Arsenal (A) - Wed 15th Feb, 19:30 | Pre-Match Thread

[M Gaudino]

if we get on the back foot it could be very difficult.

i guess the plan is to dominate for 90mins

 

[oldius]

Come on Blues.

 

[Centurions]

Can we open the match thread early so all the mard arses can fuck off there?

We could open up a fake one and then lock the thread behind them. They can come out tomorrow.

Without a doubt. I was more referring to even more so now with two of their best players missing.

I'm fully confident we'll win tonight. I said before the Villa game with all the charges ect we'll go on to win the league now it's galvanised all of us!

COME ON CITY!!!!

More like it.

Would have preferred a back 4 but becoming clear we aren't going to see one regardless of the opposition so may as well get used to it. We looked much better against Villa but Arsenal are a much better team than Villa though so could be a very tough game.

Hopefully we'll have the edge though and get the win.

Very happy that Akanji isn’t playing.

Bold going with that setup again. But I like it - demands that we look to get on the front foot and dominate.

 

[DWIFF]

credibility check.

Would have gone with a flat back four.
More unnecessary tinkering from Pep.
Fearing the worst.
Hope I’m wrong.
