I think Naughton has done pretty well over the last few games. He has certainly been better than the majority of the team.

100%. He's a solid RB, he's put in some good performances there. Credit to him for not letting his below average performances at LB affect his confidence.

Out Lamela, Capoue, Vlad and Dawson, doubts over Ade, Sandro, Moose and Walker so worst case Lloris - Naughton, Kaboom, Vertonghen, Rose - Paulinho, Bentaleb - Townsend(or Chadli or Siggy), Eriksen, Lennon - Soldado with Friedel, Vejlkovic, Fryers, Kane, Chadli, Siggy and tea lady making up the bench.

Arsenal have potentially 11 out including Özil, both left backs, Wilshere, Ramsey, Walcott, Rosicky and likes and they can still field Szcecny - Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen - Flamini, Arteta - Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla, Podolski - Giroud. That's depressing.

Why don't we play to our friking strength

................Lloris
Naughton Kab Vert...Rose
.....Dembele..Sandro.. Paulinho
..............Eriksen
.........\Adebayor.. saldado

if demebele is injured, then bentelab, or bentaleb for Paulihio.

how can we not get anything from the game with that team. Drop the wingers, beef up midfield.

considering Walker is out, even if fit i will drop him.

not really bothered who we play anymore, seems to be the same naff football anyway, only name that is a cert on merit is Eriksen and lennon should definately be dropped but doubt that will happen

Seeing we have no fullbacks, we might as well not play with any.



..........................................Lloris.......................................



....................Kaboul..............Verts.............Fryers..........




Azza...................dembele...........bentaleb................Andros.....


............................Eriksen............Paulinho......


........................................Ade..............................



Probably get smashed.....but fuck it.
A recipe for pure, unadulterated - and, quite frankly, brutal - flank rape.

I agree actually..as long as Bentaleb and Paulinho are actually given some instructions as to who is doing what.

But if Sandro is out I genuinely don't see what we do.

Just read the team news on the official site and there's no mention of Sandro. They list the definite one's who are out - Vlad, Dawson, Lamela and Capoue....and three doubts are Walker, Adebayor and Dembele.

So do we assume Sandro is fit and good to go do you think?

We literally have to play 451 to get anything from this game and totally jam the midfield. And also kick them a lot.

Draw is the very best case scenario we can reasonably shoot for.

I'm prepared to be optimistic on that!

And if those three are out we go Naughton, Soldado and Chadli. Which really isn't that bad.

Fuck our squad is strong. What the hell is wrong with us?

Lloris
Naughton Kaboul Vertonghen Rose
Paulinho Sandro Eriksen
Lennon Soldado Chadli

Prediction best case 1-2 . Worst case 0-4 depending on which team Timmy puts out there. Obviously if Dembele, Walker and Adebayor are fit they have to play . If they do and we get a sensible 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation with Walker for Naughton, Dembele for Paulinho and Adebayor for Soldado we have an outside chance of a draw.
