UEL Semi Final 2nd Leg: Arsenal (1) vs Villarreal (2) | Thursday 6th May | KO: 20:00 | BT Sports

[Rex Stone]

Coquelin is back no surprise.

 

[Rex Stone]

It’s got to be Saka at LB surely?

Arteta wouldn’t play MØ in a midfield two. That’s mental.

 

[AbouCuéllar]

GET THE **** IN! What a lineup. Arteta showing some real balls, Em*ry with his micro Willie tactics is ****eddddd

 

[Rimaal]

Both ESR and Odergaard starting along with Pepe and Auba.

Mari as well.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

We all live in Emerys submarine

 

[Rex Stone]

Villarreal line up is just so average.

He used ESR as a false nine. That was mental aswell.

He would. But let's hope he's not.

 

[GDeep™]

Oh my god.

Not sure about that back 4 tbh.

 

[BigPoppaPump]

United fans making us look like a bunch of ****s.

Why would you want to welcome this lot anyway? They're sh*te.

 

[Goonger]

I think Saka left back, Xhaka & Partey in midfield, but will need to wait & see!

 

[boonthegoon]

If it's me I'll probably go full attack and play this especially if xhaka is still playing lb

Martinelli auba pepe
ESR saka
Partey

But if KT is fit Mikel will probably go with
Auba
Pepe ESR/Ode saka
Xhaka Partey

Yes I called it. Though I wanted Gabi to play but it's ok. Badly wanted partey with 2 8s if xhaka was starting at LB

 

[Token Yank]

Why is Mari playing ahead of Gabriel if we are going attacking?

 

[A_G]

The UEFA team sheet has it as a 3-4-3 with Xhaka as a LCB

 

[Rimaal]

Not sure about that back 4 tbh.

Bellerin, Holding, Mari, Xhaka

We can thank our lucky stars that Villarreal are so shhhite and managed by a coward.

We should still win... on paper.

 

[Rex Stone]

I’d have liked to have seen Gabriel to start as well.

Wish we didn’t give Holding a permanent starting slot. Guy is just not good.

 

[GDeep™]

Chambers should’ve played.

 

[HollandGooner]

Chambers should’ve played.

He is **** tbf. Gabriel should have started

 

[Iceman10]

Why is Mari playing ahead of Gabriel if we are going attacking?

Holding had to play with Luiz out and Mari seems to be a better pairing with him, probably for aerial presence among other things.

 

[Notorious Big]

What a bum competition.
