Where’s Szcz tonight?

MT

And Monreal also?

LKoscielny6

He has a cold apparently

David

Smoking

TruthHurts

What`s all the hate for Szczesny? As much as I would love for him as well as Ozil, Wilshere and anyone else at the club that smokes to quit for fitness benefits so they could perform at their ultimate best, there`s no need to keep mentioning things from months ago…

Ultimate Gooner

Hes crap and will be sold

Funky Gooner

Great team as always, now let’s do the business and smash QPR…, COYG!!!!

Sheffield Goon

You’re right, it’s a great team, and what a bench too. And there are still a few not even in the squad. Healthy times indeed.

LKoscielny6

Our coq is a hardy bastard! For god sake this was the perfect oppurtunity to give Alexis the rest he needs. Good to see rosicky starting though, coyg!

David C

I think Wenger feels Alexis needs a goal and this might be a good opportunity. I agree with you and I’m sure we’ll see Walcott/Welbeck on for Alexis in the 60-70 min region.

Third Plebeian

Monreal must be carrying an injury? Szczesny?

Can’t wait to see Coquelin’s mask! Hannibal Lecter anyone?

Ooziilll

something wrong with kos???

Daniella No. 9

Nothing wrong with Kos. Gabriel has, rather quickly, shown himself to be of comparable quality. Wenger finally feels safe giving Mertescielny a rest.

sauce

Szcz is having a Szczmoke..

Wenger's zipper

Decent team but not enough pace upfront. Should be enough to do the job though! COYG

tagar

Well, what happened to Monreal? He was in such a fine form and I don’t recall any injury news about him.

La défense

What’s happened to Monreal??

Gooneron

COYG

goonero

Not sure why gibbs is starting ahead of monreal last couple games, monreal doesn’t deserve it and gibbs performances haven’t earned it.

Vonnie

Monreal has a slight back strain so isn’t available.

Dara

Having Rosicky in the team assures me

Luka

Strange not to see anyone from the trio Welbeck, Walcott and Ox in the starting 11 since Ozil, Cazorla and Alexis could all do with a rest.

DFS

Yeah, this team seems quite odd to me when a number of players could do with a break.

I see some here are bigging up QPR but recent form says they should not be a threat. I think it says more about us than them.

Phoosy

Really wish Alexis would have gotten a rest for this one. Need him firing on all cylinders for the United game. Here’s hoping we can put the game to bed in the first half and bring Walcott/Welbeck on to give him a rest in the second half.

Ramsey for Rosicky in the second half is another guaranteed sub. COYG!

Daniella No. 9

Who else is stoked to see our Coq wearing a rubber (mask to protect his nose)?

Graham

Good looking bench.

Third Plebeian

You’re mistaken. Giroud is starting.

The gooner

Why is Koscielny dropped? Rosicky over Ramsey or even Walcott /Chambo out right? Gibbs over Monreal?

docciavelli

Probably lingering concerns about his lingering achilles problem which is lingering.

Perry S.

love the rotation of our back 4 but alexis really should have been rested. guess le prof is hoping for a first half demolition of QPR and then will relieve the front line thereafter.

bazza-wicks

tonights team is based on giving players a rest before monday nights FA cup and we should have enough quality to win this but our attitude has to be right from the start, QPR are a wounded animal and dangerous

Richie

No Szcz, no Debuchy, no Monreal, no Arteta, no Wilshere, no Flamini

Anyone else think we’ll have some serious trouble picking a squad of 18 when everyone is fit?!

Juxta Position

Where have you been for the past decade? We never have everyone fit

Dazz

Suprised Alexis didn’t get a rest tonight or at least benched and only brought on for emergencies. At least kos should be rested for the United game

David

Said if first here on Sunday and will say it again Walcott will not be an arsenal player next season.

Tazmanian Jesus

Is Szcz injured, or did he light one up in training this time?

dpro

Surprised to see (Thierry) Henry playing for them tonight.

santiago

I think walcott needed some minutes tonight,rosicky is there to give him a through ball,rosicky for Ozil or Alexis would have been better,anyway COYG.

Flam'in El

Is this on TV tonight?

DontForget

I’m not surprised Alexis is playing. Remember how hard Wenger says it was to drop him when he was hurt? If he’s fit, he’ll play. And rightly so IMO

Ice Weng

Why not give Walcott playing time? He really needs it.

Zenithreptile

Nobody saw that starting eleven happening at the front end of the season did they? looks good though

andre santos

its 1.15 in the morning over here. this better be worth it.
thought alexis couldve been given a rest with walcott and chamberlain playing on the wings. Oh well

Ciderman

Well that was a sheet first half!!!

Nacho de Montreal is tasty

Guys, Giroud does the job he is paid for. He doesn’t hide. He is one of the most valuable player in our squad. Eight goals in ten games !
