Giroud Back to Training, Arsenal vs Manchester United

Giroud is finally back to London Colney training ground after being sidelined for around 3 months suffering fracture to his left tibia. I am certainly happy to see him back in action earlier than expected.

 

Arsenal will play Manchester United at Emirates this weekend. Considering the recent Arsenal's performance and forms, Wenger will be relieved to have Giroud and Walcott back for his selection.

Can the Emirates faithful see Giroud and Danny Welbeck playing together for the first time? I hope so. However, Podolski will sense the awkwardness of Giroud's return which I don't feel good. Wenger should really give the World Cup winner Prince Poldi some chances to prove his worth. 

Wenger have been using 4-1-4-1 or 4-2-3-1 with Welbeck being the sole first choice up front. I would rather see a 4-2-2, pairing Welbeck with Giroud or Podolski. Welbeck is fast and will do the running and passing jobs, while Giroud/ Podolski is strong and tall, they can either hold the ball and create opportunities for teamates to score or they can just finish the ball themselves.

Whether it is 4-1-4-1 or 4-2-3-1, another Frenchman, Flamini seems Arsene Wenger's top favourite. I don't understand why. Flamini does not have body like Matic, passing like Fabregas, dribbling like Wilshere, not even shooting skills like Ramsey or Arteta.

Why continue to froze Tomas Rosicky on the bench? The Little Mozart is far better than Flamini and Arteta, at least.

Midfield duo Ozil and Diaby suffered more injury setbacks, can't afford to rely on Alexis Sanchez any longer. Somebody must take the responsibilities as well.

Hope to see Wenger makes some brave changes to the first eleven vs MU.

Maybe, just maybe Wenger should try any of the below?

4-4-2 - Szczesny, Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Gibbs, Alexis, Ramsey, Rosicky, Chamberlain, Welbeck, Giroud or

4-2-3-1 - Szczesny, Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Gibbs, Ramsey, Chamberlain, Alexis, Cazorla, Walcott, Giroud or

4-3-3 - Szczesny, Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Gibbs, Ramsey, Arteta, Rosicky, Alexis, Walcott, Welbeck

Good luck Arsenal! It is time to salvage something for this season. 

If Arsenal cannot beat Van Gaal's already-falling Manchester United now, I don't see how they can do it in future.

Sign me probably? :P
