Walcott was starting to show some very good and consistent form until he picked up that cruciate injury against spuds last year.

Hopefully he can regain that. he needs a run in the team though. The trouble is, who do you leave out? Is he a central striker? I'm not sure. I think he's better coming in from wider positions. I think we need a big man in the centre. Without that option we are much more limited going forward.

The trouble is, who do you leave out? Cocquelin has to keep his defensive role, and Cazorla has been playng very well more centrally. The three in front of them has to include Sanchez and Ozil IMO. So it's a straight choice between Ramsey and Walcott for the third birth. I'd also suggest that Oxlade Chamberlain should be in with a shout for that right sided place in that three.

And what happens then when Wilshere gets fit?

By the time Wilshere's fit a couple of others will be injured again.

Given his lack of time off Sanchez is likely to break down.

Time to bring back Sonogo? Has it come to that?

Blimey!

Well, a test for our reserve centre halves. They have to play at some time I suppose.

I don't have a good feeling at all. Especially with loose-cannon Coquelin.

Arsenal usually play the opposite of what people are predicting, so if everything looks gloomy they may just surprise us with an FA Cup final-like display

Both injured apparently. Bets on Chambers or Coq for the red card?

Per is ill, Kos has a mild back injury.

I'd say he's more likely to be two weeks from returning for the next year and a half.

Think a lot of goals on cards tonight, think this would be a good game for Walcott through the middle.

Cech didn't look too calm with Per and Koscielny in front of him - a bit less solid than the CBs he's used to. Might be a nervous wreck tonight!

that was a goal by Ramsey. Looks like we'll be needing it too. Far too open.

Another decision goes for Liverpool. They need to even it out sooner or later.

Heart sunk as soon as I saw Chambers on the teamsheet and he's not done anything to reassure me yet. I'd honestly rather see Debuchy on at CB after half-time.

Our possession is erratic in midfield. Unlike us.
