Arsenal v City Pre Match Discussion Thread

[deano ou812]

They have went through a sticky patch,but have started to score goals again,as already mentioned our record their is awful,added to the fact they relish raising their game against us,can only see one outcome a home win,but sooner or later we will get one over them,and regardless injuries,suspensions and players away at the acon,and with arsenals shocking defence i'll go for a 2.3 to us....

Not looking forward to this at all, Arsenal can beat anyone at the emirates when they raise there game and they always raise it when they play us plus a Garcia + Barry partnership doesn't look to promising but theres really no alternative.

Zaba
Kompany
Nastasic
Clichy

Barry
Garcia

Milner
Tevez
Dzeko/Balo
Silva

Not a fan of Balotelli but I wouldn't mind seeing him start he has a point to prove and would give us something different. Set pieces are also crucial Garcia, Kompany and Nastasic should cause problems. At least we will know what we need to do with united playing before us if Liverpool do us a favour and win a draw wouldn't be a bad result but a United win then we need the three points or its looking bleak.

One of our biggest games of the season so far - we all know away at Arsenal is one of our bogey fixtures! Would happily take a draw but never have a good feeling about this game!

They are playing well at the moment and scoring goals; the only way to get a point - or, hopefully more - it to attack them. Their 'keeper and defence arn't invincible but Walcott, Oxlade - Chamberlain and Wilshere and doing well at the moment.

Chill. Arsenal are nothing, repeat, nothing like they were a few years ago. This is our time to end the away form here, our team, even depleted, will, I believe be too strong for them. Their defence is shaky at best, whilst ours should cope with their attackers, Walcott looks good through the middle but that's about it .
0-2 City.

It's a major game for Milner and Barry and if we are to win I suspect they will both have to play to their full potential and boss the show. If they do, and a chance presents itself, we could leave with all points.

 

[MC ID]

We always have these 'bogey' teams and I can't see anything but a draw or loss, we seem incapable when playing against them.

 

[stonie]

Just can't see anything other than a defeat in this one but as we all know funnier things have happened in football....
