Arsenal: Mannone, Jenkinson, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Gibbs, Diaby, Arteta, Cazorla, Ramsey, Gervinho, Podolski.

So No Vermaelan as reported!

We have the stronger team.

He had 2 weeks without a match during international break. He will get a rest midweek against villa.

Hate to say I told you so! ;)

Then he should have been rested elsewhere not against one of the best footballing sides we will play,poor decision by Mancini.

Unfortunately it isn't possible to rearrange a midweek champions league fixture. We've got aguero and dzeko up front and he's still on the bench if needed. This is why having such strength in depth is important. We may not win and the knives will be out but that's what mancini gets paid for

What must Milner be thinking, can't even get on the bench lately despite starting for England. Not sure if it says more about Milner, Mancini's view of him, or of England.

Tevez out, Sinclair in?? Seriously why?

Yaya clearly showed against Madrid that playing further up is his best position, what is the point in waitin until 70 mins to change it around, do it from the start!

It is a good team we have put out but not entirely happy.

He's not only being wasted further down, he's not great defensively. So you are hurting him and the team by playing him deep

Milner isn't good enough to start but i agree he's an excellent option from the bench.

It sounds like most of you havent heard this before... but the word is R-O-T-A-T-I-O-N

 

[Bluestones]

As long as Leadboots Barry is not starting I am happy.
