This has to be our line-up.

I would go with:



and where the hell is Vermaelen? I would play him if he was fit but he's not going to be. Mertesacker was atrocious

Özil needs to play. I'd consider leaving him out if we were away but he has to start. I'd also play Tomas too.

Ozil either needs to be dropped, or start him as a false 9 instead of Giroud.

Is Flamini available no?

This if not:


Rosicky has to start. If we play with that team we'll win.

Need a win here to make up for the pile of shank that was served up today.

Wengers policy of having one striker and hiring injured loan players is coming to fruition.

But we will start with Cazorla and maybe Monreal.

Rosicky in the middle. Chamberlain is far too attacking as well. And, I'd play Wilshere for Cazorla. At least, Wilshere drives us forward and on the right, he'd be fine. Cazorla forgot 2 yard passing and first touch today.

Knowing us, we're somehow going to make ManUre look good.

Obv wrong thread


Was looking forward to this but not anymore

World beaters. van Persie will suddenly look like Ronaldo. Mata will be Messi and that Janujaz might be young Iniesta... Their defense may look like ours under Graham. Yeah, right.

Özil has no right to start the next game - cheaply losing the ball when your team is already struggling, subsequently laying down on the floor - not bothering to get up, track back and make up for your mistake is inexcusable and that should be made clear to him. I personally don't think we're shooting ourselves in the foot by not letting him start the game. Arteta has been poor lately as well, not just today - the only reason he's in my line-up is because quite frankly we don't have anyone else to play there (Flamini suspended?) although Rosicky could work, but it's a risk playing Wilshere/Rosicky as your midfield pivot. Not sure if it would work and not sure if it's the time to start experimenting.


Wouldn't be against this either:

Szczesny
Sagna Mertesacker Koscielny Gibbs
Rosicky . Arteta
Ox-Cham Cazorla Podolski
Giroud
