Arsenal pre-match thread

Recommended Posts

If there was ever a game to play 433 then this would probably be it, but we just don't seem to be able to play well using that shape, no matter who the personnel. For many seasons under different managers with different players we never seem to be successful with it.

 

Very tempting to go 4231 as others have suggested above with DD and Kante CMs with Albrighton, Mahrez Schlupp behind Vardy.

 

But think Mahrez could be more valuable wide where there's more space, given how many central players Arsenal will have and getting one on one with Monreal. 

 

Kasper - De Laet Huth Morgan Schlupp (just over Fuchs) - Mahrez, DD, Kante, Albrighton - Vardy Ulloa

you lot picking RDL vs Arsenal........really???

 

Just because the team is winning doesn't mean everything is going well and changes shouldn't be looked at....there is room for improvement with too many goals against a back 4 that is not playing well together. IMO RDL is the weak link regardless of his okay attacking skills.

Who'd you swap him with?

                                Schmeichel

 

 

De Laet            Morgan       Huth         Fuchs

 

Albrighton     Drinkwater     Kante       Schlupp

 

                                      Mahrez

 

                                       Vardy

 

Two solid banks of four. Wingers who can defend and attack quickly on the counter. Mahrez in a free role causing all sorts of problems and Vardy being Vardy. 

 

 

Exactly the team I was thinking

Schmeichel


 


De Laet - Huth - Morgan - Fuchs


 


Mahrez - Kante - Drinkwater - Albrighton


 


Ulloa - Vardy

Do we start high tempo press against a side that lives to counter? I suggest this is going to be similar to the Spurs game. The manager showing his pragmatic Italian side . 4-4-1-1 is as attacking as we'll get. could even be 4-5-1. Don't expect us to go at them gung ho early on. mind you, we are used to giving sides a two goal start ...........
