I am translating this from the manga Attack on Titan:

> そんなんでイザッて時に戦えんの

The show translates this text to:

> Can you fight like that if you have to?  
>  (the main character is asking a guy if he is able to fight drunk if they
> are suddenly attacked)

I am familiar with 「そんな」. The next part 「んで」I don't get. Then we flip to an
unfamiliar combo of kana 「イザッて」. I get the time part. The last part is about
war so that makes sense....except that 「ん」 slid his way in again.

question
grammar meaning parsing
ん in strange places: そんなんで
> そんなんでイザッて時に戦えんの

would be a colloquial way of saying

> そんなので(≒そんな[風]{ふう}で/そんな状態で/そんな調子で)、いざという時に戦えるの？

Breakdown:

そんなの -- like that; something like that (そんな + particle の as a nominalizer)  
[で](http://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/jn/148951/meaning/m0u/%E3%81%A7/) -- a case
particle/格助詞 (そんなので here would be like "If you're (drunk) like that")
