Provisional XI for Arsenal....

[redhorizon2]

and what formatio would you play?

 

[Leo]

The midfield trio will be interesting.
First time in years we have loads of options.

 

[Markeh]

No idea really, a guess

Coutinho Sturridge Mane
Milner Can Henderson
Moron Lovren Matip Clyne
Ming

 

[Comical Aly]

I'm going to be very cross if Moron and Ming start.

Obviously we don't have a choice in goal but I'd rather our moron started than Alberto Moron

 

[JurgenKlopp]

Ming (would have Karius)

Clyne Lovern Matip New LB

Gini Can Gruijic

Mane Sturridge Coutinho

 

[manwithnoname]

and what formatio would you play?

Mignolet (obviously would have been Karius)

Clyne-----Lovren-------Thor-------Moreno/ Anyone

-----------------Can------Henderson-----------

Mane----------------Wijnaldum-----------Coutinho

----------------------Sturridge-------------------

Yepp, that's it ..... as it stands.

 

[the count]

It will be interesting to see the preferred starting lineups ten games in and whether they will still include so many of our new summer signings who have yet to prove their relative shitness

Mane, Karius and Wijnaldum are all going to be first team regulars and good signings

I think everyone has such high hopes for those three along with Matip in particular it is almost inevitable that at least one will fall short of expectations.
Hopefully not but I won't be surprised if one of the fore mentioned is being somewhat castigated before the end of October

Yeah, but I didn't mention Matip. And my faith in Karius is largely because I've always thought Mignolet was fucking shit, and anyone could be better.

Mane is going to be great. And I have high hopes for Wijnaldum

But you're right, usually at least one or more of our signings is fucking shite.

I hope it's none of the above, and it would be splendid if Thor was a awesome

 

[binomial]

Manninger Clyne Klavan Lovren Milner Henderson Can Wijnaldrum Mane Coutinho Sturridge

Assuming Matip is injured, otherwise him for Klavan.

Manninger Clyne Klavan Lovren Milner Henderson Can Wijnaldrum Mane Coutinho Sturridge

Manninger is quite obviously not going to play ahead of Mignolet, binerrrrrrmial

 

[Oncy]

Mignolet
Milner
The Hound
Matip
Clyne

Can
Henderson
Wijnaldum

Lallana
Sturridge
Coutinho

 

[manwithnoname]

Mignolet
Milner

Matip
Clyne

Can

Wijnaldum

Lallana
Sturridge
Coutinho

Oncey, it's obvious Mane will start our first game if fit

 

[binomial]

We seriously need some decent full backs at this club, we have 1....we should have 3/4.

 

[redhorizon2]

Mignolet (obviously would have been Karius)

Clyne-----Lovren-------Thor-------Moreno/ Anyone

-----------------Can------Henderson-----------

Mane----------------Wijnaldum-----------Coutinho

----------------------Sturridge-------------------

Don't you want Miner in there somewhere.

 

[Frogfish]

Away at Arsenal so we won't be going all out attack, we can do without Moreno. Klopp has said Matip will be ready.

-------------------Mignolet (would have been Karius)

Clyne-----Matip-------Lovren-------Ragnar

Henderson or Milner---------Can-----------

Mane--------------Coutinho-------------Wijnaldum

----------------------Sturridge-------------------

 

[jan]

Firmino not likely to start? Thought he's done well in pre-season

 

[Frogfish]

Firmino not likely to start? Thought he's done well in pre-season

He will obviously have to replace one of those first four .. so who steps down ? It's going to be very tough competition for places in that forward line. Guess we all want to see the new boys first.

 

[JurgenKlopp]

I wouldn't be surprised to see firmino start in place of sturridge

 

[rurikbird]

Everything depends on the specific tactical plan for this game. Depending on which Arsenal weakness Klopp will want to exploit, this could be Origi or Sturridge or Firmino or even Ings up front and the number of permutations of the attacking midfield 3 can be endless. I can only be fairly certain that Can and Hendo will start in midfield and Matip, Clyne and Lovren at the back (if all of them are fit). Mignolet in goal, unfortunately.

 

[Spionkop69]

What time is KO in England? What channel is it on?

 

[rurikbird]

I think it starts in 3 hours (you mean the Milan game, right?)

 

[moron]

I'm going to be very cross if Moron and Ming start.

Obviously we don't have a choice in goal but I'd rather our moron started than Alberto Moron

Thanks man - ultimately people should have more faith in a supporter than a paid player. I would give my life to defend - I wouldn't just push the player over in front of the referee - I would punch him in the face to stop a goal !!!!

 

[MaBigTip]

I wouldn't be surprised to see firmino start in place of sturridge

Origi will be first choice striker by the end of the season.

I kind of think Ragnar will be played ahead of Lovren.

 

[Brizzle]

Klopp loved Firmino for his work rate away from home last season - i don't see that changing.


---------------Mignolet--------------
Clyne---Lovren---Klaven---Milner
-----------------Can------------------
----------Hendo---Wijna------------
Mane------------------------Coutinho
----------------Firmino---------------


Could see potentially Studge up top with Wijnaldum on the bench...

 

[MaBigTip]

--------------Firmino/Origi - need the press and work rate
Coutinho Mane
Gini
Hendo
Can

Milner Clyne
Ragnar Matip

Mignolet

 

[peterhague]

Mignolet

Clyne
Klavan
Lovren
Moreno

Can
Henderson

Mane
Coutinho
Firmino

Origi

My prediction.
