Depends on who's fit and available for them and us, we desperately need Ramsey for bit of strength in midfield, also Santi needs to play further forward than yesterday to be anything other than anonymous, Giroud was again poor yesterday, the ball just never sticks to him and its not like he puts himself about giving the defence trouble like a Drogba or Adebayor, I can't remember the last decent game he had (not including coming on as sub vs Everton and sticking away 2 chances against a stretched defence) I'm not sure I wouldn't rather have the postie

Didnt think Giroud was bad V Sunderland, two goals and an assist. He is limited in parts, not apparrently in others.

Anyway hes off allegedly :lol:

I can't see Wenger's losing streak against Mourinho changing here at all. Easy Chelsea win :(

If it was Chelsea they’d be ranting about a “Mourinho performance” and champions win playing ugly blah blah. We contained them and won, missing Walcott Ozil Ramsey too; since when was that not enough?
I agree, I am the first to admit it was a poor performance yesterday, but we managed to get 3 points in a game that we were awful in, and the team deserves credit for their ability to grind out the result.
To be honest if people want to complain about the performance, or lambast individuals after the fact, that’s entirely your prerogative, but days like yesterday really aren’t made for that much analysis. Sp*rs played well, and what did they get for it? No points, that’s what. No points and a manager who I sincerely hope stays there forever because he’s goddam hilarious.

I can't see us winning this one by any chance, or even getting a draw. Our injury list is once again massive, our only real striker is totally useless and and all that usual stuff. We are where we are because of those same reasons we always are - lack of squad depth. It could be otherwise if our manager's done those actions every other manager would have done. But, what can you do now as you've already shitted your pants.

We will probably dig in like against scum, but this time we're having much more skilled team against us. I can't see us saved even if Woich, BFG and Kos had the best match ever. 3-0 to Chavs :cussing:

They have a midweek game so hopefully they'll tire.

I really hope so. But, I don't see fatigue being a problem for top European teams as most of them has appropriate rotation options. Tiredness on the other hand is our annual problem.

I'd take a point from this.
The only person we have returning from injury is Kallstrom.

We could really do with Caz turning up for this.

By some miracle I have some hope that he will score from a set piece. We really have been shocking with set pieces & corners this season. Apart from Wallys great header in the scum cup match I am struggling to think of goals from either. Kallstrom (Reputedly) is down as a set piece specialist.

At the moment our corners =BFG being shirt pulled so he cant move then they go down the field and score with BFG out of position :evil: Just V Saints home we got a pen for that.

Wouldnt it be ironic (And somewhat unlikely) that Kalstrom steps up, scores V Citeh and The Chavs who then go on to both draw V The Mousers and we win the double.

After a Sunday like that we can all join Hlebby :oops:

Really cant see why the chavs are so highly regarded - take hazard and Oscar out of their team and they are very average going forward. Defensively they will enjoy playing against giroud and matic is a strong ball winner in midfield but this is the most average chav team for years.

Of course we cant forget the fact that wenker has never beaten moaninho and that will be a factor imo but I can see us getting a draw if wenker doesn't balls it up with his substitutions/changes :roll:
