What other team in the league has 3 players who play in one position all injured?
It's not about depth it's bad luck.

Four, Welbeck as well.

 

[TheGlitch]

I read somewhere Gibbs could do a job on LW, Alexis to move to RW ?
****ing hell, no please...

I would like to see alexis right wing but not to see gibs lw. **** no!

 

[rich 1990]

Gabriel can play at left back apparently. Put him there and push Monreal up and switch Alexis. If that don't work, drop Monreal back, switch Gabriel to the middle, Kos in midfield and Cazorla to the right.

See, I've got a plan a and a plan b, what more do you ****ing want?

 

[StoppageTime]

If he ever gets a run of games, can see Campbell proving alot of people wrong tbh ala Monreal. Big if though

Hilaribad....

Side note, what's the 6.51/10 underneath your avatar fabo?

6.51/10 is a footballing matserclass.

Ex: Arsenal vs Barcelona Second leg in 2010
Messi's 4 goal display was a 6.51 performance. Its quite the honor.

CR7 actually ranked his biggest achievements in football and receiving a 6.51 from Fabo was top, just edging out winning the Ballon d'Or. It was a insightful interview; You can read it in the Chilean paper La Tercera.

 

[rich 1990]

Messi's 4 goal performance is massively over rated. Check out the team we had playing ffs

I'd barely give it a 2.

 

[africe]

Scenes when Campbell scores a hat trick and @Jury hands out 2,000 'I told you so's'.

Swansea 2-3 Arsenal

Özil OG........Campbell
Özil OG........Campbell
.....................Campbell

Can see it now.

Ok fine. 6.51/10 = Jeff in the Emirates Cup.

In fact I remember @fabo's post match reply. Short and simple it was.

Recon we're dropping points here.

 

[haha_arsenal]

I think we won at their place two seasons ago, no?

IIRC they were the only team to do a double against us last season.

In our last 10 matches against them; we have won four, lost four, drew two and the aggregate score is 13-13.

No offense to Swansea but against a club newly promoted 2 seasons ago, we managed to win once and it was a gift from Vorm, their goalie.
The last 3 matches we had 1 point from them.

 

[morpho]

Hate to sound pessimistic, but were bound to loose this. Its written in the stars.

 

[redwhiteAustrian]

We'll win, Swansea aren't that great at the moment, and Wenger will set us up to soak up pressure and give them the ball. We won't act like last season.

 

[Gooner Zig]

I'd be pretty confident if we had Theo at CF for this - typical match for him.

Rapt if we can get 3 points for this one however I'm feeling a little uneasy.

well don't!

 

[ScotVieira]

Swansea is one team I like but I hate it when we play them in recent times. They seem to be out-performing us.

I'm not too confident.

 

[Plutarch]

These injuries during the week have cast me into pessimistic gloom. I'd have been confident about winning if not for them, now I'm not so confident. However, Swansea this season have really not been as good as last season, so perhaps we'll beat them with out depleted squad.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

We're flying in the league and will want to bounce back from the COC game. Swansea are in big trouble I reckon.





*disclaimer: reckonings are always hit and miss.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

And really we are only missing Ox from the team that played Everton. Theo didn't even see the field that day. And Ox only played properly in the second half.

 

[ScotVieira]

Theo gives us something unique though. We might need that in the coming weeks.

 

[redanddread]

The injuries have put most of us into a funk but even with Theo, Ramsey & The OX this would be a hard match. Swansea will be up for this game without a doubt but we have the necessary firepower & quality to grab all 3 pts. The only thing is that we have ZERO fire power on the bench. If we need to change up things and try and grab a goal, Iwobi will have to be the messiah.

So lets nick a goal (or two) and then defend the **** out of the game and head back East with all the points. Score 1st and then hit them on the break a la against Bayern for a victory sealing 2nd.
