Didn´t realize we didn´t have this thread. Making a thread only one day before kick off is quite a rarity.

Silvestre, Diaby and Nasri still injured, right? Remember Wenger saying, don´t know if he (Silver) is back for Blackburn but if he is not he will surely be ok for the Dynamo game. Surprised? Don´t think so...

Wenger's also said there will be some rotation due to the physical demands of the last two games. Bendtner starting i think is pretty much certain.

Re: Bolton v Arsenal Premiership 20/09/2008 17:30

Indeed Tomas, those three are out:

According to Wenger Nasri and Silvestre are expected back for Hull (Sept. 27); Diaby another two weeks until he's fit.

Actually that´s not funny at all you tool !

Re: Bolton v Arsenal Premiership 20/09/2008 17:30

Bolton will likely be missing Matthew Taylor and their record (I think) signing Johan Elmander.

Anyone think Theo will get a rest on the bench for this one with Eboue to start?

 

[TomasCR]

Re: Bolton v Arsenal Premiership 20/09/2008 17:30

So we could see...

--------------Alm-----------------
Sagna---Gallas---Toure---Clichy-
Eboue----Fabregas---Song---Denilson
------Bendtner-----Adebayor--------

Not so sure about Toure (maybe Djourou) and don´t know if Wenger is "brave" enough to put Vela next to Bendtner. RvP and maybe Walcott will get some rest. Would like to see Wilshere and surely Vela in this game. Any win will be good.

Yeah I think we might even see Eboue and Vela on the wings. Wenger said he'd rest players and Theo's played quite a bit.

I reckon ven Persie could br dropped for Nik too.

............. Almunia ..............

Sagna .... gallas ...... Toure .... Clichy


Eboue .......Fab ........Denilson ...... Vela

...............Adebayor .... Bendtner....

Thats my guess.

Re: Bolton v Arsenal Premiership 20/09/2008 17:30

RVP and Ade each had 2 clear chances could easily have been 4-0 before Kiev scored. Unfortunately they both were wasteful. The reason I feel RVP and Ade can be one of the most feared strikers in the world is that we rarely see both of them wasteful at the same time. When both are clinical these two can easily score each a brace in any given match. It is rediculours how many shots they had as many games this season. Its is only a matter of time they both become clinical at the same time and you will realise they are as most fearful strikers in the world. Now Walcott is added to the mix while Nasri comming soon boy I can't wait for a bigger match like ManUtd at home. Bolton should be a thrashing just like Blackburn, more exciting match should be C.C. fianlly at home.

Re: Bolton v Arsenal Premiership 20/09/2008 17:30

One win plix Mr. Wenger.

I'd like to see the team put the frustration of Kiev behind them for this one and just play to enjoy it.

Hope we'll see the line-ups posted. Can't wait for vela to start.

By the way anyone know who the ref will be (lost my link to ref-appointments, anyone know a good site for that? )?

So Sicknote isnt back yet? What a bloody surprise.

Re: Bolton v Arsenal Premiership 20/09/2008 17:30

............. Almunia ..............

Sagna .... gallas ...... Touré .... Clichy


Eboue .......Fab ........Denilson ...... Vela

...............Adebayor .... Bendtner....

Thats my guess.

I think that's pretty much the side we'll see. Only question mark would be whether Vela or Song start, with Denilson perhaps playing left mid. I would like to see that side.

Re: Bolton v Arsenal Premiership 20/09/2008 17:30

Finally, a game I can watch in peace and quite. This would be an easy game except we're missing half the team again, I'm not sure why I still get worked up about our players being injured anymore since it happens every freaking year. Nasri, Rosissy, Silvie, Diaby etc...WTF?

I think Walcott will be rested so I have no idea who's playing on the left side, Vela? Wilshere? Might even see RvP on the left with Bendy and Ade up front This should be a close game, I don't think we'll blow them out. I expect a tight first half with us scoring 1 or 2 in the second half.

Which one, we got a few?

Rozzer is never coming back, he's a full time patient. I think he only joined Arsenal for the excellent medical plan.

Hopefully, another 4-0 win away from home.

I bloody hope Ade gets another hat-trick.
