Arsenal v City Pre Match Discussion Thread

United go there everytime and get stuck in in midfield, need some tasty challenges from the off and there heads and arses will go- we'll scrape this if we get Jane Fonda!!

Hopefully a big performance from Mario if he comes on

We shouldn't be missing one of our best players for fixtures like this, because there is an international tournament getting under way in a weeks time.

Its not exactly crept up on us..........
We knew the score and should have adequately compensated for it.

We did, we went out and bolstered our midfield with Rodwell and Garcia....!

Oh yeah.

Bolstered?? Not excactly the first word that springs to mind......

I can't shake the awfull feeling that this Barry/Garcia/Milner midfield will be our downfall today.
I hope it's not a bad omen.
Come on lads, do make us proud.

Barry/Garcia midfield two. Won't be winning this game from open play then. Defend well, break as quick as possible, win the set piece if you can't score. Every fucking trick in the book if it gets the result.

Worried about Garcia and Barry, well if I'm honest Garcia.

 

[AgüeroKun]

Milner in CM! Maybe Mancini isn't all that stubborn and will change tactics when need be?

People are desperate to decide the title long before it's done, it's ridiculous really. This isn't a title decider, there's still like 18 games left.

Even if we fall 10 points behind, it's not over. Just think about how written off we were last year, this would be nothing compared to that. Just start winning and we can do it.

No Mario again, how the hell is he supposed to prove his doubters wrong, from the bench all the time, there is a lack of pace in that team, and he would give us that option, playing on the break.

I think with expectation/optimism low this game points towards a messy game with Garcia heading in a winner. Don't rate him but think this game has that Garcia 'vibe'.
