PSV - Arsenal (CL) 1-1

Matchday

Because PSV will take this game seriously and our next step in the competition is going to be a huge knockout away game I wonder if Arteta will see value in getting as much experience of hostile CL crowd as possible into the squad. The closer we get to kickoff, the more minimal I feel the rotation will be.

hope our starters can get a rest and get ready for the weekend league game

63

Itā€™s tuesday! Itā€™s definitely tuesday!

64

Lineup from Arseblog: Ramsdale, Cedric, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior, Jorginho, Elneny, Trossard, Havertz, Nelson, Nketiah

Ramsdale gets his sympathy start, Cedric has somehow been allowed on the pitch and Nelson is starting.

Europa League throwback night!

65

Looks like Havertz is gonna be the main creative link between midfield and attack. Might watch the dead rubber just to see how he does.

66

Lots of rotation, noice!

67

really no need to play all Saliba, Gabriel, even Kai.

I donā€™t like this lineup.

68

Kai! Nice

69

A wild Mo Elneny has appeared!

This much rotation will likely get us beat, but I donā€™t care.

This was the whole point though right? Win the group, have the luxury of resting players.

Saliba better not do his back again, in this pointless game :grimacing:

Hopefully see Walters, Sosa, ESR and Nwaneri all come on at some point.

74

Really donā€™t like the CBs starting, but hopefully we can sub them off soon.

Finished off work only to check Twitter and see an absolute meltdown over the starting XI.

Positively surprised OA took the news well.

Itā€™s a perfectly fine line-up. The youngsters will probably come on later on.

Elneny and Cedric have no long term future at the club but they are part of the squad as things stand so you might as well hand then some minutes in case we need them in the future .

Cedric is a very real possibility of being needed over the coming weeks. Just gotta hope White gets through the busy period.

77

Yeah, the outrage is over Cedric and Elneny being used and also Saliba and Gabriel playing.

I guess thereā€™s fear over what happened against Lisbon happening again today.

78

Outrage? People have too much time then.

79

Top of the group regardless of the result? Rest as many players as possible.

I mean, it is Twitter. Thereā€™s fucking death threats in there over someone saying they like BBQ sauce in a sandwich.
