I'm happy with Kagawa starting but Moyes has to allow him and Rooney to rotate. Pointless having both stand on each others toes
 
We could have played Fabio in the Champions League to see if he would cut it for this game if we knew Rafael was going to be in doubt. Barring that, we could have played Valencia at right back with Nani ahead of him.
 
We're not going to be attacked that much down the flanks so us being narrow won't be a problem. Arsenal play without real wingers remember.
 
Shame Rafa is injured.

Other than that it is decent enough lineup. Mercifully no Giggs and Rio in the starting 11.
 
Good line up although when you pay nearly 30m for a midfielder and he cant get in the side for a CB there's obviously a problem. I guess Jones is in there to do a job on Ozil.
 
We're going to miss Rafael's attacking threat. Disappointed Januzaj doesn't start, hopefully Kagawa plays well. Glad to have Carrick back.
 
Lovely lineup, brilliant to see Kagawa in there, he's a perfect fit against a side like Arsenal.

Januzaj on the bench works for me. Gives us a great option in the second half if we're level or behind. Him and Hernandez are great options coming on against a tired Arsenal.
 
Much prefer the official line-up to the fake one being touted around. I'd probably have put Jones at RB and played Fellaini with Carrick but we've got plenty of options on the bench if (when) required.
 
De Gea​
Vidic ------------Evans​
Smalling -------------------------------- Evra​
Jones -- Carrick​
Valencia -------------------------------- Kagawa​
Rooney​
van Persie​
 
I understand why he's not playing Januzaj. Let's hope Kagawa is having a good game. The bigger surprise is Jones ahead of Clevs in midfield

We have a very strong bench as well
 
I'm worried about Smalling-Valencia. Don't think Arsenal will have too much trouble trouble shutting that side down so a lot will boil down to how Rooney plays IMO.
 
People going mental because Kagawa starts ahead of Januzaj. How bizarre. Its not fecking Young.

Moyes should have been brave and played Valencia at right back and played Adnan in front of him.
 
Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Arteta, Flamini, Ramsey, Ozil, Cazorla, Giroud.
 
Kagawa might leave us open somewhat but he definitely gives us a level of control that we wouldn't get from other midfielders.

I think he'll have a strong 60 minutes before making way for Januzaj.
 
OFFICIAL ARSENAL XI: Szczęsny; Sagna, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Gibbs; Arteta, Flamini; Cazorla, Ramsey, Özil; Giroud.




That's a good lineup :nervous:
 
I hope Rooney and Kagawa interchange. Really want to see Kagawa playing off RVP in that no.10 role, we looked a more threatening team against Sociedad when that happened.
 
God dammit, why does Moyes hate Kagawa so mu... oh ... err ... god dammit, why isn't Adnan playing? feck you Moyes!
