I would be surprised if Cech and Luis didn't start and Salah didn't get any significant match time. ...................Cech............ . ...Azpili Branna Cahill Luis... ....................Matic.............. ........Ramires...............Oscar...... ...Willian...........Costa.........Hazard Also a good opportunity to rectify all the defects in our 4-3-3. Can't see them beating us.
To me, he had a decent enough game and was, obviously, overshadowed by Costa, Cesc and Hazard. Didn't expect him to get a lot of stick here. Like Tomo said, he is vital to maintain the balance in our side.
Another tactical masterclass by taking Schurrle off and switching to the good old 4-3-3, essentially a 4-1-4-1 with Matic as the lone holding player. Played Ramires to his strengths and got the best out of everyone today. We're lucky he is one of us.
Clearly showed how zonal marking is going to suck f not done properly. Blame on Wenger for that goal and for not getting a win. Glad we'll face little competition from Arsenal now. There's defensive line is very thin after Debuchy's injury.
He and Costa lifted us today after that unfortunate own goal. Lead the cavalry today and completely devastated the Swansea fullbacks once he got out of second gear. Lots of key passes but too bad he didn't get a goal.
Guess I'll have to make up rumours about his pulled hamstrings again so he'll score 4 against Schalke. This beast has no soft underbelly. Crazy perfect.
The way both him and Hazard makes so much space in the packed penalty box is unreal. It's like they're almost taunting the defenders to make a challenge. Showed real flair. So much fun to watch.
We should be getting used to goal fests with the sort of midfield and that big man up front. Little shaky at the back but our defenses tend to improve as the season progresses. So not a lot to complain there. Today was fun.
