We WILL beat Arsenal next week.

[Daviesmcfc]

Trust, after the disappointment of yesterday we need to beat Arsenal. A draw is not good enough.

However I feel that we could and should beat Arsenal for a number of reasons:

1.) They will be playing for nothing, they won't win the title and we are chasing for fourth, our players will have the extra motivation.
2.) Spurs will most likely lose to United in the early kick off which will make our players more motivated to beat Arsenal. Like it did with Spurs and Chelsea yesterday.
3.) Arsenal are missing Fabregas, Galls and a number of key players. We have a virtually fully fit squad.

4.) Having watched Arsenal this season and against Spurs last week, they are very poor without the ball and when they face a side who can do something with the ball, they can be undone easily.


I genuinely can see us winning this game and think we will do.

I keep remembering Stamford Bridge earlier in the season. I think if we're clinical enough, we can do to Arsenal what we did to Chelsea.

Spoke to Toure and De Jong after the game, both sounded confident, managed to speak to Kolo for a few minutes, he said we can do it, and i said we played well today and we passed it around well, Given did have alot to do, he said he was upset but we'll be going there looking for a win definitely.

i think when were up against attacking times with more room we can be good i just hate teams that park the bus, so hard to break down.

We are capable of beating them.

Will Mancini get his tactics right?

As I have mentioned.

Vermaleen and Fabregas out. Almunia wouldn't even be our third choice keeper and van Persie just back from injury.

I think we'll smother them. Tevez will give them a good roasting.

We need to go their with the mentality that we need to win, that a draw is unacceptable. We need to play like we did in the second half against Chelsea. We most certainly have the players to go their and win.

I've got a good feeling about next week. I feel that we'll really will do them well.

Agreed, I have no doubt we will beat them.

Even without Fabregas if we give their midfield the freedom we gave United's yesterday we will get beat, particularly with Van Persie on the pitch.

We haven't won away at Arsenal since the 70s if memory serves so we are due a win but can't see it I have to say. But the Chelsea result gives us hope.

Strangely enough, despite our relatively good home record I think we are better away from home at the moment hitting sides on the break. We haven't got the invention in midfield at home to unpick the lock in central midfield against sides that will sit back against us.

The last three decent sides we have played at home (and no I don't include a Brum side in holiday mode) being Liverpool, Everton and United we have scored a grand total of no goals against.

I was at Highbury on the day that we last won there , back in 1975 ... and we almost threw that away after being three goals up!

The only way anyone is gonna get anything at their place is to go at them and create a few chances ...... like the rags have done a few times there , like Hull did there last season , and like Everton did a few months back

if we go there with the same attitude as yesterday we'll get fuck all .... because Arsenal , whilst they be a bit erratic , are still more than capable of ending our hopes ....... it's getting a bit late in the day now , and we have to get real ..... we either want 4th place , or we don't!
