Arsenal away pre match thread

[Champions2012!]

Draw at best. Expect us to lose by at least two.

time to break out the gifs me thinks :(

 

[SWP's back]

Kompany out as expected, Aguero back in the squad.

When's Belgium's next game so I can watch the skipper again?

 

[paulchapo]

Completely correct, however i think the difference is you have better cover for K compared to what we have for sanchez.

Ha ha really?? Have you seen us defend lately?? A Sunday league pub team's attack after a night on the piss could cause havoc in our defence!

we will have to score at least 3 goals to get anything from this game , we obviously have the players to do that , but so do the gooners , our defence is shambolic at the moment , but ask most gooners and they will say the same about their defensive qualities . It is not just the back 4 , i think both teams are crap defending as a team , the wingers and midfielders of both teams just do not defend or track back , expect a high scoring game , and the rest of europe laughing at the best two squads in the premiership defending like Charlie Cairoli , and looking forward to drawing either in the chumps league.

I think we'll go without a striker. Essential to try to hold of Arsenal during their opening burst. Kun on for 20 or so in the second half if needed.

Wales were in the top 10 in the world recently , which puts the FIFA rankings into perspective.(apologies to all taffy blues)

Wouldn't count on it mate, unless you think Arsenal are going ro score a hat full against us. We've not scored a single goal away from home since the start of November against Sevilla and you have to go all the way back to mid September when we took the lead at Spurs to find the last time we scored a goal away in the league. Almost 3 months without an away league goal. Our diabolical defence is clouding the fact that we've been utterly awful going forward too for the past few months. there's no gameplan with or without the ball. and we can't even manage to have the majority of possession in most matches either.

I'm finding it very difficult to be optimistic about this match.
