PL | Stoke City vs Arsenal | 13/05/17 | Sky Sports | 5:30pm K/O (BST)

I guess Giroud's in for his defensive prowess, or Danny given a rest. When do we play again - midweek? Ramsey being rested also?

If we can slay the ultimate dragon in Jose-phine then surely we can win away at Stoke...no?

Coquelin is not as bad as some forum members on here are making him out to be. Sure, he has not had the best of seasons this year but he has played some amazing games for us in the past. I still see him as an valuable squad option, depending on the type of game.

Anyway, feeling confident after seeing the starting line ups. 0-2 to the Arsenal!

 

[trippyhippy]

It's because Ramsey can't play 4 games in quick succession. Really not difficult to understand.[/QUOTE

ramsey welbeck and gibbs have hardly played all season. despite that i would have expected elneny to play rather than coquelin who has been ****e all season

Can't catch the game live, is it on radio at all that anyone knows of? Cheers.

Welbeck looked like his legs were dead on Wednesday.

 

[Penn_]

Must win game and he goes with a midfield partnership that has been mostly awful.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Im disgusted that Girouf and Coquelin are starting games. It drop our technical level on par with Stokes.

Talksport maybe or BBC radio

Are you in the U.K.

Team is super defensive.

 

[Impact]

Big game for Xhaka. Has to take more responsibly in our attack. Not by making useless forays forward but by incisive passes to Özil and Alexis.

Hope Giroud mans up today. For someone big and strong he does get bullied easily.

Because his sh!t..

Still a decent line up. Bit more physically stronger which is what you need at Stoke. Let's hope it translates into a positive result.

It's a good opportunity to see what he's made of heading into the transfer market. His contributions as well as his discipline will be challenged against this opposition. Hopefully he can come through it well. I think he's got the ability.

 

[bojed]

Probably has something to do with the thousands of locals booing your player continuously after his leg was cut in half by a "brave young local lad!".

The hate started way before that but it peaked after that incident on Ramsey. Is it something fashionable like hating Middlesbrough?

 

[Notorious Big]

Let's beat those ****ers !

Yeah. Thought it would be on 5live but they've got the Rugby on. I'll try TalkSport

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

I must be going mad, I thought I heard on the radioe, Mahrez scoring a penalty and making it City 2 Leicester 2???:confused:

 

[SingmeasongSong]

I much prefer three attack minded players away from home. Can always go more attacking later in the game.

Only issue today one of them is Giroud.

I am actually not even extremely adverse to Giroud but currently, especially considering the top4 situation, to not field Welbeck is inexplicable
