Campbell on the right as expected

Then we definitely wont last the pace with all the sick notes in the squad imo. january is hard but hopefully Wenger has learned his lesson. His January transfer window a few years back cost us a genuine shot at the title. A Gabriel/Monreal type signing would be immense.

We might just get others fit though. I mean we've a few injuries but it's not a disaster yet. It could go either way.

Problem with Jan is we'd need midfield/attacking players that can come in and do a job straight away in a league challenge.

Pretty tough ask

boodiebhoy · 31-10-2015 3:18pm

Not much attacking option on the bench today. Needs to get someone in January.

Why? With Rosicky, wilshere, ox, walcott and welbeck all back by then how would we even fit a new attacking option in the squad? There's no way all those players will be injured again at the same time after Jan.

Investing in Jan really tough.

You basically can't get any decent European international to move 6 months before Euros.

We're done for the season I'd say.

Just like we were done after losing to West Ham...

Players will be back, man city and utd are no great shakes this season and Chelsea are just hilarious.

Given our recent history - actually not just recent - how likely is that they will all be back and we won't have anyone else out?

We dont need all of them back, even one or two of them would be fine cover.

Marty McFly · 31-10-2015 3:31pm

That bench today is scarily lacking in attacking options. Big few games for Campbell or Iwobi coming up let's hope one of them can produce the goods.

efb · 31-10-2015 4:01pm

Fcuk me, Sellotanta have HD! 😯

JustTheOne · 31-10-2015 4:02pm

When we dont start with intensity I feel it will be a bad afternoon.

The way we started against United should be the level.

Skylinehead · 31-10-2015 4:13pm

Campbell's putting a shift in so far.

efb · 31-10-2015 4:16pm

Love him (or any Arsenal player) to get on the scoresheet for Arsenal!!!

efb · 31-10-2015 4:17pm

Giroud using his bulk

Roddy23 · 31-10-2015 4:21pm

Phew, thank God he bottled that, great covering Bellerin.

Also great to see Cech stay on his feet for so long.

Skylinehead · 31-10-2015 4:21pm

Wow, got away with that.

efb · 31-10-2015 4:21pm

Cech and Bellerin save the day

JustTheOne · 31-10-2015 4:22pm

No urgency at all need to up it.

omega man · 31-10-2015 4:22pm

Mert exposed again

emergingstar · 31-10-2015 4:22pm

Mert is a liability

bad2dabone · 31-10-2015 4:22pm

Bellerin the bullet

Roddy23 · 31-10-2015 4:23pm

Campbell playing well so far. Languid start of style not too dissimilar to KANU.

JustTheOne · 31-10-2015 4:23pm

Playing poor.

Campbell doing good.

jamescd · 31-10-2015 4:23pm

Mert is giving me a heart attack

JustTheOne · 31-10-2015 4:25pm

Jesus we aren't closing players down or chasing the ball.

Gonna concede soon if we dont start pressing.

Gabriel is such a better defender.

emergingstar · 31-10-2015 4:27pm

Mert is all over the place worse that tuesday night

indeed

AdamD · 31-10-2015 4:28pm

How have Swansea not gotten a yellow yet? Bad miss Giroud

He's not.

Quazzie · 31-10-2015 4:28pm

Giroud should've done MUCH better there. Had acres of space and plenty of time.

bad2dabone · 31-10-2015 4:28pm

Oooh giroud just leaned back too much

Alfred Borden · 31-10-2015 4:29pm

Should score

JustTheOne · 31-10-2015 4:29pm

Ah he is like.

jamescd · 31-10-2015 4:29pm

Jesus Giroud

itsjaybud · 31-10-2015 4:36pm

Campbell looks fair unfit....

Mert is a complete joke again, how he starts ahead of Gabriel is behond me.

AdamD · 31-10-2015 4:38pm

Be surprised if Campbell is match fit given that he never plays

Dont see how Campbell looks any different to the other players out there.

JustTheOne · 31-10-2015 4:39pm

How are we so lethargic after our last few results?

31-10-2015 4:45pm

****sake, playing for 4th again.

Roddy23 · 31-10-2015 4:45pm

Ah ffs, this could be disastrous.

omega man · 31-10-2015 4:45pm

This is worrying

Roddy23 · 31-10-2015 4:46pm

Ah he's grand

Alfred Borden · 31-10-2015 4:46pm

That doesnt look good. Sanchez up top with his movement could help us in thos game though as Giroud isnt getting much joy.

farna_boy · 31-10-2015 4:48pm

How is that not a foul? I don't think the Swansea player made any attempt to play the ball.

If he manages to stay on something will have to change because he is getting **** all service today.

And who'd play on the wing?

Alfred Borden · 31-10-2015 4:48pm

In fairness to Giroud, he is hard to injure. If that was one of the British lads, they would be out for a few months.

Gibbs maybe?

emergingstar · 31-10-2015 4:52pm

Take Ramsey out of that midfield and all of s sudden the coq/Cazorla partnership doesn't look great

DarraghF197 · 31-10-2015 4:52pm

Alfred Borden wrote: »

I'm not sure if you're joking or not! I'd chance Iwobi over him, and I'm not a Gibbs hater.

I'd probably pick a 4-3-1-2 formation with Sanchez and Campbell up front if Giroud is injured.

In all fairness the whole team isn't playing well.
