I get the feeling we won't be buying anyone.

They won't. That's the type of match that's Arsenal's forté. They always smack the minnows around. It'll probably be a 4-0. I'm not expecting Arse to drop many points against anyone other than the top sides.

Have a feeling Le Arse will start to slip up soon enough. Of the utmost importance that we get all 3 points against the likes of Sunderland and Stoke. My preferred team tomorrow: --------------Torres------------- Schürrle----Mata----Willian ---------Mikel------Ramires-------- Cole----Terry-----Cahill----Iva --------------Cech--------------

Have an awful feeling that he'll end up at United if we don't jump soon. He and Barkley both. Not saying I want Barkley, but these are just the type of player they love to buy. Perfect Cole replacement.

I absolutely love Oscar, but he often looks amazing against weak opposition. He fades into the background a lot of the time and goes missing when we need him the most and doesn't exactly make everyone around him better. Mata does.Only problem is that when we play quality opponents Hazard/Oscar/Mata doesn't seem to work well. Such a frustrating problem to have since you don't want to see either of Juan or Oscar on the bench. All the more reason I wish SO FUCKING BADLY that we had a world class DM so that Oscar could move back to CM. Think it could be his best position.

This team should have 3 undroppables. Cech, Terry, and Juan Mata. This guy has played almost no football for us in the league and was pure class today. And you could easily tell he wasn't even at his sharpest. The only time Mata should be on the bench is when we need bags of pace to exploit an opponent. Oscar has looked out of it for the last few matches. Time to give a fresh Juan Mata a long run of games.

Willian is so silky smooth!

Willian is so silky smooth!

Oscar and Lamps for Shürrle and Mata please.

We are getting fucking DOMINATED by Basel! This is absolutely embarrassing so far.

Has Oscar had a single touch in 22 mintutes?

Can someone please explain to me why/how we're making Basel look like a top Premier League side here!? FFS. Don't see any way they don't score at least one here today.

Jose better have one hell of a player lined up to swap Mata for. Think he's almost certainly off in January. We'll regret selling him immediately unless we bring in someone as good as he is.

What's up with Luiz?

Please no. Would flop here. Hold off on the striker front until summer and reinforce the midfield and/or defense in January.

Anyone have Jose post match video?

It's seriously fucking depressing watching us play sometimes. Fucking dominate them all game and still can't score.

I'm sorry, but Lamps and Iva have been embarrassingly bad. One can't cross a ball and the other can't complete a pass.

We are so SO poor going forward. We have no plan or ideas in attack. Just get it around the box and use individual talent to create something out of nothing. So hard to watch.

As nice as Mata is and as well as he speaks about doing what is necessary for the team, I just don't think he'll put up with this much longer. He'll be sold I feel. He knows he can be nailed on, first choice just about anywhere else, but unfortunately for him we have a prototypical Jose player in his position. If we can swap or sell him in exchange for a world class CM like Gündogan it would be best for everyone. BVB wanted Kagawa back, so why not give the a better player in exchange for a player we need? Just a thought.

Lamps starts again. *sigh*

Pretty sure I can make the same prediction for just about every one of our games so I may as well do it again. We'll start off slowly with the majority of possession and not really do much in the first half. We'll have 1 or 2 shots on goal, neither of which will cause too much trouble. 0-0 at the half. We'll then kick on at around the 75th minute and end up scoring 2. Part of me has a bad feeling about this game though. Like WBA scoring a stoppage time winner or something. Hopefully Jose has our boys playing angry.

I hate when we play early on Saturday. Like last week, if we lose I'm depressed for the rest of the weekend and don't want to watch any other football. I'm gonna go ballistic if we lose. May put a hole through my tv.

It wasn't just the Newcastle match I'm basing my opinion on. Hell, to be honest some of our other players were so poor that I didn't really pay Lamps too much attention. He hasn't been up to the standard necessary for a team trying to win a title. He looks way off the pace these days. He gets blown by easily and kills breaks fairly often with loose passes. You could excuse this stuff the past couple seasons because he'd still knock in double-digit goals, but he hasn't been scoring and is a liability defending. It's just my opinion that he should only be used as a late game sub if we need a late goal. No way he should be first choice out there like he has been. Hasn't been detrimental to us thus far, but we'd be shredded and destroyed by better sides with him in there.
