Imo m8.
Can't see Fabianski being handed a starting spot after today.

Love the top two posts on this page. In response to the 'Who's gonna play in goal then' question, somebody responds:
"Gunnersaurus".
The next post, completely unrelated:
"We're stuffed then".

I hope Almunia gets the nod, he's better than Flappy and I'm not sure giving a teenager in Szczesny, his PL debut at Anfield is the best idea.

If Flappy starts next sunday than Wenger's comments to the press are not valid anymore..

I agree, but still he's far better.

So the teams likely to be:
Almunia, Sagna, Vermaelen Koscielny, Clichy, Nasri, Frimpong?, Wilshere/ Walcott?, Rosicky, Arshavin, Chamakh.
We could end up with a complete reverse of last seasons opener.

I think Eboue might just have played his way into the team ahead of Rosicky. Also, Flappy has surely played his way OUT of the team, and left a clear run for Almunia to start his 3rd (or 4th?
) season as number 1.
So....
Almunia (by default)
Sagna
Koscielny (Djourou must be scratching his head!)
Vermaelen
Clichy
Wilshere/Frimpong (tough call - Frimpongs defending, or Wilshere's overall quality?)
Song (if he's even half fit, he has to play!)
Nasri
Eboue
Chamakh
Arshavin

Fab and RVP aren't officially ruled out so I expect them both to start.

Didn't Arsene say they both won't be in the squad?

If Fabregas is in Mexico on Wednesday night, there's no chance he'll be playing on Sunday.
Or anytime before October, probably. Bring Back Pires knows.
