Ramsdale White Gabriel Saliba Timber Rice Odegard Havertz Saka Nketiah Martinelli

If Zinchenko is fit, he plays for Timber. I think we'll have a lot of the ball, and thus, can expect Rice to be a stopper. Let Havertz run in the midfield and be the highest player on the field quite often, leaving Eddie available to poach some chances.

Fact is, I could easy switch Partey for Havertz, Trossard for Nketiah.

11-0-0, a very daring formation.

[–] Arsenal4ever@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Handbrake off.

[–] No1@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm naturally more defensive, so I think I'd go Partey for Havertz, and have Rice move forward more when we have the ball, Xhaka style.

But what I like most is that all these are quality options!

[–] Arsenal4ever@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Partey at right back was not even a thought.

[–] No1@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Wait what? Partey as rearmost DM/CM. Rice moving forward more and Ode OM.

Ramsdale

White Gabriel Saliba Timber

Partey Rice Odegard ~~Havertz~~

We were both right. Sort of.

Had a wedding last night and got 3 hours sleep. It's going to be a miracle if I make it for KO tomorrow.

Really hoping we can open the season with the win. On paper this should be a pretty easy opener, but I'm worried last seasons success might have the players feeling extra stress.

Plenty of time for sleep! Still got over 12 hours until kick off lad!

[–] I_am_the_grass@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is crazy. A formation/setup completely untried during preseason. What's Mikel cooking?

[–] coygsu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Idk, he might be underestimating Forest. I'd prefer either a double 6 with Partey or Trossard for Havertz.

[–] ironeaglebird@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Let's batter them. I would really like some revenge for our away lose.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Word is, we didn't get the paperwork done in time for Raya. Wonder if we'll see Hein or Okonkwo — and which one — on the bench then. (or possibly even Hillson)

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Or maybe even Runarsson

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Both Okonkwo and Hein.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Delay at the turnstiles; game starts half an hour late. Probably cuz of the new system.

[–] HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Flo just posted the lineup on his Instagram story. Feels very backhanded to me.

[–] I_am_the_grass@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've learnt to just ignore his social media.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

tbf, on the other hand he twote a "coyg" on twitter

[–] Arsenal4ever@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

He's listed as injured.

[–] ChrV@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you guys think we'll see a different starting 11 from the Community Shield match?

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Definitely different. We don't need the defensive stability of Rice Partey, so Havertz at left 8 for me and Nketiah at striker. Rumour is that Rice isn't fully fit so we should let Partey be the 6 for the game as well.

[–] kleautviool@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Let's see if Trossard starts. The man deserves it

[–] katie_lied@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Agreed. I think he will start Trossard and Havertz. Maybe Rice on the bench and load the attack for the first half. Need to come out of the blocks fast tomorrow.

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Already plan to make a big old pot of coffee tomorrow am since got evening shift tonight.

I'm hoping we see Trossard start.

[–] DotSlashExecute 2 points 1 year ago

So excited for the season to be back, City set the pace, let's keep up! COYG!

[–] HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Potential 3-2-2-3 with no Magalhaes, Kai and Ø behind front 3.

[–] coygsu@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Havertz over Trossard :(

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Someone's gonna get fired or have to write a full length report regarding this ticketing system lol

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

We got a match thread going?

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

😑 were there any problems the other day with entry?

[–] Matt_Sams_314@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, seemed fine for Monaco

[–] MHPengwingz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm wondering....if some dumbasses forgot to update to the new app?

[–] Matt_Sams_314@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The pass is on Apple / Google wallet, not the app itself. It seemed the whole of the ticket / gate system needed to be reset at one point as no one was getting in.

[–] Arsenal4ever@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Man Cheaty scored, proving to everyone all over the world that cheating wins.

[–] HaleEndGrad@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Low intensity match, Zina has to start.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Apparently he's not available for the game. Neither is Tierney or Holding.
