After a slightly slow start to the season, Arsenal have a great chance to go into the international break just two points off the top of the Premier League with a win at newly promoted Leicester City. But Arsene Wenger still has a few injury concerns and a few selection issues to make.
The big team news is that the Frenchman has brought Yaya Sanogo back into the centre forward position to replace the injured Giroud, moving the Chile international Alexis Sanchez back out to the right. Wenger has also dropped Jack Wilshere and stuck with Santi Cazorla on the left, although Podolski, Campbell and Chamberlain are on the bench.
Szczesny
Debuchy, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal
Flamini, Ramsey
Sanchez, Ozil, Cazorla
Sanogo
subs: Martinez, Chambers, Wilshere, Rosicky, Chamberlain, Campbell, Podolski
The bench looks a bit light defensively and I am surprised that Hector Bellerin is not on there, but the versatility of Chambers could be the reason for that. It looks like the Gunners are set up to control the ball and push Leicester back.
We certainly have the players to take all three points today, as long as we play to our strengths and do not let the home side get into their stride early on. Hopefully our young French striker can produce the sort of form that saw him score four goals against Benfica in pre-season and fire the Gunners above the spuds. COYG.
When the f###?! Is wenger gonna make a change?!?!
Take off Ozil or Cazorla for The Ox…
Ox is such a plank with his wayward shots. Wilshere should have come on. Plays well in a scrappy game like this one.
Leicester bring on a fresh striker. Wenger seems happy with the result though.
Get him off
Wenger does not want to win the game. Why no subs till now ??? Is he still in the pre-season mode ??
I wasted 90 min of my life by watching a crap match, sonago leading the front line is like watching goat in the bed with a pornstar!!!
Having millions of money to spend we bring no stricker. We dnt deserve a point in that match.
He’s still at the copacabana beach!
GET A F$$$$$G SUB ON FFS
still no subs for us….
still no subs for us….
us deluded Gooners conned again by Wenger and AFC! No way are we going to get the TROPHY 4th or have any chance of winning the Premier league with Wenger in charge!FACT!!!!!
faccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccck this!
Great dummy, Sanogo. Now, not even trying to score anymore!
Ramsey been terrible for the start of the season..
If we had a world class striker playing instead of saNOgo, we could’ve been 2-3 goals up.
Ozil plays like hes witout blood, Carzola… mostly predictible, Sanogo… omg, he needs 2 seasson loans beafore first team, Nacho seems beter than last seasson, Debuchy good foward but sagna was beter defensive, anyway Chambers and Alex apsolute 5/5 degree,
If we dont spend 25milion this night we ll probably end forth or five…. again…
Bring Jack and Ox. Take off Sanogo and Ozil/Cazorla. FFS Wenger make something happen. FFFFFSSSSS Clock is ticking.
Jus finish rolling up my weed & still no facking subSMFH
Not able to watch the game, but looking at all your guys comments it’s not that great? Geez 😐
Get use to it, Wenger only sub at 80 min onward.
i have the odd feeling Leicester will score again
Disargree wit that comment
Well, it’s an odd feeling.
ODD you called it.
Wenger doesn’t seem bothered at all! WTF?
90° campbell and ox will enter
We are terrible.. Damn..
Now I know why we got no depth and we like to buy player cos Wenger don’t need subs.
Dont*
Tell me, WHY, WHY no substitutions?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Seriously, who is the best between Sanogo, Torres and Carroll?
I can’t get past his attempted dummy. What self-respecting striker tries a dummy in that kind of position?
Ozil and Cazorla can’t play together..Also Wenger said he’ll only buy quality that is better than what we have, How on earth is Remy worse than Sanogo? Not enjoying watching this lads.. Extremely worrying.
AT LAST
Cazorlas chance at CAM, result performance horrible as usual.
ST, LW, CDM, CB short of challenging for major titles.
HAHAHAHAAH.. 75 min and here some subs. I predicted exactly the same time. 😀
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
We do not need more signings, and you know why??? because wenger (the stubborn one) do not make a simple substitution …. i wonder, even know what meaning the word Substitution??
Why is you’re comment awaiting moderation ?
Wengers classic line we will only but players who will improve the team or are better quality then sanogood, campbell and podolski…..erm surely that cant be hard to find strikers better then them you idiot! We havent played really well since pre season and struggling to score
I dont possess an Economics degree like the Stubborn One but it seems the follwing could work. Whatcha think?
OUT:
Carzola 16M
Poldi 12M
Campbell 10M
IN:
Reus 25M
Carvalho 22M
Cavani 45M
And no I dont play Fifa 2014 like most of you twats! Lol
mother facker whats wrong with playing Fifa.
agreed
yeah
Is wenger trying to burn players to the ground, injuries ?
These guys dont fear us at all.They are making attacking changes
Santi…you’re kidding yourself…even you must know you were crap
this is so pathetic. sorry. we have been horrible this season so far.
I would fine Cazorla for walking off the fcuking pitch!! arrogant cnut
The instruction manual says –
Need a goal in the last 15? Unmuzzle Podolski and send him on
ozil noooooooooooooo
Just made our last two subs and Ozil is injured…
We should sign drinkwater..!!! Seriously drinkwater..
Ozil WANTS NO MORE PART OF THIS GAME, i don’t blame him.
2 of our most dangerous players do get in the game only now in the 75mint. Score a goal Poldi. Do it right in-front of Odd farts Wengers face.
The moment we make all the subs and Ozil goes down..
a St, Cb and Dm is a MUST, but we gonna use them???…. 75 min for take out saNogoals… hilarious… good one wenger
Our midfield is matched be newly promoted side..We didnt need Fabregas..We are great
arsene hates cambel, if I were him, I will ask for a loan.
Wenger OUT!Wenger OUT!
We are just so poor.
I thought this would be easy, walk in the park.
How wrong, cheers Wenger
right?
Utter rubbish,, ozil injured now.
And the clock goes “tiki taka”.
everybody still alive out there?
Stay on your feet god dammit! Never go diving in when you’re short at the back.
Flamini is a dm who cant tackle….wow
I am legitimately SCARED for our match with city in 2 weeks
Wenger can’t stand Campbell..
Do we have to do everything at walking pace??
this is beyond embarrassing.
Wenger ur stupid
I’m worried :/
Sorry to say this but chelski will rape us!
Have all our players except sanchez forgotten how to play football? Mid table stuff today so poor. Tomorrow better bring some good news!!
Wenger in his post match conference : “Sanogo got 75 min. That is what the match was for. He needed it. We need to get him at full fitness.”
SERIOUSLY. WTF. WENGER.
WTF.
sorry for cursing. But it really hurts deep in my heart to see my beloved team playing like this. More like.. ruined.
WENGER OUT!!!
The only person who we must blame is wenger… and do not ask why….
poor tactics, poor selection of player, late substitutions and ZERO signings…..
Arsene do not know best… end off
this is a sick joke… we are terrible. Why do I make fun of united when my own team is the same level of sh*t?
Just end this drivel pisstaking game, i’m hungry, sunday roast is gettin cold for this
fk we are shit top 4 our target wengerout we cant drop points agaist smaller team
Blow the whistle init
I FCUKING HATE YOU WENGER YOU FRENCH THINK STREAK OF PIISS
24 attempts on goal. One goal. but we don’t need a striker. Managers get binned for less sins.
Thumbed down by a true gooner obviously. Vrrrrp
You can’t bring on a rusty Poldi in the 75th minute and expect him to have an impact. Well, that is unless you are Wenger.
Screw you guys…..I’m going home
ha there mugging us off now
Seriously, what in the fu*k is wrong with this team?! Do they know that the season has started or are they still on their holidays. Muppets the lot of them.
Just so sick of everyone other then wenger seeing that we need a striker and he don’t want to sign one ! CNUT !!!
And someone was making fun of spurs. They would have killed this game. We are very bais
The only bright spark today from Arsenal : Scez. Good game Lad 🙂
Well that was shit
11 strangers that are waiting to get home to eat their roast dinners! P*ss poor!
I feel sick, puke over wnger face
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK you wenger
I swear we are going to get humiliated again by the likes of Liverpool, City and Chelsea..
Ramsey has a bad game and the whole team look ordinary…
smh
This isn’t the first time, since the beginning of the season.Ramsey seems to be off.
So Wenger has a 3 years contract! Hmmm.. Just sayin!
Wenger” If Giroud was fit we would have won quadruple”.
We have better strikers than Messi, Ronaldo, Suarez and Costa.
struggled to beat crystal palace, struggled to get a draw against everton and now struggling to get a draw(lower teams) when we meet city daz real trashing we gonna get.
It takes a special manager to fail this horribly. I hate Mourinho with a passion, but he is right about Wenger.
If we carry on line this, spurs will finish above us.
We have so many world class midfielders and we did not need Cesc…
smh.. This lot can’t create a jot..
The start of another 49 unbeaten? Lmao. I dread playing spurs, pool, chelsea, mcity, swansea, villa……..in fact anyone at the moment, we need to wake the fook up!! No signings tmw and I’ll be pis*ed big time!
Leicter could have easily won this game with the better chances they’ve had
No disrespect intended and I love me some Nachos from time 2 time but when Monreal is your best player on the pitch by FAR Arsenal is a mid table squad.
One thing i noticed : When our 7 players are in and around the box, one of our players gets a touch on his back, falls down, and instead of trying to win the ball back cries for a foul. Meanwhile Leicester are away and running on the counter as most of our players are around the box. Cazorla did it thrice i think.
When your goalkeeper is your best player in the match against a newly promoted side, it says a lot about you. LOL
Sanogo is a fking useless moran. Don’t ever want to see him in an Arsenal shirt again. We need a striker. We had the chance to sign Balotelli but Stupid wenger didn’t. fuk wenger and his tactics. SANOGO OUT NOW.
Fu*k Sanogo. He need’s a loan. We are not winning the league. We play like shi*t. Good job wenger. Keep Droping points against crap teams.
We have Ramsey, Cazorla, Ozil, Wilshere etc.. Fabregas is not needed.. Where would a world class player like fit in in our CL and EPL standard midfield?
We can’t create a chance for a lollipop…
smh
Wenger lovers are to blame for AFC downfall, Wenger knows nothing about players or their positions, bloody zonal marking for fk sake! 4th in the league is our trophy nothing else, Champions league is a waste of energy and time, we’ll never win in with Wenger in charge! Our transfer policy is shit, yet we have the richest guy in Britain at our club and yet He’s not on the AFC board, its a fkg disgrace!
Sanchez is an another world compared to the rest of them at the moment. Weren’t the FA cup and community shield supposed to have inspired them and given the confidence? Wenger wrists till 15 left. To bring on Ox and Podolski is a real head scratcher isn’t it. Even Arsene doesn’t seem to have any sense of urgency.
Does anyone feel confident about the game against city in 2 weeks? I’m scared stupid it’s gonna end up like Chelsea last season.
