Emery rotates key personnel out for North London derby

1,201 Comments

Unai Emery has named a much-changed starting XI for the North London derby.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) and Sead Kolasinac (£5.1m) have both been named on the bench, much to the frustration of their Fantasy owners.

However, those assets are not the only ones to miss out, with midfield men Mesut Özil (£7.9m) and Lucas Torreira (£4.8m) also among the substitutes.

Those who have held onto Son Heung-min (£8.9m) will be quite excited to see a back-four seemingly made up entirely of centre-backs.

With Kolasinac and Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£4.4m) on the bench, Nacho Monreal (£5.4m), Laurent Koscielny (£5.4m), Sokratis Papastathopoulos (£5.1m), and Shkodran Mustafi (£5.4m) are the starting options in defence.

Harry Kane (£12.4m) and Son are the front two for Spurs, who are playing a 3-5-2 formation with Toby Alderweireld (£6.0m), Jan Vertonghen (£5.9m) and Davinson Sánchez (£5.8m) flanked by Kieran Trippier (£6.2m) and Danny Rose (£5.8m).

Spurs XI: Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Rose, Wanyama, Sissoko, Eriksen, Son, Kane.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Mustafi, Sokratis, Koscielny, Monreal; Guendouzi, Xhaka, Ramsey; Iwobi, Lacazette, Mkhitaryan.

      Should be this - If you get the ball first, it's not a foul. Simple. Clears up all ambiguity. No more "could have"s or "what if"s.

          I can appreciate that it's a foul in today's "game "maybe, maybe a yellow at a push... But to send someone off when they've very clearly got the ball first leaves an extremely foul taste in my mouth.

          You can't give red cards based on what could have happened surely! Give them for what has actually happened, which is winning the ball and the opponent being absolutely fine.

                  "Nothing wrong with that". Okay you've spoken. I must agree.

                  The only way to get anything near to consistency is to allow refs to punish poor tackles, rather than the outcome of the tackles. That will stop people taking the risk of lunging in, studs up, ooff the ground, out of control, leg-breaking-potential tackles.

              How is it endangering safety if you win the ball and the opponent gets up and walks away. Surely if you get the ball and your opponent is absolutely fine... then it's a perfectly timed, and more importantly safe, tackle?
              Or are we giving fouls for what could have happened in an alternative reality now?

                "How is it endangering safety if you win the ball"

                What??

                1. ENDANGERING =/= injuring
                2. Winning the ball is irrelevant to the danger or even the injury

                  If the opposing player is absolutely fine then surely it's a safe tackle by definition.
