Mourinho always beats Wenger.... I expect he partook in a little bit of voodoo.

Do you still have Debuchy?

I dunno if we do or not but if we do, he won't play. Hasn't even made any league cup squads as far as I know. I'm hoping Coq plays RB or something and Xhaka learns how to play football, anything but Carl facking Jenkinson

Bats

Has Jenkinson played at Old Trafford for Arsenal since the 8-2? He'll be having nightmares over Ashley Young.

I was thinking that myself, he might have done so for West Ham but don't think he has for us

Season over really. Injuries hitting in the areas we could least afford it typical.

Sanchez
Cazorla
Bellerin
Welbeck
Perez
Per

So it starts

Will lose at old Trafford for sure

Forgot Welbeck played for you. He's become a crock since joining Arsenal.

We would lose anyway

I thought he was always fairly injury prone, even at United?

(Obviously at Arsenal even a slightly injury prone player become a perma-crock)

Jenkinson is alright he just needs games he's been out for a year you can't just expect someone to come back in and perform straight away it don't work like that. He did well at West Ham he's a decent player. Give him a chance before saying he's no good.

Right back is one position where we have lots of cover.
Jenkinson, Holding, Debuchy, Mustafi, Maitland-Niles all have played there.
Obviously moving Mustafi would be low on the list of options.

Jenko is that not bad, could do a job and United are hardly fearsome in attack. Disappointing to lose Bellerin though.

He was useless at West Ham and lost his place to Cresswell even before his injury. He's had plenty of chances which is why Wenger binned him.

He was good the first season - hence they took him back. Also Cresswell is a left back, they played together a lot.

Plenty of cover, none of which is the slightest bit adequate for a team challenging for the title. Mustafi hasn't been convincing at CB, to try him at RB would be mental

No, wasn't injury prone for us.

Mate you prepare yourself so much for negative outcomes, are you actually able to celebrate whenever we do pick up results against your gut feeling?

He lost his place to someone. Who plays RB for them.

And he was good/decent at best when they played defensive football for Allardyce. Billic took over and it was a different story.

Said 4 months after a team with Danny Simpson at right back won the title

Antonio wasn't it?

When all are fit

Cech
Bellerin Mustafi Kos Nacho
Coq Santi Xhaka
Theo Alexis Ozil

That is our best team. For the foreseeable future it looks like we might see

Cech
Jenks Mustafi Kos Nacho
Coq Xhaka
Theo Ozil Iwobi
Giroud

In less than a week we've gone from having the chance to go top of the league to looking likely to be way off the pace. November is the month of death

Don't think it was Antonio, think he started off as an impact sub for them. I don't remember who he lost his place to but before his injury he was pretty much in and out of the team.

And DJ, Leicester? Really? Exception to the rule for pretty much everything

Our cover at right back is crap.

Debuchy could be in narnia for all we know, Jenkinson (as much as I have a soft spot for as he is a gooner) is below average and just returning from injury.

Ainsley looks a player tbf, doubt he's ready though.
