Arsenal vs Cardiff. 1st Jan. 15:00

[Marc Overmars]

Going to this, thanks to Gary alerting me when seats became available on TX. Gary. :bow:

Should be a comfortable win really, no excuses not to give them a pumping.

3-0.

[Master Splinter]

I was on a good run with my match threads. :threaten:

I think there'll be quite a bit of rotation here. Dennis will start and probably Monreal, Jenkinson, Podolski too.

Seems injuries are returning, with Ozil, Ramsey and possibly Gibbs dead again. They (and Oxlade) should be back within a few weeks though.

Ozil and Ramsey are definitely out. Wenger will not risk another injury on Giroud and Jack. Feo, TV5 and Monreal are also big doubts but I think they will play their part in this game. :coffee:

[fakeyank]

Must win

3-0. Wenger Hattrick.

[Syn]

Get the feeling they put all their energy into yesterday's game. That last minute equaliser really would've deflated them. They are without a manager and while they'll be up for a fight, a professional attitude should be enough for the 3 points.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

We're yet to unleash one of our seasonal pub team pastings. As such, I have a very strong feeling we'll witness a long overdue thrashing of a minnow here.

6-0.

#COYG :scarf:

[AFC Leveller]

2-0.

Pod, Montreal and Jenks will probably come in as well as Bendtner.

COME ON ARSENAL!

[Injury Time]

We'll wander on to the pitch expecting 3 points, concede one then win 2-1

[fakeyank]

We need to make up the goal difference with city. This race 'could' go down to the wire!

[AFC Leveller]

No way we can get as many goals as they do! they have an average of 4/5 at home and have 4 strikers as well as goal scoring midfielders.

[Penguin]

Yeah no chance of catching up to their goal difference. Just treat it as another point for them and keep grinding out the victories.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Thank god its only Cardiff, because we are shite.

[Marc Overmars]

Yeah no chance of catching up to their goal difference. Just treat it as another point for them and keep grinding out the victories.

I would like us to dish out a thumping though, seems like a long time since we've done that.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Three points will do. I'd prefer to be wildly entertained while getting them, but apparently that is not what impresses pundits these days.

Apparently the key thing is to play absolutely atrocious football nobody really wants to see while somehow scrambling a win.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

3-0

Ozil shitetrick

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Cardiff have been one of the most impressive teams I've watched in a one off game this season.....particularly when they beat City. I was really impressed with them and would prefer them to do well this season.

A thrashing would be nice but I somehow can't see it....but lovely jubbly if we do. Seems a few others have racked up some cricket scores even though we haven't.

Seems a bit of a thing to leave out Ozil twice but we have good options at the moment.


-----------------Szczesny-----------------

My bad. I'm guessing Nemo is actually injured then!

'Tis the stuff of true champions :good:

[PGFC]

My bad. I'm guessing Nemo is actually injured then!

He has a litlle bit 'three week' shoulder injury, expect him back in March.

[Power n Glory]

Giroud's needs a rest. Was very close to injuring himself yesterday. He's off form and needs a bench anyway but he's next in line to pick up an injury. Ozil and Ramsey have picked up injuries and we've said for a while they've needed a rest alongside Giroud.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Gulp...

I watched the game without hearing the pre game build up so I just assumed he was on the bench! I hope it isn't anything like Theo's 'stomach ache'!

[Syn]

inflammed shoulder. The party line is 'maybe a week, maybe less'. He might well be back for this game. But the details about Ramsey's injury are suspiciously vague. No real suggestion of a timeframe so you guess he's the one who might be out for a while.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

I heard 2-4 weeks for Ramsey. I can't recall where I heard it though and consequently cannot gauge how accurate it is.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Giroud's needs a rest. Was very close to injuring himself yesterday. He's off form and needs a bench anyway but he's next in line to pick up an injury. Ozil and Ramsey have picked up injuries and we've said for a while they've needed a rest alongside Giroud.

He looked like he played with an injury yesterday.

He was limping and showing pain on his face when he came out of the tunnel for the second half and he did the same again when he was subbed off.

[Marc Overmars]

The guy has been run into the ground and it's shown in his performances and lack of goals.

[Master Splinter]

Giroud always looks like he's in agony.

I think his lack of goals is down to not being a top-of-the-range striker rather than being knackered. He doesn't exactly have a history of putting lower percentage chances away. He's a good player, but sadly unlikely ever to be a ruthless finisher.

Too much focus is put on our players being close to collapsing. Most top teams play their top players in the majority of games. Ronaldo and Messi play almost every game when available. When Chelsea were at their peak, they played almost the same team in every competition week after week. Wenger has maybe played a few young players (Cisc and Wilshere) too much too soon, but if players like Giroud and Ramsey have great stamina and are not easily injured (which Ramsey hasn't been outside of being almost maimed by a thug) then there's not a problem with them playing so often. Their lack of form can be just that: a lack of form and not because they play a couple of games of football a week. I'm not saying players shouldn't be rested, but too much is made of our players supposedly being run into the ground when stats show that Wenger has rotated as much, if not more, than other top teams. I think we've used more players than City as well, who apparently have the mightiest squad ever assembled.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

I generally agree, particularly where Giroud is concerned.

Yeah, I agree with that. I wouldn't say the chances Giroud's missing are down to fatigue. I'd say that's more down to form because he's missing easy chances. If he wasn't putting himself about and it looked as though he was struggling to run and having long bouts of inactivity, then fair enough. But I'm more worried about him picking up an unnecessary injury. I think Wenger is worried about dropping him because it may effect his confidence. He's scored one now so we'll see if plays against Cardiff.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Ozil is fine.

Wenger is giving him his winter break.

[AFC Leveller]

I think Giroud missing chances is down to two things; he isnt ruthless/clinical and he is knackered. he's been playing up front on his own almost every game for an average of 80 minutes and is bound to feel tired and miss chances (esp late on like against Chelsea). I remember someone asked Henry about the 2-3 one on ones he missed against Barcelona in the CL final and he said "i had no power/energy, my legs were gone" as he played almost 80 minutes on is own. Bearing in mind Henry was much fitter and sharper than Giroud, i think we should cut him some slack.

[Power n Glory]

I remember that and he was mainly tired because we had 10 men and were up against Barca defending hard. He very early before the sending off that he should have buried and can’t blame tiredness for that but he had a one on one early down the right that he couldn’t finish with his left foot after a powering run. I still say he’d have buried that on his stronger side.

Regarding Giroud, it’s hard to say whether accumulated fatigue is having an effect on his striking and that’s what some are arguing. He’s getting to the ball and able to pop a shot off so I wouldn’t think fatigue in the early stages of a match comes into play. Not in the first half at least. Late on in the match it could play a part but if he’s knackered in the first half then something is wrong.

Except giroud hasn't been rotated much at all, played nearly every game and was clearly looking injured after half time.

This wasn't a normal 'giroud looking like he was in agony' he was actually limping when he walked into the pitch.

[KSE Comedy Club]

And giroud is out so could be to do with the knock he picked up in the last game

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We need to save football and give Tan's team a beating tbf.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Apparently Phil Brown is going to be appointed tonight for the game tommorow. He has experience working with a tan.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo was in training today, guess it's a case of if he falls on his shoulder again.

Zelalem is back. :bow:

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Dropping like flies. :unsure:

Give Podolski a game. Somewhere. Even if it's up top.

[Dein-machine]

if we are without the creativity of Ozil & forward runs of Rambo we need all 6 non-defenders to play attacking football, even Arteta if we have to start him. we do not need a defensive midfielder at home to Cardiff, Arteta can drop to pick the ball of the defence but then needs to push on like he used to do for Everton. We will need bodies in & around the area because they'll park the bus.

[Penguin]

We still need a DM to sweep up when they counter, cause that will be their best chance of scoring in open play. Rambo is in a bad run of form so I'm not too worried about losing him and we should be Ok with Santi or Rosicky covering for Ozil again.

[JonasTC]

With all the injuries we might see Wenger mix things up a bit, maybe some Gnabry-action or a 5min cameo from Zelalem

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Not a chance Zelalem will take to the field.

[Özim]

Kinda glad Giroud is injured, it's been frustrating having a forward who offers little or no threat in front of goal and spurs most of the chances he does get. Hopefully Podolski or Bendtner will be an improvement, because let's face it if Giroud hadn't got an injury he would have kept his place regardless of what he did.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Podolski has always been a bit poor when he's lead the line up front on his own. And Bendtner ....... the less said the better.

Despite not being at his best the last few weeks, it's foolish to think that losing Giroud is anything other than a massive blow to us given our current resources.

Podolski


Got a bad feeling Wenger will start Bendtner ahead of Podolski though. Anyway, will take a scrappy 1 - 0 of Jack's arse given our injury situation.

[Alpha]

How starting Bendtner is a bad feeling ? If Giroud is injured , the only player who is close to his physical ability is Bendtner . Fans should learn to like him and support him as long as he is pulling an Arsenal jersey .

[Munchies]

Bendnter offers no runs upfront, you have to spam 100s of crosses in the hope he's near it .

Giroud, whilst not as prolific as we need is far better, holds the ball up well and links play.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I'm at the game so will provide support. It doesn't mean I'm not fucking embarrassed that the useless lazy narcissistic scrote still wears our shirt.

[GP]

Pretty sure he'll be on the bench.

[Munchies]

Early team news, he's on the bench . Pods starting then I guess

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Not sure why we have to like Bendtner. He's pretty much pledged to never play for us again before basically admitting he's only putting a shift in to make absolute sure he secures his best move away from us.

I don't begrudge him the latter but it is an arrangement of convenience and necessity and nothing more.

Bendtner doesn't play for the shirt anymore. He's playing to try and justify his excessive wage demands.

Good movement by Theo but this time Arteta overhits the ball over the top to him

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo on the volley but wide.

[Munchies]

ooo close from Feo

[Penguin]

Great ball by Wilshere but poor contact by Theo... side netting

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to us, dangerous area.

Flamini. :bow:

[Munchies]

good buildup from Santi there, FK to us

[Penguin]

Sagna walks up to take it :lol:

...straight at the wall. What a waste <_<

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sagna hits the wall. :lol:

[Munchies]

why is Sagna taking FKs ? :lol:

Let Pods !

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla. :cloud9:

[Master Splinter]

That was a terrible cross.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla shoots but wide. Way wide.

[Penguin]

Better from us, good strike from Cazorla with his left but it drifts wide

[mkkreuk]

Cazorla shoots just wide.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dull.

[Penguin]

:yawn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wilshere goes down, nothing given.

[Munchies]

clear pen ffs !!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Theo.

[LDG]

Another nailed on pen not given. Fucking joke.

[Penguin]

Wilshere goes down like a sack of spuds. No contact but he did impede Wilshere... penalty? :unsure:

Good play from Theo but shoots over

[Master Splinter]

Another nailed on pen not given. Fucking joke.

Stop complaining about refs who are standing two metres away from the action and get the decision horrendously wrong.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BFG. Eek.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We're tempting Cardiff to put one in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What the hell? :haha:

[Munchies]

Stop complaining about refs who are standing two metres away from the action and get the decision horrendously wrong.

He's a fucking fat useless cunt . Fucking bastard. Clear pen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo shoots but wide. :banghead:

[KSE Comedy Club]

What was mertz booked for?

[Penguin]

Lovely footwork from Santi :cloud9:

Wasted by Theo

[JonasTC]

Can our players pls start hitting the goal when they shoot? :s

[LDG]

Fat fucking cunt that ref.

[mkkreuk]

What was mertz booked for?

Pulled back Campbell.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good play Wheelchair, shot charged down.

[Zak]

No need for Arteta and Flamini for this game.

Should have given Gnabry a start at LW and put Cazorla in the middle.

[Globalgunner]

Looks like Wilshere trod on the ball and went down. Not sure it was a pen

We are not playing well btw

[Power n Glory]

No need for Arteta and Flamini for this game.

Should have given Gnabry a start at LW and put Cazorla in the middle.

Exactly what I thought when I saw the line up!

Arteta/Flamini have never played well together.

[JonasTC]

Thats 4 clear pens we havent been given in the last 5 games :s

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Noone. :lol:

I don't really like Flamini being so high up the field, he isn't good enough on the ball.

[Munchies]

Solsjkaer ... fuck it I'm off :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gah Theo and Poldi. Shoot!

[Penguin]

Podolski plays too slow. More one touch stuff please!

[LDG]

Bollocks

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT. That wasn't much fun.

[GP]

Not great but should easily be leading.

Theo has been very wasteful.

[Munchies]

Crap half.

Fucking fat cunt ref doesn't give a clear pen.

[Niall_Quinn]

All pitter patter and zero threat. Second gear. But should nick it. Podolski to batter one in.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Shite

[Globalgunner]

You have to admire our philosophy of , if it doesn't work for the millionth time, just keep doing the same thing.

[Master Splinter]

Poor decisions and finishing in the final third by everyone. Should be 3-0 up.

Flamini has been woeful. There's no need for him when we have most of the ball anyway, so get Gnabry on.

Wilshere having a really good game today.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Why are we playing 2 DM's at home against a newly promoted team?

[LDG]

Early season we made use of the width of the pitch, and got the ball out to the wings so much quicker. There's acres out there being wasted by this constant need to cut back inside and play square along the line.

[Zak]

Cardiff creating a few good opportunities on the break. We need to change something at half time.

Our full backs are useless at attacking. They just turn back and pass it into midfield on so many occasions.

[Munchies]

0 shots on target against Cardiff at home in that half

:lol:

[Penguin]

Wilshere had a good half, hungry for the ball and driving us forward. Unlucky not to win a penalty too. Theo wasted several opportunities and didn't even hit them on target to test their goalkeeper.

The tempo of our play was poor. Snails pace. There's no urgency at all but I expect that to change after the break.

[JonasTC]

I still think we'll get a couple of goals, theese bottom table teams always fights their ass off, but when they start getting tired in the end, thats when we usually punish them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scuffed outside of the boot pass from Wilshere.

[Slacker]

We sometimes struggle against struggling teams in pub game weather - it's a big leveller. This ref concerns me - he's given every 50/50 to them and has let a few things go where they've clearly fouled our guys but when the boot's on the other foot he's got a hair trigger whistle. As someone said earlier Merts is a good punt for an early shower. They will be playing on that and the ref will be on their side. I hope we can get our shit together early and get out of the blocks with a goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sagna hits it, wide. Should have left it for Cazorla, not that it'd have been easy for him to score.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Why as wrong with wilshere? He seems so off the pace.

[LDG]

No fucker bought their shooting boots. Fucksake

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Unleash the hammer, Poldi!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poldi scuffer. Corner.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Poldi's getting swamped everytime he wants to shoot.

He's no good as a central striker

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save from Monreal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Turner booked. Run at him!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BFG the auxilliary striker. :bow:

[Penguin]

Theo :bow:

Poldi and Theo both miss it. :doh:

ffs

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Marshall booked for wasting time.

Who's on our bench?

[Munchies]

BFG ?!?!?

WTF

Wilshere's best game of the season probably.

Just the finish missing to our moves.

Fuckin hell boys. This is shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BFG free header, wide.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Bendtner and Rosicky on.

Come on Arsenal :pray:

what?....Bendtner on for Podolski?....is Wenger mentally ill?

[Master Splinter]

BFG :doh:.

ffs, thought that was going in :(

[Penguin]

Powerful header from Mertesacker just wide. Come on! :(

Visions of CSKA coming back.

[Penguin]

Merts wide again, off the outside of the post this time. He can't believe he's missed, head in his hands

[Munchies]

That hit the post on replay

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Pods has been a bit shite tbf

difference between having a shit game and being shit....Bendtner is the latter

[KSE Comedy Club]

Pods has been a bit shite tbf

Not his fault tbh.

1. He can't play as a central striker on his own, he's better coming in from out wide.
2. Everyone seems to keep wanting him to lay the ball off for them to shoot instead of setting him up.

[JonasTC]

Have we hit the goal yet?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wilshere. :lol:

[Munchies]

Tbf to Bednter he's playing decent so far

[gunnerrrrr]

did i read that right...1 shot on target from us all game!?!?!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla with a deflected shot, Marshall saves.

[Penguin]

did i read that right...1 shot on target from us all game!?!?!

It's not for the lack of chances. We've been so wasteful today.

[Munchies]

Arsenal: 16 attempts, 1 on target, 0 goals.

:haha: Dreadful

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to us.

Come on. :pray:

[Munchies]

Wilshere has been the best player for us.

Gets a FK in a good spot

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo chips it over.

Cardiff looking more likely to score than us. We are shite and suicidal

[KSE Comedy Club]

This is incredibly frustrating.

Cardiff have been pretty good defensively but we are shite up front.

Too much passing in and around the 6 yard box again. We need to be a lot sharper than this ffs.
