Thoughts on team for tomorrow? I think we should go with this:
Mannone
Jenko Kos Verm Gibbs
Diaby Arteta
Gervinho Cazorla Podolski
Giroud

I think Mertasacker has done great so far this year but Koscielny Is better equiped to deal with Aguero and tevez imo. I think Its a tough call between dropping Giroud and playing Gervinho up front with Chamberlain or Walcott on the wing.

I think he's leave the back 4 as they are, otherwise the same team as you.

Down to 6th.

But we have a game in hand!

Maire2009 · 22-09-2012 09:46PM

Tomorrow should give us a good indication of how we're going - I think City are there for the taking. Not a hammering of course - but sneaking it by a goal if we can keep our heads at the back.

keano_afc · 22-09-2012 10:13PM

Definitely a game we can win. City havent kept a clean sheet so far and we're solid at the back. Actually looking forward to this one.

I'm just worried about Mertesacker vs Tevez/Aguero. Yes Mert has been good but he is just not suited against those players. Just look how easily Suarez rounded him in the Pool game, Aguero and Tevez will punish you for those mistakes. So I'm hoping Koscielny will play.

Maybe a sneaky 2-1 to the gunners!

Any truth verm took sick and is out

That would be a big problem, need a leader for this game for when things get tough.

gosplan · 23-09-2012 11:54AM

Verm out apparently with flu.

Not too worrying though. Kos will do fine.

Loss of the teams leader but Kos can more than do a job.

hamilton out so might as well go out. hope this doesnt spel a bad day for sports for me. hamtilon/arsenal fan here

The loss of Vermaelen is a big blow. Kos is a brilliant replacement, but I'd be much happier if he was replacing Mertersacker.

Regardless who he is replacing and even though he is in my opinion our best defender
He has played 0 mins this season and its not a game I'd like to see any player with 0 mins start, esp a centre back

emergingstar · 23-09-2012 01:49PM

Ramsey and kos start according to some

Roddy23 · 23-09-2012 02:44PM

Haven't been this nervous before an Arsenal for a long time. Id take a draw

Very hard on Verm that, what with him being captain and all.

He's sick apparently.

Soups123 · 23-09-2012 03:06PM

Not sure I can do Quinn for 90 minutes. They shouldn't av him for City or Sunderland games

Oh well that makes more sense. Wonder would Wenger have dropped Mert today otherwise?

darego · 23-09-2012 04:26PM

why is gerv still on the pitch. he's had a very poor game today

23-09-2012 04:53PM

Just to go ahead and piss on everyone's parade, 9 points from 5 matches, we got 10 from the corresponding fixtures last season. :pac:

Unbeaten still and close to the top. Very happy at the minute.

Could have won today if a certain someone was more clinical but still a decent result and keeps the momentum going.

emergingstar · 23-09-2012 04:55PM

Thought we were very good today
Surely people will shut up about per today outstanding

dvemail · 23-09-2012 04:55PM

Great result for us today. Took the game to them at the end and got the goal for it. Not an easy place to go an take points, so at least we managed 1.

Mickeroo · 23-09-2012 04:56PM

I fancy our chances against Chelsea next week after today for sure.

23-09-2012 04:57PM

Great result and performance for me.
We aren't getting brushed aside by the Champions with only 2 goals conceded.
Very happy.

Soups123 · 23-09-2012 04:57PM

Happy with the result, delighted with the performance overall. We look and feel physically and mentally strong. Thought Ramsey and Kos were excellent, wud have been unimaginable at the start of last season to think we'd 3 quality centre backs, Mert was quality again today. Gerv was poor Diaby lazy at times but other than that everyone played really well.

If Jenkinson can sort out his distribution from the back he could grow into a quality right back.

More I see this team the more confident I get the drought is ending.
