Arsenal @ Home Build Up

That's a shame.



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.

Especially their midfield looks weak, we could overpower them there (especially if Adam doesn't start).

RVP will be though to handle, but Skrtel man marking him could go well I think, would have loved if Agger could play but that's life.

My main worry defensively right now is the form of Enrique and his habit of trying to block the man instead of going for the ball, could be dangerous against a very quick Walcott. He is not the best end product, but given enough chances he will produce something.

I quite like Walcott but Enrique has shown he can match him for pace and has had him is his back pocket before which I’m sure Walcott is fully aware of. Providing Enrique gets decent protecting from whoever plays ahead of him then I can’t see Walcott being too much of a problem if indeed he even plays.

Yeah I agree with all of that.

Midfield is where the game will be won or lost. On paper that Arsenal midfield looks ****e so we need to make sure that we take advantage.

Enrique does look off the boil and although Walcott is very fast, Enrique is no slouch either. Think that's where the danger will come from though, and it might be a bit of a blessing that Skrtel plays on the left hand side to help him out.

We'll be alright.

Wenger said RVP will be fit didn't mention Vermaelen

They are without
Ramsey
Djourou
Santos
Mertesaker

Not saying Enrique is slow, just that he is off form, and his way of block-defending can be dangerous against a quick player if it fails, and Enrique have let a few players past him lately.

Lot of times he is "letting" wingers to get a step on him and then he catches them up.

Almost feels like it is sprinting met and he wants to show them that he is faster then them.

Be a dangerous game to play against Walcott or Oxlade-Chamberlain

Disagree, he has been wrongly positioned a few times as of late and it would be very dangerous against someone as fast as Walcott, he won't catch him as easily as many others.

Hope he regains his form from the first half of the season soon.

Another thing he's been doing alot recently is trying to keep the ball in play in tight positions when faced with an opponent, and a few times he's kept the ball in and lost posession in our own half/defensive third
