Arsenal (h) pre-match thread

[Tricky_Trev]

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.

Yep we beat last season at home and you seen That team compared to one we will put out tomorrow!?

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 :)

Don't underestimate them, they will be shit scared of us giving them a good hiding and we know we're more than capable of it...will be a tough game

Some suggestions I saw on newsnow that Kolasinac maybe out. Big miss for them if he is

The suggestions started last week when he suffered a hip injury against Swansea.

He is expected to be back tomorrow.

I'll underestimate all i like. It counts for nothing. As long as the team don't ;-)

 

[Saddleworth2]

I can’t wait for this. Haven’t seen us live since Stoke. This season seems special and as long as we have retained energy levels I am confident 5hat we will win and it will be a real spectacle. Don’t expect Sergio to start but no doubt he will get some game time. What a reception he will get!

Saw a couple of gooners on some youtube channel saying we're a plastic, nothing club with no history etc etc.

If you won things in life 80' s and 90's, you've got history. Anything either side of that is obviously irrelevant.

One a certain DT from Arsenal Fan TV.

This should explain it :-

Delirium tremens (DTs) is a rapid onset of confusion

Reading alot of the coments here I think some are overly optimistic, others overly pesemistic. Arsrnal is a strong team, and in the top six of PL, there is no easy match in PL and they will give it all, they need the 3p and will fight us for it! but at the end of 90min. I think there heads will be «haning low», they will give us a real fight. So untill the match start, let’s take s breath n relax. it will be a good match and l am sure it will be over 4,5 goals aftet 90min.
Possibly a clean sheet if we deffend they way we can, and Arnsnal dont get to counter us. then its a big chance we will keep a clean sheet. i think the 20 first min will tell us what we cam expect. if we dominate and get a goal or two befoen 30nin mark, 80% we will keep a clean sheet.

Pep will probably play the «regualr» PL line up SJS front, kdb, silva MF, Fara MF , SWOD Back and Ederson in goal.
