Guest chopey Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 This is genuinely the first game in ages that I'm looking forward to attending, I'm not even that bothered if we get beat, I just want us to give them a good game. Howay the lads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hasn't been mentioned so far and we all can only guess - till Penn will have had his say - but I could see Ben Arfa playing the role he played against Liverpool. We'll see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Tioté will replace Anita/HBA...Can't see any other changes. Unless Pards wants to kill us and start Shitola Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Is it bad i kinda hope we don't score first, cos then we'll just try and defend that lead rest of the game and it'll be awful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Sure Benny will be on the bench and we will go 5 midfield Remy alone Mouss--Cabs--Tiote--Anita--Gouff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 For the sake of fan belief and the noise I hope to god we score first, they do it will suck a lot of the life out of the crowd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I know, but as ever i'm starting to get nervous and believe we can get something, and I was telling myself today there were no expectations so anything would just be a bonus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Think it'll be the team that started at Old Trafford, with HBA on the bench. Walcott is the obvious danger but i think Santon will handle him OK, especially with support from Gouffran - he hasn't been in the best of form but you don't often see him getting skinned.

Mick Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I can't see us winning this as they'll have far too much movement for us unless we get at them from the off, I hope we try to take the game to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Unlike Spurs, Chelsea and Man Utd - I think Arsenal will have too much attacking guile for any stifling tactics to work. If that's our plan A, can see a similar game to the Everton first half or the Liverpool home game last season on the cards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Chelsea managed to stifle them well, but my god it was a painfully dull game to watch, plus they were the away team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hatem will be the difference I reckon, so if he doesn't play a part, I fear we'll get nothing. He's just the guy to tip the balance our way if we're in trouble Bit nervous now, still looking forward to it though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
