Ramsey was instrumental in the game at home against Chelsea. He pressed high up and caused a lot of disruption in Chelsea back line.
Will ozil now guaranteed to start, I am concerned that we will allow Chelsea plenty of time on the ball as it's hardly a part of Ozil game that he excells in.
We need to press Chelsea because we know exactly how they will play under Sari but without Mkhi and Ramsey, would have played both over Ozil in tomorrows game, I think we will play into Chelsea game plan which is to pass out from the back and then through Hazard.
I know its just one player but the press has to start from the front 3. I think Auba and Laca will hopefully do a lot of the donkey work but we will need Ozil to also play a massive part in the press and I just feel he isn't the type of player that can press due to his physical limitations which is a major concern.
Hopefully he has a blinder tomorrow as for me his role will be crucial if we are to win tomorrow
It's good to have Welbeck hopefully in the squad as he is someone that we can throw in if behind (fitness permitting)
Fans are underestimating Ramsey loss tomorrow. A big game player and pivotal in playing the pressing game and someone who always plays well against Chelsea.

Ozil hasn't exactly covered himself in glory in the big games for about a couple of seasons now.
Having said that, I'd still hand him a nailed-on starting position tomorrow on the strength of his deliveries into the box. We're next to useless at corners and long-range setpieces without him.
Let Torreira and the rest of the gang figure out how to press Chelsea.

Got to stop Hazard tomorrow. Probably his last game for Chelsea so he will most likely be at his top level

Fully expecting a dour 0-0 draw, and goalless after extra time. This game has got all the makings of being an embarrassment to EUFA.

Personally I really don't care. We want to win the cup and we dont get anything for playing nice football.

Can’t see us having a chance tbh. Rlc, Kante, rudiger, Cho all out. No striker who can find the net and our full backs been torrid all year. A final is a final. If we get a result it’s a bonus.

0-0? If we keep a clean sheet I would be shocked.

A Chelsea fan that hasnt noticed that Giroud is the top scorer in the tournament so far. Jog on mate. Hed loe to net a couple against the whingers that wanted him gone, plus Giroud brings out the best n Hazard so primed for his last game for us too. but still think arsenals strikes will score against our mediocre defence so im going for 2-1 Chelsea win. Hazard and Giroud to score and Iwobi for them.

It was not the case that Arsenal wanted him gone. He wasn't guaranteed playing time ahead of what was his last WC so Wenger allowed him to leave to play more. He even showed Arsenal fans a lot of love when he played us last. There's no hate between Arsenal and Giroud.
Do your homework mate.
