I’ve had no players today and already it’s been a bad day

Need Sterling (C) and Sane to product the goods now

Benimar

I had to choose between Auba (c) and no Sterling, or Sterling (c) and no Auba.

Guess which one I went with?

Hint: I fcuked up!

Should have left the armband on PEA instead of moving it to Sterling.

I made the same move because PEA had been out of form last few weeks and played mid week.

I always had him in mind as captain for this GW when buying him.

Him playing 90 minutes on wednesday created enough doubt for me to go sterling.

Pedro doesn’t even need to play now for getting him instead of hazard to be a success for me

I was just considering him as he dropped to 5.0 last night but if Arsenal can’t keep a clean sheet hometo Burnley there’s not much point.

Doherty a better option as attacking and Wolves keep some clean sheets.

So you messed up before your captained kicked a ball?

Did you mess up cause you didn't have Salah or him captained either?

Lemlin

Laca should have done better there but glad he didn’t.

SlickRic

Kane and Sané have a lot of pressure on them now.

Brighton and Pool away next as well, expect them to concede in both.

I messed up because I wanted to keep Auba and felt he would play. I allowed the fear of him not starting to take over which I never do, I always trust my own judgement.

Sterling needs 13 points to match Auba, I think he’s long odds to score that high, so yes I messed up.

Edit: I didn’t mess up not captaining Salah, as he was never on my radar to captain.

Fraser benched ........

Laca off for Iwobi

Laca off, 90 for Auba

Sterling is 18/5 to score 2 or more goals - which will more likely get you 13 points, those odds are not exactly long. So it' beset to wait till a game has finished before getting dramatic and saying you made the wrong decisions.

SlickRic

Yedlin benched.

Fúcking hell.

S.M.B.

Sterling just needs a goal, assist and clean sheet to match PEAs haul. Definitely achievable if it wasn't we would not have gone down that route to begin with.

He could easy get that. Relax people .

Great work by Kola to get the call across the box and PEA is standing back, not in there!

3rd consecutive start for 3.9m Bednarek

I’ve watched him closely last few weeks
He has been highly involved in any good attacking play with very little output up till now

Non damaging goal really

I'd love to have a cheapish reliable way into the arsenal attack, plenty burnt on laca today, PEA the last few weeks and Ozil is a non option

Good gw already auba kola Robertson Salah. Kane c to score at least a goal and I'll be happy.
