even if that's line up not surprised busy schedule ahead

by SamuelJayC Sat Sep 15, 2012 12:36 pm

Will have official line up around 2pm as usual.

I presume subs, if @afcamden line up is right, will be: Mannone Koscielny Santos Ramsey Arshavin Walcott Giroud

How is benching Giroud gonna help him? That's ridiculous. Playing Poldi centrally, Gervinho starting. Oh dear.

Another 0-0 if we can contain Lambert.

by RealGunner Sat Sep 15, 2012 12:53 pm

He had a muscle injury with france. Would be unwise to start him again

Did you even consider that Giroud and Walcott aren't fully fit after the international break?

At least save your doom and gloom until you know the proper reasons why they aren't starting. :facepalm:

Should have started the same front four as last time. We still need some gelling.

I'm prepared to tear my hair out because of Gervinho. I really hope he proves people wrong and starts performing.

by SamuelJayC Sat Sep 15, 2012 1:13 pm

Looking for Gervinho & Chamberlain to have productive games today on the wings. Podolski centrally is something I'm quite excited to see. Now he has his first goal, I expect a better showing than his Sunderland display on opening day.

No Diaby is a blow, especially when Wilshere and Rosicky are also out, but I like Coquelin, and he is getting better all the time.

There's a possibility that Gervinho plays centrally and Poldi on the left hmm

Arsenal fans will sing "You'll Never Walk Alone" at 3:06 PM (during Arsenal-Southampton) in memory of the 96 Hillsborough victims.

by Wilson37 Sat Sep 15, 2012 2:09 pm

probably Giroud is not 100% fit... not confident with this lineup..
Gervinho, u better prove the decision right... smoking

& as some1 pointed out, if Koscielny starts and we concede, he is gonna be the scapegoat.. so its one reason to start Mert... Razz

by SamuelJayC Sat Sep 15, 2012 2:10 pm

Arsenal team: Szczesny, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Coquelin, Arteta, Cazorla, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gervinho, Podolski

Yeah, I need them too. For some reason, TSN 2 here in Canada is forgoing it's standard Saturday morning football in favour of an American college "football" highlight show :facepalm:
