Arsenal Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2016/2017

Starting a whole day's pub drinking with the game my united supporting mate so we better win.

Awesomeness

Gonna have to try to watch the last 15 on my phone as getting the bus to the rugby. Hopefully have the game wrapped up by then

Well boo hoo. Be lucky if I see any of the match as it's on at 6:30 in the morning here in Gu GuatemalaT

If we win, I'll firmly start to believe we can challenge.

Really hope Jenks has a good game today if he plays and shows we can cope without Hector for a few games.

Will number 13 be lucky for Wenger against Mourinho?
Would be about time.

Ramsey ahead of Jenko...good call. Oh wow, and Walcott on the left. I like this lineup.

So nervous, this match followed by All Blacks v Ireland. Could be a very good or very bad day.

tayto lover

Good to see Elneny and Sanchez starting.
Ramsey ahead of Jenks - hope he gives him cover. I'm worried about Jenks though.

Utd's back 4 is Valencia, Jones, Rojo, Darmian. Now if that doesn't give our forward line some encouragement I don't know what will.

Seeing how Wenger is going with Coquelin and El Neny, I'd have rathered someone like the Ox out wide instead of Ramsey. Just think that we may be lacking in a bit of pace. Big question mark of course is Jenkinson, I do worry about Rashford or Martial up against him.

Right it's time to retire another monkey from our backs and finally put JM in his place.

Is it too early to have a drink?! Nerves are at me

That's an attacking line up

Yep. No excuses today. Piss or get off the pot.

United's defence looks vulnerable

Settle down boys. They seem as nervous as I am.

mansize

And that's the last I see of the match

wonga77

oh man what a chance for Sanchez

United just need to keep putting in crosses, eventually they'll get lucky. Unfortunately.

extra gravy

Darmian should be off. Guaranteed we won't get similar leniency.

I'd rate Gibbs over Monreal right now. I'm not even joking.

The Red Lad

United look ten times more likely to score looks like wenger is going for a draw by the selection of the team. Don't agree with dropping iwobi for Ramsey and xhaka should be on instead of Elneny!

emmetlego

That looked a peno to me.

Ramsey is having a stinker.

Might have been out with Rooney.

Poor performance. Sanchez dropping too deep. Think we need Giroud to give our attack a focal point.

Yup. Giroud on, Ramsey off. Sanchez out left. My only worry with that is Sanchez putting a suspect Monreal under even more pressure. Ramsey has been doing that anyway, I guess.

gosplan

Give it 20 mins, try to keep it at 0-0 and then get the OG on.

MonsterCookie

thought the ref would have given that peno alright. would have been harsh mind you!

tayto lover

Coq's workrate has been immense today. Tracking men all over the place.

omega man

Missed first half due to my sons footie match. Seems I didn't miss much! Not one shot on target??

tayto lover

Some of our players not getting stuck in.

x PyRo

Giroud please. Alexis to wing, Ramsey out. He's poison today.

Ardennes1944

Is Ozil actually playing?

Ardennes1944

Shocked.

Never surprised when losing to Utd.

Awful defending

FixitFelix

Getting exactly what we deserve

tayto lover

We have been playing like a team determined not to lose all match.
Only one team trying to win.

x PyRo

This team doesn't work without Cazorla.

Nice positive substitution

While I agree Santi is a key player, we have been set up terribly, Ramsey has been shocking and we look bereft of ideas up front. Who was picking up Mata? Looked like Elneny fell asleep! Abject performance.

FixitFelix

Özil has been atrocious

Skylinehead

What's new. Easiest money in the world, at least.

No Cazorla doesn't explain the sloppiness and lack of desire though. Same old story.

Ozil, Ramsey and Walcott have no balls for a battle.
