It's only Friday, and pregame nervousness is already starting to take over. I know it's because of what happened last year in our big games away from home, but I just can't shake it that Arsenal are going to get turned over tomorrow at Goodison.

A win, and this could be an absolutely brilliant start to a season if we follow it up with Champions League qualification and then a game away to Leicester next weekend.

Could we actually be heading into the international break with 9 points out of 9 in the league and securely in the Champions League group stages? Dear Lord Baby Jesus, please let this happen!

I'm not optimistic. We've looked lost for ideas offensively since the start of the preseason, Benfica being the exception. And Arteta, who to me has been our steadiest player this young season, is out.

I really hope we see Rosicky and Ox get starts. I'd love to see Sanchez up top and Ox on the right. Ox can keep Baines honest. Sanchez loves to cut in so much I'm afraid he'll leave acres of space for Baines.

My ideal lineup

Scez
Debuchy-Chambo-Kosc-Monreal
Flamini-Rambo
Ox-Rosicky-Jack/Santi
Sanchez

Enough 4-3-3. If we get stale, bring on Campbell to play wide left as a second half sub to run at tired legs. I also think Giroud is more effective right now as a sub.

if ozil isn't ready to go, i want

szcz
debuchy-per (or chambers)-kos-monreal
ox-rambo-flamini-rosicky
sanchez
giroud

give sanchez the free role he has for chile, give jack and santi breathers in advance of besitkas, and have better defensive help on the wings, with additional speed too, to neutralize the threat of baines and coleman (if he plays).
