I don’t think white is going to play in this game.

Realistically the only thing diff Arteta could have done was start Tomi at rb and Tavares at lb.

And with that we prob should take saka out.

We need to be prepared not to make top 4 because we are going to get destroyed in this game. Tottenham only need to tie us on points.

More bad defending and ball watching yay. Odegaard just standing there looking on. Elneny and Gabriel both on Kane and still can't win the ball.

We are truly fricked now. Holding suspened, White not healthy enough to play, and now Gabriel with a hamstring pull. Arsenal have 0 healthy center backs for the next match.

I think we go:

Nuno-Xhaka-Tomiyasu-Cedric
Elneny-Odegaard
Martinelli-ESR-Pepe
Eddie

Worst case scenario lineup

Yeah we have played elneny at cb before. But you’d just swap Xhaka with elneny.

Isn’t Xhaka close to a yellow card suspension?

As badly as Nuno can be defensively, I prefer him to Cedric.

Cedric and Holding were a disasterclass

Saliba will have zero issues being in the rotation next season

Yeah I think with holding playing would have been better with Tomi on that side with son.

No doubt about it. Cedric and Holding defending Son is what lost the match. Arteta got this one completely wrong today.

Post match interview Arteta came across as a complete clown. Blamed the ref for everything and didn't say anything about the lack of composure of his players or lack of discipline.

The Penalty is so so, you've seen some refs call it while others don't, but the Holding 2nd yellow was completely inexcusable. That is 100% on the player. He lost his damn mind and let the team down.

I mean Cedric and Holding lost the game, that is all there is to it. I don't think any of the rest of our players were really that bad at all tbh.

Arteta can't come out and say "Cedric and Holding are fricking idiots" even if they are btw. There is too much confidence to lose at this point considering we very well will need both of them to finish strong.

I expect White to be back on Monday. He wouldn’t have been on the bench otherwise. If Gabriel misses then White, Tomi, Nuno, and Cedric will be the back 4.
