I wouldn't mind if sterling played central again us. Guy is a nuisance out wide and always beats his man.
Far more controllable through the middle so I would keep Mertesacker.
We are not going to play the pressing game so not an issue
My preference is Sterling behind a striker like last season
out wide he's less of a direct threat and has to waste half his time defending
Have to start gibbs in this game. Nacho won't have the legs to keep up with ibe or Sterling
Anyone know whether Ox is going to be fit?
Apparently wilshere, arteta and debuchy should be in the squad
Ibe's been injured
Not sure if he's back yet
Lucas has been a big miss (arguably our biggest IMO) as well
To be fair, the last few times we have faced pool, we have pretty much our whole squad decimated with injuries

...and Gibbs not the right positioning.
The Ox could be back for Liverpool as well as Wilshere, Debuchy and Arteta. If the Ox not making this game than one week later according to the Daily Fail.
Really want walcott to start v pool
Pretty fed up watching Welbeck out wide

Apparently a fully fit squad other than Diaby ofcourse
Sterlings best performances for us have been in this false 9 position and to be honest since Sturridge has been back we have lost our flow. Sturridge work rate is probably marginally higher than Balotelli, it is a bit of myth that he works hard.
Only issue with Sterling as a number 9 is his finishing. We will defo be more solid but not sure if we will be lethal.
I will be shocked if we have a fully fit squad. I honestly can't remeber we have had that for the last few years.
Think debuchy and Ox will still miss out.
We also have the internationals to consider
between injury and suspension, we've got a heavily weakened side
this should be an easy game for Arsenal even with a few injuries.

Is that a serious comment Castor?
Sterling up top is exactly why Merts should be nowherr near the team he'd get in behind him a lot. If he's wise enough he'd go on Per's side instead of Kos' then we're facked.
Gabriel & Kos is ideal although one issue would be if both go into nick the ball they could leave space in behind reason I don't think ththis partnership will work long term.. definitely need a new tall CB in the summer more mobile than Merts
Sturridge is not injured its all a ploy to get out of playing for England ill bet my bottom dollar he'll play agains't us
I still think lallana..sterling..ibe..hendo..
markovic..can..coutinho will all play. Gerrard is a sub..studge covered by sterling and lovren or toure will come in for sterling.
Were ok
But you won't have skirtel in defense
