    I'd start Rosicky ahead of Wilshere right off. He might improve but I'm afraid of a red card.

    I'd agree about Jack off for Rozza, not sure about Gnabry yet. Would wait to bring him on personally.

    Jenkinson hasn't been anywhere near the standard that Sagna has been offering us this season. In our last game a LOT went through Sagna and he helps link the defence and midfield.

    Wilshere needs to come off for Rosicky.

    We have had some nice passing moves but WBA have had a very good shape and not often opened up much space. We need to get Ozil and Ramsey on the ball in between there midfield and back line.

    Oh and the ref doesnt seem to like giving any foul of any sort if at all possible. And then if he gives a foul he reaches for the cards immedietly. I think in general we can be more physical and battle more as the officials will let little fouls go, but those on yellows need to be careful as i can see this ref giving out more cards.

    I agree 100%. Wilshere is the great white hope. I will choose Rosicky over him any time!

    Rosicky scored 2 against West Brom last season. Nuff Said!!! But 3-1 prediction is on now. Not the best performance but plenty of time to turn it around. Take Jack off I see a red card coming.

    The game's not over, we can still get the 3 points. I agree with you about Jenkinson, and I think he was definitely at fault in the build up to their goal.

    The space is out wide , problem is we are playing two CM's out there who keep coming inside, Wilshere has been utter ****.

    If Wilshere wasn't English, not sure he would've got that contract....a mid table player.

    He only gets the attention because English football is going through a crisis of real talent

    I agree with Jamie Redknapp (i know!), Take Wilshere off, bring Gnabry on.

    Missing the speed of Walcott and the OX.

    A huge test for our character in the next 45mins.

    We can still get a result and with Ozil and Ramsey on the pitch i'll be confident all the way to the end of the game that we can make something happen. We just need to not get carried away and lose our shape when they counter attack. And step it up a gear in the finalthird, really go at them, we have had some good moments passing through there CB's and think that we might be able to feed something through the centre.

    i'd play gnabry. none of our current midfielders naturally run at defences. bring on gnabry and tell him to have a go. fancy him against ridgewell especially, as he is a CB by trade and slower than your average full back.

    Playing with two CM on the wings offers no width and and WBA are defending deep.

    And here comes the OTT crap. He gets the hype because he was brilliant in that 10-11 season. Problem now is that he is out if form and playing out of position.

    If Wenger leaves Jack on, the 1 positive is that he can't possibly play worse than he did in that first half. Hopefully he calms down, and gets on with the game as he normally would, he just doesn't look himself today

    why do we treat teams like this like they are ****in Barcelona or something , while they HOOF it up to their striker and score after 3 attempts..

    i despair at this , we show them FAR too much respect , trying to score the perfect goal again .....just get it in the box , then the net , stop pi$$ing about , its West Brom not real Madrid.

    Get the lad Gnabry on , hw wont show them too much respect , he will just waltz thru em and score Markmiwurdzzzzzzz

    I'd possibly take off Flamini for Rosicky and put Rosicky out wide and Ramsey in the middle alongside Arteta and Monreal on for Wilshere with Gibbs playing on the left side to give some width.

    ---Arteta---Ramsey---
    Rosicky---Ozil-----Gibbs

    Just trying to think how we canchange it up a bit.

    Doesn't seem as if there are any changes.
