    Do you plan on adding a poll?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,398 ✭✭✭✭SteelyDanJalapeno


    Leighton Baines (OPR Home) (Arsenal Away)
    Fellaini or Berbatov

    Poll needs a poll

    Patience

    maybe Walcott if I think nearer the time he'll play both matches. Carzola for now though


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,600 ✭✭✭roryc


    Olivier Giroud (Norwich Home) (Everton Home)
    REALLY hope Walcott doesn't play.

    Going with Carzola

    Tempted by RVP but put off by:

    1. his poor form (and utd, only in the attacking sense compared to start of season)
    2. Both games away compared to Ars with two home games, I hardly ever pick away captains
    3. I expect Carzola to be picked 40% + , I am top of private leagues so makes sense to go with most popular

    Slight concern that Carzola has a tendency to assist the assiter if you know what I mean:D, but I don't see an alternative as Walcott is uncertain.

    Those desperate for differential will be looking at Fellaini or Baines I would think, but they are decent shouts anyway

    for all the above reasons Im also slightly favouring cazorla at the minute.

    What does everyone think if gervinho? He has hit form and I am thinking the Wenger has to start him now with the run in for the top three... A couple of assists and goals in the last three games....

    Olivier Giroud (Norwich Home) (Everton Home)
    Why did Walcott not make the cut? Do people not reckon he will make both games this week?? I'll be going with Cazorla anyhow because i dont have Walcott anymore but if i did i would probably lump it on him and hoe for the best!

    I left him out of the poll as his fitness is an issue and he was not guaranteed to play both games. I probably should have put him in but some people were complaining last week when there was too many in the poll for their liking.

    Hard to win on here sometimes. :)

    Bar Suarez I would be amazed if anyone even considers anyone else without a DGW. Even if Walcott doesn't start he's ahead of 50% of the poll!

    Haha there's no pleasing the masses! Fair call though id say there's quite a few who would feel the same way about Walcott, i have a feeling if he does start both games though he will do well just to spite me getting rid of him ha!

    Putting the faith back in RVP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,141 ✭✭✭Santi101


    Olivier Giroud (Norwich Home) (Everton Home)
    Yeah if I had RVP, I'd definitely captain him this week. Can see him scoring a couple more but happy I got rid anyway. He looks like he needs a Summer on the beach to me.

    Might go Santi this week. Dont see Theo starting both games.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,430 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Olivier Giroud (Norwich Home) (Everton Home)
    Santi became a father a couple of days ago so that means he's going to score on Saturday :)

    Nobody gave there opinion... What ye all think of gervinho???


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,141 ✭✭✭Santi101


    Olivier Giroud (Norwich Home) (Everton Home)
    He's rubbish mate. Wouldnt touch him with a bargepole.

    Just thought this might interest some people around here before this gameweek kicks off ;)

    How else would he express joy at his child being born than scoring to reveal a customized t-shirt with a message to them.

    Yes i know he has been rubbish up to now... but his one of the highest preforming midfielders the last three weeks with three assist and a goal....

    Olivier Giroud (Norwich Home) (Everton Home)
    Considering the majority of people will captain Cazorla this week i might change my choice to Fellaini! Not much love being given to him and he could run riot!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 712 ✭✭✭Devia


    Robin Van Persie (Stoke Away) (West Ham Away)
    Going with Fellaini. No point in going with the crowd at this stage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭Hogey007


    wenger has said walcott is available. tempted to throw the captaincy on him as a lot of people who had him sold him, i have cazorla too so and of course there's the RVP "gamble"....decisions decisions!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,141 ✭✭✭Santi101


    Olivier Giroud (Norwich Home) (Everton Home)
    It's a risk I think. Walcott is back in the squad, I don't think he will start.

    I think our midfield and attack vs Norwich will be:

    Arteta, Ramsey, Cazorla......Gervinho, Giroud, one of Podolski/Chamberlain. Walcott coming on later.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,766 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    Wayne Rooney (Stoke Away) (West Ham Away)
    i'd be shocked if Walcott started.

    he's nearly always eased back in. he'll play the final 20 minutes against Norwich - max 30 minutes. this is mainly as Gervinho is actually playing well so there's no need to drop him.

    he'll probably start the Everton game.

    it's RVP or Cazorla for me. a very outside chance I'll go with Fellaini, i'm just unsure how far forward he'll play.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,962 ✭✭✭Hogey007


    cheers guys, that narrows my decision down to Cazorla or RVP, because th enorwich game is the one you'd really want walcott starting, I'll still have him in my team anyway so won't be disappointed if he does get a 10+ points haul.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,141 ✭✭✭Santi101


    Olivier Giroud (Norwich Home) (Everton Home)
    I know it seems like madness to pick a player with one game vs one with a DGW, but I really get the feeling the Suarez will score a couple vs Reading away. Terrible team they are. I wouldn't be confident about Caz or Fellaini outscoring him in 2 games tbh.

    Mind you Suarez could do nothing but it kinda feels like Wigan away to me where he ran riot. Reading cannot defend.

    Suarez is a more than sensible captain choice if you have him.
