I'm expecting a dull draw. Too many of our boys were far from 'match ready' during the Emirates and I can't see how one week is going to improve them. I am relying upon our defence to keep us in the game as I don't see us scoring more than 1, if any.
Caballero Clichy Boyata Nastasic Kolorov yaya fernando Nasri Jovetic Silva Dzeko Would be my guess at our starting X1 Clichy played RB on the US tour a couple of times and played really well,I think he'll be preferred there to Richards
silly , just silly . and what do you base that assessment on . How many games has he played for us and you have already decided that .... Crackers !
I'd fancy beating that City lineup. I can see Arsenal having: Chesney, Debuchy, Chambers, Kos, Gibbs, Arteta, Ramsey, Cazorla, Sanchez, Giroud, Ox.
Bleacher report put forward an interesting possible lineup - szczesny, debuchy, chambers, kos, gibbs, flamini, arteta, sanchez, ramsey, oxo with Sanogo upfront. I can see the reasoning as flamini and arteta would protect chambers and the tesm is the freshest available - flamini, arteta, ramsey, sanogo, oxo, chambers all missed the world cup. But personally id still like the class of cazorla in and sanchez upfront http://m.bleacherreport.com/article...-how-gunners-will-line-up-in-community-shield
.. and Abu Diaby, who had apparently a perfect pre-season, can not play, because he is, guess it, INJURED. This is not even funny. Wenger is the most patient manager on Earth.
Any source? Only thing I can find is an espn article using a French article as it's source. Isn't this whole hip injury thing the same injury people said he had last week and wenger said he wasn't injured?
If so then a team something like: -----------------Szcz---------------- Debuchy---chambers--Kosc---gibbs -----------Arteta---Ramsey--------- Oxocube-----rosicky-----Cazorla --------------Sanchez--------------- Subs: Martinez, monreal, flamini, wilshere, Campbell, giroud, Sanogo Maybe diaby on the bench if the rumour of his injury isn't true. Since we have no Germans and no Walcott and vermaelen is off to barca.
I quite like that team (except swapping cazorla and rosiky) as its got pace in oxo and sanchez, energy in ramsey and rosiky and trickrty in cazorla.
Michael Owen commentating, now there's a t**t I'd dearly love to see at the wrong end of a vicious hammer attack.
