Arsenal away.. Tuesday. Pre-Match

Recommended Posts

Do you see yourself as some kind of attendance mafia kingpin or something? Every week you're on here claiming people who don't go to as many games as you aren't entitled to an opinion.

Absolutely this... Well put my friend!!

Can discuss further at the Emirates if you want

Oh wait forgot you don't actually go to any of the games yet feel qualified enough to make kuntish comments

Is Kuntish your middle name?

Ulloa is the only man that can hold the ball up, he's got to start.

I'd start Matt Upson if he's match fit.

 

Only because we constantly play hoof ball.  Nothing comes from him holding up.  Several times today he tried to hold the ball up and win a foul by leaning back into the defender but all that came from it was he would commit a foul or the ball would ping off of his toe.  Wasteful.

 

Hopefully we will get more space to knock the ball around and make some runs that don't end up being knocked back to the keeper.

 

I think we will end up with a point from this game.

Ulloa cannot hold the ball up to save his life. Watch a tape of the palace game and you'll see a striker who can't hold the ball up, struggles to control the ball and gets bullied by the opposition centre half.

Indeed, seems to need 3 touches just to get the ball under control.

 

People saying play Nugent

.He is absolute crap every game he starts.

Sub yes but to start him? Really?

 

We've had two transfer windows and haven't brought in a better player for his position, same with Konchesky, braindead decisions like these will see us go down.

Needed optimism.. 1 - 1

RDL + Schlupp because we'll need a lot of pace going back and forward on the counter, especially if Sanchez is back.

 

I'd find it hard to argue with this - might go Hammond in for Nugent and stick Cambiasso in the centre of the 3 in a 4-2-3-1, I think freeing him up from defensive duties and getting his vision up in front of their defence would have potential, but that line-up would be about right.

If

 

If we can keep our heads and clear crosses   
    When crosses are raining in on us,   
If we can trust ourselves on the ball,
    even when we are being closed down;   
If we can wait and play a smart one-two,
    instead of hoofing it out of play,
If we make mistakes, don’t give way to hating,
    save the hating, for Dennis Wise:

If we can dream—and not make dreams our master;   
    If we can lift our heads, and shoot and aim;   
If Wes can avoid an own goal Disaster
    And we impose ourselves and play our own game;   
If we can control the midfield and break with pace
    And in the box we keep our cool,
If we tackle fairly, and close down quick,
    And always stay within the rules:

If we give our all to come out winning
    And risk it on one Albrighton cross,
If we play with passion and honest effort
    Even if the TV pundits don't give a toss;
If Was can smash through opposition legs and sinew
    If Krama can turn and spot Mahrez's run,   
If we hold on to the ball when nothing's on around you
    If we defend stoutly and scream ‘Man on!’

If we can cheer in the crowd and keep shouting,   
    And not boo King—even if he makes a bad touch,
If neither Welbeck, or Sanchez or Ozil or Giroud can hurt us,
    If we put power on shots, but not too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ of a Vardy run,   
If we can score 10 goals, and concede none ....



We'll lose 11-10, after 11 handball penalties in stoppage time, because Mike Jones is a cnut.

3 in midfield is a must for me. Lone striker being Ulloa? Kram? Nugent?

Hammond and Cambiasso defensive and James a bit further forward.

I'm not sure if Huth will start.

 

 

EDIT: Just realised Mike Jones is reffing it. Formation shouldn't matter then when the ref views every part of the human anatomy as a hand

If we are going to use Huth then now wouldn't be a bad time considering the expectation is to lose. If Huth plays well then great, if not then Wes gets a rest and we probably would have lost anyway.

 

If we play 4-4-2 (4-4-1-1 if you like) then I think Nugent has to play. Otherwise we'll have another Man U where we simply don't get the ball forward. If Nige wants to gamble with alternate tactics such as 3-5-2, then this is possibly the game to do that.
