Risking a long-term injury layoff for Sanchez playing him after he came off with an injury against Utd then subsequently played 180+ minutes for Chile. Koscielny shouldn't be playing either since he's carried injuries throughout the season since the very begin. It doesn't say much for the squad that Wenger doesn't believe we can beat Watford without Alexis and Koscielny, not to mention yet again he has put Ramsey in the team even though it causes imbalance. Better hope we go 3-0 after 20 minutes again and can bring Alexis off.
Man, Watford have conceded the LEAST goals in an entire Premier League. Surely they're quite impotent in front of the opponent's goal but you can't deny their defensive solidity plus the great form of Heurelho Gomes. Arsenal are on the rise though and one would suspect they'd break Watford somehow. An Arsenal win by the tightest of margins (0-1, 1-2) or a draw (1-1) seems to be on the cards.
Alexis should be rested. He played the full game against Brazil despite limping off against Utd. We need a fully fit and firing Sanchez if we're to stand any chance against Bayern a week today, so I don't want to see him even named on the bench. Cazorla didn't play Spain's 2nd game, which is a plus. Oezil isn't made of straw like he used to be so I have no worries about him. Ideally we'll be 3-0 up after an hour then can take him and Cazorla off. I see this being a tough game though against our training ground neighbours. 2-0. Walcott MotM.
@Overmars- Just checked that result and it looked like an exciting game, 4-3 to Chile with a Peruvian sending off (and 2 Alexis goals). Unfortunately Alexis played the whole game, again, so Wenger surely must rest him for what is essentially a must-win game at home to Bayern on Tuesday.
A very good 2nd half from us and, in the end, a deserved win.
@SteveHyland true...
Usually hate tuning in late for an Arsenal game but today it seemed like the right thing to do..
Cech has more touches than Walcott smh
Terrible defending and poor in possession so far for Arsenal. Only Koscielny has even played "average".
Rubbish defending so far from The Arsenal

OFFICIAL: Cech, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Cazorla, Ramsey, Oezil, Alexis, Walcott. BENCH: Macey, Debuchy, Chambers, Gibbs, Arteta, Chamberlain, Giroud.
@SteveHyland- Seriously backwards people on here down-voting someone who reports the official team.
Arsenal to win 0-3.
Watford 2-2 Troy Deeny.....

I'm also going for a 0-2 win for The Arsenal. MOTM Ozil.
0-2

@SteveHyland Alexis has scored for Chile in their match vs Peru which is on right now.

@SteveHyland Who knows? He played through injury but is in such good form it's very hard to 'rest' him.
