I think it’s Rice as a Stones type role from CB

Sorry, you spent three paragraphs to basically offer zero evidence to dispute my statement.
Half of all titles have been won by one team.
Also, I do consider the 90s and 2000s uncompetitive because I'm not insecure about my league.
Aina will be great for you if he can remain fit. Was a really top prospect for Chelsea and one that I sad to see go.
Let’s see Arsenal with a convincing win and their fans getting carried away again.
He’s been brilliant in pre-season. I can’t believe we got him on a free.
Havertz signing makes way more sense if this is the formation Arsenal plan to use going forward. Didn't understand the move at all if the plan was to continue with 4-2-3-1.
Surprised Awoniyi isn't starting for Forest. Guess they're relying on Johnson's pace on the counter attack.

Who is missing for Arsenal? Their bench is a joke.
Jesus and Tierney.
Why has the start of game been delayed?
Fans can't come in. Technical problems at the entrance.
Genuinely forgot Jorgino plays for Arsenal.
Think their bench is strong enough. Trossard is arguably a starter.

New e-ticket system has broken
New eticket system.... 35,000 fans stuck outside because they're tickets aren't scanning.
Thanks. New fangled technology eh?
He turned an ankle in preseason and isn’t quite ready to start.
Arsenal trying to be clever with a new e-ticket turnstile technology which isn’t working. Still 35,000 people waiting outside. K.O delayed until 1pm at the earliest….
The fans
Electronic tickets are terrible for match going fans. Getting onto grounds takes forever nowadays. Leads to potential unrest.
Get paper tickets back

Yes, by position. SofaScore also puts Partey at right-back. Apparently Arteta is experimenting. Or something.
Do they not have a way of checking it on the day to make sure it is working?New eticket system.... 35,000 fans stuck outside because they're tickets aren't scanning.
Farcenal delaying the game by 30mins, what a clown show
Think it's the same basic 4-3-3 formation they always play, just with Partey as the nominal RB. One of their fullbacks inverts into midfield anyway so against a team they're going to dominate as much as Forest it may as well be an actual midfielder.
This is hilarious
Shambles. A sign of things to come?
No idea. No explanation in this thread either. They've kept us all in the dark.
The stewards are all watching England v Columbia. Once that it over, this will get sorted.
You'd have thought they'd have a backup plan to cater for something like this, but apparently not.
Someone's made a major balls up.
First match of the season like, did they not have any preseason friendlies that they could have used to iron out any issues?
Ah ok, makes sense
Yes, yes let's make sure no fans celebrate or get excited over anything. Celebration police and carried away police are definitely required. Down with the joy.
Yes, manually. Hence the 30 minutes delay.

No chance of this kicking off at 1pm even I'd imagine, 25 mins to fix the problem and get 35,000 in, yeah, that's not likely.

I think so. Very attacking lineup, but a formation that allows a lot of interchangeability.
can see the likes of rice dropping back and even partey if need be.
Havertz most likely occupies that second striker position, his tracking is possibly the worst out of this XI so can see him stationed up top more often.
Does Cooper still set up for 20% possession away from home? You're going to struggle if so, and risk Danilo, Gibbs-White etc. getting fed up.
And you're still playing two championship CBs? That's brave.
That's an elite club for you.
35k fans still outside. Can't see it starting at 1pm.
The criticism of United for "considering" reintegrating a player arrested and technically "cleared" for sexual offences while Arsenal enter their second season of wilfully playing someone on bail and under investigation for being a serial rapist.
For what it's worth, I don't think we should reintegrate our player but the media silence and double standards are deafening.
