re: Arsenal 2014/15 Season Long Thread

i'm at the point where if arsene started coquelin or hayden there i'd think, while knowing one's shite and the other isn't ready, "yeah, probably a good call. at least worth a chance!"

i think we could catch chelsea on the break, though perhaps i'm giving arsene more credit for tactical flexibility than he's earned. it'll be a tough match but we're gonna need to absorb pressure with flamini and, hopefully, jack deep, alexis and ox tracking back, and then keeping ozil and welbz forward for quick counters. will be interesting to see if jose does what he has in other big matches so far (willian wide, cesc 10, ramires CM with Matic) or if he goes with his typical top XI against lesser teams (schurrle wide, oscar 10, cesc CM). we could counter more easily against the latter, which is probably why we won't see it. that said, oscar would be better at pressing flamini than cesc will. could be helpful for us to give our worst passer that extra split second to make a decision.
