Is Walcott injured?

Is Walcott injured?

Let's hope so.

Is Walcott injured?

I think he missed the game at the weekend due to illness.

 

[BobP]

Also @American_Gooner , that lineup is that stuff of dreams. Shame that Elneny has to ruin it by being there.

 

[Mark Tobias]

When he should be missing games because he is poverty.

Cologne have been absolute **** this season, there're no excuses not to win this, even with a second string on the pitch.

 

[LacaNewSigning]

I'd rather have iwobi over el neny and move reiss Nelson into an attacking position. I really don't see how it's benefiting his development playing as WB.

It's really stupid let the kid shine in his actual position and gain some confidence rather than confuse the poor lad. Other than that the team picks itself.

Btw haven't we already topped our group, so I don't see what we have to lose by taking a few risks.
Would also like to give Eddie some more game time

 

[MutableEarth]

Welbeck will get about an hour, hopefully it is Nketiah who replaces him.

Nelson and AMN will still annoyingly be wing backs but I've begrudgingly accepted it for now. Our midfield will suffer IMO because they will probably continue to partner Willock with Coquelin. If Wenger was brave, he'd start Dasilva as LWB then play AMN together with Willock instead.

I'd like Sheaf to get a start too. He's the kinda CB we need IMO - likes defending but is excellent at passing

[hydrofluoric acid]

Welbeck Giroud Nelson
Da Silva Maitland-Niles Willock Debuchy
Holding Mertesacker Chambers
Ospina

 

[Penn_]

The first game where we might have seen Nelson pushed forward with Walcott injured and Welbeck returns

Giroud
Welbeck Wilshere
AMN Elneny Coq Nelson
Chambers Mertesacker Holding
Ospina

 

[A_G]

Welbeck Giroud Nelson
Da Silva Maitland-Niles Willock Debuchy
Holding Mertesacker Chambers
Ospina

Completely forgot about Debuchy, in which case I'd love to see:

Think this is even better @BobP

Great! Finally my favorite team I’ve been supporting since I was a child playing against Arsenal at home. So happy to see this day.
Still angry about changing big 45 no safeI hate you.ty to this ****.

 

[Smudeagle]

Cross posting cos I got **** all response in another thread.

Any travelling Gooner’s got experience with resale away European tickets? I’m in Cologne next week visiting a friend and have got potential access to (someone else’s) tickets in the away end. I know that European away tickets have names printed on them... will I get in? Any experiences to share?

 

[Tosker]

best someone rings the Cologne box office and asks - if there are any security restrictions it will be theirs, not Arsenals
