Haven't heard "illusory domination" for a while, Wenger might be saving that one for a special occasion.

I think we'll get a hiding. City will be so up for this game they'll come at us 100% from the whistle.
I'm expecting a battering and will be relieved if it is only 0-3

if Silva plays then in all likelihood it will be 2 or 3-0
if he doesnt then I expect a close game and a 1-0 or 2-1 defeat

I don't agree that we will lose heavily tomorrow, we still are able to play ok at home in a big match

Obviously want the lads to get a result but reality is we won't. For me Kallstrom has to come in for Arteta who is reminding me more and more of Denilson these days.

My team:

Schez, Bac, Gibbs, BFG, Verm, Ox, Gnabry, Flamini, Kallstrom, Rosicky, Giroud.

Cazorla looks fooked so bench him.

Kallstrom is not up to this level.
on Tuesday night all he did was give the ball away.

Cazorla will be the first name on the team sheet.

Thomas Vermaelen....where did it all go wrong? I thought we'd unearthed a gem after his first season, now his mere presence on the starting team has me soiling my kaks.

You cant tell that from a brief cameo appearence though really Rob, he did at least manage to pass the ball at an angle of greater than 90 degrees several times, one pass was actually pretty good, long ball that could have put them under pressure if it had been controlled by a better header.

He does have some reputation for scoring from free kicks, we have been pi** poor at that this season.

Santi has given the ball away far far too often this season, been a real blot on his game :(
