Surely Mertesacker will play in the cup final against Chelsea making a back 3 of Mertesacker Mustafi and Holding.
I know we could and probably should use Monreal instead of Mertesacker but if Arsene thinks he's worth a new contract then surely he has to play him with both Gabriel and Kos out, if not it make a total mockery of handing him the contract at all.

Gunner I think monreal will play. Mert has been signed for his dressing room presence and he can dish the lucozade out on Saturday it going to be a warm day. Seriously he can't play.

It would make sense to play Monreal Steve but apart from handing out drinks what exactly is Mertesacker being paid millions​ to do if not play?
Given our injuries in his position the board should be asking that question if he doesn't play.

I do believe we have had a back three of holding, mustaffi and monreal, when mert has been available. I might be wrong. Mustaffi mert and monreal would scare me with the lack of pace. I think i'd rather bellerin play center back than mert.

It's down to Mustafi's fitness, if he's ok to play then Mertesacker will be on the bench.

Ox is 80% - may be replace Ox and Theo as we will need effort everywhere plus a little something special and Ox has done well this season in both of those areas.

I'm not talking about sentiment SY mate I'm talking about financially responsibility for the clubs money mate.
We pay millions per year to 5 CBs Gabriel Kos Mustafi Holding and Mertersaacker, we want to play 3 CBs at the back and the first two CBs are unavailable.
If you have a company electrician available but you don't think he's any good so instead you ask the company carpenter to do some rewiring, why exactly are you employing the electrician?

Per won't be "match fit" so way too slow physically and mentally.
Get your point 62.

I believe it may depend upon the fitness of Gibbs. If he is fit he can play the left wing back role and Monreal drop into the back three. If not Mertesacker may play. This wouldn't concern me too much as he would be less vulnerable to pace in the three man defensive system.
