GW36 Chip Poll

[sbu_large_image] Dugout Discussion

5 May 2012 2287 comments

Akers

The Dugout Discussion opens for the oddity of a solitary Saturday Premier League fixture. With Chelsea and Liverpool Wembley bound this evening, we’re restricted to just one fantasy scoring opportunity. But, with over half of us backing Robin van Persie with the armband (if our Captain’s Poll is to be believed), then Arsenal versus Norwich is a game of huge significance. With mini-leagues hanging in the balance, let’s take a look at the team news to confirm whether or not our talisman starts…

Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Ramsey, Song, Gervinho, Rosicky, Benayoun, van Persie.
Norwich XI: Ruddy, Naughton, Ryan Bennett, Martin, Lappin, Johnson, Howson, Elliott Bennett, Hoolahan, Jackson, Holt.

Of course the Arsenal captain does start, and he does so in an unchanged Gunners line-up from the side that drew 1-1 at Stoke.

After a 3-0 defeat at home to Liverpool, Norwich make several changes with Grant Holt and Simeon Jackson leading the line for the Canaries.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and can be accessed right here.

    Really? Looked a definite penalty from my blurry, jumpy stream 😉 Being serious, looked like the defender didn't get the ball and just went through the Norwich player.

      Nah I think Cocquelin got enough of the ball for it not to be a foul.
      Dunno how Koscielny got away with the second one though

  They need a new lb then if Santos isn't better than Gibbs. Definitely need a CB or two.

    You're perfectly correct, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Just don't come spouting them on here. Suarez is a class player but RVP is much better. Just because he's playing for a team that can't provide him the support in midfield doesn't make him worse then Luis "I love the post" Suarez.

Norwich causing Gunners major defensive problems and few decent pen claims turned away.

Arsenal just look disinterested - perhaps still on the pop following awards night??

loving the guardian live commentary:
Bennett crosses from the right. It looks like Martin is going to win the header at the near post, but Koscielny yanks his shirt, pulls him to his knees and then overhead-kicks him in the head. No penalty
