Keep Ramsey and Coq in the Middle unless either needs resting or are not performing.

Debuchy walks back in if hes 100% fit. He has been class for us in the 10 or so games he has played for us.

Does Debuchy walk in as soon as Liverpool? They don't use a winger, will likely be Moreno so might better opting with the superior attacking full back...

Is that Debuchy or Hector for you?

Great time to have a full squad.

Ramsey and Welbeck are doubts.

Only deep position under threat should be Ramsey's. We have none other like Coq at the moment would hate to see Arteta used as the sole DM again.

For now Rambo has earnt the right to keep his place unless Santi remains deep maybe

GT

Heard Ramsey is very minor should be fine

I hope abou makes an appearance before the end of the season, such a shame that we never got to see his true potential

I heard that as well and even Welbeck should be fit for Saturday but you know our luck....

I read that Sturridge could be available for Liverpool as well.

DIABY will start the cup final


And be MOTM

Then fall down the famous Wembley steps and break his back.

Very hard to fit everyone in.

Szczesny, Ospina
Debuchy, Monreal, Gibbs
Koscielny, Gabriel, Mertesacker
Coquelin, Ramsey, Wilshere, Arteta
Ozil, Cazorla, Rosicky
Alexis, Walcott, Ox
Giroud, Welbeck

From those 20 players i wouldn't know which 2 players to leave out of a match day squad. Rosicky maybe one. Honestly can't decide on the other

This is the worst time for us to play you and the best time for you to play us in terms of squad availability.



we can still do it though

You have Sturidge who will be fit

Gerrard is not a starter

Only miss us skirtle.

There is still time for people to get injured

No Ibe off the bench
Lucas (arguably our most important player for a match like this) not match fit
Skrtel is the lynchpin of the defence
Gerrard would have been a guaranteed starter for a match like this - he'd been missing out because of injury, not ability
Studge is 50/50 coming off an injury

Lovren isn't fit as backup and Lallana nursing an injury

basically the whole spine is injured, only partially fit, or suspended as are the first choice backups and subs

It's not pretty reading for us, good reading for you

Castor is always there to cheer other teams up with his pessimism over arsenal

pol fans crying before a ball is kicked

who'd have thought it?

It shows how constrained we have been for years, and years and how close we are to the best in the country, by the fact we are celebrating having what Chelsea have had all season

If we had Chelsea's injury record this season we would have been top or very close to it. Fact.

you're right godfather but I've been arguing its not an act of god or a coincidence that our injuries have been awful over a number of years.

We must do something about it. Without doubt we would have been far more successful had we not had injuries.

Lets see how long this lasts but it's nice to see.

Too many "but" and "if". The injuries are not new and we should learn how to deal with them. We need to stop using them as an excuse to our constant failure.

Injuries are apart of our club now.

Before every season they should transfers etc around the injuries as they are inevitable

*evaluate transfers

We should be able to solve the injury problems. Can't just accept its part of the club. Because other clubs can manage without pretty much constantly having 3/4 key players or first 11 players injured throughout a season, at the same time. If we could really reduce our injury problems, that would probably arguably be the biggest step toward challenging for top honours this club could make.

Yes we could sign 2 world class players in the summer, but they could easily end up being out for 4 months knowing our records. Stopping these injuries really should be priority for arsenal.

Maybe we were judging Shad too qucikly and before things got better they had to get worse first? Perhaps our injury problems are solved now?

I cant remember the last time we had every player fit, so there must be something being done right? (depending on the fitness of Welbz Ox and Ramsey of course)

Glad the Ox is back. We will rip the mousers a new one.
