Not confident at all . I'm expecting the usual from the Emirates. Fuck all. Sorry folks. Hope I'm wrong.

Don't apologise. I'm hoping you're wrong, too.

It`s Arsenal v City....and this useless twat is rambling on about how Henry would play for the Rags, and his best performances for Barca ????

 

[Steve68]

Dafuq is this **** rambling on about?

He's explaining the difference between Pep and LVG when it comes to planning. Makes sense and informative.

Here on NBC Robbie Earl has previewed how every Arsenal player can undo us not mentioned us hardly at all.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Shut the fuck up you nauseating, boring ****.

Who gives a fuck!!

 

[super_city_si]

Jesus, just saw our upcoming fixtures, we have 9 games In a month!!

Biggest game of the season so far without a shadow of doubt. Players need to be up for it.

The key in this game is the performance of the defense and thus there is little reason to be optimistic based on what has happened this season and the injury issues. But this will be a fitting occasion for the defensive players to finally put in an assured and solid performance. It will be very impressive if we get the three points from this game.

Glad Aguero is back. We have gone for the theoretically safe and conservative approach of three in the midfield but the key is that we remain solid at the back and as long as that is the case, that is the hope, there is more than enough quality out there to win the game.

Defending is a team effort. It is time everyone puts in a shift defensively

Stats and opinions mean fuck all.. Best team wins it.. My money is on KDB

2 draws and a win from the last 3 visits...lets be positive we can win this

I'll be worried to death for Serg, i always am when he comes back from an injury,i keep expecting him to go off with a reoccurrence of his injury.

 

[Phil1]

Nerves have kicked in now. Belly doing cartwheels. Can't beat it, never fails regardless of who we're playing.

 

[Decepticon]

I'm so nervous, the good thing is I'm at work but the match thread will properly stress the fuck out me.

COME ON BLUEBOYS

 

[Dax777]

Did Pellegrini say that? I must have missed it. Hopefully he meant the left side of a midfield 3. He played on the left after coming on last week and look a bit lost there.

Yup, he did when he was asked about Sterling. In fairness it seemed the question was worded in a way to suggest Delph was benching Sterling. Pele however went with it and stated Delph had different qualities playing on the left. I'm just hoping he meant left of a midfield triangle

Of course that is always a requirement but the players at the back also have to do their jobs and play well.

I'm hoping so too.

Terry Henry is the kind of bloke who gets a hard on when he sees himself in the mirror.

 

[Pezzer2]

Happy with the line up. I'm happy with the energy of Delph and Fernandinho to fill in that midfield. I still feel we will need to score at least 2 to get anything out of the game. I'm positive though, time for the big guns to step up to the mark.

Just seen Carragher saying Delph has been placed on the left. I assumed (like he said), he and Fernandinho would protect the back 4 and Silva to float around on the left. I'm sure they will interchange and Delph sitting deep with Toure pushing.

 

[middleton___blue]

Wouldnt have started delph on the left, maybe in a 3 man midfield but apart from that and what kompany bring out its not all that bad a lineup. Though it will be tough regardless tonight.
