Must Win.
Cant take the fatigue from the Bayern game.
Has to be a win otherwise we can start to kiss the title goodbye.
---------------Ches------------------
Jenks-----Merts--------Kos--------Monreal
--------Arteta--------Rosicky-----------
Gnabry--------------Cazorla------------Podolski
-------------Olivier Giroud---------------
Expecting players to get rested for this. Pods has to start.
Hopefully Verm is back, but that's what you get with only one back up CB
3-0
Santi hattrick
Apart from the defence, we can make quite a few changes if all the players are knackered. I presume Gibbs is out for a while again. Which could be as detrimental as losing Feo and Ramsey.
Szczesny
Jenkinson
BFG
Koscielny
Monreal
Arteta
Rosicky
Cazorla
Oxlade
Giroud
Podolski
2-0 (Podolski, Cazorla).
Also, the Bergy statue is being unveiled before this.
:bow:
back to the bread and butter and imperitive we win this if we are to challenge for the title, made all that little more difficult with the exertions of last night but id expect many changes to the team.
Ches, Jenks, Mert, Verm (if fit) monreal, arteta, Rosicky, Cazorla, Podolski, Giroud, Gnarby.
That only leaves mertesacker as the only player who played the full 90 mins on wednesday and should be good enough to pick up 3 points.
I want Sanogo to play again :bow:
I like that line up... is Ox fit or is he injured? If he is injured, how long is he out for?Quote:

I would keep with sanogo. Although I don't see any world beater there, but he tries hard and should be given the easier game than the last two. Gnabry should play too if the ox is out. Arteta instead of flam no need for both. Sunderland have improved under poyet so it could be tricky after the match on Wednesday. But no feeling sorry for ourselves just get on with it and get three points.
2-0.
Gibbs is injured again and you have to wonder if this guy will ever have ONE injury free season? always pulls his hammy.
Montreal, over the last few games, has been a total liability and is our weakest link right now. Id play Vermaelen at LB and the others pick themselves.
If the Ox is fit then id start him and Pod on the flanks with Sanogo upfront. Cazorla, Flamini and Jack in midfield. Although when you consider how much ground Jack and Flams covered, one of them at least could be rested.
No we need to go back to Giroud. I think he's got the message and rest he needs now.
As much as Sanago's recent performances have been a welcome relief from Giroud's poor form of late, let's not delude ourselves to think he's been that specatacular. No goals or assists and still looks a long way off being ready at the top level. Early season Giroud is still a noticeable improvement on Sanago and something we need to recapture if we want to make a run for the league.
Arsenal.com has Gibbs' injury as his buttock. :lol:
Trouble on the training ground? Arsenal duo Wilshere and Flamini in heated discussion
:haha: Daily Mail's headline

I'd link the article, but fuck them getting page hits.

Man, the training ground looks amazing, just wish I could play on it :lol:
I doubt it to be honest, he's one of the crocks we keep on the books that misses half a season every every season, personally I'd call it a day and sign someone else who can play most of the time as we can't keep carrying injured players, it's one of the major problems at the club.Quote:

I'm fully expecting one of their standby shit-rakers to post an article declaring a ninth CRISIS of the day after Wilshere and Flamini "come to blows" on the team coach.
Just give it five minutes.
Metro is worse. They were running a teaser throughout their footie articles on Wednesday after the game, "Watch Mertesacker hurt a small child in tunnel clash" When you clicked through it was Merts highfiving a kid who was grinning all over his face. Absolutely no limit to what they write write or say.
We need more crazy clothes-cutting people at this club. Flamini :bow:
Seriously has any seen the training pics lately? Everyone in shorts or pants except for Flamini who plays in a pair of cutted pants instead. Who does that? :d

Going to this one :scarf:
Cazorla should hopefully have a more effective game today, being in the centre rather than fading out wide.
Bye.Quote:

^ Ozil's not in the squad. Also I'd rest Sagna.

Funny, i remember Bergkamp not having the best start at Arsenal... Imagine if it was today, Ozil all over again :d
Nothing on SSN this morning about the Bergkamp statue. :rolleyes:
Man, he's been such a great for us,ended his career with us and 11 years :crying:

Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Arteta, Rosicky, Wilshere, Cazorla, Podolski, Giroud.
Subs: Fabianski, Jenkinson, Flamini, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gnabry, Sanogo, Bendtner.
Ozil dropped entirely from the squad? Can understand not starting him but at least keep him on the bench. Unless it's been pre agreed between him and the boss this isn't going to do his confidence any good.
I think it's the right thing to do, it was going to get really poisonous (if it wasn't already).
A lot of great pace in that starting eleven. :coffee:Quote:
