Cazorla has played alot of 90 mins games for club and country he looks tired likewise with Podolski who's carrying a niggling injury
With Caants like Melo, Tbok and Pete around, i don't think RVP should have any respect for them!
Kieran Gibbs could be back which will be a big plus. I gotta say Sagna was very good on Saturday and Jack Wilshere was our best player
.............................
These are the reasons I have some optimism. If Santos plays, Valencia will have a field day.
-------------
What will Gibbs's fitness be like? I can see Rafael and Valencia running up and down the right flank. One good thing is that Podolski tracks back a lot but I hear his stamina isnt great.
Can you please play Arshavin?

if crawley and exeter and palace and get a result or nearly get one against United then no reason we can't.
Basically, if Gibbs is unfit, we're focked.

Could see Vermaelen play at LB or Sagna with Jenkinson on the right
We have to play Koscielny I have been disappointed with Vermaelen he's not the player he was in his first season all those injuries have affected him
Mertesacker and Koscielny is our best partnership
He has not been out for a long period. So should not be too bad. 75% Gibbs is better than 100% Santos.
-----------------
If Podolski is carrying an injury who will replace him? Do you think Arsene might give Arshavin a chance?

Podolski offered Santos no cover of any kind against Schalke. If the same happens on Saturday, we'll be ripped to shreds down that side.

Gibbs is back in training should be fit for Saturday
Likewise with Szczesny we need him in goal, I have watched Vito Mannone live the guy does not talk/communicate with our defenders he has no confidence and his distribution is awful
Mertesacker and Koscielny is our best partnership
---------------
In theory but I don't think they've played together this season. Koscielny has not picked up where he left off before the summer and Mertesacker looks like a completely different player compared to last season.
With that in mind, it's hard to say they are our best defensive duo.
whats your prediction Lady

When iv seen him play he does perhaps he is getting tired with the pace of the league.
HNIC, Santos is fat, positionally clueless and a defensive liability. The only thing going for him is that he can hit the ball.

He's just not a left back.
Left winger, maybe but definitely not a defender.
Is Santos really that bad? Iv not seen him play so i can only go by what you fans see but I know hes like 29 so he should be in his peak.

Ok, so Wenger is tactically clueless and no matter what players are on the pitch, Fergie will still have Wenger in his pocket and win.
