EPL: Arsenal v West Ham - 9/8/15, 13:30 - SS1

[GabeGooner]

Don't think we'd play Walcott and Giroud in the same team right now, and with Sánchez unavailable, the only option is Cazorla, Chamberlain or Ramsey at LW. Tough call, but I'd go with something like this…

Čech
Debuchy – Mertesacker – Koscielny – Monreal
Ramsey – Coquelin
Chamberlain – Özil – Cazorla
Giroud​

Come on, you can't mention Kanu without sharing your Kanu shirt story.

I really want to see Ox and theos both out wide......
Has this ever happenned ?

 

[ChampagneFootball]

Have a feeling we'll have them finished by the 30th minute tomorrow. Can't wait for it.. hope I'm right.

Yeh, in the opener when we lost to Aston Villa.

 

[MrBump]

Where Ox was our best player before being hammered.

Like to see it again.

I wore that shirt for the FA Cup Final against Hull, a huge part of club history. Someday it will belong in a museum.

Cech
Belerin, Mert, Kos, Monreal
Carzola, Coquelin, Ramsey
Ox, Walcott, Özil

I think Giroud starts I don't know why most people are going with Walcott. Is it cause of the contract?

I like them both. Ground is a beast of a point man, but Walcott offers something completely different. He wears out the defense. They're different challenges on the defense.

Giroud on at 60 is great. Imagine being a central defender who has been trying to keep up with Walcott for 60 minutes and then Giroud comes on .... fresh.

I wonder what goes through Mertesacker and Koscielny minds having Coq playing in front of them...

Coq in front of them, Cech behind them. Per and Kos have some of the best security in English football.

I find the other way around is more successful TBF

Yeah, lets hope we put it into some work this season!

@My_Two_Cents I think both rotations will work, out of all the times I have watched Giroud against Chelsea he looked his best in the Community Shield imo. Now I know it was his coming on as a sub, so he was fresher, but that's my point, he won a couple of headers and played some neat 1st time passes(lay offs) to our midfield. Had a couple shots on goal. I think both ways can work. And that's a very good thing.

 

[Braydz]

Giroud will and should start; he loves a goal against these lot. The real question is who we will see in midfield and on the wings.

 

[Rain Dance]

Like getting a chance to **** Anna Kendrick the day after you got a vasectomy. You might still give it a go but there's just no way you can put your best effort into it.

Anna Kendrick? Even if its a day after circumsion I would give it a go

 

[Beany]

Off to Sicily for a fortnight, so missing the game today.

I hate those e mails from the club confirming my tickets have been resold so wont be active for the game.

Still, maybe I'll be posting a little bit more over the coming days.

You lucky boys
