Poor old Viviano. Fab will be off at the end of the season, shouldn’t we be trying to entice the next back-up?
also any idea why Verms not in the squad?
Blogs?
I’d like to see Zelalem get bit of a run today!
Exciting team selection. I hope Zelalem comes on.
Showed good touches ,sure to make a good player,my only regret will be Wenger will toss him out on loan asap,i’d like hime to get regular 20mins in the Prem,i think loanees this young are wasted playing with inferior teams.
A very strong line up
They finally let the German hammer play!
Is it possible to criticize a line-up for being too strong? Zelalem, you will be missed.
Where is Frimpong? I’ve seen him in the training photos, this seems a perfect chance to give him a break. If he is not being used at all I don’t understand why Wenger hasn’t cleared him out yet.
i reckon he’s just there for team banter! ahahha!
Thats what i thought too haha, well it seems to be working this year!
Has he completed anger management yet ??,I think he could be a real asset,but he has to calm down ,{the reason why he doesn’t play }
No Verminator on the bench? Is he injured or have the ever present illness all of our squad seems to get?
Got injured against spuds, I recall Wenger saying he should be back for Southampton though.
Interesting team selection. I’m confused, are we playing two strikers (Poldi & Bendtner) or are we playing the Ox in the middle and Poldi on the left and Bendtner alone up front?
I think Ox is playing as a deep-lying midfielder like he did against Milan a couple of years ago, with Gnabry and Poldi on the wings supporting Bendtner. It’s still a solid team selection, they should win comfortably.
Holy smeg, what a powerful line-up! Wilshere and Ox as CDMs? We must be out to break the FA Cup record for goals in this match. I hope that we’re up by a tennis score at half time so Zelalem can come on for his debut. Can’t wait to see him play in a competitive match.
Sorry, Coventry, you’re in for a hiding today.
Wilshere and Oxlade together in the middle seems very offensive… I like it!
Why not play vermaelen instead of Koscielny
Injured
Impressive team, really impressive. And that too is an understatement. Wow!!
Double pivot of Wilshere and Ox will be interesting. I suppose Jack will have to be more defensive-minded, but man there are a shit load of goals in this team. Let’s give them a good hammering!
I’m actually a bit nervous about the Wilshere-Ox pivot, since both are so attack-minded. Jack’s going to have to be extremely disciplined tonight.
That Podoski’s sledgehammer-left-leg!!!
only jack to play holding midfielder ? This is too offensive bunch of players. I fear about theirs counter-attack !
zelalem! hope he will play today
Frimpong, sadly, looks a gonner.
Why is it on poxy bt channel – stick it on a proper channel we can all watch it on you scumbags!!!

Nice line up make it worth my migraine please boys 🙂
I’d have loved to see frimpong on the bench
buy me mr wenger
Where is Vermaelen?
injured
Wilshere-Ox central. Sexy
Fellow Gooners where can i watch the match online in the UK ? Money’s too tight to mention
livestream anyone?
Ox played most of the game in the middle at Newcastle (1-1) last season, and that kinda worked out ok.
And we’re winning
Where’s Yaya Sanogo? I thought he was supposed to be back now. Or have I missed something?
Sanogo’s back in training next week.
