yeah bruno is great in 8. plays the creative pass, round the corner, defence splitting vision. great close control and wins fouls. great in the small spaces outside the box
I agree with the longstaff option, hes underrated and although he didn’t have a great game against wolves we barely picked up points since longstaff was dropped. Rather than longstaff only playing if tonali doesnt, should play them both in same team. Joelinton can play wide he’ll still cover alot of ground
J7 wide right imagine it if he’s the answer that’s always been there under our noses. Bang on about keeping Sandro in the central position & Longstaff in midfield. Agree with Bruno coming back in too.
Great idea with trying Joelinton on the right..he's proven to be very versatile and he has to be involved from the start in some way tomorrow. Maybe him and Gordan can alternate mid-game, keep the opposition on their toes..but it looks like E.H. prefers a rigid/stable setup. Think it will be down to whether WIllock starts tomorrow, then he'll definitely be down the left.
I was thinking the same thing about J7 on the right. He'll fight for everything and set up others too. He's got such a great touch when tussling for possession.
0:37 agree mate, of course you want to win every game and I still believe we will get top 6 there’s still a long way to go but for me this season I just want to see us win a trophy👏🏆
Im not a massive Sean fan but the lad does seem to have a big impact on the team dynamics even if he looks off it and gets pushed off the ball . Stats dont lye we win more with Sean
Great video Keith. Yes I echo a lot of the opinions. I'd like to see Kelly in LCB, the pace is needed, we need to be moving Burn to a sub option longterm and Kelly is better there than LB, that is Hall's spot. He gets better every game, surely England contender now. I agree Joelinton at RW should be tried then Gordon gets LW back, I have wondered this for awhile. Tonali and Bruno 6 & 8 agreed. Longstaff too with Barnes and Willock as our impact subs & Miley will cover a midfield option. I wish the press would suggest this to Eddie about J7 at RW, even off the record would do! I have a feeling he will play Barnes & Gordon tomorrow and give Joelinton a similar role to the City game where he was everywhere.
Kelly HAS to start without him we have zero pace in the CB position… he made soo many crucial blocks and recovery runs that either Schär or Burn wouldn’t have had a hope in hell making
My midfield 3 for tomorrow would be Tonali Bruno and Willock with Joelinton on the left wing interchanging with Willock as they link up quite well. Tonali and Bruno could also switch between being on the right of midfield linking up with Gordon and in the middle dictating play. At the back I’d play Schar and Kelly in the middle with Hall on the left and Tino or Krafth on the right.
Nver thought about big Joe on the right but got to be worth a try. I love Miggy and Murphy but they sometimes feel comfortable in getting a start. We need someone to put pressure on their position to see how much more they can give ⚫️⚪️
Why can’t Joelinton play up front as part of a front two with Isak? His work rate closing down and physicality would scare a lot of defenders, and he is skilled enough to put Isak in space.
Big call Keith putting J7 on the right wing for such a big game. Has he ever played there? I can’t remember him ever doing that. Would be so unlike Eddie to make a decision like that…
Not what we want to see at home, but Arsenal are in form, and weve only had one decent game recently.. how about 3 at the back, with wing-backs, Gordon as a 10? ---- Pope ---- Krafth -- Burn -- Kelly Tino ------------------- Hall Bruno -- Tonali -- Jolinton Gordon Isaak
We have any amount of players who can play on the right wing. Joelinton of course, but also Isak if we put Osula through the middle. Gordon can play there, if he enbraces it rather than sulking. Barnes can play there. Hell, anyone who can whip in a cross with their right foot can play there, and that would give the opposition defence something to think about rather than us predicatably coming inside and trying to walk the ball into the net.
It is clear that Bruno playing 6 without Botman and Longstaff to cover brings some imbalance to the team, if we want Tonali in the team Bruno has to play as 8.
If Eddie picks the same team as Chelsea in the premier he will take the sting out of the crowd before we start Arteta needs surprise not predictable formation selection
I just can’t see Joelinton as a right winger, because of the shortage in that position maybe it’s worth a try but I don’t think Arsenal is the game to try it.. he’ll probably stick with Gordon
I think it’ll be left wing for Joey just to shut down Saka’s threat completely. Get what you’re saying - ordinarily he could play there - good players can play anywhere. LW or pressing forward in Germany - times those runs outside to in so well from lw
Alreet Keith yous need to ask Eddie better questions man we want to know why is Bruno not playing as 8 why is tonalli not starting as a 6 joelington should be further up as a focus point, we have Italian Brazilian england internationals shouldnt be 12th in the league, Why don't we have a number 10 like a Madison Isaks not gonna score if he doesn't get chances Gordon's the only creative player if Bruno was in the 6, Can't yous ask him some proper questions Keith Ask why we dont have a number 10 but we sold elliott Anderson but keep longstaff almiron ..
This is a bit of a test for Eddie in terms of my faith in him. Hopefully he restores it. He seems really blinkered in his thinking in my opinion. Can I ask about Hall's pace? Keith says "he's so fast". Yet Geordi Journals reckons he lacks a yard of pace. I don't get to watch much live, hence the question.
Love your positivity but I can’t see us getting anything. I am looking forward to the absolute meltdowns coming back though. It’s been a boring few days with all the armchair moaners fading back into the shadows.
Tonali has to play in his best position, deep lying CM - no brainer, far more effective than Bruno there.
Yes agree, Bruno has played 8 in Brazil and Lyon pretty much most of his career.
yeah bruno is great in 8. plays the creative pass, round the corner, defence splitting vision. great close control and wins fouls. great in the small spaces outside the box
Never boring! thank you, Keith
I agree with the longstaff option, hes underrated and although he didn’t have a great game against wolves we barely picked up points since longstaff was dropped. Rather than longstaff only playing if tonali doesnt, should play them both in same team. Joelinton can play wide he’ll still cover alot of ground
Joelinton wide left will also help with the threat of Saka
Speak a lot of sense Keith your ideas on team selection is what a lot of the fans is wanting, top content as per usual.
Tonali provided against Chelsea what we have been crying out for for two seasons.
----Pope-----
Tino-Schar-Kelly-Hall
--- Tonali-----
--Bruno-Willock--
Gordon-Isak-Joelinton
That’s the strongest team
Spot on. Let’s mass email this to Howe bc for once I actually want him to listen to us all lol
Gordon is our best player and you want to play him OOP
J7 wide right imagine it if he’s the answer that’s always been there under our noses. Bang on about keeping Sandro in the central position & Longstaff in midfield. Agree with Bruno coming back in too.
@@Mickey-s09 if bale and ronaldo can switch wings then Gordon has no excuses
Yep - my side too
Great idea with trying Joelinton on the right..he's proven to be very versatile and he has to be involved from the start in some way tomorrow. Maybe him and Gordan can alternate mid-game, keep the opposition on their toes..but it looks like E.H. prefers a rigid/stable setup.

Totally agree with your team selection
Spot on with your team selection
I was thinking the same thing about J7 on the right. He'll fight for everything and set up others too. He's got such a great touch when tussling for possession.

Decent price that Keith, hope you had £100 on it 😉
Interesting thought fella but EH wouldn’t experiment with Jo on the right but you make a could case.🤔
Nver thought about big Joe on the right but got to be worth a try. I love Miggy and Murphy but they sometimes feel comfortable in getting a start. We need someone to put pressure on their position to see how much more they can give ⚫️⚪️
Why can’t Joelinton play up front as part of a front two with Isak? His work rate closing down and physicality would scare a lot of defenders, and he is skilled enough to put Isak in space.
I would like to see that starting line up.... Big Jo on the right..
Good call Keith but will Eddy take that much of a risk? Kelly should start as Arsenal have speed to trouble Burn.
agree with you on that team. Bring in Barnes and Willock later 2nd half
Big call Keith putting J7 on the right wing for such a big game. Has he ever played there? I can’t remember him ever doing that. Would be so unlike Eddie to make a decision like that…
No he hasn’t mate but I’ve never seen him play as a wing back and in that 2nd half against Chelsea he did the job required
Not what we want to see at home, but Arsenal are in form, and weve only had one decent game recently.. how about 3 at the back, with wing-backs, Gordon as a 10?
---- Pope ----
Krafth -- Burn -- Kelly
Tino ------------------- Hall
Bruno -- Tonali -- Jolinton
Gordon
Isaak
Meant Schär not Burn
Good shout with big Joe on right. We don’t get to the byline enough
Maybe we'll see Alex Murphy play LB for some of the game.
I agree- maybe not against Arsenal but I’d also like to see J7 on right … didn’t he play there for his old club?
Joelinton on the right is spot on
We have any amount of players who can play on the right wing. Joelinton of course, but also Isak if we put Osula through the middle. Gordon can play there, if he enbraces it rather than sulking. Barnes can play there. Hell, anyone who can whip in a cross with their right foot can play there, and that would give the opposition defence something to think about rather than us predicatably coming inside and trying to walk the ball into the net.
Not heard any reports of Gordon "sulking" when playing out of position mate, in fact Eddie said the opposite...
Nice double win KD.
It is clear that Bruno playing 6 without Botman and Longstaff to cover brings some imbalance to the team, if we want Tonali in the team Bruno has to play as 8.
If Eddie picks the same team as Chelsea in the premier he will take the sting out of the crowd before we start
Arteta needs surprise not predictable formation selection
Evry Pitch tells a story.. Get a point or more to the right half of this Table Lads!
I just can’t see Joelinton as a right winger, because of the shortage in that position maybe it’s worth a try but I don’t think Arsenal is the game to try it.. he’ll probably stick with Gordon
J7, lw, Tonali left midfield Bruno centre, Longstaff right midfield, Gordon rw ....Tonali starts left midfield for Italy so I want to see how he goes.
I think it’ll be left wing for Joey just to shut down Saka’s threat completely. Get what you’re saying - ordinarily he could play there - good players can play anywhere.
LW or pressing forward in Germany - times those runs outside to in so well from lw
Nah. Gordon is great on the right. No reason not to play big Joelinton on the left.
You'd think all this would have been worked out pre season.
Can't just pick best team to play every week in preseason ,fitness different team set ups and all that comes into play
Alreet Keith yous need to ask Eddie better questions man we want to know why is Bruno not playing as 8 why is tonalli not starting as a 6 joelington should be further up as a focus point, we have Italian Brazilian england internationals shouldnt be 12th in the league, Why don't we have a number 10 like a Madison Isaks not gonna score if he doesn't get chances Gordon's the only creative player if Bruno was in the 6, Can't yous ask him some proper questions Keith Ask why we dont have a number 10 but we sold elliott Anderson but keep longstaff almiron ..
Longstaff nowhere near a top 6 team player
This is a bit of a test for Eddie in terms of my faith in him. Hopefully he restores it. He seems really blinkered in his thinking in my opinion.
Can I ask about Hall's pace? Keith says "he's so fast". Yet Geordi Journals reckons he lacks a yard of pace. I don't get to watch much live, hence the question.
Love your positivity but I can’t see us getting anything. I am looking forward to the absolute meltdowns coming back though. It’s been a boring few days with all the armchair moaners fading back into the shadows.
Total disrespect to leave willock out of the thumbnail. Proper wound me up that has
Hot take, what about Joe, tonali, Bruno midfield with a front three of Gordon, Isak, willock
Please gamble responsibly Keith 🫣🙈🤣🤣
