    Some B players stepped up today, Gibbs, Ospina, Flamini-attacking wise, Campbell was good for the most part until our game fell apart.

    I'd say now is perfect to get Walcott on for giroud

    I dunno, we don't need to score now, and Giroud could hold the ball up for us more, and is handy if they have a set piece.

    I would gather the same odds for Giroud scoring once.

    I'd actually keep Giroud on with Ox and Sanchez on the wings now. We need Giroud to keep the ball when it goes up top.

    I'd still bring Bellerin on, and hold the last sub just in case.

    What Flamini has done, is what we used to do a lot in 2002-2005, when our midfielders used to actually run into spots rather than just ball watching. Ozil-Cazorla need to do the same, always run into positions, because the ball can very well fall to you.

    True but giroud has been so isolated he's been easy to handle but Spurs will have to push up, leaving gaps for theo or they'll be wary of his pace and have to leave men back to defend against him. His pace also gives us aN outlet by knocking it long

    Definitely. Debuchy has done better in the last 30 mins, but I'd rather we had the pace of Bellerin there.

    Agreed. Chambers too, despite the OG. Had to cover debuchy as well.

    Save it if we go extra time, think we will have more energy if this goes to ET, then Walcott can rip them apart, if worst comes to worst.

    Debuchy thinks he is flamini!

    So it's Walcott for the OX.

    Any point in bringing on Walcott now? Makes no sense.

    Debuchy got done for again, but thankfully the Spurs player gave a **** cross.

    Certainly makes no sense to sub him for oxo - replacing pace for pace, and oxo has played pretty well and is more defensive than theo

    What Waclott will do well is get back and defend when we don't have the ball. Ox is pretty poor defensively and with Debuchy getting isolated up front we've been badly exposed down our right.
