Wigan vs Arsenal

Pepe LeFrits

Arsenal:

Fabianski
Sagna, Campbell, Silvestre, Clichy
Eastmond
Diaby, Nasri
Walcott, Bendtner, Rosicky

Subs: Van Persie, Vela, Mannone, Eboue, Traore, Merida, Henderson.

Interesting, no Almunia. Merida returns to the bench. Conor Henderson, a tall Irish CM makes the bench for the first time....

what's Conor Henderson like ?

everdead.ie

13:30 on sky sports one I think.
It'll be intresting to see which team turns up for Wigan and to see how McCarthy is progressing

Arsenal1986

Denilson injured?

Strange one alright, I like Eastmond - bundles and bundles of energy, reminds me a little of Flamini.

No almunia atleast gives Fab a chance to prove himself but i hope it dont mean wenger sees him as our long term no.1.

Interesting. Happy to see Eastmond get a start.

Pepe LeFrits

Me too. Though I would have preferred to see a CB blooded, I'll take a DM!

Campbell is captain.

Well our two main CB prospects are out on loan atm (Bartley+Nordtveit) so there wasn't many options there really.

Miquel or Hajrovic is about it I can think of?

Kirnsy

Interesting that Henderson is preferred to Coquelin who is highly regarded in the reserve side. Fingers crossed he'll prove his worth in the coming years.

Almunia not there and with the earlier quotes by Wenger, very very interesting..

Pepe LeFrits

I think Coquelin is probably seen as more of an attacking, box to box type while Eastmond is more of a sitting type, and thus gets the nod. A Diaby to your Song if you will.

Well, with Song ruled out it looks like the best option!

Indeed. But what of Henderson? Would have thought le Coq would've been on the bench ahead of him. Anyways its good to see an Irish name on the Arsenal teamsheet.

I doubt he'll get on, unless we're hammering them with about 15 to go, but I don't see that happening either with how Jekyll and Hyde Wigan have been this year and that they really need to start picking up points to ensure survival.

nice to see merson as a pundit, he always makes me smile

Hope it's a slappin match. Out of the League but would be nice to be entertained.

IRISHSPORTSGUY

Read Henderson has represented Ireland too in the past.

He's spent the majority of time speaking about goal difference,terrible pundit

gosplan

Looks like it's going to be another poor game from Diaby.

Rubbish from Walcott...loads of space there, maybe he should be on the other wing so he'll be more confident of shooting?

Great pace from Campbell straight after that chance!

flahavaj

Jesus Campbell looks like hes somehow shed 10 years in the last two games.:eek:

Nah, he's been good ever since he came back bar a couple of slip ups...far superior to Silvestre anyway.

mike65

England place beckons yet. I'd take him over the likes of Lescott.

Royale with Cheese

Literally walked it in.

SpodoKamodo

get in walcott!!

everdead.ie

Thats what i call walking it into the net

OPENROAD

Brilliant stuff, another 9 goals now please

Eire-Dearg

Nice goal, kind of looks like his pace and momentum kept him upright to toe it in.

SDTimeout

Walcott's been good and diaby's been reading boards.ie slating of him it seems. He's doing well

Rosicky learning from the lazy barca display also playing like he has a rocket up his a*se

Too right, I think Sol's been one of our best players in the last few months. Really stepped up to the plate.


LOL at Walcott, would barely count that goal as a shot. :pac:

L'prof

Thought he was gonna fall over there...didn't realise he actually managed to get the shot off until the replay!

gosplan

Bendtner is the new Fabregas

Paleface

Walcott did well to stay on his feet and poke the ball in.

L'prof

Unlucky there from Walcott, was very close. Great to see him take the shot on!

SDTimeout

What ever people say about rosicky. His touch is top class
