Arsenal (The Gunners) | Special Thread

LS | Arsenal very serious in selling Mustafi this month, Emery dropped him in today's matchday against Newcastle. Mavropanos set to stay and fight for his place. #afc
 
"I wanted to sign a player who can push us and give us more competitive capacity in the attacking third. With goals, with the ability to play decisive passes, and also to work with hunger"

- Emery on Nicolas Pepe
 
Headline v facts:

Headline: Kieran Tierney stuns Arsenal medical staff by smashing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s vertical jump record – despite carrying an injury

Facts: Record was for a vertical jump and stood at 54cm. Tierney jumped 55.

'smashed'
 
Dinos Mavropanos is still expected to be out for six to eight weeks and Emile Smith Rowe is not ready to return yet.

Bernd Leno will continue in goal for Arsenal and he will be backed up by Sokratis Papastathopoulos and new boy Luiz in central defence.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Nacho Monreal are expected to fill the full-back positions in a four man defence.

Who Emery will decide to play in central midfield is open to debate but Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira are the most likely starters.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan could start on the right with Pepe still returning to match fitness after his African Nations exploits with Ivory Coast.

Mesut Ozil and Sead Kolasinac have not travelled north because of “further security incidents”.

Two weeks ago the pair were involved in an attempted carjacking and the club have confirmed they have taken the decision not to include the duo just yet.

Striker Alexandre Lacazette is still a doubt following an ankle injury sustained in pre-season but should play some part.

Right-back Hector Bellerin is out until October, while Rob Holding is still not match fit.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan could start on the right with Pepe still returning to match fitness after his African Nations exploits with Ivory Coast.

With Ozil missing out this weekend, 19-year-old Joe Willock may get a chance to impress in the central attacking role.

New loan signing Dani Ceballos could place that role if Emery deems him fit enough to start.

If Lacazette is passed fit as expected then he will play through the middle with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on the left side.

(4-2-3-1): Leno; Maitland-Niles, Luiz, Sokratis, Monreal; Xhaka, Torreira; Willock, Aubameyang, Mkhitaryan; Lacazette

Lampad anacheza namba ngapi mkuu?
 
Emery:

"Ceballos’ mind is very strong. When he received a big kick on his ankle I thought ‘oh, it’s broken’. But on Monday, he was training – (he said) ‘I’m fine & want to train’. He is showing us every day his ambition, his hunger is big. I think we need players like this" #afc
 
Emery on Nketiah:


"My first decision was not to let him leave. But he spoke with me & [considering] the possibility of how many matches he is going to play with us, I said to him I could give him a lot of minutes but maybe he can improve more playing regularly with Leeds" #afc
 
Unai Emery on Pépé:

“With goals, with the ability to play decisive passes, and also to work with hunger. I think Pepe is coming here with a big ambition to improve, to grow up with us as a player. Really, I think we can be stronger with him.” #afc


Unai Emery on Nicolas Pépé:

“I wanted to sign a player who can push us and give us more competitive capacity in the attacking third.”
