Giroud & Chambo

greendom

We really need a step up in performance from the Southampton game, otherwise this is going to be a tough afternoon.

Mickeroo

I fully expect a slow start and about an hour of frustration only for us to nick it in the second half.

Professional Griefer

5-0

#Arsenal team to play Palace: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Arteta, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla, Ozil, Podolski, Giroud


Ozil and Cazorla in the middle it seems.

Seriously attacking lineup!

Irish Aris

very nice to see Podolski in the starting squad!!!

Dolph Starbeam

I like that team, very attacking, an early goal would do nicely.

Maybe Ox in the middle?

Pepe LeFrits

Poldi in finally, nice.

Mickeroo

Of course it's an attacking line-up, Arteta is the only non-attacking midfielder that's fit or not suspended. :pac:

Not sure, would mean Ozil or Cazorla on the right.

That would make sense to me. Ox would be more suited to the ramsey/jack role than ozil or santi imo.

True.. wenger has said he sees Ox in that role though. Surprised Mozart isn't playing tbh

Oranage2

I'd imagine

Arteta ox
Santi ozil pod

Agreed.

wandatowell

I'd be delighted with a 2-0.

Expecting a very tough game. Would be very surprised if we win this easily.

3 points would pull us away from our rivals for 4th


COME ON ARSENAL!

UnknownSpecies

Would love to see us put a team to the sword, it hasn't happened in the league this year yet. Won't be an easy game I feel but we'll do our usual slow start with 2 goals in 5 mins at around the 60 minute mark! COYG

Hangballlouie

0-1 chamakh. palace score early and close up shop.

Spanish Johnny

In for a tough afternoon this evening I feel. Palace should have got the draw against City at the Etihad. They will be well organised and pack a punch going forward now and are in top 10 form under Pulis.

Hopefully we score early and take some of the pressure off.

tayto lover

Who is on the bench?
Palace will put it up to us today under Pulis.
Apart from Mert I see no leaders today so lets hope we start well and get on top early.

Irish Aris

I'd like us to end this as quickly as possible, so 3 subs get some playing time.

Although I wouldn't be surprised if this turns to be another exercise in nerve wracking. . .

It's an opportunity for Ozil to show some of that grit we saw the other night again. Looking forward to this one.

Quick start please arsenal.

Looking forward to seeing what the Ox can do.

He didn't look fit on Tuesday.
Hope he's up for it today.
If not Gnarby will come on in the 2nd half i'd say.

bad2dabone

Delighted that poldi starts, must put a few quid on a goal for him

Spanish Johnny

Be great if he showed the ability to be a good option and an instant impact but not expecting too much too soon.

cathalio11

Really fancy Podolski to get a few clear chances again today. Even 25 yards out, there's a fine chance of scoring for him.

FearDark

Ox looks about 40 years old today.

Not loving that Arsenal only have 2 CBs.

FearDark

Ireland/Arsenal conflict solved.

Drexel

Don't look sluggish today thank god

Mickeroo

The Ox looking goods so far.

Spanish Johnny

Excellent from Ozil there. Looks more engaged lately.

tayto lover

We need to use the width of the pitch so that we can get in behind them to the by-line and create openings. Too much huff and puff otherwise.

Too Tough To Die

Can see Arsenal dropping points here.

Dolph Starbeam

Oh I was sure Chamakh was going to bury that.

You might need to adjust your set

think we'll break these guys. Still confident of 2-0

wandatowell

This is gonna be a sh*t match.

tayto lover

Jedinak should have had a yellow by now. 2 late tackles.

Spanish Johnny

How is Jedinak not booked for that.

monkey9

Unbelievable that the ref didn't produce a yellow card there.
