oscar, willian, GC, JT, iva, azpi? hazard might have played every minute but players like iva, oscar, willian,azpi are the ones who put the most yards in the match. those guys deserve a rest too. and who cares about uefa? let them "punish" us. i mean, i am pretty sure we can pay a whatever fine in thrown our way. fair point about schalke, but to be honest, our players NEED the rest. also playing players like schurrle and salah, who will be trying to prove something will be better than playing a tired, ragged, uninspired hazard and willian.

city's BOOM has been since those 2 goals in the dying minutes against munich. it gave their CL campaign a lift as well as looked like a "turning point" in their season. i honestly cant see city winning or even getting a draw at roma without aguero. i think if city go out of CL, it takes out all the gathered momentum.

if this is true!!!!! then this is probably the best weekend so far!!!

i think we pretty much played a 3 man mid today. cesc-mikel-oscar oscar was way toooo deep to be counted as a no.10 today. think rambo is still "unfit" otherwise he defo would have started.

moutinho has played and does play as a DM. cant sell/loan salah and get a CM/DM as his replacement. FA cup and other cup games will give him some important playtime for sure. i remember salah starting almost all matches towards the end of the last as we were resting people for the CL games.

moutinho is an awesome player. if we can get him for 20mil, we SHOULD get him. probably sell mikel to make space in the squad.

GC should not be on the pitch. he definitely needs a rest!!!

who here has even brought up matic and mikel in the same breath???

soton vs united is in no way a given result.

no need to mince words there. he was not "one of our better players". he was the 2nd best player on the pitch after DD.

THANK YOU ARSENAL!!!! THANK YOU!!!

he can play one more year and still be IMMENSELY important!!!! what a player!!! unbelievable!!!

so GC and JT are suddenly not good enough? the pair that just had 400 minutes of football without conceding? zouma with an year's experience, kalas/omerou back from loans!!! mvg/romeu back from loans? for ST, u think remy should start ahead of a 10 goal costa and a DD who is scoring almost everytime he starts, yet we need one. RW - i agree, if we can get reus. so LOL at almost everything you have said. "real fans" - dont think we need an "OVERHAUL" after there team has gone 23 matches unbeaten in all competitions, are still TOP OF THE TABLE, in quarter finals of leage cup and have already topped their group with a game in hand!!!!

its cesc's MO. starts a season brilliantly and then tailors off. doing kind of the same thing here. probably needs a rest!!!

horrible performance today!!! probably needs a bit of rest!!!

LOLOLOL... we had not conceded a goal for over 400 minutes and yet one of our CBs was "piss" poor for a month... some people!!!

sure dude. lets drop a striker who has scored 10 goals already in PL cos he had one bad game. and replace him with a striker who was not fit for the past one month. also, we should have an OVERHAUL in the summer. ST, DM, CB, RW, as well add a new GK and a coach!!!

so we should drop costa? or play an unfit remy who was out for 1 month?

LOL. if you think remy could have half the impact DD did today.

we have won the group. and i dont care if we win/lose/draw this match. just give some rest to EH, oscar, willian, cesc, matic, GC, JT, iva, azpi. cech zouma ake christensen luis mikel rambo salah baker schurrle remy.

meh!!! expected!!! even though mikel played really really well, but there was no penetration from cesc. JT, GC, luis/azpi and cesc took atleast 3 touches each before passing the ball. DD was an absolute BEAST!!!!! MOTM by a light year today. no doubt he is the 2nd choice. costa had a shocker. cant remember a single effective moment from him. even his play while running at defenders seems average. GC was awful. totally at fault for the first goal. seemed like an easy clearance. hazard was nowhere in the 2nd half. with a man down, he should have been running at them no ends. shit happens, first loss. no problem. i just hope that EH, oscar, cesc, azpi, GC, JT, iva, all get a good rest for the CL game dead rubber. no need to "respect the competition" and shit!!!

take some shots!!!!!!!!!

willian out rambo in. cant see willian affecting the game. got no end product.

mikel has been brilliant!!!! what are you talking about? matic played against sunderland and we were in the same position. lets not pawn it off on mikel!!!

costa is having a shocker!!! needs to get back to do what he does best!!!
