Arsenal match thread - Sunday 28th at 12.00

[StanSP]

Oof what an effort from Barnes 

[Finnegan]

Nice idea Nacho. Just a bit heavy. More of that lad. 

[Vacamion]

 

Vardy is not looking great with how he is moving.

Lovely run by Kelechi in to space. Good effort for the chip to Vardy 

More of that will do very nicely

Keown: " there's a history of left backs at this clubs, isn't there?"

 

Is that not true of every single club in the world?

It's the evolution and they just keep getting better.

 

Thomas > Chilwell > Mattock > Sheehan

Your right but I feel he’s been making stupid errors with the ball recently. It’s clearly not his game

Yeah I know what you mean, the cynic in me thinks he may be trying too hard to show what he can do to potential suitors, given our links to defensive midfielders recently

Yeah looking really awkward. Not a good sign.

Convinced there's something up with Vardy, barely gone into a run yet let alone a sprint. 

[OadbyBlue]

Nacho looks bright, a fit Vardy would’ve got onto the end of that 

[TheUltimateWinner]

If Vardy needs taking off I’d push Barnes up top, he’s in shit hot form

He's not a forward, that isn't his game.

He's not a forward though. 

[StanSP]

Didn't see any touch on Pepe there for that 'foul'

 

[BraunstoneFox23]

Pepe loves a dive doesn’t he? Perfect fit for arsenal

[Nalis]

If Vardy struggles and needs to come off, whats the best approach? Bring on Tavares and move Iheanacho to the Vardy role?

Not sure what the other option would be though!

[The People's Hero]

Vardy hasn't been properly fit the entire season; I thought this was pretty much common knowledge and many of us have alluded to it.

 

His hip problem is unlikely to go away in my view.

 

[Suzie the Fox]

We really need another else this is going to be a nervy game. 

[Finnegan]

I know we played mid week but I'd like to see more energy in the press and a slightly higher line. These are shit and low on confidence, if we put their back four under more pressure they'll make mistakes. 

 

This looks a bit too passive at the moment. If we sit in and try and defend a one nil lead without much out ball we're inviting an equaliser.

Nacho up top on his own and another midfielder on.

Thing is he'll get a booking next time he "fouls" him.

Well again, if you push up Nacho, the problem stems from the lack of Madders, Perez and Praet.

May see us really up the tempo and pressing game in the final 20 minutes; a bit like the very obvious switch vs Liverpool (it wasn't all them self-imploding)

[StanSP]

Arsenal seem to be getting in to their stride now.
