So is going to another club, sitting on the bench for most of the season and winning a trophy better than sticking with a club where you play most games/improve as a player/become ingrained in the club as a legend?
Don't think that was the case with the four that went to Manchester.
However, I would not do what you suggested but plenty would..
If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid
So, first Europa league game in a long long time for us tomorrow. I expect a mostly second string lineup.
Perhaps something like;
Ospina
Holding Mertesacker Monreal
Maitland-Niles Wilshere Elneny Nelson
Iwobi Walcott
Giroud
Ospina Holding Jack Iwobi Giroud all need to start. Maybe Sanchez as well

Could there be a Debuchy sighting even? Expect he will be getting some games now there is no alternative cover for the RWB position. In a similar position on the left too. At first glance it looks like we have 2 solid left backs but when you realise one of them is a starting CB there is actually no cover.
Totally agree, gotta get the guy up and running if he's still at the club. Or release him from his contract.
I think Monreal, Maitland-Niles, Debuchy and Reiss Nelson will probably be our fullback cover for the season.
If we stick to 3 at the back I'm ok with young guys filling in. However if we went to a back 4 then no way, need specialists...
Am I reading Bein right that they're showing a tonne of Europa league games but not ours?
Live on Sky Sport 4. There are games on the Sky channels as well as Bein.
So they're mixing it up this year, some games live on sky only some games live on Bein only?
F*ck me Sky have rights to ECL and Europa and get a couple of games each. C*nts, once again back to illegal streaming - this is super frustrating.
Sounds like 20,000 fans traveled with only 3000 away tickets. Loads of then in the home sections now.
Home end packed with Koln fans.
Bloody good win in the end. Sanchez looks like he's coming back into form now. Kolasinac, what a player he looks. Cannot believe we got him free, madness.
That was a fudgeing good goal. Not your usual long range chip, had to hit it properly .

it was an awesome strike. 1 touch to control and 2nd to put it more or less in the top corner!
Looks like a switch to a back 4 could be on the cards soon if that game was anything to go by.
Having said that, matching up like for like against Chelsea has been the most successful way teams have dealt with them under Conte.

yea and we have beaten them at their own system in the last two outings against them.
What worries me atm is our terrible record against "top 6" teams. I think think we've won away in a long time.
For us to get anything out of the game we will need more of this mornings 2nd half performance and less of the first.

*Unless you're Ronald Koeman.
Just had a look at Chelsea's line up for midweek. Likely of those who lined up the following should start against us:
Courtouis, Alonso, Kante, Zappacosta, Willian, Cahill, Azpilicueta.
Out of our line up today I'd expect:
Bellerin, Monreal, Kolasnic, Sanchez to start. I think we'll have fresher legs going into it. Would like to see us play it safe and start Coquelin ahead of Ramsey, Sanchez in for Welbeck but otherwise unchanged from last weekend.
Wilshere getting some props for his cameo this morn.
Must admit I was distracted at work and was only keeping an eye on things, wasn't able to watch players etc, so am only going on social media comments.
Kolasinac is brilliant. Made an immediate impact. Great hit for the goal, absolutely coded it in. Amazing strike from Sanchez too.
As long as he isn't hamstrung with Le Coq!

4-2-3-1
Kola at 3 Ozil at 10 Santi at 6 Sanchez at 11 Lacazette at 9 surely this can happen

I would say Azpiluceuta goes in the back 3 and Konsielny in for Cahill. Then put in Belerin at right wing back

It was just nice having an actual midfielder in midfield.

Anyone else?
Be happy with a draw

was going to watch on demand but just woke up - convenient. COYG. Interesting Iwobi & Welbeck gets the nod ahead of Alexis, Giroud, & Jack.
