So there is a distinct possibility that Walcott won't make the Euros squad. Watershed moment? Could this be a point where his lack of progress becomes evident and he may never fulfill the promise he has shown? We don't carry many non-internationalists in our squad. Maybe time to part ways.

I think it is over. i mean we have so many injuries in our team and wenger still benches him. That must say a lot.

The form and generally demeanour of Ox and Walcot haven't been great this year, which has allowed Campbell and Iwobi to be selected ahead of them at times.
I have a feeling that Ox may be sold during the summer and Walcott won't be happy at his lack of playing time and may press for move. It's a shame because they are both players that I like and are part of our essential English contingent.

I would rather sell the and keep ox.
I do think we would struggle to sell him as he is over payed a la bentdner.

I'm really looking forward to getting back to Premier League football and feel very positive that we will beat Watford.
If reports are correct, Cech will be back. The back four and two defensive positions, pick themselves. However, who would you select for the three offensive midfield roles and who should lead the attack?
My own choices would be:
Sanchez, Ozil and Welbeck, with Giroud.

31 Mar 2016 08:02:47
Giroud should not play for Arsenal again this season
Campbell on the right, welbeck up front. I think Danny has done enough to warrant a place up front. He is scoring whereas Giroud's confidence is shot.

Same side as v Everton unless Cech is fit, that's what it shoukd and will.
Our best result and performance in 2016 why would you and more importantly would Arsene charge it.

gunner62 - Clearly we both agree that Cech should return, if fit. The only other change would be Giroud for Iwobi. The reason I would consider this, is that away to Everton we could hit them with pace on the break, whereas at home our opponents tend to defend deep, which negates pace and the option of Giroud's aerial ability and all round strength may be a better option. If we failed to break them down, we could try and use Iwobi and Walcott later in the match.
The other factor that may influence selection would be the amount of travel and football played during the international break.

All true RG but Arsene found a favoved 11 for last seasons run in the away game at city and absolutely stuck to it whenever possible until a top 4 place was secured, with the Everton game we both lookedd good and got an excellent result so I think he will stick bar Cech if injuries allow, something I agree with because you shouldn't change a winning side to make room for people because that promotes the Walcott and Ox after you mentality, places need to battled over and earned back from the bench when chances come along.

31 Mar 2016 15:16:30
I think welbs up front Sanchez ozil and Campbell or iwobi.

31 Mar 2016 19:44:34
Iwobi's done nothing wrong not to start in my opinion
He's been a breath of fresh air in the team.

31 Mar 2016 20:17:40
Iwobi is the future, give him his head and keep the misfiring giroud out of the frame.

31 Mar 2016 19:02:02
Id maybe rest cech for this home game unless he's fully fit but I'd play it on the safe side.

Le coq and el neny play surely. i'd keep sanchez on the right even tho ubistonk won't like me saying it.

01 Apr 2016 07:55:02
Derby elneny is injured got a month so he won't play.

01 Apr 2016 09:14:46
He's out for a month? Ive not followed the international break I never do.

01 Apr 2016 19:27:47
Is that true? A fresh face on the injury bed
Typical.

Sorry I'm mistaken. A football app I have said it the other day but clearly they're wrong as he is starting.
