I hope this is the game and stage we really show everyone what we're all about and why we are the best team in this league.

This is a tough game to win with all the injuries we have. I'll settle for a point, and live to fight another day. That can only be achieved by putting the extra player in midfield in my opinion.

My team:

Hart
Sagna
Ottamendi
Mangala
Kolereov
Ferandinho
Delph
Yaya
De Bruyner
Sterling
Silva

Yes can't remember the last time we went away from home against a title rival and turned them over. We need to do to them what they did to us at home last season - sit back & hit them on the break.

The title is there for the taking...

Play 4-1-4-1 like we did against Sevilla ... and that 1 up top to be Aguero and if he's not back in yet then play Sterling or even KdB there ... actually even Kelichi (basically anyone but Pony).

I have a feeling we'd go 4-3-3 though ... if Aguero isn't back or 4-2-3-1 if he is, and that is why Pelligrini won't be here next season!

Worked OK for him 2nd half against BM. It's also how the rest of the team play.
We can't keep blaming our CB pairings , because they're often exposed by the
shape or lethargy of the rest.

Isn't that what I said I agree anyway

No tired excuses. Plenty of time to review the opposition. More than enough time work on tactics to get something out of the game. Arsenal have injuries as well. In short no excuses and time to stand up in a big away game and show that we can win this league.

I'm afraid we need to approach this game seriously and set up tactically to stifle them. There's no disgrace or cowardice in looking at the opposition and planning our approach in that context.

If we give them the time and space we gave Swansea we will ship goals.

Hope Aguero is back,badly needed for this game

Overall the sooner the better, but if it was purely in terms of this game would he be an improvement on Bony? At least Bony is fit and scoring. If the past is any guide Aguero will struggle for quite some while.

This game has come a little too soon for us, but we have managed some very good periods of football with this team (Sevilla and 2nd half against BMG)

It's a fair point,regarding Bony,however that Arsenal defence is a little like ours,they can concede,and don't like forwards running at them,like Aguero does,but Bony doesn't,I just think they'll shit themselves with the prospect of Aguero going at them,as he has proven to them in the past,plus it's about time he was back,so called telling reporters after the Southampton game that he was fine...........
