Sanchez and Carzola in our pocket

WHY ARE WE IN RED?! :rant:

@ can never finish what he starts

I'll finish you in a minute.

[Nero 1,794]

We can win without striker?

Yes, We Can.

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

We don't need Zouma for this.

[kellzfresh 7,226]

No need for zouma in midfield, arsenal are faster than manutd and less physical, so we need ramires more.

[Hybrid Angel 2,130]

We are better than them and we should beat them. Press and force mistakes and capitalise on those mistakes. Arsenal are susceptible to pressing against bigger sides and we need to take advantage of this. If we want to press, playing Luis is a must. He thrives in a pressing type of Football. However, I don't think he will play.

Courtois

Azpilicueta - Cahill - Terry - Luis

Mikel - Matic

Willian - Oscar - Hazard

Costa/Remy/Ivanovic

If that team with brana happens, I will post a picture of me eating a pickle ( i hate pickels.)

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

We don't need Ramires, he's been terrible in almost every game he's played this season. Or Mikel who hasn't played in months. We don't need Zouma starting in midfield, for the reasons Kellzfresh said. Enough of this reactive shit. We aren't a small club cowering in fear of mighty Arsenal. Remember, this is the same team that got played off the park by Monaco when they were "good form" . I've already said this reactive, "pragmatic" way of thinking slowly creeping into Jose and some of the fans is bad for the long term evolution of the team.

Courtois

Azpilicueta Cahill JT Luis

Matic Fabregas

Willian Oscar Hazard

Costa/Remy (if either is fit to start)

Are you seriously telling me the team above isn't more than capable of giving Arsenal one hell of a game regardless of what form they are in? I absolutely believe in those players.

[ZOS 580]

no ramires and no zouma please. if we need cesc in the number 10 role then put Mikel in. Otherwise our usual 11 will do

[Jase 43,479]

Michael Oliver will be the referee for this game. The last time he officiated our game was against Hull. He was also the referee who officiated our League Cup second leg tie against Liverpool.

And for the midweek game against Leicester, Mark Clattenburg will be in charge of that one.

Michael Oliver will be the referee for this game.

IMO the best referee in the league by a country mile.

Hope I didn't jinx that.

FFS.

[Pizy 17,860]

Agree that we shouldn't play Ramires here and definitely no Zouma. Play our early season XI who should all be well up for this.

Hope José instructs Oscar and Willian to annoy the shit out of their frail little midfielders and not allow them to get comfortable.

[magic weeds 446]

I think Willian will be the keyhaving been rested against United. Oscar shoould reclaim his spot. Fab back alongside Matic. IMO, Mourinho should try Cuadrado at right wing with Willian inthe middle of the trio.

[The Skipper 20,593]

In an ideal world, our team would be:

Courtois

Azpilicueta - Zouma - Terry - Luis

Matic - Mikel

Willian - Fabregas - Hazard

Costa/Remy

Unfortunately we won't see that though.
