As it is, Ozil will probably be on the bench and will we see, for no credible reason whatsoever, Ospina in goal instead of Cech?
We don't have a back up striker and we also need to start preparing for that Barca game. I think we'll get a firm beating like we did against Bayern if we set ourselves up to play like that again. The best Theo has been for us this season has been up front. Playing on the wide left hasn't been good especially when he's only focused on making runs and passes in the final third. He doesn't carry the ball so his days as a winger should be over. The left experiment hasn't worked.

Ramsey wide? I wouldn't. What's that going to achieve? Play Campbell and Sanchez wide. Bring back that counter attacking pace we were playing with at the start of the season. Ramsey has to get used to playing in the middle so if Coquelin is fit, play him alongside him to see if he fairs better. Rosicky should be on the bench to take over that CM role if he's not up to task. Pushing Ramsey wide would be favoritism. We need to get certain up to speed for the fourth coming games. I'd rather rest Bif for this one. Let him come off the bench.
