West ham playing a 16 year old in midfield. Time for ours to impose themselves and shock him out of the game. He won't be able to handle the pace
Baptism of Fire, throwing the lamb to the wolves. I think West Ham have already given up on this game.
Yeah that is a nice bench we have there and that is having Wilshere and Welbeck injured! West ham will be up against it today but it will be a good first game up for us.
Surprised to see Alexis on the bench - I imagine Wenger wanted to give him another game off, but was tired of Sanchez moaning at him constantly to play! lol
Tomkins is playing as a full back for this game. We need to take advantage of our width aka Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Here we go, the season starts now ! I've had to put up with poxy Tennis, Golf and Cricket all summer Now the real deal begins
Hmm, this game has all the makings of Arsenal donination with West Ham sucker punching us. I hope not though.
Yes Oxo looking like our best attacking player. The rest look rusty. Second half should be better. Would be nice to see Walcott.and if we are.still srruggling, Sanchez might make an unexpected appearance.
