I prefer "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit it's the only way to be sure."

Very good.
Or how about this one, comparing our board to theirs: "You don't see them f*****g each other over for a goddamn percentage".

It doesn't really matter if they don't resolve all of the issues we had on Sunday. Swapping players about isn't going to help us learn how to move off the ball. If I was pushed i'd go with:
Lloris
Dier Fazio Vertonghen Rose
Stambouli
Capoue Eriksen
Lamela Adebayor Chadli
Dier Fazio Vertonghen Rose
Stambouli
Capoue Eriksen
Lamela Adebayor Chadli

What I'd quite like to see:
Failing that if Pochettino perseveres with 4231:
Dier isn't a RB and shouldn't be played there any more.
Lloris
Naughton Dier vertonghen Rose
Mason Capoue Bentaleb
Lamela Soldado Eriksen
Naughton Dier vertonghen Rose
Mason Capoue Bentaleb
Lamela Soldado Eriksen

Soldado
Normally Adebayor would be the automatic choice but you can't be allowed to play as bad as he has been and not even try and not be dropped, it's unhealthy.Naughton Dier vertonghen Rose
Capoue Bentaleb
Lamela Eriksen Chadli
Soldado
Dier isn't a RB and shouldn't be played there any more.

I'm hating Ade at the moment, but you can almost guarantee that he will put in a shift against arsenal

We really need to conced that Arsenal are a better team than us right now. So I would pick a hard working side and hope to nick something
LLORIS
NAUGHTON
FAZIO
VERTONGHEN
ROSE
STAMBOULI
CAPOUE
DEMBELE
LAMELA
CHADLI
ADEBAYOR
Not the most inspired side but we really need to keep a foothold in the game. I would normally advocate Ade being dropped after recent performances but as we're playing his former side this is the kind of game that he shouldn't have any motivation issues for.
Stambouli and Capoue should atleast give us some strengh in the middle with the former pressing and the latter distributing quickly to the front four.
Dembele higher up will allow us to keep possession in attacking areas and he will give us some defensive strength on that side of the pitch.
I think this is a good game to give Fazio his league debut as Arsenal are one of the more technical teams in the league. So it won't be too dissimilar to the kind of teams he faced in La Liga each week.

I've done three teams in this thread and I keep changing my mind.
Dembele looked good away at Newcastle higher up the pitch playing in that nominal right sided position. Lets get him up the pitch and using his power to break into the box.
I don't think we should start Lamela and Eriksen, we're going to get ripped apart if we do. Agree with SB in that two free spirits playing against a better side is asking for trouble. Lamela has better work rate IMO and he can drop in and help our midfield out.
Chadli as our forward, he's the one taking his chances and getting in the best positions in the box - see Liverpool game, and he's on three League goals already.
Stambouli's energy and high work rate will be needed.
Definitely my final choice, and it will be 4-2-3-1, so here we go:
Lloris
Naughton
Fazio
Vertonghen
Rose
Capoue
Stambouli
Dembele
Lamela
Lennon
Chadli

Aliens fantastic set of movies, even the 3rd one.......oh sorry are we talking Arsenal here? Couldn't careless to be honest as this one is a guaranteed loss. We never and I mean never turn up at the Emirates bar that 3-2 win with the amazing ( vdv - god we miss you rafa ) and apart from that we get turned over time and time again. Same old shit, different story.

The same applies to the whole squad and its one of the things that makes them so frustrating.
