Dr Venkman Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 i'd take a point now. the thing that worries me is that we don't get men forward, especially if remy pulls wide no-one even attempts to fill the gap. cabaye gets forward when thre ball is in front of him, sissoko does from wide, as does gouffran but when we have the ball 30 to 35yds out there is rarely more than remy for the ball forward (like from anita's peach of a pass that lead to the pen against stoke). I do think you have to get men in and around the arsenal defence to rattle them, don't think we'll do it enough. Yep, this is a big problem and it hampered us loads against Stoke in the first half.

Ikon Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Perhaps this is what he's been preparing Haidara for.... Doubt he'll start him in a game such as this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Perhaps this is what he's been preparing Haidara for.... No but I'd say for next season probably. Santon could be on his way out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliemort Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I hope to fuck santon doesn't start. Hopefully Mbiwa start as Hardaria seems quite raw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Really up for this game now, the run we've been on makes this almost a free game, just hope we go out and give a good account of ourselves. We're capable of beating them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hope this isn't the 13-14 version of the 0-3 against Chelsea. Then again, didn't do too much harm then. Think we'll draw 1-1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Santon against Walcott will be important. Looking forward to it and hope we can get a result. Santon is extremely slow on the turn and will have no chance if Walcott gets him on a one-on-one. Time to put some faith in Haidara. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Even though i don't rate his end product, there's also Sagna who will bomb forward down our left. We need to press them as a unit, moving from one side to another. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Gouffy will need to graft his bullocks off today like. We cannot allow Santon to be exposed or he will get turned inside out, (yes i do think he will start). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 If pardew is in a hugely reactive mood he could replace santon with mapou who has played there before and he'd be more defensively solid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I think Santon will start and it will end up a case of closing the stable door after the Walcott has bolted, once he subs him for Mass Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 We're fearing the likes of Walcott, Giroud and co. - we've got Remy, Cabaye and Ben Arfa. And, most importantly, 52k on our side today. They should be fearing us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 So, how will Arsenal line up without Ramsey and maybe Özil? (if rumours are true) Sschzzsomething Sagna Mertesacker Vermaelen Gibbs Rosicky Arteta Walcott Cazorla Wilshere Podolski Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
