You really forget podolski is even on the pitch, him and especially vermaelen need to sit out for the next game.

I don't know how Podolski is still starting games on the left, play him through the centre and see how he gets on

Arshavin, Walcott and even Chamakh can not do any worse than our current 'strike force'.

Podolski is not a left winger. He can play there, in the same way Arshavin can play left wing, but he is not a left winger.

Why can't we play 4-4-2 for once? And drop Vermaelen, he's making far too many mistakes.

Line up for Fulham:

Mannone

Sagna Mertesacker Koscielny Santos
Walcott Arteta Cazorla Walcott
Podolski Giroud

Yeah well done to Mannone, he showed us he's not just the Italian Fabianksi. Good mental strength shown by him. For a third choice to perform well at OT, it deserves an

I agree that Arshavin deserves to start. Team selection will be very interesting for Tuesday night. Could set the tone for the rest of the season.

Podolski was garbage, as bad as Walcott's worst level.

Arshavin looked lively.

4-4-2 fluid diamond like utd have been experimenting with:

.........................szenzsny

Sagan......mert.............verm........Gibbs

..........................arteta

Cazorla...............................wilshere

........................Arshavin

............Walcott.............giroud

Arshavin deserves a chance. Been good coming off the bench in the last two games.

I gotta say aswell, Podolski is so anonymous during games that its not even funny anymore.

We actually started playing football when Arshavin came on. I'm fully in the Arshavin camp now, I love being fickle.

ABA (Anyone But Arshavin) fanboys will point out he got booked after 30seconds of coming on and say he's a liability, even though he showed more fight and instinct to get forward than Podolski and any other of our so-called attacking players

Wenger is too stubborn to experiment though

Forget Fulham, we have our most difficult game of the season coming up on tuesday. Away to an inform German side. Is Draxler back for them? If he is it could get ugly down the left hand side.

Spot on Dog.

Podolski really is the 'invisible' man and has been like that throughout his career.

It's absolutely baffling how Arshavin doesn't get more game time when you consider how crap our forward line this.

I am usually against arshavin but you can't do any worse than podolski and ramsey.

Also I'm noticing that Arshavin is putting in the effort in games now, he looks hungry.

I thought Podolski might flop before he arrived. I am worried it might be the case.

Atleast you admit it

The least he deserves is a chance, when he has been given chances in the league cup he has taken them, might aswell give him a go with the first team.

Podolski was poor again, he's gone off the boil, invisible. Stopped with the effort

You deserve a medal

I wonder how Dubbed will defend Podolski now? Absolute dog$hite

Oh yeah, he's banned

The fact that Arshavin chased back and got booked for a hard tackle sums up the effort he is putting in compared to before - he also looks pretty fit now
