Arsenal (A) Build up

[-V-]

Gutted, Djourou is injured

[Mostar]

Think I'd be physically sick if we lose to these, they look so poor.

Suppose you cant rule out a big performance from them, we've seen plenty from us over the years where we've pulled one out despite missing players (like without Torres and Gerrard v Man Utd) but dont think they have the mentality or home support for that.

They look like they're on the verge of a meltdown, **** knows how theyve got in to this situation, its not like they have a Hicks and Gillett there. Hopefully we land the knockout blow but it'd be just our style to give them a short term boost and then Man Utd hammer them the next week in the way we should have.

They were just awful to watch yesterday.

Their beautiful to watch passing is the thing of the past.

Lucky for them they scored from their first half chance cause until 86th minute they didn't create another goal scoring opportunity.

They have holes everywhere.

Szczesny doesn't ooze any confidence, Gibbs is half of a player Clichy used to be for them, Koscielny is a weak link at the back, Rosicky and Ramsey cannot dominate midfield, etc.

RVP is the only goal threat they have and if Nasri and Wilshire don't play I cannot see how they could hurt us.

[Pablo]

I seriously doubt Nasri will play after all that's gone on. Can see him being "injured" again.

[Reece]

There really hasn't been a better time to play them for many a year. Really looking forward to this, and think Suarez and Carroll can cause their defence all sorts of problems.

Gutted, Djourou is injured

Why? Last season I thought he came on a great deal and looked like he might become a really good defender.

[Alex]

Djourou had been excellent for them last year. Its a good thing he is injured.

[billy_mac]

We'll not get a better chance to turn them over. Udinese made enough chances last night to give me confidence we'll get the same opportunities. Its a big pitch, hopefully our fitness has improved over the week.

[SB]

I can't believe they didn't bring Arshavin on.

[dww]

I can't believe they didn't bring Arshavin on.

Not sure he was what they needed with two defensive injuries.

I think there is a danger that people are under estimating Arsenal at the minute. While they are substantially weakened they are still a good team with some very dangerous players.

i too don't think it'll be a walk in the park

granted....it's great that they appear to be falling apart right before we play the,....but that worries me a little - they've become a bit of a wounded animal backed into a corner and the situation may mean they all come toegehter and work their bollocks off

I think I'll put some dosh on an Arsenal win, that should do the trick

Martin Kelly & Dirk Kuyt both pushing for recall for Saturday's trip to Arsenal.

[JohnDoe]

I thought this was a case where the team picks itself, but people have posted different lineups, so maybe not then

Pepe
Kelly Carra Agger Enrique
Kuyt Adam Lucas Downing
Suarez Carroll

Johnson at RB if fit.

That will/should be the team.

[The_weatherman]

Excellent, I think there will be much pressure on the fullbacks in this game.

[PTP]

Yup surely kelly and kuyt to start however personally i'd still be tempted to drop carroll for meireles, as i think it will help us control the game and keep possession, and carroll would have more of an impact coming on from the bench.
