United are missing a bunch of players. We have to get 3 points. And what I want most of all is for Arsene to stick it to Mou.

That's even more ominous considering what happened there last year. We were Rashford's coming out party.

United doesn't have a Rashford this year. More worried about a wonder game from DeGea and a wonder strike from Pogba to do us in. I really think Wenger wins in this match up.. finally.

COME ON YA GUNNERS!!!

you're right, they only have this guy

But in all seriousness, barring an amazing match from de Gea, I think we'll win this one. (hopefully) thinking 4-1

Ramsey starting. Not happy about that. Hopefully he proves me wrong. Also no Xhaka. Wtf? He was the only one who played well against Spuds.

Does Ramsey know what to do with the ball close to the penalty area anymore?

He kills more attacks.

Ramsey should never play wide again. The only way he should see the field is if we have an injury crisis at CM. Coquelin and Elneny don't work. No creativity at all. They can't get the ball to our attackers in good positions. Either Xhaka or Cazorla must start at CM at all times. So alot of the blame goes to Arsene for not getting it right.

Ive never understood why he plays there...

Do you not rate him as a CM? He is so good there for Wales...

Y'all were awful today... and there is the equalizer

He's a very good CM. It's that he doesn't suit our style and vice versa. His best position is as #10 in a counter attacking team. We have Ozil at that position and we usually play possession.

I don't want to be the guy that dismisses a player after a few games, but I think it's clear that Jenkinson doesn't have the talent to play RB for Arsenal. It could just be a confidence issue, but his only play was to boot the ball whenever it was at his feet. It's really hard to get anything done offensively when your two CBs are better passers than both CMs and your RB.

Speaking of that, if we were ever in a defensive mid injury crisis, I think Mustafi could fill in nicely.

I thought Jenkinson played alright. Much better than Monreal who got skinned. Jenkinson is coming off an ACL injury and this is only his second game back.

Speaking of which, I wish we would drop Monreal. Gibbs has looked better this season, and Monreal has done poorly even when we give him help.

The problem with our team was the fact we started Coq-El Neny and then Ramsey out wide. Just play Xhaka Wenger.

Yeah i thought Jenko played well enough for only his 3rd (I think) game back from injury.
And i like Nacho but he's dropped off this year. I think we should give Gibbs a run of games to see if he can make the spot his own, let Nacho take over Cup games.
I would've loved to have Xhaka in there, but Coq has performed really well this season & I'm not sure I'd put Xhaka-Coq in the midfield in a big game (disciplinary issues). We're really missing Santi ffs
