A win tonight is vital, by whatever means we can muster. If there's any chance of us bringing in a player or two in the last few days of the window it's likely to hinge on success in this match. So a shitty performance and a win will do. Don't want to see a shitty performance against Leicester though.

This.

We could probably go one season without it but otherwise it affects our ability to attract top players, sponsors and consequentially the ability to pay them top money.

We'd lose those players if we finish outside the top 4 this season. I doubt there would be a fall out if we go out tonight. Just means the players and coach get a shock to the system and may actually get their shit together this season.

Szczesny – Debuchy – Mertesacker – Koscielny – Monreal – Flamini – Wilshere – Ozil – Cazorla – Oxlade-Chamberlain – Alexis

Subs: Martinez, Chambers, Rosicky, Coquelin, Podolski, Sanogo, Campbell

Yes, I used to look forwards to the games after a shitty work day. Used to. If we persist with another uninspired line up and the dead paced game we've been pulling off lately, it just adds to an already shitty day.

Tonight will be worth watching. Great line up, second bite at the cherry for Alexis at CF. and this time Ozil's at no.10. We'll wreck them.

That line up has got me a little excited. Something different. It will be good to see how Wilshere plays without Ramsey. I'd prefer Rosicky but it's worth seeing what Jack can do on his own.

Let's hope Sanchez has a heck of a game. We need him badly to do well and score some goals.

I think people are making a bit too much of Ozil on the left. He naturally drifts to the flanks anyway and he's played on the flanks for Madrid and Germany.
