Wenger Names Squad For Holland Trip

no walcott no hoyte, saving them for the CC final on sunday? we are only 2 short of our strongest side, taking into account hleb and gallas are coming back from injuries, its only Eboue and RVP we are missing from our strongest 11

I'd say Djourou RB.

If they have problems at left back god help them if Hleb plays!

Good to see Hleb back in the squad. I'd really like to see Denilson get on the pitch at some point. For me he has been this seasons major surprise. Lets just hope that tomorrow is where Henry starts to play football again!!!

scooch henry never stopped playing football. just go and read The Thierry No Transfer (TNT) policy article on the forum to clear all those doubts and misconceptions you have about the king..

Bootoo, does that means that if those two are missing you are playing your kids/second 11 like the CC? Guess it does! GOONER MUGS!!!!!! COYS

Look at the sad scummer he thinks we cheated them out of the Carling cup final by playing a few 1st teamers how dare we! Denilson is our 4th choice centre mid and he's better than Zakora, Huddle20stone, Jenas and Tainio, Diaby played 2 games in a year and outshone your shower of s*@t. Almunia is 2nd choice, Walcott is a 17, Traore is 17, Hoyte is our 2nd left back, Senderos is our 4th choice centre back, Aliadiere is our 5th choice forward and Baptista our 4th choice. They all knocked you the f*@k out!

Hahaha one result and the Spurt fan thinks he can come here and tell us about football. I'd be far more inclined to listen to his sorry ar$e if he was around to take the flak last week!!!

I see there is no Reading fans on here telling us they are on the way up and we are in decline and they are having a much better season than sp*rs did last year, hell there even gonna play more than 40 games!

i thnk a 4-5-1 formation will be good since rosicky anyway is a central atacking mid feilder plus ljunberg has lots of goals in em...n hleb is also VERY capable of knocking a few in...n if we need we always have adebayor to support henry....CL GLORY WILL BE OURS !!!!!!

My hunch is Ade will only come on in the later stage of the game. He would be our main man for the CC final.

I wouldn't fancy Gallas up against Kone, Toure's Ivory Coast team-mate (probably mispelt that). If he was fully fit then I would say Gallas everyday of the week, but not having only played 60 mins football in 3 months. Kone is a flying machine with decent skill & shot. I think he should stick with Djourou in that position & play Gallas in his preferred centre-back position.

Totally agree with Puregold on the strength points, plus Diaby. Don't worry about the Spurs comments! They're under a bit of pressure at the moment, what with their fight for a top 10 finish and all that so I guess that we'll have to bear with them. Ashburton, I'm also with you on the Gallas issue. Pace will be very important tomorrow and Djorou has bags of it. I also think that his (Djorou) rate of recovery when he is beaten by players is nothing short of miraculous. Looking at him this season, I'm certain that he's modelling himself on Kolo. I'm actually a bit worried about the Gallas situation at the moment. I think that he's lost some of his pace which scares me a bit if he's playing in any of the full back positions, and I'm not quite sure how he'd fit into central defence due to the height issues. Kolo has to play, end of, but if Gallas played alongside him I think we'd be lacking a bit of height. No denying Gallas probably has the experience to make up for these things and maybe when he's fully fit, it might help to shake off my doubts. I honestly think that our 1st choice back four will be Eboue, Djorou, Toure, Clichy, and hopefully we'll be able to hang on to Hoyte, Senderos and Traore as they will be so essential with fixture congestion. Unless Gallas gets first team football I think he'll be gone!

I don't know about any of you, but I think that for all his qualities and potential as a top class defender, Senderos has lost a bit of the confidence he exuded in last year's run to the final. I think Gallas at Center with Kolo and have Clichy and Djourou at LB/RB .

I think he will play gallas RB, but i'd rather he play him center & flams RB. Too bad flams doesn't like playing there, for me, it's his strongest position.
