Team Predictions: Arsenal V Manchester City

Published on December 1st, 2009

As Arsène Wenger readys his squad for the trip to Eastlands tomorrow, there is still great debate as to who will lineup against an expected multi-million pound Manchester City XI in the 7.45 kick off.

Wenger confirmed this afternoon that the youngsters will play, but their may be a scattering of more senior young players. Jack Wilshere is expected to be passed fit while Craig Eastmond will be in the squad. But whether he will start at the expense of Francis Coquelin or Emmanuel Frimpong, nobody knows.

So in a feature often run on Gooner Talk, we’re going to open up the team selection debate to our readers. Post your views below.

    Mannone
    Gilbert-Senderos-Silvestre-Traore?! (Dare he risk our last LB?)
    Ramsey-Eastmond-Merida
    Wilshere-Walcott-Vela

    I have got these horifically wrong the last two ties, so don’t count on it :)

    Merida is suspened

  3. Posted by G.Sonvico on December 1st, 2009, 16:38 [Reply]

    I’d go for, this is obviously dependant on Wilshire’s fitness and Wenger’s inclination to give Vela a chance to get some confidence.

    Fabianski
    Gilbert-Senderos-Silvestre-Traore
    Ramsey-Coquelin-Merida
    Wilshire-Vela-Watt

    Fabianski

    Gilbert – Senderos – Silvestre – Cruise

    Ramsey – Frimpong – Merida

    Walcott – Vela – Wishire

    If I have 5 right I will be happy. I would like to see Couqalin get some minutes also.

  5. Posted by kumquat_s on December 1st, 2009, 16:40 [Reply]

    Is Fabianski fit now? If he is I will go for him. IMO I would prefer to see Coquelin ahead of Eastmond, but I think Wenger likes Eastmond and will go for him.

  6. Posted by ds goon on December 1st, 2009, 16:40 [Reply]

    Mannone
    Gilbert-Senderos-Sylvester-NOT TRAORE (someone else surely)
    Merida-Frimpong-Ramsey
    Walcott-Vela-Wilshere

    i can see frimpong maybe starting looking at what happened in the last two ties and the frimpong story on the dot com. would love to see the cog given the nod though

    MERIDA IS SUSPENED FOR THE RED CARD HE GOT IN THE RESERVES

  8. Posted by Edtaa on December 1st, 2009, 16:42 [Reply]

    kumquat’s not far off IMHO. But one or two more experienced guys need some game time: Eboué for Traore? Rosicky, Nasri, Eduardo also possibles. My team features 3 Ws up front:
    Mannone
    Gilbert-Senderos-Silvestre-Eboué
    Rosicky-Ramsey-Merida
    Wilshere-Watt-Walcott

  9. Posted by Sam R on December 1st, 2009, 16:46 [Reply]

    Fabianski
    Gilbert Senderos(if fit)/Bartley Traore
    Ramsey Couqelin Wilshere
    Sunu Vela Watt/ Merida

    Although we are all up for giving the Carling Cup to kids ..

    I am worried about a repeat of Black Tuesday on 22 January 2008, when we lost 1-5 to the spudlings in the Carling cup ..

    Knowing that this game is coming after two losses in the premiership and especially a humiliating loss against Chelsea at home.

    Can the kids cope with all this unwanted pressure to do well and up against a squad that cost £100M+ ..

    This is a big game for the morale of all the senior/junior players at the club for this season’s campaign ..

  11. Posted by john on December 1st, 2009, 16:47 [Reply]

    Is it me or has Armand traore improved alot defensively he doesnt seem to get caught out of position like he used to.

    I think it will be

    Fabianski

    gilbert silvestre senderos traore

    Merida Eastmond Ramsey

    Wilshere Vela Watt

  12. Posted by Andy on December 1st, 2009, 16:49 [Reply]

    Whichever team you put will stand a chance against us at the minute. Pretty much since we beat you earlier in the season we have looked totally out of sorts at home – scared to attack and vulnerable at the back. If the kids pass the ball like they have done every time i have watched them then you should get some joy. I just hope that, on the day, experience may count in our favour. Peace

    R3DD3R: Playing high quality competetion early in their career and either proving their worth and inifinite potential or failing miserably will surely be a great indicator of what these guys will go on to achieve. It won’t ruin any careers or confidences (well, maybe Big Phils, but he’ll get some alright club next season) if we lose- the boss knows how to handle any situation youngsters better than anyone. Plus, we could win!

    My guess:

    Wookash
    Gilbert Silvestre Senderos Eboue
    Eastmond
    Ramsey Wilshere
    Walcott Vela Rosicky

    Would like to see Silvestre at LB and Ayling or Bartley (who in my mind have some how molded into 1 player) get a go. Also Coq>>>Eastmond, obv. Would like to see more of Watt as well, but I think whoever’s least likely to start at the weekend from Nasri/Arsh/Rosicky will play (and thus I named Tomas.)

  26. Posted by Flint McCullough on December 1st, 2009, 17:23 [Reply]

    Merida’s suspension does NOT start until December 9th., so he certainly is available & will surely play.

    Everyone’s teams are interesting. We may well see Rosicky, Nasri, maybe Denilson, who may need games plus possibly Eboue.

    Hard ask up there but these games are there to be enjoyed win or lose.

  27. Posted by atif on December 1st, 2009, 17:25 [Reply]

    guys im pretty sure merida will play becuase hes ban kicks in on the 8th

    pretty sure this would be the team, but if wenger wants to add sum experience maybe rosicky or walcott could start the game.

    Predicted:

    Fabianski
    Eboue – Senderos – Silvestre – Gilbert
    Ramsey – Eastmond – Wilshere
    Walcott – Vela – Merida

    Personal hopes:

    Fabianski
    Eboue – Senderos – Silvestre – Gilbert
    Ramsey – Coquelin – Merida
    Wilshere – Vela – Walcott

    Meridas ban will not start untill Dec 9th so he will surely be available for Wenger.
    Don’t think Wenger wants to risk his only LB right now and therefor Eboue will take Traores place.

  30. Posted by mooqs on December 1st, 2009, 17:48 [Reply]

    if merida plays that is a big plus because he is an outstanding player just a shame he hasn’t signed his contract yet because i think january or summer he could be off if he doesnt sign, but for tomorrow:

    Where the hell is Barazite?? My preffered team is Szchencky,Gilbert,Senderos,Bartley,Silvestre,Eastmond,Ramsey,Merida,Wilshere,Vela,Barazite(if fit) if not then Watt takes his place.Substitutes: Sunu,JET,Frimpong,Randall,Fabianski,Coquelin,Walcott.

  32. Posted by J.Sanderson on December 1st, 2009, 18:01 [Reply]

    Barazite is injured, Szczesny is on loan.

  33. Posted by Supergunner07 on December 1st, 2009, 18:09 [Reply]

    I think Wenger will play bcuz experenced Nasri played alongside Eastmond & Ramsey thus Rosicky will play where Nasri played in the last round. RB is 50-50, it will be Ebo or Gilbert depending on what he wants

    Merida can play tomorrow, that’s it.

  41. Posted by Home Alone on December 1st, 2009, 18:49 [Reply]

    Traore was nervous and/or too respectful against chelsea and played within himself, especially once he got the yellow. To be expected. He’ll grow from the experience and maybe soon he’ll be a terror down the left, at least against much weaker clubs.

    I don’t know about you lot but i can’t stand this fucker. I even saw him at Butlins when i was a kid some 15 years or so years ago and my cuz got his autograph but i just despise the cu** nowadays. He’s got some bloody cheek. Walcott and Ramsey is all we’ve spent £5m or more on (When still in their teens) that i can think of off the top of my head. Citeh have always had a brilliant academy and have always produced good talent but those kids will leave them now as they have a different business model. The ‘it’s not working, throw money at it’ one. They’ve already lost Sturridge who IMO has immense potential if guided and nurtured correctly.

    J Sanderson, Wenger said to day that he expects Kyle Bartley, Sanchez Watt and Craig Eastmond to play for Arsenal one day. I know wilshere, merdia and ramsey are very likey to. But these three he said to day I saw it on skysports.com. What you think they got a chance?

    Can’t see Traore playing in this one because of the obvious risk of losing another left back…perhaps we will see Ignasi Miquel or Thomas Cruise in this role?…I think Vela and Walcott need the game time and perhaps more importantly the confidence of a start rather than coming off the bench…

    Don’t know the situation regarding JET but if he is not cup tied he surely has to be in with a shout

    Traore can handle another game. He needs more game time and to be tested more. He’s young and fit after all.

    Traore doesn’t need to play this. Silvestre an con

    It’s going to be a difficult match with certain ex Arsenal players looking to make a statement, however i think what ever team Arsene wenger puts out will give a good account for themselves.
    I would realy like to see Coqulin given a run out in a 4-4-2 line up that would look something like this:

    Fabianski, Eboue, Bartley,Senderos, Traore, Ramsey, Eastmond, Coqulin, Merida, Watt, Vella.

    I hope Song plays not. Only as a option on the bench. We need him in the next weeks! Maybe we will see Eastmond as Central Defender alongside Silvestre

    Good point me, randall is taking a spot that could go to a better served player. I wish we’d just cut our loses with this player. Sunu anyday

    Based on the squad I’m revising my selection to this:

    Fabianski
    Gilbert-Silvestre-Song-Eboue
    Ramsey-Eastmond-Merida
    Wilshere-Vela-Rosicky

    ditto about Randall, to be fair I think quite a few players have reached the end of their spell in our reserves and our taking up spots that other youngsters could have. Randall should go, Jay Simpson has found his level and should move on, nice guy, but really not going to get a chance for us. Barazite needs to move on (is he fit, because he aint in the selection).

    Merida is getting to this stage too, he is 20 now and if he doesn’t get into the first team soon, then I think there is only so long we can persevere with this guy. Shame because he has the potential, just there is so much talent ahead of him in the first team. I think he has realised this himself.

    i think this will be a measure of what level le gaffer thinks wilshire is at.. He always has maintained that he sees him as a central player, n is playing him wide as part of his education as well as for experience.. You guys think he’ll start wide ryt in d front 3.. If thats d case in d match, it shows he still is a way off.. But if his pos is swapped with rosicky in supers lineup, it’ll b a clear indicator he really is in convention 4 d first team

    i meant contention.. Also, senderos being dropped surely is a sign of things to come.. N dare i say it, so is d fact that walcott is starting 2 test le gaffers patience with the consistency with which he visits d doctors..
