No Wilshere, debuchy, diaby or arteta
Didn’t see him playing that card. It’s a bold move.
In as much as I would love to see them play, I think its best we rest them for the rest of the season except we have any injuries. It wouldn’t be wise to tinker with the momentum of the team now. Not in the BPL and certainly not in the FA Cup.
Last night I actually had a dream that Diaby got the start and played the full 90 without issue. He didn’t do anything noteworthy, but he played the full 90! The stuff of dreams!
COYG…
Great team, looking forward to the game now.
That’s a strong XI and some solid options from the bench, no need to call on the returning quartet just yet. I wonder, with usually a weeks rest between our remaining fixtures, is this THE XI that Arsene has decided on?
The Ox might have something to say about that if he comes back soon 🙂
I hope there would not be a complacency because the starting XI are not only fighting against the opponents but also the guys on the bench.
There is increased competition in the team. So there should not be any more Monaco (1st leg) type performance. It would also make us more ruthless…I hope.
No Gabriel? Is he injured? COYG!
Sick apparently
Pretty amazing that Ramsey can’t even get a game in his preferred CM position because Cazorla’s having such a monster season. Imagine that a year ago!
Here’s to an easy, stress-free 3 points!
Happy with no changes, this is our “first team” imo COYG!
I don’t mean to tempt fate but have a look at their team lineup!
“Who are ya?”
COYG!
There are some good players in there.
Never understimate an opponent, specially one who has caused some upsets to team in the top positions
Told you! xxx
and whilst you’re listening…we will win all of our remaining games!
Where is Gabriel?? Alas, we knew someone had to get injured with all these other players coming back. Guess Gabriel has now truly become an Arsenal player.
It’s like watching last week’s game again this week, but with a different opponent. Let’s keep the momentum up and continue from where we left of against Liverpool! Great time to be a Gooner!
More of the same. 3 points please! COYG!!!
Burnley, not a lot of technical flair in that team, but they work so very, very hard for each other. I expect a tough game, but our class will out.
Giroud to continue his fine run.
Wenger is a genius i deciding whom to pick. I can’t even see any complaint from any angle. It is now a privilege to play for Arsenal and not a right.
szczesny and walcott sitting right next to each other on the bench – large gap between them and the rest of the squad. There’s something in that.
