    I think we're going to win today and Welbeck will score I can feel it in my waters.

    What is the update on Ramsey actually? Think he will start?

    He was in training yesterday so I'll imagine he'll be on the bench at least.

    Don't agree with Sherwood on the DM position.
    The same players were there last year when we got thumped.
    However let's hope they have learned lessons and do their jobs with a bit more passion and aggression this season.

    Ramsey and Welbeck start. Very strong looking team. No Toure too ☺

    Not gone on that starting line up, Ozil out wide Flamini, Wilshere and Ramsey central by the looks of it.

    Many fans swearing by Arteta yet Wenger is starting Flamini it seems.
    I can see Wilshere dropping back beside him or just ahead.
    I'm a bit worried by that team too.

    Yes I'm worried too not about the middle though about that left hand side ... Monreal and Ozil are going to get absolutely raped unless we control this game

    Would of liked to see Ozil central and maybe Rosicky or Ox out on the left to help out with Zabaleta bombing forward. Buzzing for this match COYG!!!

    The middle is my biggest worry.

    Ozil should be playing centrally and one of either Ramsey or Wilshere should be on the bench imo.

    Hopefully Wenger knows what he's doing today.

    The left side has been our Achilles heel for a long time now.
    Lots of speed going forward but lacking when defending.

    Rosicky not even making the bench again ????
    I wonder did he attempt to poison Wenger?

    Monreal has probably been our best performer so far this season. Don't think ozil should be on the wing at all. Our midfield should be fairly alright though, especially with yaya out

    Very happy that welbeck is starting up front

    Hopefully Sanchez starts on the left with Wilshere on the right but I highly doubt thats the way we will line up. Wenger loves leaving himself wide open for criticism of his tactical knowledge.

    nothing to do with the formation, i think it's wengers preference for two 10s in the team, so to do that they play with a false 11

    I don't get this. He was lambasted for his tactics against top sides last season and hes quite clearly changed our formation to a more defensive one.

    Ramseys passing has been very poor this season. Masked by his couple of goals. Hope he hits form soon

    Our beloved Ozil should be on the bench, simple as that.

    More balanced and tougher side without him.

    Stick OX on Wenger.

    Ozil needs to do something now and stop hiding, hasn't scored in ages.

    Playing more like Hleb than Dennis

    In fairness to ozil him and Alexis switched ages ago.

    But ozil has been poor again, loosing my patience with him.

    We really need to tighten up before the game is gone from another counter.

    Have to say I love sanchez's commitment and attitude. Hope it rubs off on one or 2 others....

    What a different game it would be had Danny scored.

    Confident we'll turn it around but city's tough tactics and their counter ability is a concern.

    We are well in this but need to score soon.
    Ozil and Ramsey's passing have been poor.
    Sanchez has been brilliant. Jack is doing ok.

    Actually amazing Ozil can be blamed for his defending down the left when playing down the right.

    Really think he and Ramsey look quite sluggish today.

    For all the stick Jack is getting lately he's been performing better than Aaron this season.

    Hes playing better than 3 of our 5 midfielders today and still somehow gets abuse.

    This is so frustrating. We just can't seem to create chances and look shaky as fcuk when they break.

    This is our best 11 bar LB against a not full strength city. Come on they started Lampard and Milner ffs
