Just what i thought. They were good enough to be on the bench on Sunday, so what have they done since then that's resulted in them getting injured?!
Pretty sure neither was on the bench on sunday.
Kos definitely was, i'm not certain about RvP off the top of my head...
RvP was not on the bench sunday but koscielny was.

Just as well we rested kos on sunday v orient wasnt it ? :roll:

This shows up the fallacy of wenger's policy of resting players......players can and will get injured in training sessions as well so unless you sith them down altiogether they may as well play

It could be worse but not much with SS18 :shock: .But it could have been Szczesny :oops:

Once again we go back to Wenger not signing a CB in the window

Every fucking time Van Persie hits a run of goals his chocolate legs come back to haunt him :banghead:

We havent got the quality back ups to do this though and how many examples do we need to show it ? When you lose kos for whatever reason and you end up playing squillachi then you are inviting trouble

When you lose your main striker and your back up options are either bendtner or a badly out of form chamakh then you could be in real danger :worried:

If what you're saying's true then I completely disagree with what Wenger's doing. The league should be our main priority and he should play our best available team in every game.

2 things

first I hope you're right and he's resting them not as I fear our usual spring time collapse starting already.

If you are right :x WTF,

I thought AW was the one that said he wants to keep a winning momentum, how the hell do you do that by resting the hottest striker in Europe this year...( I checked and yes I'm sad :oops: )

Second thing is if he'd reinforced the defence in January like he said he would, we wouldn't need to rely on a child or the worst defender in Europe(don't need to check, I just can't imagine anyone is as clueless as this c**t)

If he was going to do that he would just bench them.....or has he really gone mad?
Hasn't Kos been suffering with a small back issue for a while? Surely the last thing he'd need would be to deal with a long ball team.

I want to win a Cup. The league is important but would I take a draw vs Stoke and a Carling Cup win over a win against Stoke and a lost Carling Cup Final?

I know which I'd choose.

BTW - just take a look at The Oatcake Forum. They are obsessed with us and I'm sure Stoke will be out to maim and injure our players for the final. They are that low.

I just did. :coffeespit:
Squillaci is a good centre half.
It is Koscielny who is an absoulte liabilty. Him and Djourou look very suspect at times, it's just a shame that they won't be fully tested by Fuller and Carew
:shock:
:coffeespit:
