Arsenal may have gotten "back on track" but they've played a load of home games within them. Last 5 games they've won 3 at home against less than average sides...

I'm expecting a win, hopefully Torres will score but don't mind. Loving how everybody underrates Luiz + Torres, will only make it better if they get the better of you

You do remember that 7 out of 8 games DOES include a win away at marseille and other european wins.

Don't just shrug us off like that, form is form. You don't have to beat manchester city every week to be declared a squad that's good enough.

This should be a good match, I expect a draw, but I'm hoping our boys get the win.

We are a better team, you could no doubt win but i'd be very disappointed if that happened, especially at our home. The only player you have that is really worrying is RVP.

Gervinho and Walcott running at you during a counter attack doesn't seem scary to you? AVB plays a high line of defence, and your lot HAVE conceded in the past 7 or 8 games, and many of the goals HAVE been from open play.

Also, your players are fatigued from carling cup tie. The win could go either ways, but I think it's a little arrogant to say that only one of our players could be causing you problems.

by lszanto Fri Oct 28, 2011 6:21 pm

Not heaps, it takes more than pace to score goals.

Not really fatigued as we played our b team for the large majority of the game.

by Raptorgunner Fri Oct 28, 2011 6:28 pm

This is going to be one hell of a match, I just hope Vermaelen plays.

Not confident of a win, but I think it's completely in our reach if we work hard. I would be happy with a draw though.

Drogba's suspended.

by Be/\/ceCALI Fri Oct 28, 2011 8:01 pm

Torres is the guy to watch out for in this game and I think Koscielny will be able to handle him

by Babun Fri Oct 28, 2011 8:08 pm

Rentboys are the new Arsenal and Arsenal the new Manu Very Happy

Arsenal will win by 1 goal difference Very Happy

by Sushi Master Fri Oct 28, 2011 8:13 pm

I'll be very happy with a draw, but I just have a good feeling about this game. After our shit start to the season, things are finally starting to look up. RG's right about our horrible away record, but remember last season? It was better than our home record Laughing

.

Time to even those out, and what a morale booster it would be to win at Stamford. No Drogba is great since he's the one usually ripping us a new one. I'm personally not worried about Scouress. Djourou is gonna have a hard time with Mata, though.

Anyways, my brain says 1-1 but my gut 1-2 to teh Arse.

Chezny
Djourou Mertesacker Koscielny Santos
Song Arteta
Ramsey
Walcott van Persie Gervinho

That's what I expect to see.

Mainly sitting back and hitting those blitzkrieg counters. Since it's a derby match I expect lots of open spaces.

by Lex Fri Oct 28, 2011 8:17 pm

Djourou at RB

by Raptorgunner Fri Oct 28, 2011 8:19 pm

Torres has not played in a while I hope he is rusty. :shisha:

Jenkinson ain't fit and it's not like we have much of a choice. I'd instruct him to go rugby on Mata since that's the only way he's gonna stop him. Mertesacker will have to be extra careful to clean up whoever comes through.

Unless we gamble Koscielny at RB, but that seems a waste to me considering his godly form and the way he courts players into lending them their balls.

Unless Wenger deploys Santos at RB and puts Vermaelen at LB where he has been known to play.

by Babun Fri Oct 28, 2011 8:33 pm

Djourou is super slowpoke Very Happy

Koscielny---Verminator---Merte-----Santos

Santos will do the attacking Very Happy

by Raptorgunner Fri Oct 28, 2011 8:34 pm

I dont know why but I think Frimpong would do a good job at RB. I know its crazy. Clubber

This is what I wanted and I hope we will see this line up.

by Sushi Master Fri Oct 28, 2011 8:37 pm

Koscielny hasn't played much at RB, though. Risk 1.

Vermaelen isn't 100% in form yet. Against Chelsea. Away. Risk 2.

I'm not sure. That's too many changes in a defense that hasn't been doing bad at all.

Jenkinson vs Mata & Cole Very Happy

I don't think we're going to see Cole as rampant as usual, unless you want Walcott raping your right flank.

We might even get a grindfest.

Still better than the Clasicos, though Laughing

by Jay29 Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:34 pm

Jenkinson against Mata and Cole.

Djourou against Mata and Cole.

Pick your poison, I guess.

by Raptorgunner Fri Oct 28, 2011 9:38 pm

I still think Frimpong is the best option he will knock both Cole and Mata out. :matrix:
