them starting with 10 men is going to make it embarrassing if we don’t win. :S
good luckt to eastmond. never really seen the lad but if he has been picked over coq and randall, you assume it has to be for good reason. or it is just wenger going ‘don’t play english players huh? here’s aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanother making his debut, suckaz.’
that samuel, was funny
where is vela? He was overlooked for the bench on Saturday too. I am perturbed, and quite frankly outraged.
Well adding Babel to the article now makes my first comment look stupid.
How on earth did Eastmond creep into the starting line up. I would have thought Frimpong or Coquelin would have started ahead of him
And we have named no subs…..lol
should all be over at half time….
hope the kids can do us proud!!!
Haha. You can never second guess Wenger. Nobody, but nobody envisaged Eastmond starting ahead of Coquelin. I think Eastmond is more disciplined than Coquelin and won’t venture too far from his position and that’s why he’s got the nod i think.
Coq didnt play well last round plus Eastmond is taller for setplays since Pool have 7 players who are over 6ft in their lineup. I did envisage Coq not playing however I thought MR would have been Wenger’s choice.
Thank you *so* much for fixing the rss feed so the text is no longer showing up as white – I can now read your articles in my feed reader
I hope they do well. And hopefully Coquelin and randall relise the competition and step it up. Eastmond is very good too though.
wow !!! Great team,tear them apart boys
