Arsenal build up

[Exiled_red]

I think width is going to be important here, Arsenal play quite a narrow 3 in midfield with any width coming from the full backs. They're not the tallest but are quick so I'm not sure how suited Kyriakos will be to this game. I certainly play Riera to allow us to use the full width of the pitch, I'd like to see us with a couple of pacey attack minded players to hit them on the break but we don't seem to have them.

The other way to get a Arsenal is from set pieces but we scored from a corner at the weekend and I think two in a week would be a bit much

He's gonna be suspended.

He's gonna be suspended.

Are suspensions immediate now? I thought they used to take a week to come through (I can never keep up with changes to FA rules).

Worked for Chelsea, easily broke up Arsenal and frustrated them as they tried to pass the ball in to the net.

I think it will close to this, only question mark is Maxi for Riera. Maybe Rafa will go for Kuyt up top with Maxi, Riera and Gerrard behind though? Babel can come on for the last 20 or so.
