Even with all our injuries, we should have beaten Norwich and WBA. Given that now Koscielny, Sanchez and Cazorla look to be out for lengthy periods of time, and we couldn't even beat those sides with the aforementioned players, I don't expect us to win the game. Confidence is low, we've lost our best players and we don't score enough goals. But it was clearly great management of AW to not bring in any outfield players this Summer. Even when most of our squad are so susceptible to injuries & we didn't have appropriate back-up options for certain positions. It's quite amazing that fans are so willing to let him off the hook for decisions that at any other club he would have been sacked for instantaneously.
Giroud will get injured against Sunderland. Walcott will be rushed back and pick up another 3 month injury. That's my prediction
