Arsenal away pre match thread

[davymcfc]

Arsenal in better form than us, we struggle at arsenal historically so should be extremely tough for us. This league however is very unpredictable and if we have our strongest team out then you never know. Biggest game of the season so far.

if we play like we did second half against b,m, they wont get near us.

I know, but we wont will we.8

We need to play pretty much the same team we played against BMG. But with Zab in the team if he's fit. Our full backs will be our main attacking force. with Dininho & Delph as the two DMs but with YaYa slightly ahead of them in the middle. Defend quite a bit deeper too so Hart can sweep up the through balls down the channels that we have been terrible at dealing with of late. Our players need to put in a shift as well.

Hart

Zab
Otamendi
Mangala
Kolarov
----------
dininho
delph
yaya
-----
silva
sterling
kdb

That said I have absolutely ZERO confidence in Pellegrini so he will go for 2 midfielders, a high line defence and we will get mullered.

Next week I'd play with no striker and it's a toss up to play either De Bruyne or yaya we need the energy of Fernandinho and Delph just because the way we play we so open and legs to run back to defend because we all know Arsenal will have bags of space to run at our back four, also Arsenal now get all bodies behind ball when they haven't got the ball unlike us! We need to score 3 to win it next week actually it might only get us a draw, I'd settle for that..

Also Navas and sterling track back and cover the fullbacks better than anyone else in the team.

Unfortunately i cant magic Zab and kompany back,and playing at their best.

We go with the best we can,hopefully no rotstion,for once.....may help.

Just hope we flood the midfield. Last thing we need is Arsenal passing the ball around for fun.

The Monday night fixture is dissapointing from a fan perspective but got a feeling we can go to town!

We can win this game, if we do it could go a long way to deciding champions come May

Come on City!!

That's the spirit,the way results are going each week you just can't say with any conviction who's going to win games,every team is inconsistent to an extent,which gives me hope when we play next Monday ...

Under mancini I'd be confident of us going there and not getting beat. However with Manuel it seems it will be all or nothing. Quite exciting In a way, if IF! We were to win it would arguably be his most impressive domestic victory as manager.
