Looks a lot more like the old 4-2-3-1 to me with Ozil behind Welbeck. Hopefuly in the number 10…
I reckon 3-0 to us, comfortable win, Welbeck and Ozil to do really well at last. Fingers crossed!!!
I hope whoever thumbed this down is now eating some humble pie. Perfect prediction!
What’s the Ox got to do to get a shirt? Anyway, Arsense Knows… Good luck chaps!
U mean champs?
I’m more worried by the fact that the closest we have to defensive subs are Coquelin and Diaby.
C’mon you gooners !!!
Oh mann… What do ox and rosicky have to do to get a game??!!
I feel that the word “cunt” will be well used tonight
Diaby!
He made the bench and fingers crossed he will start in our League Cup ! 3 Points today please COME ON YOU GUNNERS 🙂
I would love to see diaby coming on in the second half hopefully after we lead with two goals.COYG
Thought Ox might start, Other than that no surprises, come on you reds!
I’m a pretty unsentimental guy but I would probably cry tears of joy if Diaby can get a proper season under his belt.
Aston villa 1-3 Arsenal 3
COME ON YOU GUNNERS!!!
3 points for the Arsenal it is then!! COYG!!!
Ozil starting again. Ox and Mozart cant get a game. And we kept Campbell for apparently no reason whatsoever. Ffs
either Sanago or Campbell should be on the bench.
Sanogo is injured and Campbell isn’t good enough yet.
Love this lineup, COYG!
what’s happened to flaming? bit concerned by the lack of a DMF, but i guess arsene knows
The way Flamini has been playing, I’m happier to have the Coq on the bench, rather than him.
Diaby on the bench!!!
Not a single sub for the back 4. Dangerous…
Diaby on the bench! Holy sh!t! What kind of a parallel universe am I living in?
Good to see casorla in think Wilshire needs a rest ! N come on boys good result needed
I wonder if thats ozil or cazorla through the middle. Also curious to see if we go back to having ramsey playing from deeper alongside arteta again, that’s his best position imo.
I think ozil may have a good game with him cazorla linking up
FOUR THREE TWO ONE #Ozil 10
Come on you Gunners!!!!!
Can anybody please tell wenger, that campbell still playing for arsenal?
Rosicky MUST get some game time today.
For God’s sake.. Wilshere was just finding his form, and agree that Ox deserves a game as well, and Rosicky. Why not play Campbell on the left – a position he wants to play in and NO ONE ELSE wants to play in – Ox on the right with Walcott, when he’s back, and rotate through the middle via form.
need a strong performance COYG!!!!!!!
It looks like he’s still playing on the wings
Looks more like the system from last year without wilshere shoehorned in, hopeful for today! Surprised to see le coq on the bench instead of say flamini or bellerin, hopefully he won’t be needed.
Sorry for a mistake thumbs down, meant to be for the next comment!!!!!
Can’t believe he’s starting arteta joke
Don’t know why you got voted down, you helpfully stated it wa a joke after the statment, as if saying that the most important element of our midfield starting is a bad thing wasn’t enough of a giveaway!
Diaby has made the subs bench, hoorah! I hope he gets some game time, please…
Remember his goal against Villa a few years ago?? Peach!
I like this side. Let’s see Ozil through the middle. Destroy Destroy Destroy.
Podolski should be used more, not just subbed on in the last 10 mins. Same with campbell and the ox.
Arsenal’s bench consisting of 1 GK, 5 midfielders and 1 striker….LOL
Sooooo much depth :}
Has anyone noticed that we have nein defenders on the bench?
No defenders on the bench… hmmm
Sky sports reporting alexis on the bench for chambo
I can only assume he picked up a knock in the pre-match warmup, I’m expectring many conspiracy theories about him ‘standing up to Wenger’ or ‘refusing to play until we sign a defender’ or some such crap.
Just heard the guy on sky sports news say that the ox is in for Sanchez???
Apparently not an injury, just an error on the original sheet
I love football.
Feeling positive.
Why is Arteta starting suddenly a joke? Club captain and been great for us ever since he joined! Oh wait, he did play badly in his first game back from injury …
Shit sanchez dropped to the bench for some reason. Ox gets a start tho. Blogs please update
So Diaby is our 3rd string CB…?
Riverside 2004=villa park 2014. Let Messrs Alexis, özil and welbeck emulate pirés, ljungberg and oooonry. Coyg!!!!!!
Coquelin? Diaby?!
Would like to see some rotation today. Really like to see Rosicky get in.
Nervously waiting for game to begin. Need 3 here, ManCity 3 tomorrow, 3 against Tot.then we can go to Chelski in good shape. Not asking for much. Need to stay close to top till we gell and get past the injuries.
No cover for any defender… Makes me nervous given our recent injury rate.
4141 again. Why do we have to disagree with one thing or another every year? We wanted another Striker last season, now we got 2 this season, we’re arguing about formation.
Arteta can’t catch up with any of Aston Villa’s midfielders.
Ox is starting, not Alexis. also, Rosicky should be starting. that is all.
No defenders joke.
