Team Selection​

Team selection has been so obvious as of late because of all our injuries, but this is actually a challenge now! Thank goodness... only injuries to report now include Wilshere and Cazorla, with Welbeck fit but not ready. We want a strong team here, this is going to be by no means an easy game. I'm thinking:

Cech
Bellerin-Mertesacker-Gabriel-Monreal
Coquelin-Ramsey
Campbell-Özil-Alexis
Giroud
​

Koscielny has been out of form, and needs a rest anyways. The rest is rather standard, maybe a bit weak to Shane Long at the back but hopefully Wenger learned that we musn't play a high line if he makes an appearance.

Prediction​

We need a win, and thus I'll predict one. I said in the pep talk we would smash them, but realistically a win would be close, maybe 2-1.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

This is very important game they getting into good form too thankfully we get coq Alexis back. A must win game this!

Cech
Bellerin kosh Mertesacker Don Nacho
Coq Ramsey
Joel Özil Alexis
Walcott

 

[Jury]

thread creator on a role and a high after 1 win on the bounce!

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

We are going to dominate this game and win 5-0. Giroud with 10 goals.

 

[MutableEarth]

I'd have Coq & Ramsey start. If Elneny found Burnley physical, he'd have problems up against Wanyama & co.

 

[Rainbow Dash]

Don't care who plays, smash em, I want revenge on koeman and his smug, oh so punchable mug!....

Not going to be easy.

 

[SuperGoon]

Anything less than 3-0 is insulting given the humiliation we suffered on the 26th.

 

[A_G]

Lee Mason is the ref for this one.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

****. Mason is pure garbage. Bald ref theory is so strong.

 

[redwhiteAustrian]

Not overly optimistic for this. They have our number and the psychological edge too after that 4-0 rout.

Alexis, save us.

 

[Rimaal]

Hand over heart, I'm petrified of this tie. PTSD

 

[nmn]

How can you be nervous about this one? the 4-0 was a completely different story. This one is a home game with Sanchez and Coquelin back. Plus, there is that nanny bloke firing on all cylinders.

Such a ginger c.unt!
Still not fully over that PSV knock-out in 2007, either.

 

[bingobob]

Iirc the Southampton game we won was with them down to ten in with a player of injured near the end of the game.

Koeman knows how to play against us time for us not to be predictable....

@Aevius lol as long as we win I won't be crying but we have a massive obstacle in my favourite CM.

 

[fabo]

Especially with Wanyama's propensity to make dangerous tackles and get away with repeated fouling.

 

[turkish gooner]

really crucial game. must win this one or forget the league title

I know, just had to add that in

No offense intended.

None caused. I should have my wee tag line as Wanyama for Arsenal.

 

[nicky47]

Absolute must we win and get back on the horse for the Premier League race. Unfortunately we crumble against Southampton, but luckily our team is finally looking strong again, so should be an interesting game this...
