celebrate hanging in without Walcott or Cazorla because soon we'll be without (e.g.) Wilshere and Ramsey. it is normal to have injuries throughout the season.
There isn't a single team in the league that has missed any player the caliber of either Cazorla or Walcott due to injury nevermind both of them at the same time. Injuries happen but what has happened really is not a normal situation.
Edit: Also, having Walcott and Cazorla (and Podolski and Chamberlain) out injured at the same time is considerably more harmful than having Wilshere and Ramsey out in my opinion and it's not even close. Cazorla's quality speaks for itself but also just because the squad is robust doesn't mean that Walcott (or Podolski or Chamberlain) isn't hugely important to how we play.
