Get ready for some Flamini in the back line. I imagine we'll see plenty of Bellerin. Maybe Podolski can put in a shift at LB.

ETA: Ozil to left back. It only makes sense.

i've been beating a dead horse on twitter, but it'd be absolute madness if we started our only backup CB (chambers) at RB for 2+ months. bellerin *has* to get the majority of those starts or at least be given a chance.

Trial by fire. Let's see how he performs. Here is how we line up if Kos isn't fit:

Flamini-Chambers-Per-Bellerin

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Going by Arsene's tactics so far this season, Ozil at left back is the only option.

If they are removed he is out for a minimum of 2 weeks of zero physical activity. He will lose weight and need another two weeks to get back in match fitness. Yep, a month.

We could get fricking drilled tomorrow.

Marco Reus and Mats Hummels are out of action for Dortmund. So, at least they'll be missing their 2 best players.

Basically, we have ZERO first-team back ups for right, back, left back and center back going into this game, correct? FFS

The more negative I am going into a match the better we seem to perform.

So do we sign a couple FA defenders off the bargain-bin table? I don't see what other choice we have.

Not sure about the cleanliness of London's hospitals. If he has the surgery, he could get MRSA or C-Diff and be out even longer.

Y'all screwed

Ozil behind Welbeck, wings on each side. It's beautiful. (stolen from Reddit)

Glass, it's more like a week to two weeks rather than two week minimum- IF he gets a tonsillectomy. It depends on how well controlled his pain is. I'm on my ENT rotation right now and just asked the doc, so trust me on this one.

My son just had one. And he had major complications. He will lose weight and not be close to match fitness in 2 weeks.

I'll trust my own experience.

I'm not joking. My son had major problems and even if he didn't he was unable to practice in any training sessions with his school and club team for two weeks. He was down for a month because of the complications and lost 12 pounds and he is skinny as frick anyway.
