Make no mistake though, the one person that can't get away with anything other than a perfect game is Cech. He IS a marked man for sure.

everyone hoping to hold out for walcott and ox

The only way we're getting width with that team is through the fullbacks pushing forward. That won't leave us vulnerable to a counter-attack at all, no siree

walcotts not good enough to start

ox made a big mistake last week which caused the 2nd goal
----------------------------------------------------------------------

He was also our best threat going forward by a country mile and as for the mistake, our "world class" keeper should have had it covered with ease.

We cant win the league with someone with an attitude as dreadful as his.

only 1 team has won the EPL when losing their 1st game & we wont be the other. This place is going to be ballistic if Palace beat us. Expect 174575859 wenger out articles, spend some fing money & booing.

"ox made a big mistake last week which caused the 2nd goal"

No Cech made the error allowing a weak shot like that to go in

Wenger made the mistake selecting Cech in the first place Wenger out

Don't think Wenger trusts defensively neglectful players like Ox and Walcott with Bellerin in the team.
It is down to Bellerin to provide the width and pace.

The fullbacks will be to be busy trying to deal with Bolaise and Zaha

it was oxs fault for giving the ball away right there, cech couldnt see it as kos was infront

Teams leave no space in behind against us and our full backs play like wingers anyway, more pace is not always the answer
----------------------------------------------------------------------
but more width and someone who can cross the ball from the wings, 8bit. Agree with you on the pace.

zaha is terrible so just bolaise

Arsenal just need a win today, no care for how it comes and who is good or bad, just 3 points and move on.

Form will come and maybe new signings next week but now just a spawny scrappy win will do today.


Or a rolls Royce 5 nil thrashing of palace.

So Cech is not to blame at all?

yep but this is wrong.

We have bellerin as RB, should add bit more pace and width. So Hopefully having Ramsey there won't be as bad as when we had debuchy at RB.

its oxs fault not cechs

Not gonna lie, bit concerned about this game. We suck at dealing with counter attacks, and guess what Palace like to do....

The ball virtually rolled in at the near post, I actually find it ridiculous you're trying to justify it.

Ox was our outstanding player in preseason and aside from the mistake for the second westham goal, played well last Sunday.
But he has for be dropped to accommodate Wenger's love child- Ramsey.

Such an obvious team selection that will mean we play narrow, and get exposed out wide as our full backs have to push up. Hope I'm wrong, but really feel Ox should have started, Ramsey was poor last week.

So if Bellerin starts Ox and Walcot Cannot.

That seems odd.

Need a big game from Ozil

Tired of his constant disappearing acts

I think McArthy in goal could be our weak link as many have not been impressed with him at all so far. Here's hoping i'm wrong.

I presume we are going back to the formation and selection that ended last season?

Cazorla deep with Coq and Ramsey wide?????
