Arsenal @ Home Build Up

[Mostar]

Gibbs will find it hard with Kuyt and Downing interchanging.
Not much fight in their midfield other than Song and he will be busy with Suarez.
RVP is a brilliant player but Gervinho is a ****house. IMO this will be a much harder game for them then the Spurs game.

Bring them on!!!!

I think it will be much tougher to get a win on Saturday.

They do have few pacey and creative players in addition to RVP that can really hurt us.

Agger and Stevie missing are big holes to fill in and Carra defensively and Downing and Adam offensively will need to step up to provide service to Carroll and Suarez.

You guys must go watch the Hendo/Ox vid challenge on the offal here to see the skills these youngsters have!

[Mostar]

Keepy-Uppys don't really impress me personally.

I'd like it more to see Hendo sucks in them but do well on the pitch where it matters.

[baitman]

even though we might loose the keepy uppy king, can we swap hendo for the ox.

I dunno, the Brighton player's keepy-uppy before putting into his own net was pretty impressive.

[Mostar]

He was, wasn't he

Cut the guy some slack he is only 21... Remember Lucas at 21?
Anyway keepy uppys with a tennis ball are not easy at all FYI.

Keepy uppy is nothing special FYI and I can show you few tricks if you are interested.

There are many "street" footballers that would blow him and Chamberlain out of water in those juggling tricks and yet they are ****ty players and none of them are good enough to be professional footballers.

If you like that stuff find the video of his keepy-uppy while he was with Sunderland few years back cause he battled and lost from the lad that I don't think is even playing for their reserves.

I do remember Lucas at 21 and I don't think we can compare them nor expect the same turnaround.

[Liverpel]

"I've got great respect for Pearcey. He played for me at Newcastle and is a good, honest fella," said Dalglish, who is awaiting the results of a scan Gerrard underwent on Thursday. "He thought he was ready to play, and I'm sure he had a conversation with Steven and asked him, and between them they probably thought it was the right decision to make. Steven could have been back here, not involved [with England] and got injured in training. We had no agreement with England. It was just a case of 'look after him', as I'm sure they do all their international players. Don't forget if players come back injured they [the Football Association] have to pay their wages. We might leave them all out and get a few quid!".

He certainly terrorised a few passing pigeons on Sunday.

Nick Parrott @NickParrottTV

#Arsenal's Thomas #Vermaelen has an ankle problem which makes him doubtful for #Liverpool game tomorrow.

[Lee]

Good news for us.

Even better if Mertesaker comes in.

[Chazza]

Mertesaker is out for a while

[Chazza]

Still expect Vermaelen to play

Maybe something like

Chesney

Sagna
Koscielny
Vermaelen
Gibbs

Song
Arteta
Rosicky

Gervinho
RVP
Walcott

That's a shame.

Sagna

Song

Gervinho
RVP
Walcott

I'm a bit worried about tomorrow but when you look at that team then we should be fine. They've two threats in RVP and the pace of Walcott - if we can contain those two then we should be okay.
