    There was positive news from Arsène Wenger on Monday after he revealed the latest team news ahead of Tuesday’s Premier League game against Watford:
    on the team news…
    We have some players to check from Saturday. Of course all the players who stayed behind other than Granit Xhaka are available for selection. I will decide that after training today.

    on Danny Welbeck
    He’s very sharp but we’re still not out of it completely. We still have to be cautious with him. Where I agree is that physically he is ready to play. We still have to manage the times we use him and the times we rest him for a while. We will do that in the next month and then after, hopefully he will be completely fit.

    on if Welbeck has done enough to start Tuesday…
    Of course he has done enough to keep his place but at the moment we have to be cautious with him. I’m not sure how we’ll use him every three days. I think he’s a bit short for that. But the quality of the performance was there.

    Really looking forward to seeing Walcott and Welbeck (I know he's on the bench) in this game. They were both on fire against Soton in the Cup and I think both players are going to have a big part to play in the 2nd half of this season.

    This hasn't even been a flukey 2-0 lead, Watford have dominated this entire game. No-one can say they don't deserve to be winning so comfortably.

    We've made so many stroppy fouls it's ridiculous. We can't risk losing our heads.

    Can't see any reason for Sanchez to hang around after the summer, and why is Gabriel on the pitch? Rubbish performance so far.

    Will put on the real negative glasses right now....

    Arsenal loose today and on Saturday. League over.

    Arsenal loose against Bayern. CL over.

    Wenger to go. Alexis to go.

    Happy 2017.

    ****ing horrendous 1st half. Gabriel is having a mare. Get him off and get Bellerin on. Also would like to see either Walcott or Welbeck on at some stage.

    Would like to see the 'foul' for their first goal as that looked really soft. Also Ramsey got unlucky with the deflection.

    2nd goal was an abomination, poor throw and poor control from Ramsey, nobody challenging Capoue and we got punished again.

    Didn't I read earlier that Wellbeck was not in the squad?

    This happens every year, so why are we shocked?

    i have loved Wenger but I can't wait for him to go as he seems to instil a brittle mentality in the team
