He's actually been fit for a bit, we just didn't risk him to avoid aggravating the injury against Palace. I thought our injury problems were a lot worse than they actually are, but looking at it, only 2 key players have long term injuries Ramsey (a month) and Walcott (his season is over). Diaby, Kallstrom, Sanogo were going to do fuck all for our season.

I wouldn't risk Ox. We have United a few days later so that team won't work for me. Either Gnabry or Rosciky on that wing, not the Ox.
Risk him? Against what, Cissokho? That guy wouldn't tackle a training cone. Ox would be free to jog up and down the left all game with no fear of injury.
Surely Anfield away is the more important game? Liverpool have been far more dangerous and we'll need goals where we can get them. I'm more worried about L'Pool than I am of United.
Ox is going to start. Book it.
Then Wilshere shouldn't start. Typical Arsenal though, player has a great game in midfield so move them to the wing when another midfielder comes in. We done it with Ramsey when Arteta/Flamini played, done it with Wilshere when Flamini/Ramsey played and now Ox's turn.
Problem with this is breakdown and quality of performance from midfield to wing. Ramsey and Wilshere didn't make the transition well, so we'll see about Ox. We know what we'll get from Rosciky there though so I prefer that option.
I had a big wall of text describing my absolute hate for Carlo Ancelotti. but I decided I will keep it short.
You can gift Carlo Ancelloti either Heynckes treble winning bayern team or Guardiola's farsa, and Carlo will find a way to have said team play like AVB's tottenham or stoke. Absolute clueless, fraud of a coach. Still pissed he is still our coach. Still pissed how his old habits never die. Complacent fuck.
what triggered this angry post? Carlo Ancelotti's postgame conference from last game.
what he says tells me he saw a completely different game from what I saw and didn't understand what went wrong or even right. this fucking guy. this bloody fraud.
I eagerly await the day he gets the sack.

Champion in Italy, double winner in his first season in England. Champion in France. Two time champions league winner from three finals. A midfield general on one of the greateat European teams ever.
Those are Ancelotti credentials, what are yours?
Well, given his complaint is mostly related to a boring, defensive style of play I'm sure clean sheets doesn't really concern him.
Furthermore, why would you ever expect sanity a club like Real Madrid?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST PLAYER IN THE MOTHER EARTH

gosh hes getting old ;_;
Tevez and Neymar too!
pretty much.
Carlo won't criticize his team in public, but he'll give them an earful behind the scenes.
Ox is far superior on the wing compared to Wilshere or Ramsey.

Have you at all considered the possibility that he saw the game correctly and you didn't?

queu ignorant FootyGAF post about Madrid #469
more balanced set up =/= boring, defensive style of play
Is Madrid sitting at the back with a bus? No.
Is Madrid Stoking it up? Nope.
Madrid is attempting a more possession based play so A) we don't look like headless chickens when a counter of ours goes wrong and B) have a viable strategy when teams sit deep at the back and we have no way of countering them, thus we must do something else
Furthermore, why should I expect an intelligent and reasoned post about RMadrid from the average FootyGAF member?
:'(

I really don't know how the reports make me feel. His goal scoring rexord for Milan has ben overrated. It feels like half of those goals are penalties.
Is he a better player and finisher than Giroud? Eithout question.
Will he work in our system where he is expectes to be a provider as well as a scorer? I don't know. My biggest fear is that he will disrupt El Shaz progresdion because he is too selfish. If he comes to Arsenal will he continue to hold up play and wait for the foul or will he look for the pass for one of our onrushing midfielders. I haven't watched him that much this year so I don't know if he has changed.

Swansea are dumb.
Fair enough they've not been as good this year but they haven't got the size of squad they need for a full Prem campaign and Europa league.

He's also our only back up midfielder for 2 mths and just come back from injury himself. No Ramsey until the end of march.
We have wingers, don't need to play him there
Agreed! Can't believe Germany got beaten by him. I blame Hummels.

Happy Almost Adnan day!!
I can't think who that is. It's too early.
So because I was born late I didn't get to become a professional footballer. Nothing to do with me not being good enough or anything.

I still don't rate Mario, he's too inconsistent to be called WC/great.
Oh please

Maybe in Brazil

Italy > Germany in WC wins though
Real has more CL wins than Bayern too, yet you are light years away from actually being a competitor to us.
