Oscar hasn't been bad at all. WTF are people going on about? Quiet but up untill the yellow card he was sacrificising his own game to defend and press hard. Keep him on.

We've actually played pretty well. For once we've pressed the ball well. Encouraging.

We'll find out quite a bit after this match. Can't judge it completely off of this game but nontheless the way we play, more so than the result will be a good early inidicator.

Let's hope Torres plays brilliantly...somehow...

He's not starting.

Good. Could people stop posting the wrong lineups...sheesh.

WTF Which team is it? Rambo or Lampard?

Kudos to RDM. Ramires needed to start. Great team we have out there and can bring on Moses as well.

You sure?

Its not like Arsenal have monstrous width. They play pretty narrow as well. This is great news that the 3 Maestro's are playing. Time to test Arsenal.

Rambo not in the pivot but the 3 Maestro's start

I hope those rumours are true

Well it wasn't really obvious. To me at least.

I'm in such a great mood now, looking forward to this. I almost wouldn't be bothered too much if we lost. That's how good of a mood I'm in. I'm sure that'll change when the game starts though. Ummmm......

But Falcao does create his own chances. If our double pivot can remain strong, with a destroyer and creator, it will allow our front players to display their creativity and thus we will play free flowing football.

He's joking lol

No. Its because I find him very annoying. He should stop quoting me.

Yeah he had a great 5 or so months at the beginning of the 2011/2012 season and has been average ever since (A long time to be average). He's overrated.

Didn't I ask you to stop quoting me?

Well one day I'd like to see Mata and Oscar in midfield, just to try it. Should be against a weaker side and preferably at home. It could work like a charm and we could end up being brilliant in possession. Mata would play as the most advanced of the 3.

So I'm assuming you'd drop Mata and go with something like this: Mikel Ramires Oscar Moses Torres Hazard Would be an interesting team. Could work really well perhaps. Maybe start Mata in midfield as well and out Arsenal, Arsenal?

I really do believe he'll be ours in January. Only 3 more months until we get this monster and fans of other teams start quaking in fear. Hazard Oscar Mata Falcao Imagine that coming at you . It will be the best attack in the EPL without any doubt.

How do people rate Mata, Cazorla and Silva in relation to one another. I think Silva and Mata are very similar. Cazorla is a bit different. For me its: •Silva •Mata •Cazorla I think Mata is underrated. Silva has become grossly overrated and Cazorla is fast going down the overrated road as well. Silva is slightly better than Mata, for now. I think that may change by the end of the season. Cazorla isn't as good as either of them when it comes to the final third but is a bit more complete, all owing him to play a bit more deeper in midfield. However I don't think he excels in any area. He is a very good player but is 28, so this is basically his peak. He won't get much better. Same can be said for Silva who's room for growth is fast decreasing. I think Mata can/will become the best out of the bunch as he is still only 24.

Exactly. A voice of reason for once. I don't know what it is on this forum but so many users overrate opposition players and underrate our own. Most non-Le Arse fans can see Mata is better. Throw in the fact that he is 4 years younger and there is no way Cazorla is as good as him. He's fortunate he plays in a team that values slick, possession football. It makes him look a bit better than he is. Anyway, lets not dicuss Mata vs Cazorla on this thread, it's becoming too off topic. I'll try this in the Mata thread.

Apparently not. He should start against Nordksjajdjslan or whatever their name is, in the Champions League game midweek.
