healing break??

[gunnertilldeath]

i was talking to a friend of mine and he said he thought Arsène should inject some more youth in the starting lineup to help with the hangover from the loss to manure. its still haunting the team he said. i am not so sure about it but he is. suggested this for a starting lineup:

lehmann

cole toure senderos lauren

reyes vieira flamini pennant

RVP HENry

that is too much of an overhaul for my tastes but he seemed pretty convinced. am i alone?? i think one or two changes in the starting lineup is fine but senderos is too inexperienced (even though he played well against everton) and ljungberg has been too full of running and has been one of the few livewires in the squad. it would be unfair to drop him. RVP has definitely made a strong case and i would not mind seeing him start but i really dont think we should over-react here. these are proven performers who have just come off the longest unbeaten streak in the history of the english top flight. a few draws and they are all of a sudden crap?? i dont think so. faith in these players is key to reviving them. but i might be wrong. maybe the confidence in the dressing room needs to be raised buy players who were not integral to the unbeaten run and who in turn are not too hurt by its ending. their confidence surely has been heightened by the recent carling cup wins against premiership opposition and this might be key to helping the club out of the slump. i think the fact that we are playing against tottenscum is enough motivation to pick up the stars. what do u guys think??

I feel that it won't hurt Wenger to insert some young players to replace some of our starting 11. Play them in the EPL, while saving the starting 11 for the CL.

I think Hoyte and Lauren are interchangable. So are Ljungberg and Pennant. Flamini and Fabregas can rotate to partner Vieira now, (Because Edu and Gilberto are hurt). Clichy and Cole have interchanged more than once. And as for RVP, he can be interchanged with either Reyes or Pires.

Hoyte, Clichy, Pennant, Fabregas, and RVP should get more playing time. When the FA Cup comes around, you'll probably see them in those games too because of the huge fixture congestion. (Assuming we get to the knockout stages of the CL). Wenger should use these 5 players more as of right now......but I don't know if that will happen to the extent that we would all like.

Pretty strong bench except for Cygan. Hoyte's better.

 

[malagar]

I think that Almunia should get more first team outings too. The poor guy is rotting in the reserves. He deserves a chance to show himself and porve his worth in tougher games

 

[WelshGooner10]

not sure senderos is ready

 

[gunnertilldeath]

LOL pretty f*d up team. Any chance you have had a few.

any chance you read the entire post?? its not my team

Clichy will have a better chance of more playing time when he isn't injured.

Personally, I wouldn't make too many changes for Sp**s, but Arsène must be tempted to throw Robin and Jermaine in for Dennis and Freddy.
