    With our fans worried about our defense i thought it was interesting that there fans are worried about there own defense! Should make for a good attacking game.

    Good luck with the match but it's sickening hypocrisy to complain about corrupt refereeing given the amount of decisions that went your way or against us last season to put you in this position in the first place. Either accept that referees are doing their best or find some other sport to watch where there's no corruption.

    Ref was a bell-end on Saturday, no two ways about it. Also there were plenty of decisions that went against us last season too, so you can't claim that we were put in this position at your expense because of decisions that went against you.

    Amazing that we only have ONE player who could give us any sort of impact going forward on the bench. So we better hope that the starting eleven do the business.

    For all the whining about our squad over the last couple of months, that's still a pretty decent team and subs bench

    There are sites that rate refereeing and yes they show that Spurs are not referee's favorites either, but Arsenal were still worse in most categories, largely due to Mike Dean's contribution.

    How on earth is that a 'decent' subs bench? It's utter ****.

    Bar Arteta, that is arguably our strongest team. Wenger could do with a result if his faith in the current group is justified.

    It's just our DM and striker again. Wilshere/Ramsey won't protect the back four enough, and Giroud won't score enough.

    I actually can't believe Frimpong is there.

    Exactly, a guy that has played ZERO minutes in pre-season has somehow managed to get a place on our bench, not to mention the fact, that he is not very good.

    Glad Cazorla is back starting though. We struggled to link play between our midfield and the front 3 against Villa, hopefully Cazorla can help us out with that.

    He's not match ready, i would have gone with Podolski instead.

    Probably not, but we need a 4th midfielder instead of a 3rd attacker on one of the flanks. Walcott usually just makes runs off the last man rarely coming short for the ball. Ox didn't drop back nearly as much as I thought he might against Villa either. To get our passing game flowing I think we need Cazorla there linking up with Rosicky and the deeper two.
