Arsenal (A) - QF | Pre-Match Thread | Team on Pg 31

[Mr Blue Moon]

Makes ot more exciting if you expect nothing.

Walking a title is boring that is why the treble season and it going to the last day trumps the cemturians just, though it going to the wire for the 100 points was midly exciting.


Expect nothing and you get more rewarding results

There’s a huge difference between not expecting silverware and you saying that the league is done, when it clearly isn’t.
This season has already shown that teams are capable of taking points of each other. We have a fantastic manager and squad, who will be there or there abouts come the business end of the season.
There are going to be lots of twists and turns, so let’s buckle up and enjoy the ride

Seems like a million years ago since we lost a League Cup game. Beginning of 2017 vs Rags if I remember correctly.
I would love to win the League Cup 4 years on the bounce!!!!

Indeed.

8 pts off the top with a game in hand, and 25 left to play.

I vaguely remember a team that won three titles in the last ten years from worse positions.

If Pep backs off and gives Arteta an easy ride in this, we will know why.
They are in dire form(worse than us) and it’s time to turn the screw on them and get our timing and goal scoring back to normal.
If we are complacent, we will get embarrassed and beaten by them.
Be ruthless and direct, it’s about time we showed zero mercy.
Arteta made his bed by walking away from City, thinking he was at the standard needed to manage a club, let’s show him what he left behind.
No excuse for not winning this.
Sterling should only play half, if absolutely necessary. He’s been shocking.

Apologies if already covered, but did we get a reason why Steffen wasn't on the bench yesterday? Presume he must be a doubt for Tuesday?

 

[Bluemoonadam]

I think we will win 2-1

 

[Fordyboy46]

Surely to God we can beat Arsenal.

Pep will mix ut up a bit and give other players a game. We've got a big enough squad.

Arteta will gave to either play the 1st team gain or throw some kids in. His 1st team look knackered and down beat.

Don't underestimate the Pep and Arteta factor in this game, great mates and Arteta absolutely desperate for any kind of victory. Pep could well help him stay for a bit longer in this game, just a feeling.

Don't be ridiculous.

 

[Fordyboy46]

Don't be ridiculous.

We've already seen some strange games though already mate, I'm still convinced the derby game was settled on a draw before a ball was kicked, Solksjaer saying he'd take a 1-1 draw before the game. Then the Liverpool home game where it seemed the players settled for a draw after half time. Do you think Pep will be that disappointed if we lost on Tuesday night?

Excluding last season, Rags again!
