Jack Wilshere's follow through on Patrice Evra last weekend means that he will be resting his body rather than playing the game which will have positives unless we fail to win the game. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Aaron Ramsey are both likely to be added to the squad following recent injury, so that is a bonus. An even bigger bonus for me is that Tomas Rosicky is back in training. If I was Santi Cazorla
Arsene admitted that Wilshere's suspension means that he is likely to play this match especially with the list of midfield injuries stacking on top of each other. I think Jack Wilshere or whoever is playing in that second midfield area needs to give more help to Mikel Arteta because his secret influence on our team is out there in the public. Chelsea and Manchester United have shown that restricting our
Something went wrong after the most recent international break and we came back out of sorts, but when you are playing every three days then it is hard to iron out your issues, those issues have to be resolved on the pitch. After the nightmare performance in Norwich we saw the hangover against Schalke and it was only against QPR that we saw anything like our game returning. Thankfully the league cup fixture at Reading meant that the madness of top flight football was thrust onto our current squad players and youngsters whilst the
Arsene Wenger always has that sparkle in his eyes when he speaks about Serge and he once again explained how he has all the tools to become a top class talent. The part I found interesting was when Arsene spoke about the possibility of Gnabry being able to play as a center forward. Interesting because I have been speaking about how I would love us to have a fast, technical, powerful shooter.
Jack Wilshere was supposed to take his place on the bench once again today and come on late in the second half but a double dose of jaded bad performances may have left the manager with not much choice. Our team needs fresh legs, needs a spark to get it started once again and the members of the midfield who can do that apart from Wilshere are all injured.
Schalke team that have just beaten the German Champions in Dortmund. That is the best preparation that a visiting team would need so if any Arsenal players were to even show a glimpse of complacency then I hope one of the coaching staff slaps that complacency out of
Jack Wilshere who will be taking his place amongst the substitutes but I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't feature in the game at all. Had the likes of Rosicky, Diaby and perhaps Coquelin been fit then i
Arsenal box whenever they had the ball. No beating around the bush, no mixing it up just *TWACK* get under the ball, poke your elbows out, give it up em because Arsenal don't like that sort of thing. On that particular day, we dealt with them fantastically well. Manuel Almunia was a solider. Yes, you heard that right. He came and caught everything,
Arsenal, if he was going to stay then he would have signed a new deal already. Theo Walcott already knows which club he wants to go to and how much they are willing to pay him. That is what his agent
Arsenal team, It may seem a little early to judge but it looks as if we have a squad of experienced players who are good enough to stand toe to toe against the leagues best. London Colny feels a little like a tube journey from Oxford Circus to Finsbury park in the middle of rush hour such is the abundance of players we have actually on the pitch rather than being shared by our treatment facilities.
