It's buried in this transfer market article, but how can Henry be rested? Who plays up front? Freddie or Bently with Bergkamp and who would be on the bench in case of something?

bergkamp will handle it. he'll do that wonder goal against leicester again ;D

 

[laolu]

bergkamp and pires

bergkamp and ljungberg if henry is out

 

[Mark]

bergkamp and ljungberg would work really well, hopefully henry will at least make the bench since bergkamp will lacking quite a bit of match practice.

Think Ljungberg will get thew nod, can see him feeding off Bergkamps through balls.

 

[mood]

Yeah.. a Bergkamp-Ljunberg partnership would be very successful in my opinion. I think we need to have Henry on the bench incase we need him. I certainly don't want Pires up front though, Ljunberg is more of a striker.

BLOODY HELL!!!! my first time to go to Highbury and Henry isnt playing FU****************************************K

 

[mood]

Well it's for the best! He really needs a rest.

 

[hesham]

rest him when we got to strikers at least!!!
greedy i know but i sooo wanna c him

 

[Feis-al]

I smell trouble if he isn't on the bench! :roll:

...this concern me a lot, hopefully he'll play in the Carling cup away at Boro instead. I really want us to win everything possible this year and that starts with two "must-wins" against Boro in the next couple of days!

We have two more games in the Carling Cup and should do everthing there is to win and get our first trophy of the season. It's as simple as that. If players need rest, wich I understand they do, AW must be brave enough to do so even ín the EPL as both Chelsea and ManUtd does.

As a club Arsenal has now reached the next level and should have players enough to rotate. AW talkes about this a lot but when it comes to selecting players for the next game we all can pick the starting XI if we know the injury situation. He seldom replaces Edu for Vieira even at home against Leicester if Vieira is fit enough to play for example...

...I can't really expect everyone to agree with me after the results we've had this season but it's about the only critisim I have against AW as a coach; he could be a bit braver in his selection of the team, especially against the so called weaker teams...

Is Bergkamp going to be fit? I reckon it will be Pires and Quincy. Boro are going to be really hard to beat even without Southgate and Cooper. We need that cutting edge in the final third.

Bergkamp is said to be fit enough, keep your fingers crossed...

Incidentally - Middlesborough are going to play a weakened line-up tomorrow. They're more focussed on the Carling Cup (which, let's face it, they have a decent chance in), and want everyone fit for Wednesday.

Hmm..yeah, didn't realise that. That'll be good. Hopefully Juninho in particular won't be playing.

Good point. The FA is a loss leader for them now.

Quincy??? Not after his performance on Tuesday, he was sh*te.

 

[GoonerGurjit]

Vieira says he's not worried by striker shortage...

With Bergkamp, Pires, Ljungberg, we'd still get two goals.
