Arsenal (h) pre-match thread

Plenty on Arsenal-mania are confident.

I'll have a couple of what they are on, please.

They're not allowed to be confident? Last 8 games v Arsenal, we have won just once. 3 defeats and 4 draws. Tough game this, they will raise their level I'm sure, and we could be jaded after Naples.

I see Xhaka has the most passes of any player in the league.

Hopefully he'll be swarmed all over tomorrow and will have no time in which to dictate play for Arsenal.

They've mostly been back to the defenders, though. He won't dictate owt, he's not good enough.

Yep this is another tough test regardless of their league position. They will up their game no doubt. It will be interesting to see what tactic wenger goes with...does he go and play toe to toe with us and Pep, or does he go conservative and play on the counter.

Honestly either way i think we have to much for them and being at home is a bonus. First 20 mins will be very interesting becuase i suspect we will come out all guns blazing and basically shock them like we did Napoli.

So is that how football works? Interesting.

That was my initial thought when I saw he had the most passes - he's not good enough to be that deep lying playmaker.

Swarm all over him and if all he's good for is passing back to his defenders, then he'll be in trouble.

I think we'll press them to fuck. They love over doing it, at the back.

Just realised that if results go our way with us winning and the rags losing then even if they retain 2nd place they will actually be closer to 7th place than to us :)

I think so too.

Walcott is due to not have a good game/goal against us - - I hope :)
