Morning all. Anyone going to the match tomorrow?

JustTheOne

We're doing a great job of not conceding many lately considering the lack of height in the team.

Is there anyone over 6 foot apart from cech?

Mustafi, Adelaide, Jenkinson, Welbeck, Gabriel, Giroud, Holding, Kosc, Mertesacker, Sanogo, Martinez. Ospina and Akpom are 6.

What you mean the team playing now? He's 6 foot according to Wiki and all other sources I can find.

As in the team who has been playing the last 5 or 6 games we have won.

If he is 6 foot still think we're doing a good job considering.

Barcelona at the start of March was our last defeat besides Liverpool.

KaiserGunner

It really should read 1 defeat in 20 though, as pre season friendlies shouldn't count. Still an impressive run, hope we keep it up.

3 terrible drawn matches in April and we still managed to finish above Spurs. Ha

How's the calendar year table looking now?

Not sure but we're currently 4 points ahead of last season on the comparative fixtures table.

Have it myself. Very handy for our Champions Lge games. Our game against Spurs is on BT and we have 2 live matches on in December against West Ham and Everton.

Team bus just passed me as I walked on Liverpool Road!

Hoping for a solid 3-0 win tonight!

COYG!

At Emirates. #afc team: Ospina, Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Gibbs; Cazorla, Coquelin; Walcott, Ozil, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Sanchez.

domrush

What is the craic with Giroud and Perez? Gotta rest Sanchez and Ozil at some point

Strange lineup alright. Surprised no Elneny, or even play Xhaka since he can't play on the weekend.

Giroud down as being injured until tomorrow

So just the two changes, Gibbs for Monrael and Ox for Xhaka.
I expected more. Thought Sanchez would be rested and Perez given a run.

Just wondering when Ozil and Sanchez will be given a rest before they burn-out or get injured through over-playing. Maybe Wenger is just going to play them until they do get injured and then let someone else take over. He has a habit of playing lads continuously and maybe that's a good idea.

It's Coq for Xhaka, Ox for Iwobi and Gibbs for Monreal.

You can only imagine that Sanchez and Ozil are in form and want to be playing. I'm sure they're medically monitoring them to avoid burnout.

Ox getting the nod over Iwobi too.

Maybe he's waiting for Ramsey to come back fully fit and let him give Ozil a break then, think he plays as a number 10 for Wales.

Iwobi was ok going forward on Sat but he left Monrael, who got all the flack, totally exposed at times at the back. He is still learning.

KaiserGunner

Yeah thought a couple more changes would have been made, but I suppose Wenger can rest more players later on in the group once qualification is certain. Thought Xhaka or El Neny would have replaced Cazorla too. I'd worry about Cazorla being burned out or injured as he is that bit older. Although we have strength in numbers with the midfield, so it's not as big a concern.

Ol' Donie

Qualify scoring as many as possible to get 1st in the group.

Makes sense to me.

Ol' Donie

Ha! Wifi in hotel is good for once ever. I can actually watch this. Yes!

Loads of empty seats.

Walcott hasnt got that natural footballing brain.

Just hit the thing. Why go for a pass in that position :mad:

Only because it didn't work out. I think there was nothing wrong with that decision.

Great finish

Has served his suspension. Still injured with this mystery toe injury.
