Baggies away

[Chippy]

Another draw I reckon. Pubis knows how to play against Wenker.

[StuartL]

Its 2 weeks away..........a lot can happen in that time.

Hopefully Ramsey, Ox, Bellerin and Theo are back in the squad to freshen things up and at the very least give us some serious options from the bench. On the flip side Alexis who already looks cooked jets off to South America to play in a couple of WC qualifiers. Pray for a clear bill of health in 13 days time.

[Midz]

Until the Internationals are over we have no idea about injuries.

It's a matter of time before Sanchez breaks down with a really bad injury. The guy looks like he's got lead in his boots and whereas last season he was skipping past all and sundry for fun, he looks a yard slower at the moment and is losing the ball all the time.

Not really surprising given that he played the World Cup, was absolutely flogged every game last season and then played a full Copa America in the summer so has effectively had no break since 2013. And still he plays 90 minutes. Every game.

Yes this is what is affecting Alexis, all these long haul flights and Big international games, he needs a proper rest

I dont understand why we dont just say Sanchez isnt fit to travel, Im sure a lot of clubs would do that, SAF would surely never ever let Sanchez go in this situation.

[Robin_L]

Just need some players back to inject some freshness.

I'd go as far to say that Ozil (and Koscielny's defending) is carrying the team in the last few games, if he goes down injured I think we'd lose to anyone in the division at the moment.

Squad is too small. Wenger unwilling to operate with a massive squad, therefore he tries to reduce the injury count. Worked for a while but has now gone back to how it was before, leaves us with practically no chance of the title.

To be fair I don't think Sanchez is the kind of player who would happily accept being told that he shouldn't play for his country in a competitive game.

We are just going to have to bite the bullet and rest him on our watch.

Have to look at the balance of the squad and what we are doing wrong with these players to get injured so often.

Koscielny wasn't really in team carrying form on sunday.

[Henry Norris 1913]

baggies away, usually one of the better away days in the league season. pulis will have them playing tight, compact football, rondon the target man.

in uncharacteristic fashion, i will be very confident and predict a comfortable 2-0. both goals second half

[DB10GOONER]

0-2 to The Arse. Giroudzema and Ozil. But at some point for about 30 minutes the Baggies will have all 11 players camped in their box getting bored watching one of our 86-pass tippy tappy sessions slouch its sorry ass back and forth across the front of them.

Campbell will pick up a really stupid double yellow and take that early bath that is becoming more obvious a conclusion with every game he plays.

But still - a win's a win, bitches!

[LeftfootlegendGooner]

I'm in Mexico then so won't watch as last 7 games I have watched on holiday we have lost so don't do it now

I will either be on a beach, scuba diving, jet skiing or pleasuring the missus, in that order

3-0 to The Arsenal

[Herd]

By the time we play West Brom we could be fielding an acadamy side due to the pile up of injuries !
