[Henry's Girl]

I'm blaming Cygan if baby Ash doesnt play, he kicked the ball to his stomach

 

[USArsenal]

how does kicking a ball into someones stomach and a calf strain have anything to do with each other? lol

must be the Rivaldo effect (hit in the knee and your face gets hurt)

not talking about his calf injury, I'm just gonna blame him if he doesnt play

 

[USArsenal]

LOL, ok... whatever you say hg.. ;D

 

[AFCG7]

Change of tactics maybe :

-----------------Lehmann

Lauren----Toure----Cygan----Cole

---------------Gilberto---------------

Pennant--Pires--Van Persie

----------Bergkamp--Reyes

I really cant see wenger playing with 3 attacking midfielders - especially not against manchester united.

According to ajax, the trabelsi deal will finally be COMPLETED today - the link is in the rumours section - so i reckon Arsène will play trabelsi at right back if we finally do get him - and then have Lauren partnering gilberto in central midfield to see how that goes.

God i hope he signs today !

 

[Gator]

Well he's got about 10 minutes :wink:

 

[Alexone234]

I think I deserve a place in the team.

 

[lee1001]

United could field a very strong side. Do you think they will rest players for the European game? Otherwise a team of ..

Howard
Neville Brown Silvestra O'shea
Fletcher Keane Scholes Giggs
Smith Saha

Is going to be tough to beat especialy as we are missing the spine of our team and playing a lot of youngsters.

 

[USArsenal]

scholes & fletcher may or may not play (lack of match fitness)... with their CL qualifier 3 days after, cant see them playing all their big guns....

 

[Gazza Martinez]

I think Saha is out with an achilles problem, though.

 

[USArsenal]

havent heard that one..... they dont have any strikers left besides Saha & Smith

 

[quattro]

^ what about david "the next henry" bellion? :angel

 

[tcs]

Mu got so called "next henry", chelsea got "new henry" :roll:

 

[calvinngai88]

I don't think ManU would be playing Smith, because RVN's out for a month, Solksjaer's also out. Maybe a Saha-Bellion partnership up front, since Sunday is Saha's 26th birthday.

My guess for Arsenal's midfield : Pennant-Gilberto-Pires-RVP

That doesn't mean Pires would have a lot of defending to do. The more Arsenal's offensive, the less defending duties.

 

[GoonerGurjit]

I don't understand why Cesc isn't in the squad. This would have been an excellent opportunity to gain some experience playing against a big side in a relatively low pressure environment.

If flamini, vieira, edu are all out, who the **** will play centre mid? used to be romford ray. Suppose pires and van persie wil come in on the left. Look forward to seeing reyes, RVP, pennant all playing. Also i would actually give cesc a good bit of game time. This is the perfect situation to see how ready he actually is. Also senderos should get a chance ahead of cygan.
