Sheasy played in midfield in last season's game and scored a good goal.
 
Fletcher was always going to start...

Shite, I don't fancy that midfield away from home.

Come on lads!

No, he came on as a late sub and was doing a piss poor job of it
 
Now I'm a tad more nervous...
 
They were both okay against a physical Bolton side on Saturday, let's get behind them.

I thought they were over-run, Bolton got too much of the ball but were too papp to make anything of it.

Arsenal wont be, this is not good.

Flu, for feck sake? Its one of the biggest games of the season ffs.

We need a really big game from Rooney tonight in Scholes's absence.

Agreed.

Smith and Scholes in midfield would have done the job.

We need to bully the feckers, O'Shea and Fletcher are the two weakest players in our squad, for feck sake.

Just apalling.

How is it appalling?

As they are not even on the bench, Smithy and Scholes clearly aren't available.

Errrrrrrr, were you there? Bolton had no ball at all. one shot on goal the whole match and absolutely no midfield.
 
Saha and Park are the only ones who might get on. Also Richardson and Pique and Howard.
 
Grow up - if they are sick they can't play. Fletch has played well against the Arse in the past (2004 SF for instance) and O'shea is the best we have given the injuries and sickness. Both are capable of stepping up and playing well - if they have a stinker then you can piss and moan.

Pires
Fabregas
Hleb
Gilberto
Reyes

Henry

Worried about fullbacks being done, obviously. Hleb hasn't exactly inspired me with confidence either. A bit lightweight/fancy-dan.

And worringly it looks like a 4-5-1.

and Bardsley if I'm not mistaken.Got it off Soccernet.WTF with this midfield pairing of Flectcher and O'Shea???
 
I was just getting my hopes high of seeing a pairing of Scholes and Smith in the middle of the park...but was left dissapointed to see Fletcher and O'Shea
 
Will be interested to see how O'Shea and Fletcher do against a five man midfield...

what he said.
 
Well enough moaning about Fletch and Sheasy beeing the duo in the middle of the park. Let's get behind them and cross our fingers.

Come on lads!
