Scum Away 5th March 2016

[Blade]

Crazy! Elneny thrown in at deep end.

Never blooded him earlier.

Not Gibbs please..

[mcdowell42]

Kieran Gibbs starts for Arsenal, Monreal on bench.
Ospina; Bellerin, Per, Gabriel, Gibbs; Elneny, Coq; Ramsey, Ozil, Sanchez, Welbeck
11:49am - 5 Mar 16

More strange decisions from Wenger.

Understand with the tightening up in midfield with Coq and Eleny. But should of gone with Monreal and Campbell instead of Ramsey and Gibbs.

The defence once again is a big worry. I have no confidence in any of the back 5

AFC:- Ospina, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Gabriel, Gibbs, Coquelin, Elneny, Ramsey, Ozil, Sanchez, Welbeck....

[Nos89]

Thats a team with energy and makes sense having Welbeck starting. Ramsey on the right is a return to a successful formula. Elneny looked positive against Hull and offers us something different.
If it starts going wrong we've got 3 good attacking options from the bench.
Failing that Forest Green vs Grimsby is on the other BT sport channel.

So i was feeling slightly more confident when i woke up this morning, with the team news i'm hitting despair again

COYG

[Henry Norris 1913]

feel ill


our record there during wenger's reign is fucking shambolic. 4 league wins in 20 years. just hope we can make it 5

[Rosie_titters]

Come On. We are Arsenal. Let's get behind our team. You lot are already sounding defeated

[Chippy]

Just to re-iterate what DB10 said, no matter what happens keep it civil or there will be bans handed out. Also Chippy Jnr has come home for the weekend so I have the mother and father of all hangovers so will be slightly less tolerant than normal.

[casgooner]

Why is Monreal on the bench???

[Blade]

You lot are already sounding defeated

That's bcos we go thru this season after season..

Fatigue.

[SteveO 35]

Elneny and the Twirling Ballerina......who presumably now will be performing at his paceless worst out wide now.

My god, any last remaining hope I had has been just about sucked dry seeing that line up.....and nobody to hold the ball up, up front too. My god we're going to surrender a huge amount of possession today

[GoonerMuzz]

Out of interest i'd like to know what exactly Joel has to do to get a run of games at the moment, surely him on the right would have been better than Aaron, even if he only lasted 60mins

[Step]

Confirmation that Wenger is clueless.
Lets drop the man who played above all others on Wed (Campbell) and the most consistent of all our defenders (Monreal).

This side has no goals/pace in it.

We will be out of it by half time and then he will desperately bring on Walcott, Giroud and Campbell.

It is so predictable.

I cannot bear to watch and am going out until 2.45.
