Arsenal v Swansea FA cup 3rd round replay preview

Its getting quite pathetic that we still dont have a DM. We will get overrun in the midfield. Not because they're bad players, but because it is so painfully obviously imbalanced.

Why didnt we go after Vertonghen again?

Remember the game is at 7:30 and not 7:45!!

Come on bro, lets save the self criticizing for AFTER the game! Or at least all the other doom threads

lets gooooooo! the OX to score the opener!

excellent work

im really Worried about the fact we dont/ more like cant rest some players
but knowing the reaction if we go out and that 2-0 defeat still fresh! in mind we should go for it
at the moment im not really looking forward to Chelsea game though............
cause the next game is always the most important one

Great Job Sam.

A must must win game, our season is on the line. I hope Theo goes back to the wing and Giroud starts up front. Cazorla needs rest and hope he is not in the starting 11.

-----------Szczesny

Jenk-----------Mert--------Verm---------Gibbs

-------------Ramsey---------Wilshere

--------------------Oxlade

Walcott---------------Giroud------------Podolski

Its about time the English 6 started for Arsenal.
Arsenal 3 Swansea 1.

I think you need to play Diaby for a half... first or second. Need to get him into shape before CL and big games. If he gets injured, nothing new lol.

............Szczesny.............
Sagna Merte Vermaelen Gibbs
.......Coquelin Ramsey............
...........Wilshere.............
...Walcott Giroud Podolski...

Ramsey was good in the last game and he was not on the wing, Wilshere has been unplayable lately and pushing him further up the field will help break their defence. Secondly walcott will need balls in behind the defence, Ramsey and wilshere and to some extent Coquelin can also do that. Defensively this is an unbalanced team unless coquelin play the arteta role of staying back but balanced or unbalanced we are in any case in for shambolic defending

Bring in Cazorla, oxlade and Diaby if the need be

Wenger: "We have an opportunity to bounce back." Hopefully the team won't be timid from the start tonight!


Wenger we cant Handel any more distractions, must get your team ready and win today. We need a big boost today for upcoming games.

Why would you start Ramsey, we need to keep that washout as far away from the pitch as possible, its the same thing with Santos, Gervinho, and Squid.

Just because he was very good in the city game, when he plays bad he deserves criticizism even I do that but when he plays good he deserves some credit too bro and given Arteta's Injury he should get the nod rather than playing diaby who has already played 60 competitive minutes this week.

P.S. That pass to walcott which was cleared off the line by Lescott was something I was craving to see from Arsenal, Kept expecting it from Cazorla but he did it.

Great preview Sam ..as always onestly.
btw it's a must win imo soooo let's bt em then

Great work sam

We should really finish the game before the 90 mins. Don't want extra 30 mins at all.

Guess we will see few rotation.

I am expecting a lot for this game, a big win even though Swansea are tough team to score against.

We cant allow them to play their game. A early goal will open up the game and hope we can trash them.

What happens if the game ends 1-1 or 3-3? or there must be a winner?

yes there must be a winner coz its replay..

This isn't a game where we can faff about with Ramsey and co.

Only reason Ramsey should even appear this game is if we either have an injury, or we're up 6-0 in the 80th minute

I got 99 football channels but this game ain't on one

Internet streams, we meet again.
