Might as well play RLC as a RB then.
If we want to get something out of the game we need a back 4,

RLC is also not the build for RB.

We kept a clean sheet for 537 consecutive minutes with a back three this season under Potter.

Your another one that's been harping on about square holes and round pegs under Potter, so don't be a hypocrite and put RLC at RB. :wink:

Not RLC, he would be terrible to play there. I meant Chalobah. Trev can play as a right back. He has not played it often, but can play there.

I disagree mucker, Calobah has never played at RB as far as i can remember, he's 100% CB in a 2 or 3, if you think about all the decent RB's, they're all quick on the turn, fast acceleration, stay on their feet, Trevoh does stay on his feet but he's not quick enough to play RB imo.

It doesn't really matter what we think anyway, Potter will probably play a back 3 and 4 at some point on Saturday.

In his youth days Trev played there. Is not ideal, but if our other option is RLC...

Come on mate. You know as well as I Kepa was a huge reason for that. 

That being said, you could tell we were riding our luck bar the Milan and Wolves game.

or a back 3...........537 minutes clean sheet run with a back 3, the last 200 mins of that run without Reece James in the team. I'm all for a back four when Potter has all the players at his disposal.

Luck or no luck we had a back three for the whole 537 minutes, you cant just put that down to good keeping and luck, 537 minutes is a long time on the pitch.

I am sure Potter will go with a back 3, though I don't think that will help us as Arsenal will play through us.

As to who plays RWB I don't know. We again will have to put a square peg in a round hole there.

Some pegs are oval and sort of fit.

 
My main worry (much like against United) the back 5 will have us over run in midfield and the attackers will be left isolated. 

Arteta more than any manager knows how to break this system. 

 
Not feeling confident at all. Think we’re going to lose. It’s frustrating that Arteta has such a good record against us. 
 

I would be playing Auba. As frustrating as he is, he will be well up for it and looking to embarrass Arteta.

Yup that is how I see it going.

Least it isn’t a noon kickoff on a Saturday to ruin our entire weekend. 
 

Expecting some more of the same from the usual underperformers who miraculously continue to get selected.

Don’t worry, the women are playing after to wash away all the awful feelings. 

 
Definitely the underdog for this game, probably suits us right now as Potter could go back to the setup he used at Brighton. Give up the possession, defend deep and compact, and grind out an old fashioned win. The great concern is the lack of defenders and the quality of the GK, if we are sloppy the game could be over by HT.

 
better have a drink or three before the game to ease the pain of humiliation. no matter if the majority here still laughs at Arteta but at the end of the day he's having our number like no other manager. not only ours looks like nearly every other too this season.

 
One thing worries me a bit in this game.... Mendy! Its those clearances still! Shocking!

You can wing it against Zagreb, but with the current Arsenal side breathing down your neck, different story!

That the only thing that worries you about this game?

 
Never thought I'd type Kepa will be a big miss, along w Reece & Chilly. Cant see CFC getting a result with GP's constant tinkering and the rest of the injuries and Gooners EPL form. But in this league you never know, the players will have to step up and show some proper mettle which they haven't done for months.

Its a 4am KO over here so I for one will be sleeping in, and catching the match later. They've had the measure of us at SB last 2 seasons when they were crap, now they look like a proper team so its not encouraging. I'd take a draw tbh.
