Arsenal v Swansea LIVE**

Kick-off at the Emirates is at 3pm.



Early #AFC team news; Giroud & Ramsey set to be rested, Gervinho & Podolski start - http://bit.ly/TsqTHv

Hoping Coq gets the nod over Arteta (who has looked jaded in recent weeks)
and that Santos gets nowhere near the pitch.

Think we'll see:

Szczesny - Jenkinson Mertesacker Vermaelen Gibbs - Arteta Wilshere - Walcott Cazorla Podolski - Gervinho

Sbs - Mannone Djourou Coquelin Ramsey Oxlade-Chamberlain Arshavin Giroud

(Think Rosicky being saved for Olympiacos / reserve game on Monday )

Team news imminent

Squillaci's last appearance for Arsenal came on February 18th earlier this year against Sunderland in the FA Cup. On bench today.

Swansea: Tremmel, Rangel, Williams (c), Chico, Davies, Britton, de Guzman, Ki, Dyer, Michu, Shechter.

No Routledge or Pablo for Swansea today - Israeli forward Etey Shechter starts, on loan from Kaiserslautern this season

GET IN THERE ARSENALLLL

good team!

Still no Coquuelin but all in all I'm satisfied with the line-up.

If we weren't in a slump I would be fairly confident of wiping the floor with them, but it's never that easy with Arsenal.

COYG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

link to arsenal game please?

Not really impressed

Bleep
swans keep it better

WE need another striker, Gervinho doesn't cut it.

Blehh, if we had Giroud on the end of those crosses...

We had some patches where we looked threatening but this just isn't enough for a club of our stature.

Less Gervinho please.

First half ratings:

Poor. Really poor.

Szczesney: 7 Not much to do but made a great double save early on.
Gibbs: Looks drunk: 4
Vermy: Looks like he's back: 7
Merty: 6
Jenks: Positive but lacking ability: 6
Arteta: Slow: 5
Wilshere: Gash. Total gash. Love him but he's been poor lately: 4
Cazorla: 5
Poldi: Went up front and got no service so we don't know how he'll play for us up there yet: 5
Walcott: Wake up: 4
Gervinho: Dreadful: 3.5

Bring on Giroud for Gervinho. Walcott+ Gervinho= chances. Swansea have bossed us and we are lucky to be 0-0.

My team talk would consist of me going into the dressing room with a massive fish and slapping them about the face with it screaming ''WAKE UP!''

I am happy that atleast we are pressing hard and trying something.. unlike the previous matches..
Please throw Gervinho out..
Btw.. Lots of boos in Emirates.. Each backpass met with booing...

Bring Giroud and Rosicky (is he even available?) on and hope for the best.

lol I don't understand all the crosses with no Giroud.

Getting some more bite in the 2nd half.

Clattenburg is shite.

Playing like the walking dead for 60 minutes, still no substitutions. :wenger:

Tomas Rosicky come back, the only bright spot in otherwise dull match. And yes, Swansea deserve a win

we suck

I rest my case

I'm sorry but we made Michu looks like *bleep* Messi. wtf Jenkinson doing

Just handed Swansea the 2nd goal out of absolutely nothing. This is fecking pathetic. This whole season is pathetic. This is not Arsenal.
