Deserved win for Chelsea

PPLF, we have full backs. We've got Zabba and Kolarov. They were deemed good enough to play in the CL, so they should be good enough to play against Arsenal.

As long as we keep Van Persil under control, we'll be fine

Kolorov is out so Zabaleta will probably have to play left back with either Savic or Kolo at right back
Zabaleta played well last night against Mata but the sheer pace of walnut will leave him for dead so it's a big problem.Only other possibilities are playing nedum at right back or Bridge at left back which certainly isn't ideal
Maybe we will have to try that other tactic and not let them have the ball,it's not cheating

Ah... I'd forgotten Kolarov was injured.

I'd go with Zabs at LB and Savic at RB. He's quicker than Zab and will give waldo some work to do. But as long as we keep someone sat on van plank we'll be okay, he's the danger man.

Ned may be an option, but I don't want Bridge within 500 yards of the pitch.

When will Richards be fit?

not soon enough

"We have no fullbacks either so no excuses"

You are a one-man team, or so i hear.

Richards will be back for the Arsenal match

You are a one-man team, or so i hear

Could be a problem when he's househunting in Cheshire in January then?

Can see RVP getting injured courtesy of Kompany or toure

RVP should be fine unlike previous seasons hes been rested alot and hasnt been injured from International duty!

City need to be more weary of Walcott/Gervinho away from home they have caused teams all sort of problems.

Its just a matter of time before both of them start scoring
