Hull have some good attacking players so it'll be interesting to see how monreal does at cb. The others will have to help him out and Arteta will have to give them back line protection.
It's such a joke that Monreal is playing at Centreback. If I was managing Hull. I would just be looking for corners and set pieces - we are such a small team today. The guy is small enough as a fullback. He's f**ing tiny as a centre back. The fact we sold Vermalen is f**ing ******ed. It's fair enough Wenger couldn't find a replacement in time.. Then he shouldn't have let Vermaelen go. It's total incompetence and completely inexcusable. There's not a single other top club that would be left in this position. Yet this isn't even the first time at Arsenal.
No Arteta. Flamini starts. Arteta, Ramsey, Rosicky make the bench along with Ajayi - whoever he is?? No Ospina either??
Hopefully some decent stream links considering multiple matches @ 3pm, feel free to post. Cheers http://streamfifamatches.tv/ch2ustream.php
Arsenal 01 Szczesny 39 Bellerin 04 Mertesacker 18 Monreal 03 Gibbs 20 Flamini 10 Wilshere 15 Oxlade-Chamberlain 19 Cazorla 17 Sánchez 23 Welbeck Substitutes 07 Rosicky 08 Arteta 16 Ramsey 26 Martinez 28 Campbell 34 Coquelin 37 Ajayi nice to see Rambo back in squad. apart from back 4 not a bad lineup
So the provisional squad goes out he window lol Ajeyi, Martinez and Ramsey in for podolski, diaby and ospina. And flamini starts ahead of Arteta who must be not quite ready yet.
I would instruct Flamini not to leave our own half, we need as much cover at the back with our missing first teamers. Let's see how Hull goes out there. I think the best strategy is to go and attack us today, as they won't have a better chance to come away with something from the Emirates.
That's why i prefer Welbeck to Giroud, Giroud wouldn't have even been in position to have that chance
Our best attacking player scores again. . Why he isn't getting the same plaudits as Di Maria? ****ish media.
Great start from the team so far, closing everything down, not giving hull time on the ball and constant attacking pressure including taking shots! Deserved the goal
