Arsenal away pre match thread

[Andy Morrisons jock strap]

Shitting myself is an understatement. If we don't perform, we could be really embarrassed.

Just heard the ad for the game on Sky think it's Patrick Stewart fucking quality

A win for City? Make it so...........

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Think the team needs to be 4-2-3-1 (assuming VK not fit as speculated and Aguero not 100% fit);

Hart
Sagna
Otamendi
Mangala
Clichy (due to pace Arsenal have)
Delph
Fernandinho
Yaya
Silva
Navas
Sterling

To many attacking players for me in that selection. We need to play counter attack football.

Hart
Sagna
Otamendi
Mangala
Kolerov (Crossing and goal threat which Clichy doesn't have in his locker)
Fernando (To play the whole game like he has an elastic band attached between him and the two centre backs)
Fernandinho
Delph
Sterling
De Bruyner
Silva

We play with a false striker and control midfield which will be key in this game.

We need to be on from the get go and re-stamp our authority on the big clubs. We've lost our mojo/air of confidence playing against them recently, like we're frail and frightened.

Get stuck in early and bully them - a draw would still be a good result though.

That's what it looks like, seem to be scared shitless of the big sides for some reason still after all these years

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.

Now just remind me again how many world class players Leicester have? No excuses we should be good enough to go and get a point if he sets us up right. Defeat away at Arsenal and Leicester and it's going to get interesting. We don't know how many games Aguero and Kompany will play for the rest of the season. A good manager should be able to work around this as Leicester do.

Aguero has been terrible this season barring Chelsea and Newcastle (2nd half) he won't be striking fear in defences for much longer unfortunately. He will never get back to his best from now on.

We've got some absolute shite fans on here.

I wish they'd attach their "allegiance" to someone else. They suck every bit of enthusiasm and life out of everyone near them.

This. Our worst team is better on paper than Leicester's best.

If we played with the same spirit and determination; and played each match to our strengths and the opposition weakness we'd be points clear.

As it is I'd take a draw next game.
