Arsenal pre-match thread

Gabriel has had his ban removed. Who will wind him up on Saturday then..

 

But he could be re-banned depending on the outcome of his hearing though?

Oh it will work, just keep making fun of him. If that fails get Ulloa in a Costa mask.

Is he any good? Maybe it's better him playing than the seasoned Mertesacker

Is the hearing going to be resolved before Friday?

In any case, I would expect only a warning. I mean if he got off for kicking out, how can they ban him for not actually touching anyone afterwards?

No idea, I just know they have until Thursday to respond to the charges.

Not sure on Benny, he was due a good performance like today after his poor previous ones but he seems a bit of a 'bombscare'.

After watching the West Ham game I would go with...

 

Kasper

 

De Laet

Huth

Morgan

Fuchs

 

Mahrez

King

Kante

Albrighton

 

Vardy

Ulloa

 

Harsh on Drinkwater I know.

Cazorla will be back for them on Saturday but it looks like Coquelin will miss the game due to injury. I really hope they start Arteta in the middle and persist with Ramsey on the wing (where he's almost useless).

We will most likely have about 35% possession but if they play Arteta & Santi together we have a great chance to overpower them in midfield.

I doubt we'll keep a clean sheet so I say 2-2.

Coquelin out is a big bonus for us. Without him if we get into them in the middle hopefully we'll disrupt their flow. Kante definitely needs to start but would keep the same line-up mostly, due to the 120 minutes played by many tonight. Hoping Okazaki finds some form - Ulloa as option from the bench.

 

XI: Kasper; RDL, Huth, Wes, Schlupp; Mahrez, Drinky, Kante, Albrighton; Okazaki, Vardy

 

Bench: Schwarzer, Fuchs, Benalouane, King, Inler, Dyer, Ulloa

After last week the scoreline 1-1 popped into  my head. I'll stick and take that as a result. Tonight (WHU)  shows that we can compete with the top hal as well as the bottom half teams even with  what effectively a second team. But as Ranaeri said after the Stoke we cannot keep coming from behind. Hopefully City will score first (Marhez) against Arsenal.

Anyone think this?

Schmeichel

RDL/Simpson

Benalouane

Huth

Fuchs

Mahrez

King

Kante

Drinkwater

Albrighton

Vardy

I like that, but he won't drop Wes unfortunately.

Would be tempted to drop Leo in as lone striker since he had the beating of a Arsenal last year, and Vards is a player who needs support.

Unless of course we let Andy King play his 2010/11 game.

Think we need to give Schlupp a rest. Honestly he was awful when he came on. Stick him on the bench and put Dyer or Albrighton LW, Fuchs LB.

Awful is a tad harsh - his end product hasnt been the best lately but his movement and involvement in all things positive was excellent as usual.
