JACK IS A GOONER

Flamini is The Key Today…COme on Flamster !!

Dracular

COYG!!!!!!

Joel

Like the look of this team.

Arsepedant

Very attacking line-up, yet with good defensive cover. The diamond in front of Flamini will be very fluid, as all four know their defensive responsibilities. I can see this team doing a very good job of protecting Martinez, while at the same time posing a serious attacking threat. Come on ARSENAL!

Hoogy

The bench is strong for defence.

Holy Smokes Batman

2-0, Wilshere assist, Welbeck and Sanchez to score. Keep the faith!

jedi

Don’t know why Wilshere would start ahead of Rosicky or Cazorla in that hole, and drop Ox to the bench. Wenger is too persistent with him

alexis' shorts

I was thinking the same thing. Wilshere has been one of our most positive players recently
but after twisting his knee last Saturday I feel like Rosicky should get a chance.
The way it looks, our Little Mozart is not going to get on the field unless we have the game in hand.
I feel he’s earned a bit more than that but I’m not present on the training ground.

Either way, regardless on the starting eleven, COYG! Don’t get crocked, or defrocked (generally good advice).

Racerr

I feel a lil straaaaannngeeeeeeeee
A bit outta my raaaaannnngeeeeeeee
A lil bit of straaaaaaannnnggeeeeeee
Ooohh a lil outta ma range…
Yeah…
A lil outta my range…

Alexstratz

I thought Arteta was supposed to be back before Ramsey. I think this is a good line-up considering form and availability. I just hope Ramsey isn’t a disaster in the making. A 3 months disaster if you know what I mean.

goonero

Cmon lads. Can we get our season started now? Pretty please?

Tim

Why is Rosicky always benched yet some players in the first 11 always put in bad performances week in week out.Anyway Up gunners

Clock End Mike

So we’re doing the 4-1-4-1 thing again?

Maybe Jack and Aaron are going to play their “your turn to go forward, mate, I’ll hang back and cover” game.

I’m still hopeful of a very good result result tonight. Not “confident”, mind, just “hopeful”. Is that the right word?

kebabsmasher

COME ON YOU GUNNERS!! Needa result and performance. Defend from the front make it easy for Emi. COME ON

badaab

Welbeck and Sanchez again the key today- hoping we can just put up one more than we’re likely to concede.

GunnerDareMacedonija

Shit again with the 4-1-4-1

paul

Not sure what Bellerin has done wrong not to start, and now we have Monreal playing a position he doesn’t like. Oh well, Wenger knows best!??

Henry

Wenger does not know best, he is dictating so he does what he wants not what is best

Goonerblood

Definitely see Sanchez with a goal/assist…… Even more or so a win for arsenal

Gutbukket Deffrolla

The bench inspires me with confidence.

We will win tonight. I’m sure of it.

fisher

when will wenger end all dis gamble of usin players who r nt meant for other position??why monreal at cd?God will pray for wenger……

Arsepedant

What language is that?

MTZ

I was hoping to see 4231 instead of 4141, but ah well. I was also hoping to see Cazorla in the middle instead of either Wilshere or Ramsey, with Podolski on the left (he deserves a proper chance due to the tweet of the century), but that was never going to happen.

At any rate, bring it on!

Henry

Not sure why ramsey is being ruched back into the team, not sure if monreal is playing CB or rb hopefully its rb.

La Défense

Ugh… Ramsey and Wilshere together again. Poop.

Dan the Arsenal Fan

3 points and 0 injuries.. Want both but not sure which I want more.

master floda

I think AW should stop trying to fit Wilshere and Ramsey into the same team. It won’t work, they are too similar and like to occupy the same spaces on the pitch. It’s a bit like Gerrard and Lampard for England a few years ago… Maybe it’s a bit too early to write it off, because over the last seasons we hardly had both players fit and in form. And yes, they are our British core around which we build our team in the future and so on. But changing our whole style of play or limiting the effectiveness of… Read more »

Forfuckssake

FFS late coming back home from work and have to watch game in a pub otherwise will miss first half hour. Problem is Im in effing Northampton and guaranteed pubs showing frigging Scoucers game.

Rich

I shit my pants every time I see Podolski in our first 11, I have no idea why he’s still at the club, if your best reason for starting him is a tweet you liked, then your name might be Arsene Wenger?

SoqedHozi

With Özil unavailable now would seem to be a good time to try the narrow diamond 4-4-2, surely?

Samuel Akinsola Adebosin.

I think our center-back cover might have been secured if the boss likes him. I am saying this on the background of not every player that is rooting for Arsenal will be eventually be signed by the boss. Remy did, but he was ignored. The big question now is, will Arsenal also ignore the £7m rated Stuttgart centre-back Antonio Rudiger? Who has been reported to preferred Arsenal over Chelsea. This is just like a God’s gift to Arsenal. Courtesy: CaughtOffside

Possession

Thought we all retired at 65 ?

Henry

Diabolical first half as usual , for a manger who say he is hungrier than ever for success he seems clueless.

Henry

The annoying part is he will just send the same lot out with the same instructions and expect a different outcome

wilcunt

With Wilshire Arsenal won’t win big matches.

Andy Mackenzie

Days, days, days! Our Defence is all over the place once again! Flamini and Chambers should of defended better for the goal. We’re not going to win games with our Defence so weakened like this.

Andy Mackenzie

Arsenal were absolutely lame and lifeless tonight and got away with it. Where we found the extra mile from I’ll never know, but WOW! Am I relieved that we did. COYG

Alexstratz

Arsenal is bad for my heath.

Henry! Chance!! Goal!!!

The old smash and grab tactics. Works every time

kebabsmasher

Happy?? LUCKY birthday wenger. Cards nearly in the post!
