No Lamela at all? Really? Or is that just a mistake?
I'd start him personally.

Petr Cech (hamstring) and Laurent Koscielny (calf) are both expected to miss Saturdays' north London derby
He does, but quite subtly, if you watch closer.
What's a layer in this context?
He needs another out and out striker that's certain, either a target man or fox in the box. And apparently he didn't really want one last window, although he might have wanted a young one, according to levy at the last trust meet. Surely the trust should have pressed him after giving such an unclear response?
Poch has learnt every step of the way so far, no reason to think he can't actually see what the rest of us can see and properly address I it in the summer.
As to whether real competition for, as well as a complementary player alongside Harry have meant the difference in this years surprise title tilt? Well, it's too soon for that, and we will never find out anyway...
Same team for me on sat as mr pink btw, hope our beast is close enough to 100 per cent to do his usual job for 70 mins.
We played with 3 at the back tonight.
It never worked.
Worked perfectly or Wham tonight. Pulled the wool over Poch's eyes.
To a certain degree I agree.
But I don't think their formation won them the game.
They clearly wanted it more than us and along with giving the ball away on so many occasions and a number of players off form, West Ham deserved it imo.
I'll go with the OP line up.
Right, swiftly on to the next one:

Walker

Wimmer

Petr Cech (hamstring) and Laurent Koscielny (calf) are both expected to miss Saturdays' north London derby
I didn't see it but apparently Cech went up for a corner at the end and pulled his hamstring as he was running back
That said, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if he starts such are Wengers attempts at these sort of shenanigans in the past.
This worries me. I can understand his caution playing with a broken nose, but at the moment he's a shadow of the player he was earlier in the season. Avoiding headers, and almost avoiding physical contact with other players makes him half a player. But what can we do? Drop him? Though maybe that's not a bad idea as we won pretty well without him.Moussa please and Kane to show up, we need him
That means hes not readyPochettino said he was close, and could be ready for Saturday's game.
