This will be the seventh season we have played them in the league. Ever.
Mind you, they had Raphael Meade in the squad in 82 so, on second thoughts, it's possible....

Agree with this, Trossard seems to have lost his early games zest. Get macca in

Trossard must be exhausted, poor little chap. Shadows under his eyes like panda eyes.
Too true!
No (smoke) bombing either
With material like this we should be on the radio.

Arsenal rarely change the way they play against any team at least not wholesale, let alone Brighton.
For years they have had supreme confidence that there way is the way to win.
Or you could look at it as they are so far up their backsides that to change their style against Brighton is admitting that we are better than them.
Also watch if they go 1 up, they seem to think that will be enough and concede goals, they do it so often.
At the top of our game we can beat Arsenal, far more confident than I was before Wolves away.

I think Connolly is a big miss too.

We should play the same formation as we did at the Emirates because it worked a treat and we got the result we deserved. That meant playing Maupay and Connelly up top together as their movement, pace and pressing caused Arsenal problems. We need Bernardo at left back / wing back too, Burn is proving a a bit of a hinderance in our attacking play down the left flank.

I’ve said it many times. Lacks the bollocks and belief to be an attacking player for me. If he can’t be moved into a more defensive/wing back roll then it’s time to get rid. [emoji53][emoji53]

Leftback next season and will become a top one at that.
I too think he could become a very effective full back

He can be LB or RB, he’s played excellently at both. CH and GP kept playing him as a winger, despite a dearth of assists and goals. With CH, it was seemingly part of a 10 man defensive masterplan.

Might see Lamptey debut, no stranger to playing well against arsenal

Which is why I said “tempted” to drop him, March defends very well and has the pace to stay with quick tricky players. I would probably start with him for this reason but it does blunt our attacking prowess.
March was one of our best players at the end of the shitfest of the run in last season, but for his defensive qualities rather than attacking.

GP seems to have learnt the lesson of not altering defensive personnel, I would imagine that MM will keep his place.

He played well last Saturday, he doesn’t get much credit on here.

He’s Marmite. In the player ratings thread many praised him with high ratings, whilst others gave him low ratings ... some saying he offered nothing going forward.
