Would play Giroud here and keep Theo fresh for next weekend.

 

[RandyMarsh]

On the fence whether it should be Theo or Giroud for this one. Want Theo to be fresh for next w.e but also want him to get as many games as possible to get his scoring touch back..

Cech
Bellerin Gab Kos Monreal
Ramsey Coquelin
Ox Özil Alexis
Theo

I'll go with Theo

 

[GDeep™]

So the people wanting Theo to start this, will play Giroud against Chelsea?

Can't play Theo 3 times in one week, travelling to Zagreb too.

Yeah probably makes sense to rest Theo for this one actually. But tbf there's plenty of other players who will play 3 times over the next week. I'm sure Theo could handle it but I wouldn't be against resting him at all.

Yea think we should rotate here to rest Theo. Then again maybe Theo needs match practise to get sharp?

 

[David Smith]

It sucks how we go to Croatia on Wednesday and then got a 12:45pm kick off on Saturday at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea are at home to an even weaker team on Wednesday. This could have a big effect.

 

[Vinci]

Think it's more important that Theo can continue his goalscoring than getting a rest. He only plays for 75 minutes most games anyway.

 

[David Smith]

I don't know how good Zagreb are but regardless of it we need a win here. We have Bayern in our group. It's important to get off to a good start, I say play our strongest team.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Walcott on his way to 100 goals club.

Giroud with his usual strong responds after months of doing nothing.

Who to play... Who to play!

 

[Tir Na Nog]

I would start Theo but GDeep makes a good point. Anyways the other 10 players remains the same for me, possibly Ox forcing his way in but Wenger won't change a winning team too much.

 

[Gooner n Proud]

Cech
Bellerin Koscielny Gabriel Gibbs
Chamberlain Arteta Coquelin Özil
Cazorla
Giroud

I think this side has a very good balance capable of getting a result in Croatia and rests a couple of players for Chelsea next week.

I just don't like Cazorla in the Cm position, as soon as Arteta came on today Santi moved in the No.10 hole and looked great.

 

[Proof]

Play the best possible team and start the UCL campaign with a positive result to keep the momentum going into Saturday's important match against Chelsea.

I want to see more from Walcott in the ST postion (confidence is critical for a striker) even if I'm not sold on him in that spot. This season is going to be a toss-up between him and Giroud.

------Joel---Giroud---Ox
----------------Cazorla
----------Ramsey---Arteta
Gibbs-Gabriel-Koscienly-Debuchy
---------------Cech

More than enough to win.

More than enough to win.

I don't think Sanchez and Özil will be dropped for this. I think we'll play the same team as today. Per might come in for Gabby, and Giroud for Theo. Other than that, it's pretty much the same.

 

[Bould14]

Play Theo 60 minutes This is a must win game for us. We must be sharp for Chelsea, and be the final nail in the coffin of their top 4 hopes.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

it's will be the same line up who played today the only change could be Giroud for Theo. i have Zero knowledge about Dinamo Zagreb team. but in away game and we should take it very seriously.

 

[Trilly]

We should make some changes that won't affect the team as a whole. I reckon Sanchez could do with a rest as well as Theo and Bellerin.

We could potentially play Cazorla at AM and move Ramsey to CM if we wanted to rest Özil.

 

[AVENTUS]

Crazy.

We've played what 5 games and already people are talking about resting players what the he'll do we pay them for.?

They play simple as that don't rest anybody not even Sanchez were away to Zagreb not at home they'll give us a game no doubt about that win here is crucial.
