the latter paired with slight injuries it seems. It’s also probably for the best as we shouldn’t be risking any of the players to miss all season.
Having said that I think people should also keep in mind that Liverpool’s starting team isn’t going to be too great either and that if we want to rely on any of the guys playing they should be able to do a job, even under difficult circumstances.
Lets remember also these lineups we are anticipating are not taking into account the likely injuries we will suffer in pre season games in the next 3 weeks.
Wilshere, Chamberlain and Iwobi almost certainly start with those injuries. The toss up is Elneny or Coquelin. Asano might get a start if he isn’t playing Olympics. Who knows we might actually sign someone.
We should just play Giroud, we’ll have another striker in by the time the window closes anyway. If we don’t the season is a write off and fuck everything.
Can someone enlighten me as to why Wenger thinks it is a good idea to spot any rivals points to start a season?
Hey, I guess that we can hope for a thrashing versus Liverpool with the Carling Cup lineup he’ll be trotting out there and then Leicester too, so he’ll be forced into some panic buys.
Why would Ozil and Sanchez sign a new contract with Arsenal? Given another summer of just keeping the cash in the bank, I’d move on to a club interested in competing for something other than 4th place.
Wenger’s views on player rotation are wank. He’ll say that Ozil/Sanzhez are out and won’t play but then come game day there they will be on the bench. If we’re behind in the 70th minute he’ll throw them on in desperation.
