4-4-2, Nasri and Anderson on the wings, Antonio and Arnie up front?

Wilshere on Sky Sports, hoping he can return soon.

Lukerz

Koscielny starts for them

Or maybe Nasri wide and Anderson central ?

Lukerz

Pretty adventurous side, again form Pelle. Maybe naive but we know they can be got at when attacked. Big emphasis on the middle two to keep that back four protected. Could be goals in this one.

No Chico on the bench tho

We’re bad at defending and Arsenal don’t like it up ‘em. Attack attack attack coyi

3-2 to the Hammers ;scarf

Lukerz

Really excited to see Nasri play. He was a top player only a couple of years ago. Really used to love watching him play at City & Arsenal.

If we can get him at 70% of that we will have some player.

think we are going to get rail roaded, back 4 aren't going to contain Auba

I don’t think their back 4 will have Auba in it...

Noble with the weakest shot I think I've ever seen

OldCastleSwift

Antonio's decision making is pretty awful, isn't it

Slightly more power than Steve Potts' only goal

OldCastleSwift

Zaba telling Guendouzi off ;lol

OldCastleSwift

We've had a few chances, but again, aren't taking them.

OutcastLondoner

Bilic-era Arnautovic

OldCastleSwift

Yup, hasn't done a great deal.

Apart from look frustrated.

He's done that a lot.

Jorderz_Moyes_will_be_Moyes

I just can't imagine what has ever made Antonio think he can score from outside the box with his left foot. He can't even score inside the box with his left foot.

OldCastleSwift

Without wanting to sound too critical, he is one of the most uncultured footballers I think I've ever seen

OldCastleSwift

Rice heads wide from six yards out.

Need to be so much more clinical.

ASLEFshrugged

Snoddy for Antonio at half time?

Emergency!!! I've run out of teabags!!!

He does indeed do that a lot...and then he scores.

Lukerz

Antonio is such an annoying player.

OldCastleSwift

Generally we've been ok this half. Comfortably winning the corner count and have had more chances than Arsenal, but are lacking that final bit of quality.

Arsenal are a second half team so the way it's going I think we'll do well to get anything out of this game.

grey_til_I_dye

Think we've done well.

OK, its not vintage Arsenal, but they've got a lot of good players out there, and we are matching them.

Think Antonio has done a lot of good things that half.

Lukerz

And Arnie doesn’t look up for it to me.

Maybe I am now looking for it after the news this week but his usual hassling & running with his head back is not there.
