with Arteta being ruled out, its going to be important that we keep the ball but also be decisive in the middle of the park.
as we saw with Barca yesterday we can have all the possession but there is no point if we cant get into the box or stretch them.
I got feeling Drogba wont start the game as his played almost 2 90min games this week.
this would be my team
Scz
Sagna Kos TV Gibbs
Rosicky Song Diaby
Walcott RVP and OX
Ramsey coming on for Diaby later in the game for his lack of fitness.
I think Walcott and Ox will provide the width and pace we need to get around the full backs. If we can keep the ball and not get caught on the break i honestly dont think Chelsea can beat us.
team vs Chelsea

I agree Lex, I dont like the negativity around Ramsey either, but his had a few chances to play him self into form and its just not working for him RIGHT now. i think he knows his not in forum and his trying even harder which is just making things worse. (maybe its his lack of experience)
i am sure next season we will see a different Ramsay,
i rated him higher then Diaby even thou they different players.
Just think for this game, with the physical nature of the Chelsea team Diaby would be better suited.

p.s Lex dont worry about the star thing, i would much rather we discussed football and players then care about stars...
Diaby is not injured people...

I guess this is Ramsey's time. He has 4 games to step up and show what he is capable of.
Because, let's face it next year it will be even harder for him to establish himself with the return of wilshere and probably another new midfield player.
We will be behind him and support him.... but just for 4 games!

gunnerthru said the rumour of an injury came from Jamie Sanderson on Twitter.
He's usually quite reliable, but let's hope it's just a rumour in this case.

If it is the case, then I guess his time as an Arsenal player has come to an end.
If he can't cope with the physical aspect of playing against Oman , then he better be sold.

A decision needs to made on Diaby this summer. Either he's sold or his wages take a huge cut! We couldnt have him on a pay as you play deal, the poor bloke would end up on the streets!

Why was he playing against Oman?
====================================
God knows but reports are suggesting that the game was quite boring despite having players such as Park, Jenkinson, Diaby and Squillaci
My biggest question is how on earth Paul Le Guen end up as Oman's manager after the success he had at Lyon
