Szczesny

Sagna --- Koscielny --- Vermaelen --- Gibbs

Song --- Ramsey

Walcott --- Arshavin --- Gervinho

Bendtner

I think this line up looks deadly and I think Arshavin will do some damages for sure. I like our chances now.

Looks like bendtner might stay...?

I am really happy about this. with all the players we are losing this is great news. I never wanted him to leave in the first place anyways.

I'd doubt he'll start since that will make him cup-tied... I'd say he will be on the bench and will play if needed.

he could still leave.... Wenger said if he finds the right club for him he can leave

Bendtner isn't going to start the game, regarldess. The only football he's played all pre-season is a few minutes for Denmark. He's not ready to play just yet.

I still feel Bendy can be a great striker, in a year or two, given he gets enough games IN HIS POSITION by then.. Not the winger crap.. Tbh, I don't want him to leave, I want him to stay and fight for his place and target 30 starts for this season, which isn't asking too much considering our injury woes and Chamakh's current form..

Vela has to go on one last loan.. But a good one, which will see him get first team football every week.. No doubting his potential and talent and technical skills, but he still needs the game time before he can lead our line..

I know Bendnter wont might not even play, I just hope he takes part in the game, we need him.

Yeah, id rather have bendy start over chamakh

He should be able to take part in the game I am sure he has been practicing and Wenger would bring him in if we need him.

If Bendnter stays then Vela should go on a loan again.

Hope we start a midfield of Frimpong, Song and Ramsey.
Frimpong needs to get some confidence before our next match, give Song a box to box roll and give Ramsey some creative freedom. Rosicky can come on for last 30, he didn't do enough for me vs Newcastle.

The game is in 3 hours right? I have been trying all day to leave work early. I can watch the first half at work but will miss the second half.

That would be too defensive which is good too but i want to see arshavin play behind the striker. I think he'll do good there.

I'm waiting to see AA23 in the Fab role ...

i Think we all are excited and I hope he can show some magic, we all know what he is capable of doing.

Just can't wait 2 see the game ... a brilliant chance to show everyone's what asn can do...no matter if!!!

It will be good to see Arshavin in the Cesc Role. Shame about Rosicky picking up a knock.

~ 1 hour and 30 minutes I believe

I can't wait !

A bit off topic but I guess this was expected

Its unfair that Barton didnt get ban but oh well iam getting used to it now. This is just the begining.
