He can't score anymore unless he is on International break. Where he was great was getting the ball out of the shit. Our entire 4th place finish relies on Ramsey in the pivot and Ozil tracking back to get the ball up the field. :aero:
Wenger will go out and strengthen the central midfield in January, it isn't like him to leave any position on the squad glaringly thin. Maybe Santi was already injured during the NLD but he looked like way more of a detriment to your play than a creative force. That missed penalty of his against WBA was also atrocious. When on form he can be amazing, he just hasn't had a standout performance in any of the matches I've been able to watch so far this season.
He was sick during the NLD. He's had a pretty good year, not his best but our best option at that position unless Ramsey somehow reverts back to 2013 form. This shit is ridiculous. ----Theo/Welbeck-- -Alexis-Rosicky-Wilshere ---Santi---Coquelin- -Gibbs-Koscielny--random youths at CB and RB -----Ospina--- vs -----Giroud-- -Ox---Ozil--Joel-- -Ramsey--Flamini-- -Nacho-Gabriel-Per-Hector- -----Cech--- Think the top team would win and sure it will be strengthened again soon with more injuries
Over a fuckin month on Theo's little calf "cramp" up too. Heard he might possibly be back for the Greeks, which means we won't see him until the following week at Villa. Giroud is already ineffective and will have played his 7th and 8th game in a row. We will still wish death upon him, but he needs a break. I just want to see Nigerian Reus and the Jeff.
All summer long begged to sell Walcott and Wilshere for the Ol premium. No they said. They've spent more time in the trainers room than the pitch. Why would this year be different? If they fail to win the league this year with Chelsea in shambles and both mancs clubs fucking around...
Deciding on him and Kos tomorrow. Doubt either of them will play, just sounds good with all the bad news recently. I mean really how can you analyze it tomorrow? It's not like they have Chicken Pox. One fucked up his calf and Kos could barely walk last week and I don't even think they ever announced what his issue was.
Think it was lower back/hip with Kos. I've had it a couple times and can barely move but it goes away. Since my body is of course very comparable to a professional athlete. Probably will be Giroud-Joel-Ox-Ozil-Ramsey-Flamini tomorrow then hopefully Theo for Olympiakos.
I've already got some cortizone shots lined up for the X-mas gathering just in case. Can't have your hips in less than top shape.
Clemson soccer beat Maryland tonight to make the Collegiate Cup (Final 4). Suck it Terps. And now, back to your regularly scheduled injury reports. I like to daydream about players that we could buy but won't during the transfer window(s).

Jeorge Bird @jeorgebird 1m1 minute ago Cech, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Flamini, Ramsey, Walcott, Ozil, Campbell, Giroud.
wish there was better attacking options on the bench, but I think the lineup is the right choice. just gotta hope the first hour goes well.
Well I was pretty fired up for this but had slim hopes. I don't even think I got to flex my ass muscles other than involuntary reaction that the sight of Giroud invokes.
Fuck yeah! On to the knockout stages again. Well done, Arsene. No doubt we will draw Barca or Real because that's just what we do.
Wenger can't complain about not having money to spend in January. They picked up what, like £30M tonight by getting into the round of 16, right?
