FA Cup: Arsenal V Burnley, 30th Jan KO 1500

[Power n Glory]

Surely Theo's not getting a game after his last batch of performances? That would be taking favouritism too far. Giroud up top, Ramsey and Campbell wide, Elmo and hopefully a fit Coquelin or else I guess it's Flamster in the middle. Ozil conducting.

As it is, Ozil will probably be on the bench and will we see, for no credible reason whatsoever, Ospina in goal instead of Cech?

We don't have a back up striker and we also need to start preparing for that Barca game. I think we'll get a firm beating like we did against Bayern if we set ourselves up to play like that again. The best Theo has been for us this season has been up front. Playing on the wide left hasn't been good especially when he's only focused on making runs and passes in the final third. He doesn't carry the ball so his days as a winger should be over. The left experiment hasn't worked.

Ramsey wide? I wouldn't. What's that going to achieve? Play Campbell and Sanchez wide. Bring back that counter attacking pace we were playing with at the start of the season. Ramsey has to get used to playing in the middle so if Coquelin is fit, play him alongside him to see if he fairs better. Rosicky should be on the bench to take over that CM role if he's not up to task. Pushing Ramsey wide would be favoritism. We need to get certain up to speed for the fourth coming games. I'd rather rest Bif for this one. Let him come off the bench.

You mention favoritism and Wenger playing player's out of position often as a criticism but on this occasion, you'd play Ramsey wide? For what purpose when we have Sanchez and Campbell? Flamini shouldn't play either. I'd rather we tried Elneny in that role if Coquelin isn't fit.

Wenger is not going to drop Ramsey so he has to be accommodated somewhere. I'd rather it not be the centre.

I would like to see Iwobi start up front. I have been very impressed with his performances whenever he had a chance. He looks strong, has good feet and makes good runs. He needs a goal, and I have a feeling he will fly from there.

[Power n Glory]

Can he play up front? Would rather give Sanchez or Campbell a chance up if we're going to really experiment.

He is listed as forward on the Arsenal website. I also remember him playing up front for the U-21 and the reserve team.

[Power n Glory]

Worth a shot in that case.

Yeah, he has the feet of an athlete.

Coquelin is BACK for this!

Welbeck will play in the reserve game against Brighton on Feb 5th
