Arsenal - pre match thread.

I think if nasri starts with yaya and KDB in no 10 role we will win the two afore mentioned link up so well come we need this top 4!

Selecting Yaya after his inept performance in midweek would just be so wrong and just cannot be considered. I'd go with:

Hart
Sagna, Otamendi, Mangala, Clichy
Fernando, Fernandinho
Sterling, Nasri, DeBruyne
Aguero

I know ranger and I am as frustrated as you. I just feel that Yaya needs certain players around him and I can't see pellers dropping him as he's captain when komps is out. I do like your team although I'd swap KDB with Nasri.

Should have been sacked after Juventus defeat at the Etihad, bottled that completely and it was the start of a nosedive in form.

Burnley away last season for me. Problem is who would have come in knowing they would be gone again in 18m.

Nasri never seems to play well against Arsenal.Hope he bucks the trend!

Apparently the Gunners have Joe's number based on his goalkeeping losses 0-2 and 3-0.
Why not think outside the box? Willie had the number on Liverpool (Joe's last loss? ) and it stands to reason Willie might do it to the Gunners. No?

What a boring twat.

Fingers crossed haha.
For the last 2/3 seasons my old man (obviously a blue) has joked that Samir and Yaya play like best mates only looking for each other, to an extent i can see where hes coming from, throw KDB in the number 10 role with Sergio up top on his own and i think we will hammer Le Arse.

To me there's a difference between a shit performance because a player is shit and the garbage kolarov (who we all know is capable of so much more) served up last weekend. I have watched some truly terrible and some amazing City teams over many years and can't remember a player mailing it in like that. He knows he's off but the least he could do for the millions of pounds of compensation he has received over the years is try. Worst City performance in recent memory.

I think he's matched it on several occasions.

If they're not motivated and up for this match, they need to seriously consider another career. God forbid we lose this, it could be a really bad first season for pep when he arrives.

 

[kaz7]

If he has yaya in a 2 and delph on the wing would anyone be surprised?

we will have a better picture of what's required for Top 4 by tomorrow night.
-Rags and Hammers on Saturday. Losses or even Draws by either of them, really makes 67 pts plausible for 4th place on goal differential.

the Canaries are fighting for their lives... they could really help us out.
the Swans...yea they are done for the year (and we need them to be like that for next sunday)
