Arsenal away pre match thread

[paulchapo]

I am always pessimistic at the best of times but having seen pretty average sides waltz through our 'defence' recently I am terrified at what a better quality side such as Arsenal are going to do to it! I am more than happy for the Blues to make me eat my words though,more than happy!!

Has Delph ever played as a left winger in his life?

Strange playing Kolarov over Clichy against a rapid side.

Let's hope he does some damage while he's on then Kaz..[/QU

Damage to them and not himself, hopefully.

We don't have to win this to win the Title but if we can ,it puts a clear marker down that we have the will to be Champions.

There is this team called Leicester everyone keeps ignoring.

The key in this game is the performance of the defense and thus there is little reason to be optimistic based on what has happened this season and the injury issues. But this will be a fitting occasion for the defensive players to finally put in an assured and solid performance. It will be very impressive if we get the three points from this game.

Glad Aguero is back. We have gone for the theoretically safe and conservative approach of three in the midfield but the key is that we remain solid at the back and as long as that is the case, that is the hope, there is more than enough quality out there to win the game.

Henry looks fucking clueless......

No it doesn't. Delph is a midfielder and therefore it's a midfield 3.
You've decided he's only there to protect Kolarov. I beg to differ.

True. He's the kind of player that if he spots danger in the middle, he's not going to just stand there and watch it develop. That does ease my concern a little!

Based on the manager just saying he's playing on the left...

Left hand side of midfield.
