Arsenal away pre match thread

[Marvin]

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.

We have to make the best of what we have, but there's no doubt that Arsenal are playing the better football at the moment. Sanchez returns to training today and if he plays they will not miss the other injured players. They have one superstar in Sanchez, we have 3 in Kompany, Silva and Aguero.

IMO we'll win this. It'll be tough but pretty much every game is these days.

Hart

Sagna Otamendi Mangala Kolarov

Delph Fernandinho

De Bruyne Yaya Silva

Bony

Just can't see Aguero or Kompany making it maybe the bench. Going to go for a 3-1 City......Sevilla away type win :)

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...........

We're just ticking over at the moment. The only problem with Aguero's return is that in the past he has taken quite a few games to come up to speed. I know he scored against Liverpool but in general he only seems to come alive and be the really top player when he is absolutely 100%, and when he is not quite there he is very ordinary

Plenty games coming thick and fast though now Marvin,he's gotta be back soon surely,we got quite a few difficult matches coming as well,unless he comes back v Sunderland,which might not be as testing if not 100% I suppose

We have a score to settle for the defeat at Etihad last season. Hope the players are fired up for the challenge.

batter 'em or be humbled

 

[Chippy_boy]

Sorry to sound negative but can't see any outcome other than us getting battered.

We're defending like school kids, not creating enough and not making the most of the chances either. Not a recipe for success.

I disagree Arsenals defence has improved over the last 12 months they defend deep without the ball now.

Ordinary? Lol. So he scored a beauty on his return against Liverpool but we'll just brush that aside.
A 70% fit Aguero is still the better option than Bony and I guarantee Arsenals shape will change depending on wherever he starts or not.

Right OK,I'll ask you a simplistic question then,if you were a defender,who would you sooner face out of those 2 ?
