Arsenal v Leicester pre match thread 07/07/2020

[Steve Earle]

Stick with 3412 - it worked today & would match up well with the way Arteta sets up the Arse.

 

Could, just maybe perhaps God willing snatch a result there 🤞🏻🙏💪🏼🦊

Just seen if we beat Arsenal on Tuesday, we're on 61 points.

 

That will leave Arsenal in 7th on 49 points. Maximum points they'll be able to get is 61 points. 

 

Dependent on Sheff Utd's result against Burnley tomorrow and against Wolves after we play Arsenal, it'll mean lowest we can finish is 7th...

All of their defense have an error in them !

They pressed really well this evening ....going to be a very tough evening the way we either play out or play long BUT if we can manage it, playing through their press will bring big rewards ....

[Angus Scott]

I'd take a point now!

I think arsenal were happy to have wolves sit back and give them possession. We certainly won’t be doing that

[ronnup]

I'd like 352 again 

[Mark]

I'll be happy if we don't lose there for the 13th time in a row

[whoareyaaa]

Nacho, Vardy, Barnes, Perez, Telleman, Nididi need to start Albrighton in for Chilwell .. and we will win

HUGE game. Not sure what to make of it TBH. I think we will have to play a bit better than today to win it, but think that after today's result we could well do that.

[RowlattsFox]

Chelsea play before us as well on Tuesday so could jump ahead which will add to the pressure. Man Utd play villa ☹️ this is a  big game for us.

Difficult to see where you’d fit Barnes in if you play the system we finished with today. You can’t drop either Vardy, Perez or Iheanacho.

I imagine if we stick with 3 at the back, Barnes will be brought on as a super sub, later on in the game.

With that system he can only really fit into the position Perez played

 

He did excel in that position at West Brom playing behind Rodriguez and Gayle so definitely a possibility later on in the game when there may be a bit more space for him to use between the lines

If ever there was a time to break a winless duck away at Arsenal, this is it.

 

Same team as the 2nd half today, Perez in the centre, Iheanacho and Vardy up top to attack Luiz.

One of my Arsenal supporting mates gets really angry when this is brought up. He says that all teams do it and it had nothing to with us winning the league. I'm sure a couple of our players have come out and said that it spurred on the dressing room and they came back raring to go

[AllGoneTitsSchlupp]

these lot are having it

That really isn’t a difficult decision, is it? Surely a potentially resurgent Barnes offers more than Perez? 

[TrentFox]

                            Kasper 

                Justin   Evans   Soyuncu 

Albrighton                                        Chilwell 

                   Tielemans       Wilf

                             Barnes

                    Nacho         Vardy

 

All sorts of assumptions in availability, but I've surprised myself by putting Justin in at a wide CB role ahead of Fuchs or Bennett. But he gives a bit more pace and fitness than either and easily allows us to move back to a flat 4 if necessary. 

[st albans fox]

This is all pointless ......arsenal could end up with 8 players on the pitch and still nick a last minute winner via a kasper og ......
