Nasri Fabregas Rosicky

Walcott Van Persie Arshavin

Almunia just gets the nod ahead of Mannone because of experience.

Now in midfield we have

Fabregas Ramsey Diaby Denilson Song Rosicky Nasri all
competing for 3 places.

Add in that AW may buy another defensive midfielder……..

So, Fran Merida is coming through, who looks like another immaculate
Wenger incubation project, (in fact he may be as good as Fab), and the young man is understandably hesitant to sign a 5 year contract with us.

Van Persi gets the right side because i think this is his most effective postion cutting in from the right onto his left foot, Nicky B gets the middle as he is a good target man as well as being a good non stop whole harted player with a very good amount of skill, AA he can play anywhere he likes from the left hand side he drifts in field and pulls defenders all over the place leaving space for Nasri or Cesc to come into and with the players on the bench we can do serious damage to any team.

i had the misfortune to watch the england match last night. cashley did us proud by giving the ball to their attack and nodding it in on a one – two for an own goal. this is after rio instigated the sending off of the english goalkeeper. capello then compounded this mistake by taking lennon off for david james when he should have taken heskey off.

all the commentators could say was that capello was lucky to get this chance to see his team play with 10 men for almost a whole game.

all the while i was hoping to see some nice flowing arsenal type football. not a chance.

the best match i saw was the 2-2 ireland italy match. at least there were some goals. and at least the irish commentators realised when one of the irish squad had made a mistake and mentioned it.

However, other questions come to mind. Do we have too many players? Cesc, Diaby, Rosicky, Nasri, Ramsey, RvP, AA, Eduardo, Theo, Bendtner, Vela gives us 11 attack minded players for 4, 5 or when the chips are down, 6 positions. Then we have Wilshere and Merida. How can Randall, Barazite and Lansbury hope to break through?

Another problem comes where very good players who are a little older do not get enough game time. Could that happen to Theo? The Lord Wenger seems to like to include a tall player (Diaby or Bendtner) when possible. This helps in defending set pieces. Bendtners inclusion puts pressure on Theo’s place, while playing Diaby will mean that sometimes Rosicky or Nasri will play instead of Theo. Not enough game time equals no world cup!

What about Eboue? He will not be content with the role that the young Gibbs is playing.

It is good that we play twice a week, and we know that we will have injuries and suspensions. Tony, I suggest that if no one were injured, it might create more problems than it would solve.

FOR ME THIS IZ D BEST ARSENAL FORMATION…THE REASON I HAV CHOOSEN ROSICKY OVER NASRI IS BECAUSE ROSICKT IS PLAYIN FREE FLOWIN FUTBOL JUMPIN AROUND ALL OVER THE BALL.NASRI AND WALCOTT CAN BE USED AS SUBSTUTE BCAUSE THEY HAV PACE AND CAN PLAY GOOD MATURE FUTBOL RIGHT AT THE DEPT OF THE GAME.

I was of course trying to find the page with the score for my local club Corby Town, playing in the conference north, but my hand slipped and I found that, oh what a shame, Engerland lost.

But more to the point Switzerland won – and more to the point than that, Senderos scored two.

ARE YOU VERMAELEN IN DISGUISE??????

Quick, change the team, find a way to include Philipe Senderos now!!!

Cesc scored in Armagnac and no one has told me yet that Arshavin is injured. Actually a gushing piece about Cesc on the Guardian website today, worth a read. Ramsey played for the Welsh first team – hopefully he’s ok too.

France currently drawing zero zero with the Falkland Islands. No, hang on that can’t be right. The Aaland islands? Tasmania?

But of course the world won’t know because the world’s eyes are on Liechtenstein playing Azerbaijan. Count Otto von Otto of the Bank of Liechtenstein (which is the name of their Parliament) is there. Plus his dog.

I don’t think one of those teams is “stupid”.
In fact if I’m not mistaken the first team was on the field after 90 minutes at Everton.

I would be satisfied when Arsenal start with one of those teams.

You see I would argue that Eduardo is an amazing poacher, who when playing on the wing, drifts in as VP drifts back, and this causes huge confusion in defences. OK you don’t want him, but a little explanation would be good.
