Also, I don't know how many frick ups will cost Per his job but I've reached my quota. Play Chambers. He was massive in the biggest 45 of the year. Per is a walking mistake right now.

Yeah, he def pissed me off. He played well at times, but he has switched off the last few games resulting in goals or his red card. Just expect more from a veteran and a world champion.

Happy with the result in a vacuum, but it's frustrating on the whole, as we continue to find ways to lose points, often times in very dumb ways. Coq has shown his smarter than what he did today; I can't believe he made a tackle like that on a yellow.

This current Leicester/Watford game is big. A Leicester win and we're probably fighting for 2nd.

Without a red today and zero reds in the Chelsea matches and I feel we walk away with at least 7 points rather than 1.

Kane literally had the ball long enough for me to think "OK, Coq, you're good here. He has no help, just keep him held up on the wing". Then, boom, frick up.

Germany won the World Cup after benching Per. He's played his part. Time to move on. Chambers can be elite.

Yea I'm ready to see Chambers get a run of games. Besides the Liverpool game earlier this year Chambers has looked the part. We finally got Elneny in the first 11. Hope Chambers is next. Per is passed it and Gabriel has failed to impress.

I've been disappointed in Gabs. Is he anothe Arsene project? What's his role?

I see him as a 3rd/4th choice CB but who knows with Arsene. We should sell Mert while he still has some value and bring in somebody to pair with Kos and eventually partner Chambers.

I thought Gabriel was much better today. Getting involved vocally, yelling at team mates to defend. Just give him time.

Interested to see who we run out today. Probably rest Ozil, Ramsey, Welbeck.

Campbell should get another run. Probably Giroud up top. Theo and Iwobi in there. Flamini-Elneny central. Chambers in there.

I feel like today's lineup is pretty much set. We all can guess what we will lineup. I am more interested in how we will lineup this weekend. If we win today, do we throw out the same lineup in the FA Cup this weekend to rest people in order to go after the miracle in Barcelona. Or do we go for the FA Cup since the chances of winning it are 100 times greater than the Champions League.

If the squad loses today, you have to assume Arsene puts everything into West Brom and will sort out Barcelona after that.

Giroud having an awful game. Hopefully he can get a goal. Need his confidence restored.

Also, Callum-Gabriel may be back this weekend.

Crap. We lost Mert and Gabs in the same game. Flamini at RB. This is scary.


And now Ramsey.

We could end up with Gibbs-Monreal-Chambers-Bellerin this weekend across the back.

Just count the blessings we won. Cus now we don't have to play west brom possibly without, kosc, per, gab, Ramsey.

Believe it or not, Arsenal top 4 finish isn't set in stone. And really this second tie was not needed if you take care of business. Now you down two more cbs.

Silver lining, Arsene is forced to actually give chambers a run at CB.


Iwobi was excellent today though. We may have a really good one on our hands.

Per and Gabriel are fine, Ramsey out for a bit. Campbell moves to the right and Elneny to the middle. He has looked very good to me and his pairing with Coq is going to be solid going down the stretch.

Much better than Ramsey in that role. It is where he has played and is comfortable there. He is going to be an excellent player for Arsenal for years and will only get better.

This was a much needed performance. Everyone played well. Hopefully Theo and Giroud will fire on from here. I really like what I've seen from Elneny. We look way more fluid with him in the middle. As mentioned Iwobi
