Gedion Zelalem is out for 9 months with a torn ACL. His progression has taken yet another hit.

We might be down 3 CB's for the final.
Gabriel is out until august. Seeing mixed reports on whether Mustafi is back after his concussion or not. And of course Kos is out

Maybe we will see:

Cech
Holding-Mustafi-Monreal
Bellerin-Ramsey-Xhaka-Ox
Ozil-Alexis
Welbeck

Per could also play. Gibbs too. I believe Mustafi is expected to be available.

Just want to figure out a way to get a Bellerin and Ox on the field together in this shape.

He's been back for about 6 weeks now.

Put Gibbs for Ox and you'll have the 11 that Arsene picks. Trying Ox in an unfamiliar position in a cup final is a gamble. I like the idea but I doubt Wenger does it.


Edit - Well Gibbs is a major doubt for the final now. Back 4 or Ox at LWB? I have no clue.

Arseblog said rumors suggest that Kolansinac was at training yesterday to get his photos done. Looks like it could be announced next week.

Been thinking about the cup lineup to play. Settled on this.

Cech
Bellerin-Per-Holding-Monreal
Xhaka-Ramsey
Ox-Ozil-Alexis
Welbeck

Theo scores in big games but hasn't played much lately so I'd keep him on the bench. Not enough CBs to play 3 at the back.

Giroud, Iwobi and Theo on if we need a goal. Coq if we need to hold a lead.

Let's go win a trophy.

I just have a bad feeling. I think we haven't even hit the low point yet that we will see in the next few years.

While Wenger diddles with himself, trying to make up his mind, other clubs are strengthening.

Our lack of ruthlessness with some players has been frustrating but not as frustrating as our repeated tactical failures.

Just want to get a trophy to have something positive from this crappy season.

What did she wear ??
She wore, she wore,
She wore a yellow ribbon,
She wore a yellow ribbon,
In the merry month of May!
And when, I asked,
Oh why she wore her ribbon,
She said it’s for The Arsenal,
And we’re going to Wembley!
Wembley,
Wembley,
We’re the famous Arsenal,
And we’re going to Wembley!

Dressed my four month old daughter in her Arsenal onesie and a yellow ribbon this morning. I've been singing the song to her all day.

Ospina said to be starting in goal, Ox at left wing-back. Big calls from Arsene on a big day.

Per in the middle. Going to have a tough task. Doesn't look like Mustafi is on the bench.

It is a difficult call; do you play Per or just go with ten men and put an orange cone in front of the goal. it is probably a wash in the end.

My hope is, in the Man City game Wenger was spot perfect tactically. If he can do that again we have a puncher's chance anytime Sanchez is on the pitch. The midfield have to have career games.

I like this Holden kid. Looks like the typical Arnensal Mommas boy. He has a serious mean streak but is smart with it
