Arsenal vs Newcastle United - 12/03/12 @ 8pm (live on Sky) - pre-match thread


Recommended Posts

Have to say I like the team we are putting out tonight. Obertan gets plenty of stick but he's still a much better footballer ability wise than Ryan Taylor. I think we can live with these tonight with HBA in there as well.

Listening to Pardew it sounds more like a 4-2-3-1.

 

Hm. Idea was bandied around earlier. Feared we would abandon our shape and succumb to a 4-5-1. Hope we can keep some early possession.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE!

 

Other than 4-4-2 we've only played 4-2-3-1 this season, expecting that.

 

Edit - forgot the games where HBA was off the striker, dont think it'll be that!

Sounds like 4-3-3 matching up Arsenal, from Pards himself right now.

 

Really?

 

I think its more that he thinks Arsenal are going with a wide 433.

 

Cant see Obertan being one of a front 3 nor a middle 3.

 

451.

Are we a 'big team' this season? We need some more crackers with other big sides this season if so. Something in the 8-2, 6-1, 5-3 category.. but with us coming out on top :)

 

Nah fuck that. 0-0 or a repeat of last year would be ideal.

Listening to streaming 5 Live in a hotel room in Fort William.  Game is on downstairs but I can't be fucked to move tbh.  Will 5 Live go off when the game starts due to copyright reasons (in the style of Radio Newcastle on the internet), or am I safe to just stay exactly where I am..?

 

Should be 'reet.

Scored 18 in their last four home games. We've conceded 11 in our last four away games.

 

Clueless? I wouldn't say that. The game might not go that way, but it's not a ludicrous suggestion by any means.

Really hope the are still suffering from their Champions League exit both physically and mentally.

 

Davies was saying on the Tuesday Club they were fucked in the 2nd half of that game but it'd still be a longshot. Been a few days.

 

Just need to keep it tight, play for the restarts and keep the ball well early doors, take the sting out of the game and then take it from there. Given their form they're likely to come out flying and the crowd will be up.
