Fatwax Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 From FB, no idea if it's true: Özil hasn't travelled, and Ramsey's out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Not surprising. Ramsey's injuried and will be out til the middle of next month and Wenger has mentioned giving Ozil a rest since it's the first time he has no winter break (he played in the previous game).

Karjala Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Would be amazed if Ozil doesn't play, given that Ramsey is out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 He played in the Chelsea and West Ham matches and doesn't have the best stamina/fitness around. Wenger will also have other options to call on in place of Ozil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Good thing if he's out (Özil). Ramsey mising isn't bad eitiher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeloEmre Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 If Ozil and Ramsey are out they will probably have a front 6 of Arteta, Wilshere, Podolski, Cazorla, Walcott and Giroud. Not bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I suspect he might play Flamini to counter Cabaye and/or Ben Arfa, especially if Koscielny fails to make it and Vermaelen plays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I still think we have a good chance today, we are in good form and have a team that is full of confidence. Their main threat will come from walcott imo, if he gets free runs at our defense he will do us for pace. I am sure we will double up on him whenever possible.

David28 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Didn't Wenger also contemplate resting Giroud? Would be hilarious if Bendtner was starting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varadi Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 They have got 19 out of 27 points away. Any result today would be great. We have 22 out of the last 27 home and away, including beating Spurs, Chelsea and Man Utd to nil - they should be worried about us! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karjala Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 That's exactly it, we have beat teams as good as Arsenal this season, so have nowt to be afraid of! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 We don't really have much to lose, so as said, I hope we just get at them from kick off. A loss is kinda expected, a draw would be great but a win would absolutely tear the stadium up, fingers crossed we're feeling clinical today Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempuki Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Santon against Walcott will be important. Looking forward to it and hope we can get a result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Geordie Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Ramsey missing too. Gonna be a helluva game, but am gonna have to Sky+ it as I've got to take the bairn to a birthday party. Never fails that these are organized mainly when Newcastle have a game! No pressure on us, this pm so I hope they go out and give it a shot. No fear.

Ikon Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I think Arsene Wenger will breathe a huge sigh of relief if we don't play Ben Arfa. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 It will be interesting to see what Pardew does to deal with the Walcott/Sagna threat on our left. Do we play Gouffran deeper or Ben Arfa to give them something to think about. On the other side we'll probably have Sissoko and Debuchy who can cause them problems if they can get forward. However I think I biggest challenge will be getting Remy more into the game and stopping him from dropping deep to receive the ball. He has to stay on the shoulder of the CB's where he is more lethal especially if we can play some decent through balls or balls over their defence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 They will be attacking us mostly on our left side. I'd start Mbiwa! Without doubt.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Draw today IMO. V happy with Ozil and Ramsey about, Wilshire will disappear against cabs and tiote IMO. Could nick this, but I'd say a draw is most likely Özil out? Not official is it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
