Arsenal (h) pre-match thread

[Eaglechief]

Good news everybody! The weather forecast for the game is sunny and dry, so it's another win for us!

We always seem to play well and win games when it's sunny for some weird reason.

City 3 - 0 Arsenal.

Oh, but what's the all important temperature ?

I think it was 9c, so wrap up for the game!

 

[Easy]

I think KDB will start and Gundogan will come on for him

I’ve thought about it and you are right. De Bruyne will have enough rest between games. So he starts with Silva. Gundogan to come on is better agreed.

Only way we lose this game is if we miss our dozen chances we will get.

Warmer on the pitch for the players in the sun, fortunately.

They will provide a test on Sunday no doubt, would like to see a clean sheet against the Arse.

Think he will bring in Jesus, Walker and Merlin back in. An early goal would be good but as we have seen from other games this season eg Burnley this team has that inner belief to keep on going and eventually our quality and spirit will succeed.

Wouldn't get too confident with this game. It can go either way. Even the referee could dictate which way this goes. Who's the ref in charge for this one?

I feel midfield will be key for this game. Arsenal are quite strong taking control in midfield, but early this season they seemed to play a different game as what we used to and counter well. So gotta be on our toes. Walcott seems to always score against us, esp when starting from bench. Now we have players at full back with pace so evened out.

going with a 1-1 draw.

Excuse me?

Obviously any win will be great, but a clean sheet would shut up all the doubters in the media saying our defence is leaking too many goals.

 

[Leto]

I can't wait for Sunday. I hope that's not a bad sign.

Think he meant clean sheet and Arse don't go together in the toilet sense

After reading Len's post again, I now understand his comment. Doh, had a few beers tonight.

Having sent the better part of a liter of Mezcal down my throat... none of this makes any sense!

There's a difference between arrogance and confidence, Dax...

True. A few have mentioned.. :)

We are getting near the point where any balanced combination of the squad will likely prove too much for most opponents. So it's just a question of who is fit, who needs a rest, who best fits the game plan. Luxury indeed. What ever the team, 3 - 1 City. Arsenal jinx laid to rest.

 

[Bluekiwi]

I'm expecting a result, and game, like that one a few seasons ago which ended 6-3 to us - not necessarily that score though

 

[Puppet Master Silva]

I think they'll set up like they did when they knicked a 2-0 a couple of years back, just without Coquelin. Doubt it'll work, can only see us fucking this one up if we waste a ton of chances.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Hardest game of the season this so far,I would settle for a 1 or 2 niler.
