Arsenal V Blackburn | FA Cup 16/02/2013

[Trina]

[Arsenal Tone]

Need to rest a few people for this one

[yosifun]

Poldi and Ox this time please.

[Massa]

Bayern 3 days after.

Szczesny
Yennaris Mertesacker Sagna Monreal
Coquelin Ramsey
Chamberlain Rosicky Podolski
Giroud

I want Rosicky to play vs Bayern but that wont happen. Otherwise I'd play Arteta for this game

[GSK_AFC]

Sagna needs rest, he played the international game and a gruelling game yesterday.
Poldi didn't play yesterday so I would give him a game to get some momentum for the Bayern game. hopefully Wenger plays Poldi as striker and not Gervinho

Szczesny
Yennaris Koscielny Miquel Monreal
Coquelin Ramsey
Chamberlain Rosicky Gervinho
Podolski

Gerv will surely feature

I bet he'll play well too...

[Royal Gooner]

Rest a lot of the 1st team (especially Jack!) to save them for the germans. This is a lower league team at home so we'll win as long as the team do their jobs.

Chez
Yennaris Miquel Kos* Santos
Diaby Rosicky
Ramsey
Gervinho Poldi Chamberlain

Not sure if Koscielny is fit for this?

[Reverend Gooner]

I don't want us to rest the whole team and if we do rest a lot I want a really string bench. I want the FA Cup this year, more than ever.

[Arsenal Tone]

I bet Gervinho plays up front

[Arsenal Tone]

Isn't Yennaris injured?

[Always_a_gooner]

This is where having djourou would be beneficial instead we are forced to play important players in the one area we have alot of injuries

[Zenith]

With the Bayern game only 3 days after the BB game i'd like to see a few players rested/benched.

Mannone
Jenkinson Koscielny Mertesacker Monreal
Coquelin ... Diaby
Gervinho ..... Rosicky ..... The Ox
Giroud

Bench: Szczesny, Vermaelen (if fit), Miquel, Yennaris (if fit, not fit=Gnabry or Eisfeld), Ramsey, Podolski, Walcott

A reasonably strong bench could be crucial in this game.

[ivan itchybum]

Isn't Yennaris injured?

God i hope not. I'd prefer to see Sagna rested...

edit: Just remembered Bellerin. He's been very good in the reserves and I wouldn't be surprised to see him playing here. Meant to be a very good RB.
