It’s a new season and Sky Sports has sprung for some fresh team line-up graphics.
No longer are players in motion, with arms folded and steely glares, in the line-ups. Sky are going for more of a pop art approach.
Players have obviously been told to express themselves so Arsenal’s Hector Bellerin took the concept and ran with it.
Here is a man confident in his own skin…
Wtf is this all about? 😳 Elneny looks like he's on spice. Ox looks like he asking for a fight. Xhaka can't be arsed. Bellerin looks a dick pic.twitter.com/vMTvQZ1aLv

Grabbing the collar. Showing off the ink. Knowing smirk. 3/10 facial hair growth. Healthy crop of hair.
Needless to say, the reaction was rapid and it was strong.
Is Bellerin lining up for a squad photo or an Abercrombie photoshoot? C'mon lad…

Arsenal raged into a 1-0 lead when new boy Alexandre Lacazette scored on his league debut but that lasted all of three minutes.
A Jamie Vardy cross was whipped into the back post and, with Bellerin switching off in the presumption the ball was going out, Harry Maguire nodded it back for Shinji Okazaki to score.
Bellerin copped some flak for that too.
Someone should tell Bellerin the @premierleague has already started. Sleeping while defending
Okazaki 1-1#ARSLEI

Vardy then rocked the Gunners to make it 2-1 after half an hour and many of the home fans had that ‘Here we go again’ feeling.
