ShearMagic Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Can't drop Taylor from the starting line-up, he's been brilliant at RB. Plus, Beye probably wont be fit enough to start anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubaricho Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Harper STaylor Colo Bassong Enrique Raylor _____ Nolan ______ Jonas Owen Lovenkrands _ Martins We simply can't drop (S) Taylor for this one, there is no way Beye is match-fit at this point. Also, Owen will have to start and I'd love to see him in the hole behind two pacey strikers helping pull the defence apart creating some space for Owen to either 1) shoot or 2) create something. Nolan is a machine and can do the box-to-box and breaking up of the play. ® Taylor plays for his set-piece skill and Jonas will scare the fuck out of Eboue down our left (and Enrique is just plain better with Jonas in front of him).

SteveMc Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I reckon Arsenal will be confident as hell & we'll get destroyed. I have far less confidence in this game than i did the man united one. We rarely do that well against Arsenal, but do get the odd half decent result against united eveyr few years. That's s****. We certainly haven't lost against Arsenal at home in the league in the last 3 seasons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 This has loss written all over it. Praying we somehow come out of this with a draw. It's amazing that some people think we can get a win? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We certainly haven't lost against Arsenal at home in the league in the last 3 seasons You're right just checked. I was under the impression they usually took us apart, probably confusing them with liverpool. Still reckon they'll do us though. Just our luck that all these teams come into form just before we play them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Most we can hope for is 1 point from the next possible 6. Just hoping we don't get left behind and that other results go our way like yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

womblemaster Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 having watched arshavin score that fab goal on motd, its looking slim for us. Half the arsenal midfield is in my fantasy team; ie they pretty damn good! it would be 4 but walcott and fabregas were injured! CAnt see what amazing strategy hughton will employ to stiflle them. ITs all very painfull atmo! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeloEmre Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Should be: Harper Saylor - Colo - Bassong - Enrique Loven - Nolan - Guthrie - Jonas Owen - Martins Hughton will put out this team: Harper Saylor - Colo - Bassong - Enrique Geremi - Smith - Butt - Duff Ameobi - Owen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 GK - Harper RB - S.Taylor LB - Enrique CB - Bassong CB - Coloccini RM - Duff LM - Jonas CM - Nolan CM - If there's no Barton or Guthrie, any one from see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. CF - Owen CF - Martins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 beye's return is going to be huge lets hope he is back for this game because when he was in the back four we actually kept clean sheets!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Don't see why we can't get something from this. Probably the form of both teams. Much like our respective forms last season and the season before ect, yet we've always held our own at home against Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 I'd like to see: Harper Beye Colo Bassong Enrique Jonas Nolan Guthrie Duff Owen Martins I realise injuries / fitness might prevent us fielding that team but we need to get as close to it as we possibly can. Plus I can't understand why we persist in playing Jonas on the left. People bitch and whinge when he fails to produce any end product on the left but the bloke's right footed. On the odd occasion he's popped up on the right his crossing's been OK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Oh and if Beye's not fit enough to start, I'd play Ryan Taylor there. Steven's done a good enough job there but I think we need Ryan's dead ball expertise if possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Harper S Taylor Coloccini B-Unit Enrique R Taylor Nolan Jonas Duff Oba Love Subs: Owen Krul Geremi Smith Carroll Butt Shola We need legs in the centre of midfield to get near to Arsenal, thinking about Butt or Geremi in there against Arsenal's passing makes me want to curl up and die.

Tachikoma Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Does anyone _honestly_ see Owen and Martins working? Not once did they link up as a pair against Hull, and I'm not going to expect it to work against Arsenal. I'd love to see the 4-3-3 back, with Caroll in Viduka's role. Or perhaps Loven-Martins-Owen.

Guest toonlass Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 We need to get right behind the team, hope that they have the balls to not let Arsenal walk all over them and put in a half decent performance that we can be proud of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Darth Toon Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 We'll put in a spirited performance and lose narrowly. Similar thing against Chelsea. Then we'll go to Stoke and get outplayed and bullied to an easy defeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
