    You seem to feel like this before a lot of our games recently! Have some faith!

    And even if you think we will mess it up, enjoy watching and finding out!

    Though oxo starting in midfield doesn't fill me with confidence <laugh>

    Ramsey cannot abandon his responsibilities in midfield today for the sake of his own selfish gain (getting a goal). He has to play similar to how he did in the first half against Man City. If he starts bombing forward again, our midfield will get eaten alive. It is imperative that he maintains his discipline.

    Think we'll go for a more conventional 3 in midfield rather than the 4231.
    Flamini sitting deep behind Ramsey and Oxlade-Chamberlain. Maybe with both of them in there one of them will help defend when they inevitably lose the ball.

    I like both players, but they are both high-risk, high-reward styles. Not always the best policy away to Stoke...

    Hopefully Ramsey can channel the booing he'll get into a quality performance. Still don't understand why he gets booed for having the cheek to break his leg on Shawcross's foot...

    I have to say I'd feel more confident with an untested elneny in the centre and Ramsey at 10 than oxo...

    We are going to lose this game. That midfield is not disciplined enough and we saw that against Liverpool.

    Oxlade brace on the way to a 4-1 victory.

    Well at least we have gotten in to the box a few times in the 1st few minutes and Theo's pace is causing problems - just hope he stops giving the ball away

    So much for Stoke changing their tactics - very physical so far

    I really hope he scores today and gives it the 'I can't hear you' ear.

    It's pretty impressive how much Campbell has developed in such a short space of time. Cracking through ball to Giroud.

    for a team that heavily practices and trains for a very good passing game, we sure do give the ball away so many damn times with really **** passes, ****ing hell.
