-LizardLick wrote Arsenal Vs Chelsea should be a good game

Both have relatively strong line ups out, Chelsea making 10 changes to their team who played on Sunday.

Glad De Bruyne has started, he could have so much to offer. The sort of player we need IMO.

With the line-up you're putting out I'd expect you to win. Plus, we have Nicky B up top and he's as bad as Eto'o.

Although we have a stronger line up out haha, we have virtually our reserves out(apart from Mata)

Whereas you've got your pretty much starting team minus about 3/4 players.

Either teams are capable of winning it. Personally think we're playing more of a 4-3-3 then 4-2-3-1

Fabianski, Vermaelan, Jenkinson, Monreal, Ryo, Bendtner and Rosicky aren't really our first team to be honest.
But yeah, your second team is as good as most first teams.

There's not actually much difference....

The best Arsenal XI is better than the one your fielding today.

Giroud > Eto'o
Walcott > De Bruyne
Ozil > Mata
Cazorla > Willian
Ramsey > Mikel
Wilshere > Essien (Essien is better defensively)
Gibbs > Bertrand
Mertesacker - Cahill
Koscielny > Luiz (Luiz is poor in defence, makes too many bad decisions. Much better player in MF)
Sagna > Dave
Szczesny > Schwarzer.

Yeh it's better, but like I said there isn't much difference, and let's be honest David Luiz is better then all your defenders. When he grows under Mourinho he will be up there with best in the world.

No he isn't. David Luiz is the biggest defensive liability I've ever seen. Mertesacker and Koscielny are very underrated and solid defenders. Much better at defending than Luiz. As I said, Luiz is a brilliant player in MF where he can venture forward a bit more without as much risk.

He makes a few mistake here and there, when he's focused in big games he's solid, look at the confederations cup as an example. He was fantastic last season, rarely made a mistake an IMO was our best player alongside Mata.

Same could be said about the Mertesacker - Koscielny partnership last season. You just have to look at some key stats (I know stats don't mean everything, but they certainly mean something).
