I'd give Elyounoussi another start, his form last season was kick started by a great performance in this fixture.

Doesn't remind me much of VVD, I would say he seems more like a young vidic.

No way Djenepo plays, he's gone down with cramp earlyish in the last two games. KWP will play left back, or we'll have a back 3 with Redmond or Elyounoussi there.

I know Mara needs a goal etc but I would rest him and Adams in this game.

Too important to play, that's a new one.

Clearly being frozen out. So harsh on a fantastic servant. There is still room for experienced players in our team.

Really good to have a proper CB again and not just a bunch of players who can pass the ball about well but are weak as shit when defending.

Gabriel and Saliba are a proper quality CB pairing and Zinchenko and Jesus are making their attacking players finally click. They might suffer with lack of quality backup, especially being in the Europa League too, but the window is still open and there's always January.

Arsenal are challenging for the title this season 100%.

Of course, but up until this season there was a large percentage of the team that had played together since they were 12-15 years old. It's a big transition for those that are left.

From that point of view Armstrong is very similar just without the aerial ability.

Djenepo got a lot better as the game went on as well. When Perraud is fit I'd have no problem with him playing in AM instead of Elyounoussi.

I'm torn now about where we should invest our funds. I do think another striker is necessary because after Mara and Adams we only have Armstrong, but I wonder if we should be looking for another younger player as backup and spending more money on a more creative AM/left back.

Are we literally waiting till we go a goal down to launch ourselves at 100%?

My first time watching this post match thing on YouTube, who is this Joe bloke?

Injury to Adams or Mara and we have Armstrong up top again though.

We lost a lot of talented players with the move to full time.

Adams and Mara up top is clearly our best chance to win the most games this season.

The only evidence we have is that we're better with Adams on the pitch.

Give it a rest. Another game day of Saints playing much better after Ralph makes the changes fans were calling for from the start...

ABK man of the match for me.

Feel for the bloke, being frozen out, he should still have a big part to play in our squad.

Romeu on for Elynoussi with JWP sitting further forward is what I would have done.

Elyounoussi is STILL on 😂

Lyanco coming on, switching to 3 at the back. Not sure about that...
