I just don't understand what Arteta hoped to achieve with the team selection today, it wasn't even our best available 11. We want rid of 60% of the back five.
Kolasinac has spent half the week trying to get his contract cancelled/paid up so he can join Fenerbache and he gets picked to start at City?!
We would have at least stood a fighters chance if we went at them. Yeah, we probably still would've lost but we would've had our dignity intact. Xhaka is so frustrating, has a half decent Euros, comes back after not getting a move away, gets an extension and goes in two footed like a twat, although in his defence he was left to hold the midfield on his own against that City team.
As a back 5 we should've gone:
Leno
AMN
Holding
Mari
Tierney
Saka
Lakonga
Pepe
Odegard
Aubamayang
ESR
Not perfect and hugely flawed/inexperienced but at least it would be brave
