Arsenal - pre match thread.

[Thaksinssoldier]

We'll do them. IF he plays Gael and Sagna.

If he goes with Kolarov, Pellers should be spat out of the stadium.

I'm torn as to who should start. Logic tells me Nasri, but he's been gash in every single game he's played against Arsenal. I'd still be inclined to start him.

...........Joe............
Sagna..Ota...Mangala..Gael
........Fernandinho......
Navas.......KDB........Nasri(or Raheem)
.......Iheanacho...Kun....

2 up top has been a disaster so many times this season.

My preferred team:
................Hart......................
Sagna, Otamendi, Mangala, Clichy
.....Fernando, Fernandinho.........
...Navas,..... KDB,......... Nasri....
............Iheanacho..................

I really think Iheanacho should be played on merit ahead of Sergio based on both of their performances of late, but I can see Zabba, Yaya, and Aguero/Bony starting in smoe formation or other.

Kun's chasing the golden boot, so that will never happen unless he's hurt.

Not making the CL would make the season a disaster.

I could handle it if we didn't win this weekend, I could handle it (just) if we didn't get top 4 and didn't have CL football next year, but what makes this extra gut wrenching is the thought that if we don't get top 4, we all know who will...

kun's chasing the golden boot??ffs thats an individual priority. i think the clubs major priority is to get a top 4 position..we need players to put the clubs ambition above their personal glory. play as a team, pass the fu**ing ball

Same team that started against Madrid except Mangala in for Kompany and Nasri in for Yaya. Nobody needs to be rotated, we've got two games left. Best team available and try not to get dicked. last chance to beat a top 8 side this season and our last chance to salvage 4th.

Throwing the Southampton game means we have to win this, but it also means Arsenal don't. I expect them to come here, sit back to stay solid then press high at key times and smash us on the counter attack. Pellegrini still hasn't worked out how to play against a side that does that in 3 years here, i have little optimism that will change this weekend.

West Ham?
