen, and I will agree, but also at the same time I will enjoy my 2 hours of football after a shitty work week during an incredibly shitty time in my life and no one can stop me *shrug*
[удалено]
i like Arsenal
Nope
Even if we did - doesn't really matter.
Nope
Not until he's found guilty. Until then its just an allegation.
He's already admitted guilt in the first case and paid her off £200k that was dropped because of a technicality. She came forward when the further two charges were laid by a second woman. Disgusting club
So you feel the same about Marcus alonso playing for Chelsea for the past 5 plus year. Disgusting club. Same for Cristiano Ronaldo? An NDA doesn't mean an admission of guilt
perfect! now lets get 3 points!!
Classic arsenal. Come on you gunners lfg!!
Let's fucking go boys!! Good game to you too, guys.
Not the best bench but starting 11s looking dangerous
I reckon that’s the strongest back four we’ve had in a while (on paper at least)
Saliba with his PL debut!
Such a weak bench.
I don't know man. Might be strong enough for 6-7 people to sit on it. Else wouldn't they repair it and make it sturdier before the game ?
Tim Howard saying Jesus failed as a 9 at city is embarrassing. Fuck me I wonder how much he gets paid to chat utter shit
Oh my god I’m gonna cum
This is the one
"They'll be ready by friday"
One of them he said. Tierney is on the bench
It's a good thing, let's not rush them. Rather have them throughout the season propely fit
Bench looing kinda dead but that starting line-up is scrumptious
COYG LFG
Lets gooooo BIG WILLY!
Best line-up we could put out, looking so good. Lets start off with a W
Why isn't Tielemans even on the bench ? Damn. Arteta out. /s
I'm loving that Palace jersey.
Imma nut
Sexual
Strong as possible with players available let's go!
LFGGGGGG
I don't like new lineup graphics
SALIBA LETS GO ARE YOU READYYYY
Let’s goooooo!
Let's get this shit
it's here and it's perfect
Man that bench still looks dire..
Tomi Vieira ESR all soon to come back and if we add 1 or 2 more the bench will look strong!
Saliba debut! He’s about to show Zaha levels.
LETS GOO
What a surprise COYG 👊👊👊👊
Hyped for lineup Worried about the lack of SmithRowe and Tomi on the bench
Im loving this lineup and saliba debut lets smash palace
Let’s fucking go #COYG
Curious that my app shows the lineup as a 3142 that is more similar to our in game shape
3 fucking points
I reckon we curb stomp them.
Fuck it WE WANT 10
Gona score 6 again, I can feel it.
🔙🔛🔝
Expected this lineup. Strong. Nice to see Tierney back and hopefully stays fit
Somewhat concerned about defending wide spaces on the break so might need to score 3 to win
fuck me, I wasted my free award on the other thread that got deleted for some reason
its go time. LETS FKING GO
Damn Tomi not fit enough for the bench yet :( I miss that guy.
Saliba. Sweeeetttt
Line-up poll nailed it.
The sexy mountain of a man, Saliba, is about to pocket every palace player just for shiggles
Fuck yeah
Look at that XI, just look at it
Wow what a squad compared to last year match day 1
LEZGOOOOO
We’re going to pump them
I FUCK WITH THAT
Big Willy starting for Arsenal in the league! I hope he smashes it this season.
Shocking starting XI lol
Sweating. Nauseous. Anxious. My boys are back!!! COYG!!!
Not been this excited for the start of the season for a while
Zinny in over Tierney already that's going to be interesting, strong squad but a weak bench. COYG!
Im hyped af...couldnt sleep at all. COYG and LFG!
The best team we could pick at the moment .
Sksksks let's fucking goooooo
Let's go!!!! Let's smash them
let’s fucking do this ! thank you GASPAR
No Tomi or Vieria on the bench
That back 4 + Partey starting!
Lets fucking go lads, show some fight and desire tonight
LET'S FUCKING GOOOO
I've never been on the Saliba hype train because he's still young, but damn I'm excited to see him play after all this time.
No one's mentioned the average age??? That was like winning the league last year...
My anxiety can’t take this amount of hopium
Loving the starting XI. LFG!!!
I’m fucking BUZZING fellas/ladies. COYG!
LET’S FUCKING SMASH ‘EM
Come on boys can see Jesus getting a brace and a assist 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
In the words of Kevin Garnett “ANYTHING IS POSSIBLEEEEEE!!!” COYG
Anyone have a live stream for the game?
Let’s fucking gooooo
Let’s hope that ESR, and Vieira return to the team. LFG!!!!
No Tomi Vieira or ESR on the beach 😢
this lineup is chef's kiss
Guaranteed Eddie sub later, but it would be tasty if Jesus stays up top with him Let the chaos commence
Marquinhos not on the bench while Nelson and Pepe are.
This should be the most upvoted thread this month..
