Why do people rate Chadli? He doesn't have the confidence or pace to go past his man. He has a good touch and then passes it back to the supporting fullback. Why do people want him to start? I would prefer giving Bentaleb a start and playing lennon and eriksen on the wings.

Cos Chadli is bare good pal.

No I think he has probably been on a par with Lamela. Neither have settled, though he did look good against Southampton.

He hasn't really been given a run of game, he's a talented player though.

I think Tim will play:

Lloris;
Walker, Dawson, Chiriches, Rose;
Lennon, Eriksen, Capoue, Townsend;
Soldado, Ade.

I agree. And that's the team I want as well.

I'm glad Holtby's back though. I want to see him come on for the last half an hour and do his Duracell Bunny impression, taking maximum advantage of the scum's tired legs.

I want him to play

Lloris;
Walker, Dawson, Chiriches, Rose;
Lennon, Eriksen, Capoue, Chadli;
Soldado, Ade.

Both ridiculously open teams.

I really want us to match them up in midfield. If we play as open as we have in the last few games they will play through us with ease and we'll end up conceding early and chasing the game.

Madness to play 442 against a arsenal. We'll never see the ball.

I called it a 442 in inverted brackets for the reason that I don't think it plays out that way when we play someone like Eriksen on one side and a winger on the other side. When we have the ball Eriksen tends to come inside and basically make it a 433. It's kind of lopsided, and potentailly leaves Rose open to attack and being outnumbered, but it seems to have worked so far. Tomorrow will be the biggset test of it yet though (if he plays it) hence my comment about wanting to see it against a strong side that plays one striker.

If we play Rose and Eriksen on the left side against Walcott they'll get raped.

I hear what you're saying (and did infer that myself too). Walcot can do that to most teams to be fair. But I'm trying to second guess what Tim will play, not what I want to see.

I'd play Chadli in front of Rose (I think Chad is available?). They did OK against him at their place this season.

Really nervous about this one - "Giroud the Le'Arse" and "Frog eyes OZIL" will be playing tomorrow - We need a strong team - need Capoue and Dembele in the middle ... Chadli to safe guard Rose. Going to be very very tough ...
