Team for Arsenal....

[Mr Pink]

Revised team:

Vicario

Porro
Romero
VDV
Davies

Bentancur
Sarr
Maddison

Johnson
Richarlison
Son


Davies and Son have plenty of experience linking down the left over the years.

 

[chas vs dave]

Arsenal play a 5 4 1 out of possession. They do drop deep when not on the ball, I'm not sure son is the right choice at CF, imo.

 

[PLTuck]

What I want

Vic
Dragosin Romero VDV
Royal Biss Bentancur Davies
Kulu
Richy Son


What I expect

Vic
Royal Romero VDV Davies
Biss, Bentancur, Maddison
Johnson Son Werner

 

[Mr Pink]

Changed my mind:

Vicario

Porro
Romero
Davies
VDV

Bentancur
Sarr
Maddison

Johnson
Richarlison
Son

 

[ItsBoris]

I'd probably go with Bissouma for this one, he's only a problem against low block countering teams. He's good as a pivot if we're playing out the back. Just lacks the ability to be a sole #6 when we're playing a high line with 2 fullbacks ahead of him imo.

Vic
Porro Romero VDV Davies
Bissouma
Sarr Maddison
Johnson Richarlison Son​

 

[bubble07]

Vicario
Porro Romero VDV Emerson
Bissouma
Sarr Maddison
Johnson Richarlison Son

Subs: Austin, Dragusin, Davies, Bentancur, Hojberg, Lo Celso, Kulusevski, Gill, Werner,

 

[BH_spurs]

I think Kulusevski simply has to play, we can’t have all three of the forwards being players who turn the ball over easily.

 

[chas vs dave]

I actually agree with you. However, I feel we need to play richy as arsenal will drop into a 541 formation out of possession.

 

[Mr Pink]

Kulusevski has to play imo.

 

[bubble07]

Kulusevski has to play imo.

Yep I agree although my line up earlier had him benched

We should bring on werner and Johnson if required and start son richy and kulu

 

[robhumphreys]

Kulusevski has to play imo.

Understand the logic but he’s so out of form and his confidence seems shot to shit.

 

[SpursSince1980]

I just hope the team comes out with a ton of intensity,

 

[Cambridge Spur]

Vicario
Porro
Romero
Van de Ven
Davies
Bentancur (6)
Sarr
Maddison
Kulusevski
Richarlison
Son

 

[Cambridge Spur]

Kulusevski has to play imo.

Your lineups above would suggest otherwise…

 

[Mr Pink]

Keep changing my mind lol

Good point. We have struggled to control games as much since Kulu has gone out the team.

 

[robbiedee]

With their height and success at set pieces/corners, I'd try this - fear the worst and hope for the best..

Vicario
Porro
Romero
Dragusin
VDV
Bissouma
Bentancur
Maddison
Kulusevski
Richarlison
Son

Gives us some decent options off the bench as well, especially when Maddison has picked up an early yellow for arguing with the ref...

 

[Nick-TopSpursMan]

Son left wing really won’t work imo and will also badly expose our left flank as he simply hasn’t got the energy to cover out wide anymore.

Nevermind the fact that in possession he simply doesn’t work out wide in this system either.

If we don’t want Son striker in this match then he should be on the bench. I say that as one of his biggest fans.

...then I'd be inclined to bench him. I feel terrible for saying that. Put Brennan on the left maybe over Timo

 

[YB123]

I think he will go Kulu Richy and Son.

Johnson and Werner for later in the game when its stretched.
