Ok seriously, could someone explain what is wrong with Chadli being subbed, Townsend switching to the left and Lamela playing on the right...??

Why the WTF rating? Good idea if Chadli's not playing well... no?


I suppose in a hypothetical world it's fine. Just as in a hypothetical world we could in theory replace Lloris with Brad if he's not playing well. Alternatively we can just see how it goes and stop trying to pre empt stuff that hasn't happened yet.

Or we could just enjoy the build up and feel free to anticipate how Lamela will come on and who might be subbed to make space for him.. without anyone needing to dictate what we are allowed to consider..

Relax Hombre. No-one likes a whiney little ratings whore and it was probably a mistake. Just post what you feel and take the rough with the smooth and it will all balance out. As long as you believe in what you post, who really cares what anyone else thinks.

For the record I agree with you and will rate accordingly.

So looks like Adebayor, BAE and Lennon are going tomorrow, not even on the bench.

Read somewhere that only Hazard at Chelsea has created more openings for shots on goal than Chadli in the league this season

We win the midfield battle and limit the supply to Walcott making him on the periphery then we'll win this.

Nobody is mentioning Townsend having the space to attack their fullback and I hope they leave him in one on one situations because he could be the main catalyst going forward for us.

Also, we have great options whether we are winning or losing and this could also be the difference maker but all in all, I'm still hugely positive!

Ghose Gooners on SS1 package: No Bale, no danger?

HAHAHAHAHA.

Lamela and Soldado will cause them problems.

very intrigued to see the clash of two totally different midfields. Arsenal's short and skilful fairies and our Tall pacey powerful Giants

I like Chadli. He gives me more connfidence than a line up with Dempsey.

Our ability to control the match and maintain possession is 10x better this year than last. This, in part to some players being in the lineup (Paulinho, Chadli), and some not being in it (Dempsey).

Surprised kaboul and Eriksen aren't on the bench but not many surprises with the first 11. Worried about rose against Theo. Don't expect a win but I never do against this spawny lot.
