Rooney, Herrera, Di Maria, Falcao, RvP, Januzaj = 6. Hey! We're better than Barcelona! Right?

:p

Having the most creativity doesn't immediately make a team better than another team. It just guarantees stylish football.
But let's filter out strikers though, and keep it to midfielders.

That's where the creativity is important, and the football played is brilliant.

Sure I'll give it to Barca for having the most potent strike force in world football; with ManU right up there.
Suarez, Messi, Neymar
RVP, Rooney, Falcao.

But creativity in midfield; Arsenal are the bananas.

I've got zero expectations for this Weekend. My best case scenario is we don't get embarressed and don't suffer anymore injuries.

That would be a win for me.

Yeah, my brother feels the same. That means you'll probably kill our unbeaten streak. Meh.

We can beat Chelsea if we are clever, and Wenger doesn't send his team out with the wrong mentality. He will tell hem to go out and attack. We do and then they score. Then we need to keep attacking to get back a goal and then they score again.

We need to just sit back and defend well and wait for our chance to counter. With Welbeck, Sanchez and Ox we have the weapons and the pace to hurt them.

You don't have a solid enough defence, or disciplined enough midfield, to sit back and absorb pressure. It's why Arsenal never play this way.

Hahaha, no player in the world can have the confidence to stop Sanchez over 90 minutes.

Why not? Dortmund did it with their second string defence two weeks ago. I think we can handle him, and if not, then fair play to him. He is an excellent player.

Surprising formation change by the boss. Don't think I've seen him do that for a while. Good omen?

No complaints about that call I'm guessing.

Nope. He left his leg in and knew exactly what he was doing going down, but the ref had no choice with the way Kos went in. Another silly penalty conceded by him - just wish he wouldn't scythe down players like that in the area. Good game otherwise. Chelsea clearly ahead, but again, everyone is making comparisons to last season's game. In that respect, we're miles better than we were last time.

Good improvement from Arsenal, when compared to last season's fixture. Positive changes from us- controlling a game against top opposition.
