PL I Arsenal v Crystal Palace I 20/1/18 I 3pm GMT

[Jury]

John Cross says Alexis is in the 19 man squad for this .

 

[dashsnow17]

Knowing our fans, yes...

Really do not understand the recent hate on him. We all wanted both of them to go to better clubs as we felt they are wasting their careers here... Sanchez is simply milking what he is worth.

Has been a great player for us. Unfortunately we couldn't reach the PL heights with him, but can't ever fault his time here. Shame he is branded as a mercenary by many... However, he gets to choose where he ends up and he doesn't owe us any loyalty.

I agree that in the real and reasonable cold light of day, there's really nothing to begrudge Alexis for. He's from Tocopilla for Christ sake, why should he care about us? He's doing what he feels is best for him, fair f*cks to him.

However, playing him in a home game when the whole stadium knows he's got one foot out the door? That's a big no no. He should be booed; stadiums are not the cold light of day, they are pantomimes and he would rightly be the villain.

Alexis has apparently left the team hotel tonight. Welbeck injured. Iwobi off form.

Surely Reiss Nelson must get a start tomorrow alongside Özil and Lacazette.

(It will be Iwobi).

Monreal and Kolasinac both back, AMN should start in midfield.

I was about to say this.

I was thinking Nelson would be a certain starter alongside Laca and Iwobi but I forgot that Özil was back.

 

[Mark Tobias]

Wenger going to throw this one too? Next fixture is the all important Haribo cup

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

We should’ve chucked Welbeck in the Walcott deal. Injury prone and useless.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Iwobi will start we have no other options I prefer we play Wilshere Özil Lacazzete with Ramsey Xhaka in middle

 

[Hunta]

We should’ve chucked Welbeck in the Walcott deal. Injury prone and useless.

He’s pathetic. If he gets a new deal I’ll be so angry.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

If we go 4-3-3 today I prefer nelson to start

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

He’s pathetic. If he gets a new deal I’ll be so angry.

Same here. Offers nothing at this point, doesn’t even have that burst of pace he used to have. Southampton should come for him seeing as they missed out on Theo.

 

[krengon]

Hopefully our great home form continues, a lot more confident in this team at home, where as I feel we are capable of dropping points to anyone away atm..

3 points, good performance and a Laca goal is all I ask for.. If Nelson/Nketiah gets a chance too that's a bonus.

 

[OnlyOne]

Özil is injured isn't he?

 

[Ricardinho]

Was thinking maybe AMN would start on the left in place of Alexis, but then remembered he's out with the flu.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Özil is injured isn't he?

No fully fit. Only AMN could not play today

 

[MutableEarth]

Was thinking maybe AMN would start on the left in place of Alexis, but then remembered he's out with the flu.

He trained yesterday so he is available.

 

[yybecause]

Cech

Holding Mustafi Nacho

Bellerin Jack Xhaka Kola(Niles)

[bingobob]

The match has played second fiddle to everything.

 

[Ceballinhos]

I don't even care about this game.

hopefully it will be the last one with Welbz & Iwobi starting.
Can't wait to watch our fab 4 next week with Özil Mkhitaryan Aubameyang Lacazette

 

[Marmaduke]

Özil Mkhitaryan Aubameyang Lacazette

If somebody told me this would be our lineup 4 or 5 years ago I would be salivating like a mad dog.

Funny how time changes things.
