EPL: WBA vs Arsenal - SAT 21st NOV - 15:00

Would be nice if Arsène could bring us some good news in 20 minutes.

He didn't, Ramsey and Ox still out. This is going to be a very though match then...

I think @bojed might be onto something, solely on the fact of the thread title being in caps.

I have come to appreciate Ramsey on the wing greatly, moves towards middle with great link up play and covers for Bellerin's attacking ventures well. He isn't really a winger even though our lineup says he is... a myth, he's a free roamer. Just hope he starts slotting away his shots.

I think you don't give him enough credit there, though many would agree his place is as a pure midfielder.

That's right. Ramsey only appears on the wing in the team sheet, he will be tugged a bit inside to let Bellerin attack on the side.

Also agree with earlier posts on this page that whether or not we should start Ramsey or let him come in in the last 20 minutes.

Pulis's team at home won't be a pushover. And next week's CL match will also be in the players' mind. Predict a narrow victory but won't be surprised if we drop point(s) here.

So no Ox or Ramsey well that great are we gonna play a half fit Alexis and Joel again? thanks god Bellerin is back.

 

[Jasard]

Another 90 minutes for Alexis then, god dammit...

 

[Aevi]

Play Iwobi over Alexis, he's got something to prove and would be more than happy to have a chance at shining. Alexis on as late sub.

 

[MaraDon]

play gibbs.

According to Wenger Kos is still in a emotional state and therefore perhaps not 100% ready for the game. We'll have to wait and see. No Kos in the defense has been proven to be a bit risky, so fingers crossed he's getting ready!

But then again you can't blame Kos for anything, and we're just gonna have to be patient.

Hm, even tough Alexis would need a rest, I'd rather rest him against Dinamo Zagreb to be honest.

we have Gabriel, Kosh can take his time it won't take that long

 

[Highbury Rock City]

Absolutely, but Per and Gabriel haven't been too convincing so far. But then again it's WBA, it shouldn't be that much of a hustle. Pulis orchs do not scare us!!!

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Good news on Hector. I was fightened his injury was going to turn into a "he is two more weeks away" one aka surgery. I was positive Ox was gonna make this game, Ramsey too- I wonder how much longer they'll be out for?

I know Theo was supposed to be out for longer but we need him back too. Luckily our next three league games are extremely winnable, even with a depleted team.

Thinking about it, we did really well to get a point against Tottenham.

 

[say yes]

Of course Ox and Ramsey aren't back.

Cech
Bellerin - Merte - Gabriel - Monreal
Cazorla - Coq
Campbell - Özil - Sanchez
Giroud

It's gonna be a nervy one. My route to a stomach ulcer this season is in good form.

What happened to Kos?

Kos will be fine.

You can tell he was affected against England though.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Not optimistic about this one.

You don't win the title if you can't beat West Brom after the international break.

This is one of those big tests, we already failed the ones against Chelsea and Sp**s - Chelsea was a test against a struggling big rival, and Sp**s was the 'win takes us top' test.

West Brom is the "tough game after international break" test.

 

[Rimaal]

Kos will be fine.

It was obvious the whole french squad was affected, unsurprisingly. They could barely put up a performance.
