don't blame this all on me as bollotelli would say 'why always me' or was it 'its always me'? either way, yeah!
Our supporters club has been chosen to ask Ramsey twelve questions for the Arsenal player Mine was :-What's it like being a South Walian ****
After scraping a win at Marseille, this game is key. If they win here, they'll be well on their way to the knockout stages. With this being a home game, and having 3 days rest before another home game against West Brom, I think the strongest team should be played. Take players off when winning by a couple of goals, but start with the strongest team: Chesney Jenkinson Vermaelen Koscielny Santos Song Rosicky Ramsey Theo RvP Gervinho RvP for Park Gervinho for Arshavin Theo for Arteta When winning by 2 @ 60mins
On the one hand i think we should play our strongest 11 as we want to guarantee we finish top of the group and with our next game being a home game and with a few days to rest our first team should be ok. On the other hand i'd like to see Park getting a start and Arshavin playing the creative AM role. Maybe it's best to start with our best 11 with the intention of getting ahead and then giving our others a run out. If we go for the team aginst Chelsea but with Verm in for Mert and Jenkinson in for Djourou - we can have a bench with options like Arshavin, Park, Benayoon, Rosicky, Oxo - plenty of good attacking options. And Mert/Djourou as cover for the back. Our squad is looking a little healthier at the moment it has to be said. Can't wait for Wilshere, Sagna and Diaby to be back in action. (Wilshere and Sagna more it has to be said!).
Full team. Arsenal: Szczesny, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Santos, Song, Arteta, Ramsey, Walcott, Gervinho. Park
Think we will see today how important Van Persie is today. For me I think we are clicking as an attacking unit and because of that we can get by without Van Persie. Expect Park, to get chances. That is a lot more than he could have expected a few weeks back.
I think Park will show everyone that we're not reliant on Van Persie. Would also like to see Chamakh come on and get a goal.
Will be interesting to see Mertesacker and Vermaelen starting together. I reckon they are our future first choice CB pairing
