Ramsey is coming back next weekend (I believe). What is concerning to me however is that Santi is still out. I seriously hope that it is nothing serious! Been our best player this season.

I'm filled with hope and dread. His return could help or hinder us.

I don't see where he fits in right now, think he's a good player but we're unlikely to see him excel for us.

We need Santi back immediately, our season will tank without him. He's our best Midfielder by quite some distance and the level of creativity drops alarmingly when he's out. It's a worry...we need him back for PSG, Spuds and Man Utd.

We really should be able to cope without Santi. It's definitely alarming. We all know Ramsey and Coquelin won't work but Ramsey and Xhaka or Elneny is an option and if distribution is a problem, I'd be tempted to say we drop Ozil back to Santa's role because he's the only that comes close to be able to do what Santi does with the ball.

I can't believe how short Santi is. Compact but short.

Yep, I do think that Xhaka will go someway to solving the problem if Santi is out for a while. Ramsey to a lesser extent...though I still have major reservations about him as a CM.

Elneny/Coq are both good players but IMO both of them lack creativity and as such don't make for a great partnership, solid yes..but not creative enough.

Good shout on moving Ozil back, I did think that before Saturday's game.

I agree, he's basically back up to Ozil IMO. He's not first choice here.

November has started early.

Perez out for 6 weeks with ankle ligament damage :rose:

Arsenal in November. :lol:

Grim.
