Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Song, Arteta, Ramsey, Rosicky, Walcott, Van Persie. Team for tonight. AOC out and Ramsey in. Rosicky moves to the wing. Not sure about this. Would have just kept the same team from last Monday.
Been distracted by the god thread - Why Why Why move Rosicky to the wing he has been imperious through the middle why screw with a formation that has worked 4 games in a row after a 10 day break. WHY?? If we play with no fluency in the middle and suffer for lack of pace on the wing Wenger can only blame himself
Not really happy about Rosicky on the wing.... he has been great in midfield as has Chamberlain. Meh. Hopefully Ramsey can put in a good shift but I'm not counting on it.
For ****'s sake! Why move Rosicky to the wing? He has been imperious in that central position lately!! Wenger I hope you know what you're doing....
This is a very important game, in the context that we have the chance to go 6 clear of Chelsea if they lose or 5 if the draw and we win. Must win game I feel.
Everton's team: Howard, Baines, Distin, Heitinga, Hibbert, Osman, Pienaar, Cahill, Drenthe, Fellaini and Jelavic.
I think one of the reason's Wenger has gone for Ramsey ahead of AOC is because we are away from home and do need players that can track back better. AOC and Gibbs on the same side against Everton away would have been defensively weak, especially with Drenthe on that side. Rosicky can track him better. Remember that against Liverpool we had Yossi on the wing. Again, away from home and a player who has a defensive side to his game.
Not happy about Rosicky out wide, why change it? Why not just put Gervinho on the wing or OXO, whats the use of benching either of them? it's decisions like these that leaves fans like myself shaking our heads and scratching our heads at some of Wenger's decisions that make zero sense...now could it work out? yes, but history suggests that when Wenger has made these silly switches to the team that it didn't work out, again, why change something that has been working really good? I really don't understand, if it doesn't work out then that's why fans as myself get really frustrated at Wenger, because no matter how you look at it, this change makes no sense at all, we have been playing a team and system that has worked really well so far, have had more than a week off, so there is no reason to change things out of the blue. But, Wenger's the boss, I'm not, hopefully he shuts me up.
Something that does my head in: I pay to have every single Sky channel... Yet i still can't watch some Arsenal games!!! Why are all games not televised live!!!! There are enough sports channels! Oh and i'll wait to see how things play out before questioning Wengers team decision. Rosicky is stronger defensively than our other wingers and this may be a factor. It may also be that Walcott is going to come and play a more central role. If he is instructed to drift inside and play ahead of RVP (which we have seen a little of this season) then we are better with Rosicky out wide as this will make a transition from 442/433 easier. Not sure if im explaining what i mean very well here lol
---------chezzer------------ Sagna--TV--Kos---Gibbs -----------Song---------- -------Ramsey---Arteta---- Walcott------RVP----Rosicky --------Chezzer-------- Sagna----TV---Kos---Gibbs Ramsey---Arteta---Song---Rosicky -----------------RVP------------- -----------Walcott--------------- Something like that lol
They better effing win this it kicks of at 1.30am here finishes close to 4. I hate it when we play in the week. On the other hand weekend games kick of between 7-10 so are perfect drinking time before I go out. Oh and 98% of our games are televised irregardless of time as long as we aren't on same time as Utd AND Liverpool
COME ON ARSENAL! Just got in from a long shift at work. Got a curry and a beer at the ready. A 1-0 win would do me nicely.
Commentator in the Man City/Chelsea game. Yeah, that and the small matter of the Arsenal game also being played tonight. P.s I know it's petty but these people get paid for giving out info like that.
