Push Sanchez out wide, with Ozil on the other side, Giroud through the middle. We'll have some instant threat in the box then.
Monreal had a great game. That left wing back position suits him really well. Thought Xhaka had a decent game, especially in the first half, but he faded a bit in the second half. I like the 3-4-3 formation, but it needs Giroud in the middle, so that we've got a target man. We were all over Leicester in that first half, but we just didn't have anybody in the box to aim for. Sanchez and Waclott kept coming deep to collect the ball which allowed Leicester to defend in a line across their box. Would like to see us start with 3-4-3 against Spurs with the same line up apart from Walcott. I'd put Giroud through the middle, Sanchez on the left and Ozil on the right
3 point lane is seriously the most bizarre name you lot have for us. It's also the worst Wum ever. Since 2006 Chelsea have won 1 match at white hart lane. That's 1 win, 5 draws and 5 loses in 11 matches. That's 8 points in 11 matches...that makes it 0.7272727273 point lane...not quite as catchy but a lot more accurate
Sounds like it was a battling win...your third on the trot after the Palace humiliation. Any chance of one of those on Sunday please?
Have never been a keyboard warrior or wum and never expected anything from this game due to our exceedingly poor record against Arsenal but what was that from Sanchez at the end? Pick any two from three 1. He is an excellent player with great talent 2. He is the softest baby in the Premier League 3. He is a disgrace as a professional player after trying to fake injury to cover his own stupidity. Poor end to quite a good game.
He's not the first player to try this sort of thing but it should be stamped out. Three game ban and it stops. Embarrassing.
I agree, disgraceful behavior. Just like this: http://arsenalist.com/f/2015-16/arsenal-vs-leicester/mahrez-dives-in-box.html And this:
It was twatish from Sanchez at the end, the South Amercican players seem to have that in them with the play acting. He was rightly booked, but Fuchs should also have been booked for unsporting behaviour for deliberately throwing the ball at Sanchez, which would have seen him sent off as he'd already been booked. Benalouane should have seen red too for the studs up stamp on Giroud's back
