Arsenal (H) | Pre-Match Thread

[Vienna_70]

Well from what we’ve seen from the last few games, be prepared for the same old selfish plays from him. Shouldn’t be anywhere near the starting lineup imo. I’ll be happy to eat my words though should we win.

So?

Whom would you start instead?

 

[The Black Shed]

If Luiz plays we win. That's assuming we have men in the right areas to press their central defence, because the arse do not look comfortable passing out from the back.

 

[OccupiedPalestineBlues]

Here's Bernard's 'heavily North Manchester accented', and beautifully low-key, preview of the City v Arse game tomorrow.

Watch, enjoy, subscribe to this diamond in the rough, hit the thumbs-up button, and celebrate this good honest blue putting in the long hours for our education and enjoyment.

Luiz was there best player in the cup semi final, Arteta has given him a considerable boost following his horror show in the league game at ours...

we win this by being clinical as 99% of the time when we fly out the blocks, nobody lives with us.... couple of early goals and they will do what Arsenal always do, fold

we will hand them there arse tomorrow, gut feeling!

 

[Brendan110_0]

I see us struggling to create any chances unless Bernardo and Foden play in the middle. Pep to go with the speedy Gundogan and Rodri - lose 0 - 3 :( prove me wrong Pep.

 

[117 M34]

that doesnt narrow the field down much

Ha. Maybe not. But we moan about refs who we say are united fans and Liverpool fans who probably aren't. He is. Although, I think he has always been pretty fair when reffing them or us - apart from the very dodgy penalty he gave them last season for a 'foul' on mane.

 

[big gaz]

Ederson
Walker Laporte Dias
Cancelo Rodri Bernardo Mendy
Foden Aguero Raheem

Bernardo and Cancelo have key role in this formation.
We need more dynamism in midfield. Bernardo brings too much of it too our play.
With absence of KDB, We should create our formations around Bernardo.

Honest ?

 

[ancoats]

can anybody remember when pep had a full squad to pick from or even the best 11 must have been a long time ago
pep and city must have one of the best squad but very rarely are all fit at the same time

i wonder what the unchanged line up percentage is at city vs liverpool

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Ederson

Walker
Dias
Laporte
Cancelo

Fernandinho
Rodri

Foden
Silva
Mahrez

Sterling

With Foden and Bernie in there hopefully they’ll make up for a lack of pressing from Mahrez.

 

[Vienna_70]

With Foden and Bernie in there hopefully they’ll make up for a lack of pressing from Mahrez.

The only real alternative to Mahrez is Torres, and I don’t think he’s ready to start for us yet, though I’d love Pep and Ferran to prove me wrong.

 

[bluemoon32]

Time to see if we're a one man team or not.
Up for other players to stand up and show what they're made of.
2-1 City

Does anybody think Mahrez would benefit from electric shock therapy ?

 

[Father Paul]

He needs a good kick in the arse at the very least.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

He needs a good kick in the arse at the very least.

David Luis is the man for that .

 

[the old abbey]

I am fully expecting Pep to play a trident of energetic players in midfield:

Fern - Rodri - Gundogan

Agree the pace movement and inventiveness of those 3. We'll rip arsenals midfield to shreds.

 

[Centurions]

The only real alternative to Mahrez is Torres, and I don’t think he’s ready to start for us yet, though I’d love Pep and Ferran to prove me wrong.

Didn't Torres start against Leeds?

 

[Gray]

He needs a good kick in the arse at the very least.

I would put a rocket up it.

 

[David Silva #21]

Honest ?

Actually last season, we used this formation several times and got 3 points too.
But in those line-ups, Kevin played instead of Bernardo.
Remember our game aganist Everton or away game aganist Shef UTD

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

Lobotomise the ****

 

[mat]

Gundog will tear the arse a new one.
