based on the games so far:
cech monreal kos mert bellerin coq ramsey walcott ozil chambo giroud
Switching the FBs like that will certainly confuse Chelsea...
Versus Chelsea I'd like to see:
Cech Bellerin Per Kos Monreal Coq Ramsey Wilshere Özil Ox Theo
Cech Bellerin Per Kos Monreal Coquelin Ramsey Ox Ozil Walcott Giroud
Although playing Walcott up front has some merit as well since Giroud is pretty hopeless against Terry and Cahill.
I'd be happy with either of those two teams.
i think we'll see Mirth's team
I'd go with this:
--------------------Cech Bellerin--Mertesacker--Koscielny--Gibbs ----------Coquelin------Ramsey Wilshere-----------Özil----------Chambo -------------------Walcott

I'd go with this as well, but you can be sure he's going to play one of Ramsey or Wilshere on the wings to be more "defensively sound"...
giroud has looked crap lately, whether that's fitness or just him not being in good form, i don't know. plus chelsea's defense are set up to completely nullify him. i'd go full midge and play theo at point.

Agreed. Though I get the feeling Debuchy is Wenger's first choice RB. Also not too sure about Feo's effectiveness on the left, so I'd switch him up with Ox, but that's a minor detail.
Start Wilsh. I don't think Jack was bad at all, and he should have had an assist had Theo not cocked it up. The player to bench is either Giroud or Theo, probably Giroud since the Chelsky CBs have him sussed.

Feeeeeeeeeooooooooooooooo
Giroud has had nothing on Terry and Cahill for I don't know how many attempts now. He is the kind of striker they are very comfortable with, and he has been firmly in their collective pockets every single time. Playing Giroud again and hope for better luck seems ill advised.
please?
Why are we not eating anything?
Cech, Debuchy, Per, Kos, Monreal, Coq, Cazorla, Özil, Ramsey, Ox, Giroud vs Chelsea.
Team picks itself atm. Theo and Wilsh can make a difference from the bench.
Debuchy? 😆
Debuchy had a pretty good game against Lyon and had a pretty good understanding with Ox, think he's very underrated on here. That being said, I'd start with Bellerin until he loses form, which is inevitable for a 19yr old.
He is our 1st choice RB, so its kind of obvious he starts against Chelsea. You need men to win a war.
