We're playing against pretty much the last team that spanked us 3-0. Thankfully we don't have Vermaelen anymore and they don't have Barkley and Deulofeu playing. They will exploit our weak points with Lukaku being pushed out to give Monreal a torrid time again. We will get bullied in midfield again with McGeady, Barry and McCarthy steam rollering through midfield.
I suspect Chambers might give way for a Merts return but if we stick him just in front of the back 4 in a 4-1-2-1-2 formation we might stop the bullying and they will have to worry about their lack of pace with Jagielka and Distin up against Alexis and Ox and maybe Campbell later on. Sadly with Poldi not playing we're stuck with Giroud up front. If AW had any balls he'd play something like:
Chezza
Debuchy Merts Kos Monreal
Chambers
Ramsey Ox
Ozil
Alexis Giroud
Don't think he will and I suspect Wheelchair will start with Ramsey pushed further forward and Chambers or Ozil benched.
We aren't playing at home :doh:Quote:

Rosicky should play deeper rather than Flamini. He can run around as well as being a footballer. He's our most aggressive tackler too.
I just can't see Flamini in the centre, Cazorla on the left and Giroud up front working effectively at the moment. Too many flaws on the pitch at the same time. WUMger loves the self-harming though.
Podolski has apparently been left out of the match day squad.
The Mail is already running a piece linking him to Colonge on the basis of that alone.
Anyway, we'll win and we'll win well today. Normally we alternate performances at Goodison park and after the horror show last year we're due a good one today.
Szczesny, Debuchy, Mertesacker, Chambers, Monreal, Flamini, Ox, Wilshere, Ramsey, Ozil, Alexis
