Arsenal match thread

Id have Babel on for Kuyt and on the left, Gerrard out right and Voronin up front with Torres for 10 minutes to see how he goes

[Morph]

In fact if he was fit enough i'd bring arbeloa on

Reina
Finnan Cara Hyypia Arbeloa
Benayoun Mascher Alonso Riise
-----------Gerrard
------------Crouch

Riise looks dodgy in defense but not too bad in possesion further up the pitch, i get the feeling if we get caught out it'll be down that side

I hope Crouch ceases the moment.

Torres must come off, he is like the walking wounded out there.

Crouch & Babel as a front 2 would be nice with Yossi on the wing too.

The way Arse was passing it around us like we were training ground cones was worrying. The first 10 mins we closed everything down but then just stood off them.

Going to have to work our socks off in the 2nd half but we can do this.

Seizes mate

Seizes mate

he meant ceases like finishes the game off

Agree with Redders, probably need a second to win it.

[Jayesh87]

Everytime Arsenal attack we look so shaky at the back. We will need a 2nd to win this imo. Not sure i can take 45 mins of attack v defense!

[PaulLinehan]

i reckon keep gerrard alonso and mascherano in a tight midfield - babel on the left, bennayoun on the right and crouch up front on his own - we´ll keep the ball better but also be able to counter with babels pace

clichy and sagna are going to go further and further forward during the second half and i dont think kuyt and the crow are the guys to make the most of it......

come on redmen

[CharlieMansonsSquint]

he meant ceases like finishes the game off

[glynner]

I think we absolutely need a second goal

If Crouch is coming on, we need someone to provide decent balls into the box - hoepfully Yossi gets to see some action soon

[Red_Polo]

Yeah get Kuyt off. Rubbish.

That's the agenda talking, Niall. Kuyt has been better than Torres and no worse than Voronin.

Don't like this system one bit though.

[Morph]

The Torres situation worries me a bit as well, the thing is tho he's not played a competetive match for about 3 weeks has he, so he must be off the pace but he doesn't look like he's over the injury and that's a poor decision to play him if he's not

[thesilverfoxlfc]

Babel on to add pace, Kuyt off within 10 mins of the second half
