Marseille v Arsenal Thought I'd make a match thread so we can contain all of our thoughts, rants, celebrations etc in one single thread. TEAMS: Marseille: Mandanda, Azpilicueta, Diawara, N'Koulou, Morel, Diarra, Gonzalez, Cheyrou, Valbuena, Remy, Andre Ayew. Subs: Bracigliano, Gignac, Kabore, Traore, Amalfitano, Sabo, Roland. Arsenal: Szczesny, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Andre Santos, Song, Arteta, Walcott, Rosicky, Arshavin, van Persie. Subs: Fabianski, Ramsey, Djourou, Gervinho, Chamakh, Benayoun, Coquelin. Referee: Damir Skomina (Slovenia) So Arshavin has got the nod infront of Gervinho maybe because of form, or Gervinho could be tired. Surprised to see Walcott not sacrificed instead, to be honest. As expected, Santos fills in for Keiran who has a slight injury. OXO isn't even on the bench, so there's no chance of seeing him outperform Theo. My prediction: 2-2
Been disappointed with Walcott so far. He seems to have an uncanny ability to make the wrong decision.
what happened to our pretty triangles? we never have more than 1 to pass to - Mar just keep the press on us - yet we make rash passes.
