Wenger won't drop players for the game he needs to win.
Id prefer to see Kallstrom start too but it wont happen. He atleast offers something off the bench which Arteta doesn't.
Are the reports somewhat reliable or are they the Sun level of reliable?
Should offer Bilboa Moreal+15m for Laporte.
It is from Spanish press. He is from Pamplona so he is one of the few players not at Bilbao that qualify.

Him and Glenn Johnson.
Ox has to start for mine. We're just way too slow without him.
We don't really have anyone else with his pace. Gnabry maybe. But in a game like this, we just need Ox out there and Cazorla and Arteta shouldn't be automatic starters anymore.
Except they will be because the number of injuries.
Ox is doubtful.
Diaby could be available in a few weeks.
Awesome. Who isn't in doubt or in need of a late fitness test? Or on crutches? Or in another continent doing rehab?
* me these constant injuries do my fvcking head in.

Are all these injuries related to us having poor physios etc? Or just unfortunate?

Arsenal seem to have a lot of injuries each year. Not sure if it's s**t staff or a lot of the players are injury prone, probably a combination of both.

It also has to do with poor player management. Ozil and Ramsey injuries are the result of them being run into the ground playing every single game.
With such midfield depth (at the start of the season) we should have been rotating players constantly and keeping them all fresh, instead we play the same team week in week out and burn out our most important players, resulting in situations such as we are in now, having the bare bones of a squad for arguably our most important game of the season.

We didn't have midfield strength at the start of the season though - Cazorla, Ox and Walcott were all injured for much of the first half of the season if you recall. We only had a brief period where everyone in the midfield (bar Diaby) was fit.
Everything is poor.
I've never been this downhearnted in the past 9 years.
Normally i'd be pumped to be have us playing in an FA cup Quarter against a team like Wigan. Now i can't even ejoy it because of what might happen. My confidence in this team is 0%. Absolutly 0% and i've never felt like this about any of the Arsenal teams.
Even when we were just battling for 4th over the last few years i always considered us to be favorites going into games against anyone not in the top 4.
Now i dont even trust us to beat teams like Wigan, Stoke, Everton, Swansea etc....

It's unfair to put Everton in the same list as Wigan, Stoke and Swansea, they are a properly good side
It's a semi my friend !!
Haven't been this apprehensive about a game in a long long time. I'm not really looking forward to watching, will be more so just hoping and willing us not to * it up.
Really should be beat Wigan easily even in our current form. They had a better team last year and did not really trouble Arsenal from what I can remember.
Ramsey will improve the team a lot.
