The players seem to be in good spirits.
Sunderland vs Arsenal Saturday 25th

"I consider every Premier League game winnable but every game can also be a danger. You win the games by producing the best performance you can and that’s what we have to do. I believe that last year we were very consistent against teams [like Sunderland] so let’s be inspired by that." - Arsène Wenger wrote:

A must win game for us and we should be wary of Sunderland backlash after they were humiliated 8-0 last weekend. I think this game could go either way and if they score early it will be a long game for us, since we struggle to create chances.

Final Thought.
No more embarrassment, We need a a big win against Sunderland anything less than 3 points would be a failure. Sunderland will defend for their lives we must punish them.

Raptor Great work


Sunderland will be lose on confidence, but they will also be wanting to prove everyone wrong and say that the southampton result was a one off. So it's a dangerous situation.

We should be winning this. But I said that against Hull and Anderlecth too lol. So I'll say that we will find it very difficult. Stadium of Light isn't a good ground for us. We always underperform there while we are already underperforming these days.

But I hope the team picked themselves up after the end to the last game which should give them a boost in morale.

Arteta-Ramsey-Cazorla midfield

Sanchez----Welbeck----Podolski front three.

We'll do this.

Rapz

Not much to say really. We should be winning this, but will probably make hard work of it if we actually do win it for starters.

I really hope Wenegr rewards Podolski for his winning goal by giving him a start. I knows its hard for Wenger but I just want to see 11 players take the pitch in their natural positions.

I think Wenger should start giving Coquelin minutes, Flamini is a mistake and not helping at all.

Arteta is fit now though. So no need for Coquelin nor Flamini.
