Is there any doubt at this point that Welbeck is better than Giroud? I'm kind of glad Giroud got injured now because I wonder if we would have gotten Welbeck if he hadn't.
Yeah, Welbeck hasn't shown me Giroud's flicks and brilliant take downs yet, but he's such a threat to get in behind that he gets so much more space to bring the ball down, control it, and make a play. I'm very excited about Welbeck.

Santi looked good centrally. I've never really liked him out wide.
I thought one of the reasons we played so well was because of how well he kept the ball. Gala would press hard on him when he took the ball, and he would do his Santi wizard shite, absorb pressure, beat it, and play into space. He was huge there. Ramsey has been taking so many chances and been untidy with the ball, and it's stifled our attack. I wonder how we can incorporate Santi more in that deep role.

Watching Welbeck get that hat trick yesterday was awesome! If he can sort out his finishing and be consistent like he was yesterday, he's going to be great. He always gets chances from pace, power and work ethic.

against certain teams, i think santi in the deep role works. *really* don't think it'd work for chelsea though. if he's fit enough to give us 60 mins, I'd start diaby over flamini and charge he and wilshere with playing very defensive and allow ozil and welbeck, aided by the pace of alexis and ox, to hit on the counter.
i know diaby probably isn't optimally ready for a match of this intensity, but i just really hate flamini and this is one of those matches where he'll get a yellow in the first 30 minutes. he's not mobile and not great with positioning and is liable to do something dumb. we need a bit more passing acumen for their pressing too.
it's imperative that we score the first goal sunday. if we can do that, they'll have to take more risks and we are set up to be a super counter-attacking side. if not, we could be in for a real struggle.
