Injuries

Ospina - last seen in ospital

very good but it is unreal how we have these injuries.

Wenger on Ospina: "I had to bring him on against Galatasaray without warm-up, without being prepared & he had a recurrence of that injury"
6:50pm - 21 Oct 14

I might be missing something but it seems to me that the only time you're going to bring a goalkeeper on is at a moments notice because of a red card/injury. Surely it makes sense to keep the reserve keeper ticking over in terms of being warmed up throughout the game?

100% spot on.

in fact some forward thinking clubs actually have exercise bikes on the touchline for subs to keep their limbs loose during the game after they have done their pre-match warm up.

wenger is senile. has to be. as is Keswick.

Wondered why Ajayi was sub and not Hayden versus Hull, now I know why.

10 on the list now.



-----------------------Ospina-----------------------

Debuchy------Diaby---------Koscielny---------Hayden


-------Gnabry------------Miyaichi---------------

--------------------------Ozil----------------

------------------Giroud------Sanogo--------

Quartz, Miyachi is on loan at the moment, and played last weekend (till a gust of wind blew him over ), however Coquelin can come in to rescue the team spirit, and Theo is sort of half in half out, a virtual promise away from being fit "by August" as per Pravda.

Its SO SO beyond a joke its hard to know if to laugh or cry

Did not know Miyaichi had been loaned out, thanks.

Senile no.

But still suffering from the effects of overwork after Dein left?
I think so.

Sir Chips has nothing to say about this.

Me neither till Sunday Im unsure he has a future for us unless he bulks up a lot

Might as well let him take the rest of the fucking year off. Won't make a jot of difference to the bottom line - a bumholing awaits shortly after Christmas in CL and we will limp to another 3rd/4th placed finish 15-20 points off the winners.

The way we play now I wouldn't be surprised if we don't make the top 4 this season.

Look how shit the other top 4 contenders are. Everton, Spurs, Liverpool and United. They are all *****. The reality is we are good enough compared to them to turn up for a third of the season and scrape enough points in the remaining games to finish 3rd or 4th with consummate ease. No doubt we'll make it seem in doubt at a few points, we wouldn't be able to celebrate it as an achievement otherwise. Last year was the first year in a while that finishing fourth didn't impress people because of how we started. If we play shit until March like the two seasons prior to that then all of a sudden it becomes noteworthy again.

I know it's stupid to laugh ones injury but this whole situation is laughable. No confirmation to this one yet, but still...

We have a thread on injuries , but Abou Diaby has a thread of his own..never has there been such respect shown to one man.
