Arsenal Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread Summer 2015

Campbell needs to show us something tonight. Personally I think he is a nice baller with great potential.

18 mins gone and only 1 sub left , it is a disaster

Probably push more players into the infamous "red zone".

tayto lover

Campbell able to handle himself anyway physically.

pudzey101

whats the plan now

tayto lover

Debuchy miles off the pace and his positioning is so poor.
Wednesday took their goal well though.

Disgraceful defending.

symbolic

Took the goal well.

Soups123

Fcukin disgraceful tackle ref bottled it red card all day long

Quazzie

Per wasn't great there. I'll have to see it from a different angle but it looked like he could've done more.

Ref bottles a red card call too.

Quazzie

Our set pieces very rarely clear the first man.

Bret Hart

2 injuries and now 1-0 down. This is turning out to be a nightmare evening for Arsenal.

Soups123

Typical of all players to put it out was gonna be Gibbs

tayto lover

Our build up is far too slow. No pace at all.

tayto lover

And that's that.
Bloody awful defending.

omega man

Bring on the big guns now.......oh wait.

We're in for a toasting tonight.. Ah well

farna_boy

Time to take Cech off and get Giroud sent off. Two key positions with no apparent replacements.

Gringo180

How on earth is Debuchy in that position and Mertesacker out defending the back post? Shocking defending

Soups123

I really don't understand this. Come to a game that the fans don't care about and obviously the team aren't up for with 2/3 first teamers playing and run the risk of injury when we are already missing players to injury

gandalf

The only consolation is that of all our matches this is one we can afford to lose.

Quazzie

Zero attacking force has been our downfall. Defensive frailties can be expected but the three debutants and Campbell should be doing a lot better against this level of opposition.

pudzey101

can see us ending this match with 9-10 men , be it red cards or injuries with no subs left

100% agree I just don't get why he felt the need to risk Cech, Theo, Ox and Giroud. That just isn't good enough.

Well at least Ozil, Carzola and Sanchez can't be brought on !!!!

Come on lads isnt hindsight a great thing. If he didnt start any of those players we would be saying he should be playing them to keep them sharp. This game is far from over.

OK. Let me try.

Keepers rarely get injured.
Theo was rested last weekend.
Ox needs confidence, this game may have helped.
We needed firepower to score, hence Giroud.

That ok?

tayto lover

For such a big lad Iwobi is very soft. Getting shoved off the ball by little lads.

Thank fcuk! It was a perfect night to rest them all or protect them. Couldn't give a toss about the score just so pissed we've lost two

It's not about hindsight it's about common sense

Of course it is. If were 2 nil up at half time and Ox is still on the pitch nobody would be moaning.

I can't fault him on picking who he did, who bloody knew two of them would get injured so quickly. You can see some of those young lads aren't going to be superstars in the future seen as half of our top young players are out on loan. Poor Giroud hasn't got a touch yet, I take him off around 70 minutes seen as he might be our only striking choice for a while.

The Ox injury looks bad. With Walcott you never know.

Result is irrelevant

tayto lover

An injury to Giroud and we're in big trouble with Walcott and Welbeck out.

Quazzie

I'm losing count of the amount of games where I've been massively unimpressed by Campbell. I really can't see anything that he offers to us.

Hopefully he is pulled at HT, it would be a disaster

Alfred Borden

None of the three youngsters have impressed. The two injuries are awful luck. Can we recall Akpom/Gnabry? All out for the league now it seems. Would have liked a cup double but sure see what happens second half.

He's only kept around cause we sent Akpom out on Loan and didn't bring in another striker. Simple as. I still don't understand why Wenger let Akpom go out on loan, he could have been handy for us.

Ox didn't seem to think it was precautionary. No need to put on Walcott. 2 pulled muscles like that could be dismissed as a coincidence in some situations, not with our history though. And not with the two players in question .

Ol' Donie

Costa off injured on 33 mins at Stoke.

emergingstar

Recall Sanogo

Sorted

Marty McFly

Screw tonight's game couldn't give a toss if we loose.

But what the hell we going to do with right wing if there both out for at least a few weeks.

Recall Gnabry he's far better than Pulis is letting on well was anyway.

Couldn't give a shít about the league cup tbh. Very very concerned Theo is out though. Not quite sure Ox is 100 % lately and looked sore even on Saturday.
