I'd farking love it if we beat them, farking love it.

There's no team I want to beat more than this lot, at this moment they're the team I despise the most.

 

[MaraDon]

they are very vulnerable but they can score a lot.
it will be all about balance and fluency, we can do it, but we need to be 1000% on it.

 

[Rex Stone]

I'd be tempted to start Welbeck over Alexis for this. He's the perfect player for an away game.

Key to the game is how well we can protect Per, have to try and make space in front of the box a no fly zone. If we let De Bruyne get into space and they start putting one-twos in we're f*cked.

We're not going to get many chances so we need to be incredibly clinical. Big test for Lacazette, what we paid that money for really.

 

[AVENTUS]

Need a Performance like the one against Chelsea to get anything out of this game.

Have to be very Disciplined.

I’m 50/50 think it can go either way

My response to you:

Park the freaking bus, hope Alexis/Laca can nick one on the counter. Xhaka and Ramsey are in for a rough afternoon.

Top opening post.

As a big believer in the law of averages I didn't like the bit about only having lost one of our last nine matches against City.

 

[krengon]

If Welbeck is fit he should start, otherwise the same front three..

Feel like we have a chance to get something here, need to be clinical though, don't see us getting too many good chances, so we can't afford to be wasteful like we've been so far this season..

Trying some self deprecating humour are we? Too ****ing late.

Confident we'll win this.

 

[Makingtrax]

Confident we'll win this.

Oh ****. We've lost this then.

 

[rich 1990]

Oh ****. We've lost this then.

It's November, I am never wrong this month. It's the other 11 months I have problems.

When a game promises goals, that's when I think we'll turn it on.

Cech
Koscielny Mertersacker Monreal
Bellerin Xhaka Ramsey Iwobi Kolasinac
Özil
Lacazette

Do not want Alexis to play this match. It will be just like the Alex Oxlade Chamberlain situation.

Wenger is a fool if the thinks Sanchez won't be affected.

If Welbeck is fit...play him.

Are you Kevin Keegan in disguise ?

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

At least they not that good defensively they concede like 2 goals a game. We must be seriously discipline here every time we lose the ball they gonna counter quick. A draw would be an amazing result.

 

[celestis]

@American_Gooner loving the the first stat . These ***** are our bunnies , show them no respect.

 

[Buvey]

Let's be real. 6-0

 

[DasBootist]

Pretty nervous about Mertesacker starting this one.

 

[kraphtous]

I would do terrible things for a win here so just so I can see Pep’s stupid, smug and satisfied face cry about referees, the pitch, the atmosphere, the wind or what ever excuse he finds when he loses a game. Bald c**t.
