Up the Arse! Goons thread Part 2

[AG]

I'd like to see nasri and cesc in the middle with rosicky on the wing.

Yep. Nasri and Rosicky should both be on the pitch imo. They are the form players so far this season.

 

[Benno_900]

This.

Rather frustrating at the moment as it serves us no purpose with him bombing forward and turning it over.

It's as if Wenger is trying to turn him into Vieira or something.

I blame the terrible hair. Get rid of it, Alex.

 

[Benno_900]

Good news ... Cesc will get a nice break after being left out of the Spanish squad.

Bad news ... He is less than 50:50 to be fit for the Chelsea game.

 

[charcoalchicken]

I dunno Rosicky = shit IMO we should have got rid him a while ago hopefully he proves me wrong

 

[Hlebalicious]

Hes been pretty good this year, apart from his missed penalty i think hes been one of our best.

Yep. Nasri has been the standout, but Rosicky has been pretty good.

Good news ... Cesc will get a nice break after being left out of the Spanish squad.

He'll feel like he's back in South Africa then.

 

[Benno_900]

Injury news ...

Cesc out
Gibbs out 2-3 weeks
Almunia out
Vermaelen out indefinitely
Diaby in

Chelsea 6-0

Chelsea 6-0

Why so negative?

 

[RickSanchez]

Probably won't watch it live. Will tape it and watch the replay.

Hope we lineup like this:

--------------Flappy---------------
Sagna------Squid----Kos-----Clichy

-----------Song--Denilson-----------------

----nasri-----Rosicky-----Arshavin--

---------------Chamakh-------------

 

[Benno_900]

Do we have any other alternatives? Vela never starts, Wenger says Diaby won't start, maybe Eboue instead of Rosicky.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if Wilshere does start. Hope not though, it may be too big a game for him (for now).

I don't like Eboue playing in advanced positions. He is a much better player at RB pushing up. Would much prefer Rosicky in the front half.

I wouldn't mind seeing Wilshere start, but not fussed either way. Our main concerns are down back though trying to contain Drogba and co.

I really hope Song does not push up when we attack. We cannot get caught on the counter like last season and I can sense us getting stung with Song pushing further and further up the park lately.

 

[r dub 19]

Denilson has to start, he is calm in games like this. I don't mind if jack plays, but think he is a bit inexperienced.

 

[Hlebalicious]

Verm out indefinetly? So no return date or what

 

[Smyth94]

FFS why do we always play Chelsea without 3-4 starters...I swear this is exactly what happened last year.

 

[Benno_900]

At least we have a fit striker this time.

Team news vs Chelsea

This match has come too early for both Cesc Fabregas and Manuel Almunia. Kieran Gibbs has a calf strain and will be out for another couple of weeks at least while Vermaelen is struggling with an achilles problem and is a still a while away.

Diaby may not be fit enough to start but will be part of the squad.

There seems to be a lot of talk about Wilshere in the buildup to the match (including Wenger's press conferences) which suggests he may start.

Predicted lineup ...

Fabianski
Sagna - Squillaci - Koscielny - Clichy
Song - Denilson
Nasri - Wilshere - Arshavin
Chamakh
​

Subs: Szczesny, Djourou, Eboue, Diaby, Lansbury, Rosicky, Vela

Unavailable: Almunia (elbow), Vermaelen (achilles), Gibbs (calf), Frimpong (knee), Fabregas (hamstring), Ramsey (leg), Walcott (ankle), van Persie (ankle), Bendtner (groin)

Prediction: Chelsea 3 - 1 Arsenal

Broadcast Details: Monday 3 October - 01:55 AM (AEDT) on Fox Sports 1

This concerns me greatly :

“I don’t think he will require surgery but he needs more time. It is very slow to heal.”

 

[cesc fabregas]

Achilles injuries are the worst, someone studded me in mine by accident last year in the second game and i only played one more game that season.

Hopefully not to longer though, we do have 2 weeks break after tomorrow which i'm sure will come in handy for a few of our players. If all goes well we should have Fabs, Theo and Verm back right after the break and then RVP a week or two after that.

 

[r dub 19]

Yeah I have a bad feeling TV will need surgery.

S94, you follow Essendon as well as Arsenal mate, you should be used to this by now. I`ll tip a suprise, 1-1. Come on Gunners.

 

[Benno_900]

Yeah I have a bad feeling TV will need surgery.

At least we've got decent backup this time and not ****ing Silvestre.

Squillaci and Koscielny have been solid (West Brom aside). And Djourou is decent.

 

[Crimson King]

I actually wouldn't be surprised if Wilshere does start. Hope not though, it may be too big a game for him (for now).

Why's that? he looks the sort of a player who would look forward to such a contest.

I remember a young Cesc Fabregas tearing Juventus apart in the Champions League.
