GoonerMelbI think this is our reserve's best starting line up until end of this month. There seems a bit short of options for LB with Traore and Evina on loan to Juventus and Oldham respectively.
Meade was playing there in last game against West Ham and he seems fit playing in LB. But I still put Cruise there, because I think Wenger rated him and he played well for England not so long ago.
I don't really rate Hoyte as a player, and I don't think he have any future with us. But he played almost every game for Reserve team so far and in front of Nordveit in pecking order to pair with Miquel in CB. Out of our current youth players, I would prefer Bartley, Nordveit, and Angha in that order for Hoyte's position.
If Frimpong wasn't injured I would pick him instead of Eastmond for holding midfield position. And I also rate Coquelin and Yennaris for that position. Lansbury playing as box to box midfield with Aneke playing more as attacking player.
Afobe take CF role with Sunu on the left and JET on the right. I would prefer Watt or Freeman for that LWF role than Sunu. But there's no other option with both of them currently on loan.
JET looks more and more fit to that RWF role, so it could be his best position in this current set up. With 8 goals in 5 matches, it really shows how an interesting prospect he really is. Hope he can make it in Arsenal.
