Arsenal away pre match thread

You don't drop Silva unless it's absolutely neccessary - which it's not.

In your opinion. However, our best performance of the season came without him.

Was a fantastic player :(

5 in 20 mins against Newcastle. He just needs games

Great to see him back, although I suspect he'll struggle for a while, but he will hit form again. That's the way it's always been in the past.

Sanchez if fit will not start
Having said that......he apparently doesn't like being on the bench....so who knows?
I'd say too soon to come back after a hamstring injury

Wenger reckons it's a bit too soon for him, but apparently he was running in South America. I think he'll at the very least be on the bench.

He'll be in a lot better condition than Aguero too, who was struggling when he got injured anyway. He wasn't able to walk on his foot for quite some time. This will have set him back still further. But the sooner he's back playing, the sooner one of the best players in the game will be back to his best. We've really missed him.

I am hoping we setup the way we did in Seville and sit deep and counter.

Playing our possession game will play into Arsenal's hands like it did with United. They just pressed United off the pitch and broke woth immense pace and won the game in the opening 25 minutes or so.

We don't have to win this game, a draw will be a good result.

We should see that Arsenal have to go away to us, United, Liverpool, Everton and Spurs in the second half of the season.

How many more injuries can he have though it's going to take it's toll eventually. He's been bad all season but when he came back from his last injury he was awful. A liability in terms of work rate. He's my favourite ever city player and if he left tommorow he would go down as the biggest legend for this club. But it's just my opinion I'm fearing the worst for aguero at the minute.

I don't think one good performance without him is justification to leave him out against Arsenal.
My opinion will always be a fit Silva starts. Fair dos if you don't.

Barcelona played well without Messi once too.

No KDB?!

Pace on the break
He's been crap recently.

Defend deep, distrupt midfield and hit them on the break

Sagna or Clichy need to play otherwise the tarquins will have nobody to boo....
