Let's be positive we still have a pretty decent starting eleven ...
up front we have Alexis / Lacca / Giroud / Welbeck / Walcott / Akpom / Iwobi .... provided Alexis turns up we shouldn't need the last four to play all that often ....
in the middle Ramsey / Wilshere / Ozil / Cazorla / Xhaka / Coquelin / Maitland / Reine / Elneny .... hmmmm Ozil is class but his mind is gone, the rest would struggle at Huddersfield, it's a big worry .....
At the back Debuchy / Mert / Kos / Holding / Monreal / Mustafi / Chambers / Bellerin / Kolasinac .... not exactly a brick wall but not a sieve either ....
In goal Cech / Ospina .... solid enough
however that's with the Spanish window still open so Mustafi / Bellerin may not be here in 24 hours ..... losing two more defenders would be madness ....
On paper this squad could get top four .... but will the mind-set be correct ..... we can but hope
