Flamini in for Arteta. simple. Arteta had his 1 good game in 5, 2 games ago.

If he does come in, who drops out? Dare I say, Ozil?
-----------------------------------------------

Erm, no you may not!

Mikel might need a rest after tonight. He ran himself into the ground for us.

If, if, if Flamini is indeed fit enough to start then it's a tough one indeed.

To be honest, as good as we were tonight, we NEED Flamini.

Sadly, I'd drop Arteta. Another quality performance from him, but there was a couple of occassions we were almost caught cold, most notably after we scored when we got that corner. Flamini doesn't allow shizzle like that.

Difficult. Had the same problem when Arteta came back.

Probably not imo, although Rooney I'm sure will be man marking Arteta, so could be good to have Flamini.

Yet I don't think you can justify dropping anyone out of the midfield.

Difficult.

I can see wenger playing both arteta and flamini, stick ramsey further up

Enough with all this nonsense about Arteta having 1 good game in 5. When Cesc and Nasri left and RVP supposedly carried us to 4th, we didn't win a game when Arteta didn't play all season. He's excellent when fit, had a few poor performances earlier this season after coming back from injury but was our best player vs Liverpool and good again today. So-called fans are so quick to point the finger at our players, it's depressing.

Isn't Walcott back as well? Surely you have to play Flamini. I would have played Arteta if we were at home but away I think Mathieu is the right choice.

It would probably be best not to start Flamini due to not wanting to rush him back. It's s long season and we ding want him to be injured again.

Flamini will come in for Rosicky.

Whatever choice Arsene makes, atleast he'll have an excellent midfielder on the bench.

Fresh legs we need.... so yes back in.

A good problem to have!

That is very likely wizard

Arteta had a solid game, but Flamini is an automatic starter for me.

I'd rest Ozil at OT. We need our big players for big games and not against mid table teams.

Thought ozil and rosicky were 2 of our better in midfield

Arteta starts

Play em both. Let's sort those mancs out

We are of course presuming the Flamster will be ready to start on Sunday...

As far as I know Arsene has only said he has a chance of being ready.

Or have I missed something?

He said Flamini has a good chance, I think he will start. Rosicky won't play 3 games in a week, especially after playing 90 minutes tonight. Rest of the team picks itself.

I just hope our players won't be tired on Sunday. It will be an equally tough game as we know what Man United are like. However this is a very good chance for us to win at old Trafford. Something that hasn't been the case for another of years.

Arteta, Flamini and Ramsey, with Özil and Cazorla out wide then.

Start with Arteta and bring the Flamster on to close out with Monreal
