Please Arsene, give Campbell and Podolski some minutes 🙁
Campbell isn’t on the bench.
It’s all over for Campbell.
cambell far more talent and quality replaced by sanogo arsen’s favorite player he thinks he can make another adebayor.
and if we lead comfortably in second half watch wenger giving sanogo minutes and replacing welbeck with him, cambell deserve much more than to see sanogo getting minutes instead of him, if he leaves i don’t blame him but it is not fair to him giving sanogo minutes and not him.
Joel Campbell leaving in January I see.
Looks that way
I thought this game would be the best game to give Rosicky and podolski some game time but I guess Arsene wants some continuity for the first time this season. (Injuries…. injuries…)
Good to see Ramsey back! Hope he put in a good all round performance tonight!!
Alexis to score first goal!!

I believe it is more important the team starts ticking and arsene wants to build that fluidity through these(easy) games,which we have lacked recently,rotation will come in the latter part of the season #trustinwenger
Shouldve started Poldi over Santi. FFS !!!!!!
I’m with you. (Watch Cazorla have the game of his life now.)
Podolski looked really hungry on Saturday. Imagine he’ll come on in the second half tonight.
I like Poldi better as an impact sub than as a starter, when he comes on late it’s like he’s trying to cram a whole game into 15 or 20 minutes. I’d like to see him come on earlier than against Burnley, though – somewhere around the 60-65 minute mark.
Good line-up, I like Ramsey and Arteta behind the main attack. Expecting great things from Ox and Sanchez, and with luck Santi will have found his shooting boots. Hope we thrash Anderlecht to build up confidence for the Dortmund match in three week’s time. Come on Arsenal!
Can’t really blame Campbell if he goes. The guy has spent the last few seasons on loan gaining experience, has a decent world cup and still finds himself below Sanogo in the pecking order.
Yeah but Sanogo had a decent FA Cup final. It’s all relative
COYG’s. 4-0 to the men in Red!
I guess he wants to win this game, qualify and then not worry about the champions league.
He better not be thinking that all the way in December. It’s time we win the group. COYG!
ROTATE
Well deserved rest for Wellbeck
are you blind ?
Arsene doesn’t have time for sentiment. He has a responsibility towards the team and club. He sees how everyone performs during training (unlike Harry Redknapp) and analyses everything before choosing his starting line up. How they perform on the day is ultimately out of his hands. He trusts them to do their best and would reserve judgement until after a few days after the match. Podolski has his hot and cold streaks. Scoring goals is great. Missile shots that come off the woodwork is impressive but without the other aspects of the game he is not as useful as the… Read more »
Comment:I’m predicting a blood bath here..
Should Sanchez be playing? A bit unsporting on poor old Anderlecht.
Strange how Wenger reasons really, Benefica had offered 9.5 million for Campbell but he turned it down yet he doesn’t play him.
Poldi to score
I knew it. Only 1 changes from Saturday. Expect this lineup too this weekend. Classic Wenger.
Time for me to take the helm, Wenger has lost it
