attacking midfielder's shoulders. The Englishman produced a strong outing last week at the Emirates and the duo will prove to be a real test for United's midfield and backline. In terms of striker choice against United, Giroud's selection seems a given with Gervinho injured and Walcott likely to be benched after playing a full 120 minutes at Reading in midweek. He has been impressive in recent weeks and is the perfect player to play the lone striker role as he is strong in the air , solid on the ball, and can hold up play, distribute well and he can finish. But like Pires said, the goals will come for the Frenchman and to score against United will be a great way to get the ball rolling once again. What are your thoughts on the acquisition of Cazorla? Do we congratulate Pires for his 'involvement' or is he just jumping on the bandwagon after the move worked out and the Spaniard has since produced superb performances? Feel free to comment below or in the allarsenal forum under Cazorla's thread .
