Official Arsenal vs Manchester City FC Thread

[BLUEMATT23]

Don't agree.
We haven't got a good enough squad to rotate & rest players.
Hughes will play his best fit xi. Also if we don't win the UEFA we need to finish 7th to ensure qualification for the Europa, therefore the suggestion of resting players is silly and naive.

Working on the assumption that most games after international games are flat I'd say 1-1 draw.

 

[Grand Master Ram Rod]

Was gonna wait until after the Internationals but thought I'd do it now and just change it if players get injured, anyway my team:

I've gone for a 4-4-2 with a team of grafters to try and get a point or knick all 3, I've dropped Robinho and Elano as they can't play away from home and also dropped Kompany to the bench to give him an extra few days to be fully fit for Hamburg and replace de Jong.

...................Given...................
Richards...Dunne...Onuoha...Bridge
SWP...Zabaleta...de Jong...Ireland
..........Bellamy.....Bojinov..........

Subs: Hart, Robinho, Elano, Evans, Sturridge, Kompany, Berti.

Arsenal 0 City 1 (Bojinov).

it makes sense really about saving and resting and playing players who will graft, i would go with this team but obviously kompany, elano and robbie can be brought on if needed.

cool.

 

[Rammyblues]

Our line up will depend on injuries after internationals.

Up to now we have been told

SWP not trained
Kompany out of Belgium game
Richards sent home
Boj went to Germany see specialist over hamstring injury.


According to pysio site, no Bridge,


So if these dont make it


Given
Zab
Dunne
Onouha
Garrido / McGivern

De Jong
Ireland
Elano
Robbie
Fernandes (Please no)

Bellamy

 

[quiet_riot]

They're missing Bender, Van Persie and Diaby apparently.

 

[Surrey Blue]

I know its a long shot but has anyone got a ticket for arsenal they need to get rid of at a reasonable cost? If so please PM me. Thanks

 

[simon23]

bentner is no loss considering they will have adebayour and fabregas playing neither of who played in the game at COMS

now this is,nt the team i would play but with players with knocks and players playing in internationals think hughes will try and keep his big guns for the big un on thursday 2-0 arsenal

You are not very bright, are you?

 

[ElanJo]

Good!

I think this is a game that Robinho can play away from home. Arsenal arent scrappers so he should get some time on the ball.

If full strength:

-----------------Given----------------

Richards-----Dunne----Ned------Bridge

-----------Kompany--De Jong----------

SWP------------Ireland----------Robinho

----------------Bellamy----------------

Subs:
Hart
Garrido
Zab
Gelson
Elano
Boj
Sturridge

If all worries are out:

-----------------Hart----------------

Zabaleta-----Dunne----Ned------Garrido

-----------Gelson--De Jong----------

Ireland----------Elano----------Robinho

----------------Bellamy----------------

Subs:
Shmikes
Berti
A youngster
A youngster
Benjani
Boj
Sturridge



If we are full strength, or near abouts, I'm gonna go for a 2-2 draw. Bellers and Ireland

If not, I think we'll lose :(
