EPL | Swansea City (H) v Arsenal (A) | 14/1/17 15:00 GMT

As expected but Lucas should be in place of Iwobi.

The Messiah returns :bounce:

 

[Furious]

I cannot get my head around why Lucas is not starting he has been in some good form, every time he makes an appearance in a Arsenal shirt he looks good...just boils down to wenger picking his favourites and not his most form players!

No, it's because Wenger understands football and you don't, so stop posting the cretinous "Wenger picks his favourites" line.

 

[Gooner n Proud]

Wenger too foolish man!

Why change a working system for Giroud?

 

[Jm89]

Naah, Lucas deserves more minutes, I agree. But who is he going to play for? Özil and Alexis are untouchable, Giroud is in even better form than Lucas. He could play instead of Iwobi, but with Ramsey in midfield, you need a bit more control and passing and Iwobi brings that, more than Lucas.

For me he's more off a threat then iwobi, Lucas movement is phenomenal,he's also more of a goal threat then iwobi/ox/Theo... I think you need to give him a little bit more credit and look at how many chances he creates he's a very intelligent player and could quite easily do what you've said above ....would of been an ideal games to give him a start in my mind!

He on form scoring in every game agree he make our system look slow but you just can't drop a player who been scoring

Lucas is more of a threat, I just think him instead of Iwobi with Ramsey in midfield is a bit of an overkill. Score early and you could have a blowout, find yourself having to make the game we would struggle.

 

[Lady_Gooner]

We're pretty good away at Swansea, it's at home where we struggle.
Love the team as well.. so feeling pretty good! We can't have another awful away performance surely?

Right? Right??

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Seriously need to start well here you can't always survive by starting slow and conceding early specially away.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Terrible line-up...

We are back to square one since last season. If not even worse.

Of course I don't mate never played I've at a high leval or have coaching badges, I bet you are the type of fan who wants wenger to sign another contract and lead us to another fourth place finish!

Lucas recent form has outshone a majority of our wide options of late bar Sanchez and deserves a start very simple logic behind it!

 

[Notorious Big]

Fabianski will look like Cech from Chelsea today.

 

[North5]

I predicted that wenger will shoehorn in Ramsey and also keep Giroud up top well after his form inevitably goes to shot again, it will cost us and come the end of march our season will have unraveled (even more) and he will switch things back to the October winning formula to achieve the top 4.

It's inevitable.

@Jm89

He has done fine, however Iwobi is miles better integrared in the team, and has ball retention skills way above Lucas' level.

Giroud, Alexis and Ramsey turn the ball over at a ridiculous rate - if we put another guy like them in Lucas, how the hell are we going to keep the ball?

Iwobi is playing for security purposes. If you understood football you would comprehend that, and not throw the usual bullshit like Wenger playing his favourites.

 

[Gooner Zig]

Another line up where every player in the attack wants the ball to feet. Going to be a lot of pointless bullshit possession, looking clueless as usual.

Can't wait for Theo to get back.

This is what I was trying to say, thank you for explaining it so eloquently, English is my third language.

 

[Lady_Gooner]

Wenger doesn't rate Lucas, this is 100% Campbell last season

Just try to block it out and enjoy the present mate. We all know how this story ends.

Haha, cheers mate. English is my third language too, but I wouldn't say it's above your level.

 

[Rimaal]

Love the team!

Why is Wenger starting Giroud again. He scores all his goals in the final 20 minutes. Bring him on as a sub ffs.
