Matchday Thread - Leicester v Arsenal - 26 September 2015

This will be a very tough game and I reckon we'll get a draw.

We will win 5-0

The actual fight starts now...we must show character and win this game. Enough excuses...

Sanchez will score.

Cech; Bellerin-Per-Koscielny-Monreal; Ramsey-Flamini; Alexis-Ozil-Theo; Giroud

Cech; Bellerin, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Monreal; Flamini, Cazorla; Ramsey, Ozil, Sanchez; Walcott.

Points, however we do it, whatever we do, just get points.

Walcott doing a phenomenal job up front today. We look so much more fluid with him up top

Fun game. Hope we keep the tempo.

That was fantastic, refreshing, hat-trick, memories, 5-2 favorite scoreline !

42 - Most shots attempted in total in a Premier League game this season.

Great performance imo. That starting line-up bar Coq & Gabriel is probably the best we can play. Alexis, Özil and Theo were fantastic

Flamigoal injured?

Theo played really well but don't forget that Leicester played an open game against us. They pressed high and left acres of spaces behind them which is perfect for Theo. Won't always be like that. Said Sanchez would score and he scored a hattrick, Theo's goal was brilliantly taken, Giroud scoring was a very big positive and Ozil was instrumental. Drop Per he's past it.

Per is scared of getting hit by a football...

I think Giroud needs to score in a game where there's pressure for him to fully get his confidence back. Against Stoke & Leicester the game was pretty much won, he even missed a Gervinho-esque sitter yesterday too. He has too fragile of a mentality to be a top striker imo. Walcott needs to play up front as much as possible.

Yeah, Leicester were mad to go against us in open game, there is reason why everyone kill the game vs Arsenal.

The space they left in the midfield was suicidal. I wont agree that Per is past it. He is one of best when we are pushed back. Problem is our attack and build up suffer with him, and we are open up for counter. This is one of the rare moments when Kos couldn't cover him.

I still dont understand why Arsene said that Gabriel is coming back from suspension, when his ban was lifted.

He received a one-match ban for failing to leave the pitch.

They charged him with game ban for that ? Shouldn't he miss then the Carling cup game?

He received it after that fixture.

He is still doing better than THEO though.
