Wenger should stop playing Oezil on d wing........ Rosicky should be playing dis type of match and why is cazorla always on d bench....... It is well for wenger oooo
Extremly high lvl of injuries in Arsenal. But damn, Oliver, why U didnt kicked off any Spurs player, why U didnt penalty them?! Another excellent game from players against arsenal - Caboul was gorgeous...
The north-London derby. A fantastic game between two respected teams, both trying to take the top of the PL. As Arsenal fan i'm excited, yet i can't really give a neutral review. But i try my best: Arsenal has a home advantage, which is important for a derby like this. Next to that, they did play well against Villa. Though they were stunned by Southampton midweek. Hopefully the guys can keep strong in their spirits and keep the eye on the league table. Despite the injuries, i believe they still have enough quality to make it a hard battle. Ramsey has to carry the team through this one. Tottenham on the other hand want to take revenge for the last few games. (Like said above, Spurs failed to score last 3 meetings) Still i hope that Verthongen can play, since he can be important with his rushes and hard shots. Spurs look very stable and solid, so its going to be tough to play. And after 3 bad results in the league, they are burned to get a good result. My prediction: 2-1 for Arsenal.
I feel that the team is starting to gel. Reading bits and pieces that Diaby seen as possible CDM, so if a defender gets injured, And others are sick, Flamini could drop back and Diaby, who is a big old chap, could slot in there. Tottenham in poor spell now. Derby energy notwithstanding, Arsenal gonna take this, after the customary phase in which there is pressure, the Gunners will in the end run out comfortable winners. Wellbeck, Ramsey and or Alexis to score, Ozil to put in another good shift
@Thypot I have my doubts about that. Everyone knows that Arsenal is weak in the counterattacks. I think Tottenham prepares for that and tries to use the speed of Chadli and Lamela, strenght of Adebayor (Targetman) and technical competence of Eriksen to make it a quick counter-like play. They might want to try to keep possession, but they know that is Arsenal's strenght as well. And on individual base, i think Arsenal is stronger on that point. (Players like Ramsey, Arteta, Wilshere and Carzola are very strong on ball possession in midfield) And in a rivalry, the end result is important to them. Its not only on the league table, but also mentally. Best way to defeat Arsenal is to counter them out. With that in mind, i think that is how Tottenham will play. Nonetheless, i would love to see 2 teams going full-out attack.
I think that this match will be very tight. But Arsenal lose last match against Southampton, and they had a longer period for recovery, so they will go on victory on home field. If you look at Tottenham this team is very bad right now. So I'm expecting at least 1:0 for Arsenal, at least.
Under our (Arsenal) weaknesses: Defending counter attacks- Very Weak. No shizzle! Lol. There should be a "Very very weak" or "Ridculously weak" rating just for us.
I think we'll win this 2-0 although in derbies you never know. Form goes out the window.
It looks highly unlikely Wilshere will start having played yesterday. Sanchez is a bit of a machine so he will probably play. I'd go with: Szczesny, Chambers, Mertesacker, Koscielney, Gibbs, Flamini, Ramsey, Sanchez, Ozil, Chamberlain, Welbeck in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
According to sky, Wenger says "We are a bit short, yes, because of the injuries we have," Wenger added.
"You sit there and think: (Kieran) Gibbs had a little hamstring problem and we could not play him, (Per) Mertesacker is a bit on the edge, and then we have no choice ". Goodness me.my latest hobby horse, the lack of defensive reinforcements. arsenal and man u have something in common

@Greatengine check out avg position, homes
lol Kaboul was clear MotM; no tackle? I can't believe, there's some error
Özil is getting better again....
You can see it in Pochettino's face, he wasn't happy with the result.
@Philip_AE- Not sure why when his team were lucky to even get a point after being dominated from minute 1.
@Philip_AE He's not the only one.

2 points dropped for us. Probably have to beat Chelsea next week now which wont be easy to say the least.
Tottenham got as many yellow cards as they did shots
Another STUPID Yellow card. How does Danny Rose get a yellow while leaving the pitch injured?
why not keep playing Beltaleb? Strange decision this!
i'm not watching the match but from the text updates and the number of yellow cards Tottenham appear to be playing really dirty football
@JoeB91 It's a derby. They're being physical but not dirty.
@JoeB91 Not really
Ox doesn't score always but when he does its really matters !!
ozil is useless
Chadli got booked for shushing the crowd? C'mon ref.
Wenger why do you play Özil on the left? :(
welbeck is legit
over 1.5
Spurs are gonna attack from the left side. We are weak over there.
@hasan ne diyon hasan
Sh!t
This gonna be an intense match. Expect many goals. Welbeck and Adebayor at least scores.

3/4:0 and like 70% possession! COYG!
@albgunn Tottenham will dominate possession.

@PedjaS the tam that lost against southhampton was totally different to who will run out today! no precedent can be drawn
@PedjaS I agree
3-0

@SteveHyland- I meant Oezil. Sorry for the crap grammar, German fans.
3-0
