Arsenal (h) pre-match thread

[MCFC1993]

Arsenal 5 at the back and not playing their best midfielder (Ramsey).

We should dominate this one, have to be switched on for their counters with Lacazette and Aubameyang playing.

I reckon so. Can’t imagine Fernandinho will drop back into a back four.

——————-——Ederson———————
—-Walker——Otamendi—-Laporte—-
———Gundogan—Fernandinho———-
Bernardo—De Bruyne—Silva—-Sterling
————————Aguero———————-

This, but Sterling up front with Aguero?

If were are playing without a left back then we are showing Arsenal zero respect , they can be dangerous going forward, this looks like a gamble but hopefully it pays off , looking at both selections the Goons crap defence and our non existent left back my revised prediction is a 6-5 win :)

Hmmmm do arsenal normally play two forwards in games..

Yeah, one of them usually moves wide with Iwobi on the other side, they usually have Ramsey linking it together though.

Tin hat on time but any time I see Gundogan on my confidence lessens.....defesnively he is a liability.....and he gets in the way and slows down our attacks..the one thing he does bring is the odd goal but other than that I wouldn't have him anywhere near a starting 11 ever....in my opinion he weakens us when he starts

Not sure how that system will work. I'm just hoping our front 7 creates so many chances that we just outscore them.

Yes they’ve been playing both of their strikers. Aubameyang often drifts to the left side.

Guaranteed to be 1-0 afer Arsenal's first shot on goal then.

Bernardo and sterling won't be inverted. They'll be hugging the touchline with David and Kevin providing the option inside.

Yeah, hugging the touchline of their weaker feet, thus coming inside and making it narrow. Unless Bernardo is on the left which we virtually never do.

This isn’t a game to be fcuking about with formations etc.

Well after that last miserable performance I guess it’s time to shake things up.
