Oh dear - just about as negative a team selection as possible. Whilshere and Flamini Fucking irritating considering we are at home and we beat them in the last meeting. Really surprised Arteta isn't playing because our ball retention will drop off a cliff with Flamini in there. Doubly surprised he's gone with Monreal if Gibbs is fit. Can only see Ozil playing on the left again given that line up. Total waste. What he's basically done is slotted Welbeck into the same shit formation and then added a sprinkle of negativity. Alexis will have to do it all on his own today if we are to get a result.

Ozil wide again

Ridiculous isn't it, i also don't think Wilshere and Ramsey play well together and one of them should be dropped (for me it should be Ramsey a) as he picked up a knock midweek and has had less rest time and b) didn't exactly play well for us in August well as Wilshere played out of his skin against Besiktas). Should be rotating more, Wilshere starts today and Ramsey starts in Dortmund.

Seems that City have abandoned 4-4-2....still fancy our midfield against theirs....Lampard??...seriously

Lampard!!! I didn't see that - WTF?

Arteta is so slow at distributing the ball once we win possession back in our own half, it breaks down any possibility of a counter attack. But so does having Ramsey and Wilshere in midfield...Ramsey can't play behind the striker neither can Wilshere, so MC Hammer will be feeding on scraps.

Me neither, didn't even look at their team tbh, no Yaya !
