    So Mesut is out for 12 weeks a key player for us and its a shame as i felt he was due some good form. i am hoping in his abscence that we play Cazorla through the middle with Ox and Sanchez on either wing and perhaps we might even see Joel Campbell play abit more

    Theo and Özil will never play together. On the bright side Cazorla is in good form and will arguably do a better job if put on the wings than Özil

    Good thing that we have depth in our central midfield positions, but we really are losing a lot of players due to injury again. We can play Cazorla, Wilshere and Sanchez in Ozil's advanced attacking mid spot. Not the end of the world but 12 weeks is a very long time to lose a player of his quality.

    I was so looking forward to Walcott + Özil pace hax. Watch by the time Özil is for Theo gets injured

    Actually we can go with a front three of OXO, Welbeck and Walcott and have Sanchez as an SS/playmaker, or Cazorla/Wilshere. Wow, we've gone completely English in our front line, funny how times have changed.

    The first 4 names are all very quick and can break at pace. I hope I see the time when we counter with all these players playing.....

    Knew as soon as I saw he was going for a scan it would be something like this. We're never going to see the best of Ozil in an Arsenal shirt

    This is absolutely ridiculous. There's no way that this is sheer unluckiness.

    "This is what happens when you overplay players. He NEVER rests Ozil infact keeps him on for the full 90min when its proven that he tires out after 70 mins.

    Wenger the faking clown strikes again.

    Kept playing Ramsey for ages last season
    Kept Playing Walcott when he had a few knocks.
    Kept playing Jack (whos sh ite anyway)

    This season Ramsey was injured for wales but Wenger kept playing him and boom hammy gone.
    Same with Ozil.

    This clown will never lean.

    Just Fak off Wenger - This muppet need to be sacked."

    Not the best in terms of defending. We could quite easily go with the following:

    OXO-----WELBECK-----WALCOTT
    ------------SANCHEZ/Cazorla/Wilshere---------
    --------Flamini--------Rosicky/Wilshere----

    I like having Flamini and Rosicky as our deep lying midfielders and we have enough attack with the 4 mentioned. This would give us a plan B of fast counter-attack.

    I agree, there is something wrong with our fitness/training/resting regime. This needs to be looked into seriously.

    I'd play
    Sanchez Welbeck Theo
    Santi
    Wilshere Flamini

    Still plenty of combinations that could work

    That's exactly what I'd do Ox. Good choice.

    Six of our first eleven out injured. It's just ridiculous.

    Time for Cazorla to shine. In the last few weeks, he has been showing signs of getting back into form and now he has the chance to play in his best position.

    Diaby injured already doh!

    Ozil is so unlucky. Never getting proper position and chance. Also if goons doctors say 12 weeks it would at least be 20 weeks.
