Completely correct, however i think the difference is you have better cover for K compared to what we have for sanchez.

Ha ha really?? Have you seen us defend lately?? A Sunday league pub team's attack after a night on the piss could cause havoc in our defence!
 
we will have to score at least 3 goals to get anything from this game , we obviously have the players to do that , but so do the gooners , our defence is shambolic at the moment , but ask most gooners and they will say the same about their defensive qualities . It is not just the back 4 , i think both teams are crap defending as a team , the wingers and midfielders of both teams just do not defend or track back , expect a high scoring game , and the rest of europe laughing at the best two squads in the premiership defending like Charlie Cairoli , and looking forward to drawing either in the chumps league.
 
I think we'll go without a striker. Essential to try to hold of Arsenal during their opening burst. Kun on for 20 or so in the second half if needed.

Wouldn't count on it mate, unless you think Arsenal are going ro score a hat full against us. We've not scored a single goal away from home since the start of November against Sevilla and you have to go all the way back to mid September when we took the lead at Spurs to find the last time we scored a goal away in the league. Almost 3 months without an away league goal. Our diabolical defence is clouding the fact that we've been utterly awful going forward too for the past few months. there's no gameplan with or without the ball. and we can't even manage to have the majority of possession in most matches either.
 
I fucking hate playing Monday, especially such a big game. There's no decent games on this weekend either, aside from the Melbourne derby, and even that's on at 08:30 Saturday morning, which leaves the rest of the weekend spare. Fuck sake.
 
Would take a draw all day. After our showings against other "big" teams this season, and our general form of late I can't help but fear the worst.

Hopefully we just go out to make it tough for them to score & then try and nick something, as I could quite easily see another 3-4 goals shipped if we go for it.

Bloody hell, there's not many remember Charlie Carioli. That's going back to Albert and the lion.

Stating facts about our awful away form will make some here call you a rag

Makes you wonder how a team with silva,KDB,yaya,aguero,sterling struggle to score ? Pretty sure if Pep had these 5 available we wouldnt be struggling to score , maybe a bit harsh on MP but if any other club had spent £200m on an attacking 5 they would expect a few goals knocked in on their travels
