FA Cup - Wiltshire out for them, Jags out for us

[ThemGrahame]

It's been confirmed Jack Wiltshire picked up a fracture during England duty last night and will be missing for the FA cup game against us. On top of that, Wenger usually rotates his squad for cup games, especially with his eye still on the Premiership title. Could this be the best chance we've had in years to get a win at Arsenal and progress on in the FA cup? Or could Jags being missing for us be just too big for us to have that good a chance?

For me, the resurgence of the Baines/Pienaar left side linkup play, the return of Lukaku and the ever impressive McCarthy and Barkley, I actually think we have an amazing chance to win there. I'm not convinced yet about Stones but I am looking forward to seeing how he performs in a big game like this.

Others thoughts/confidence/fears about Saturday?

Wiltshire is a lump anyway.

This explains Arsenal's midfield wedge formation

Honestly, I'd understand if he was foreign.

He's got a pretty common British name. Is it so hard?




Then again, Ross Berkeley.

Got no worries at all about Stones starting. Not sure about Barkley at the moment though. Think starting him would be a gamble in his current form.

 

[BluenosePaul]

Jags is by far a bigger loss for us than Average Jack is for then.

They call the Flamini-Arteta partnership 'Flamteta'.

I hope they get liquidated.

Will be Stones biggest game at CB. If it goes as we hope, expect the media to jump on him. Add his name to the Coleman and Barkley summer transfer rumour party...
