So Peejay, what are you basing this prediction on? Give me a reason to believe you just not blowing flatulence our way. Lawd know we have enough ah dat pon the board a'ready.

I cannot argue with your astute assessment However our

main concerns are defensive mid and defensive organisation.

If Alexis plays as he usually does...we lose!
Lest you forget, Barcelona is battling for title of the 'Best TEAM in the world'. An Alexis...Ramsey, Walcott and The Ox frequent handing of the ball to the opposition ensures a bad ending for our GUNNERS! They would all have to play good or excellent TEAM = among other things giving away the ball with less than 50% of their usual game-play. These guys are tremendous liabilities when playing against the 5 or so TEAMs in Europe that are top quality. Against lessor quality TEAMs the uninformed laud them to the heavens.

Those frequent give-aways over exposes our slower players such as Flamini and the big German. Gives them too much defending to do and makes for a less effective Ozil - who thrives on support movement, passing and possession - and indeed, gives the entire TEAM too much defending to do.
