Jack again is an absolute suprise to me. We will suffer.

Monreal is better equipped to deal with Pienaar than Gibbs is
=============
Pienaar is left sided for Everton.

Sorry, Mirallas then. Whoever our lb would be up against, I trust Monreal more than Gibbs.

"Sure Podolski and Rosicky are on the bench but now we are basically complaining about playing Wilshere and Walcott...my god"

Wilshere is not fit and Walcott should start, it is Giroud who should be dropped.

What an awful team

How do people know Jack isn't fit? Does anyone on here attend Arsenal training sessions?

Happy with defence, glad Mert has been put back in with Kos. Very surprised he's started with Wilshere, was very off the pace on Saturday, just didn't seem 100%. Plus him in the middle with Santi out wide doesn't work as well as Santi and Rosicky. Everything else is as expected. Hopefully Jack is back on his game and helps us get the 3 points.

He's clearly not match fit Kamran, and is off the pace

The same way you claimed Poldi isn't. Hypocrite.

Wilshere was given extra time to recover from his injury. He was a little rusty on Saturday, but he needs time on the pitch.

Kamran, Wenger said he rushed Wilshere back too early. He isn't going to get up to full fitness in the space of a couple of days, if he wasn't fit on Saturday.

How is Rosicky not starting this season.

A player in form, scored a few recently and makes us tick

You can only get match fit by playing matches. He's physically fit enough clearly, otherwise Wenger wouldn't play him.

Fit or not wilshere shouldn't be in this team, poor from wenger

Starting this game I meant

Ross Barkley to start......massive gamble or inspired selection!

Wilshere in the middle and Cazorla out wide

Really? Link?

To be fair, we don't know whether Rosicky is 100% either. Disappointed no Podolski starting, however.

It's not so much fitness I think. More that he's 'lacking a little sharpness' as Wenger may say.

Everton: Howard, Baines, Gibson, Jagielka, Mirallas, Distin, Barkley, Pienaar, Coleman, Fellaini, Anichebe (Subs: Mucha, Heitinga, Jelavic, Oviedo, Naismith, Hitzlsperger, Neville)

"I rushed Jack back a bit. He was not completely ready," Wenger said ahead of Tuesday's match with Everton.

Fair enough Samir. Not sure what Arsene is thinking there. Weird move.
