21/02/15 | Crystal Palace 1-2 Arsenal | Premier League

Koscielny needs as much rest as possible. This achilles injury isn't just going to go away.

Injuries do pass, he isn't injured for life, I didn't even think he was injured anyway?

With his injury it's a chronic one. He'd need 4-6 months of complete rest in order to recover without surgery is my guess.

He requires surgery on his achillies NOW, but chose to stave off the operation as we were/are in desperate need of his presence.

We should rest him whenever possible because by rights he shouldn't even be playing. He's putting the team before himself all the while risking severe injury. Warrior.

Yeah, as soon as we play our last game he should be in the hospital. It's still baffling how Wenger knew he had this problem at the start of the season but continued to not buy a CB.

we should have this easily. 3-1 to Arsenal. Palace not good. Arsenal much better than Palace.

Just because we are better doesn't come into it when we are away from home. See Leicester, Stoke, Southampton, Swansea, Everton, Spurs and any other crap team we've dropped points away this season. Will be tough, do expect us to pull it out though, not "easily".

[Deep Tech Goon]

Will win "easily".

4-0

[Cripps]

Bellerin a doubt for this.

[Callum]

Bellerin a doubt for this.

Not too upset. Chambers has been decent recently and could do with a game.

[Va-Va-Voom]

Bellerin a doubt for this.

Not good. Bolasie and Gayle are both pacy and tricky, Chambers is too immobile.

[Fas91]

True, Gabriel at RB!

[Cripps]

There is good news.

Jack is fine.

Yay

[Losmeister]

i know i am just a yank and new here... but THIS is spot on. well done m8

[Losmeister]

True, Gabriel at RB!

he's played the position. i agree.

[JordanTheGunner]

Play Chambers, don't get Gabriel used to wide positions, we'll need him in the centre.

[Bionic Mosquito]

No problem with Chambers, he 's a better player than people are giving him credit for. He started the season well at CB and was moved about RB, CB and was overplayed for a 19 yr old, not surprising it affected his form. If Gabriel plays it should be to rest Kos.

[Danskin]

According to Wenger, Jack will be in the squad, Bellerín will have a test (he's in the training pics which is a good sign), Ramsey will be out for 10 more days and Oxlade-Chamberlain is back in full training but is a bit short for this match.
