Great news! Our injury total stays at 10! How can you win a league title with 10 first team players injured at once? It's gone way past the bounds of just unfortunate. We've lost our first choice central midfield pairing because they both happened to get ligament damage within a game of each other.
Injury list:
Gibbs
Koscielny
Cazorla
Coquelin
Wilshere
Rosicky
Arteta
Walcott
Alexis
Welbeck
Not the best performance, but important result especially with the way other teams played.
Hopefully it can be an excellent week for us come Wednesday...Make that an excellent result for Arsenal over this bizarre weekend.

Win by 2 in the hotbed of Piraeus and you'll of earned that and more.
Can't see it but it should be a night.
So what's the situation tomorrow. Do you just have to win Olympiakos tomorrow or has it got to be a certain scoreline?
They need to win by 2, or at the least score 3 in a 1 goal victory. (3-2 it then goes right down the criteria. 4-3/ 5-4 would do them.).
That horrific 3-2 defeat at home is really biting.
Onto it. Had to read it a second time like haha. Should be interesting. England as a whole need Arsenal to go through. Having two English teams out before the knock out stages.... disastrous.
Worst case scenario Chelsea don't get through either. **** me. Imagine City being the only team left in it?
Conversely, if those clubs do well the Europa League (3 in there now that could end up 5), then it's pretty much like for like in case of coefficient points with the Champions League in the knockouts. Doesn't really matter if clubs drop down so long as they go as far or better than they would of in the Champions League.
For all the OTT scaremongering over losing that 4th spot from 2017, the Italians still have a lot of catching up to do and we're matching them and more again this year.
Disregarding coefficients, still looks bad on English teams and all. Would like to show at least some authority even though there is next to no chance an English team will win the competition at all.Conversely, if those clubs do well the Europa League (3 in there now that could end up 5), then it's pretty much like for like in case of coefficient points with the Champions League in the knockouts.
