Even though it would be wise to approach this game in trembling fear and play a static 10-0-0, maybe we should just go for it and see what happens?

Marc Overmars
28-01-2014, 10:14 PM
Must win.

The wanker in the cap will probably make it difficult for us however we should win it with an auto-pilot 2-0.

Chamakh to score double IMO. He will show his physical prowess like he did in France few years ago.

the good news is Flamini can't play so we should at least want to try to score against the might of Palace. We need to score late on otherwise they may score from the numerous chances we will give them by defending too deep. 1-0 89 min.

Palace are a different team these days, solid and organised.

1-0, pubingly.

AFC Leveller
29-01-2014, 03:57 PM
teams have worked out how to lay against us it seems, press us really high and hit us on the counter. Everton, City, Dotmund and yesterday.

its worrying because we are about to play bayern, probably the best pressing side in the world.

Secretly I'm glad we have that many injuries in the middle... may be, just may be, WUMger will play players in their best positions.

Chezza

Sagna Per Kos Gibbs

Arteta

Ozil Santi

Gnabry Giroud Podolski

Subs: Flappy, Jenks, Bendy, Ox, Rosicky, TV5

Thats better than playing the shit system we played yesterday. We should be going all out attack in this game. Play players with pace on the wings. Sick of all these CAM's coming into each others place and tippy tapping for ages.

McNamara That Ghost...
29-01-2014, 05:58 PM

Was about to suggest that team too. Just play Santi in the middle with Ox wide instead of gambling on Ox playing in the middle.

We need pace on the wings and Ox/Gnabry/Podolski make perfect sense.

Rosicky back in the squad.

City just about managed to beat them 1-0 at the Etihad and Chelsea narrowly won at SB 2-1.

Need a win badly, esp with the game on Monday between the othet two and the chance for us to go back to the top of the league.

Could be any score really. If we turned up drugged again we'll probably pinch it 1-0. Or if we decide to go for it we could wallop them 2-0.

I think wenger is lucky that we have a home game first up after the end of the transfer window. we should win comfortably and all the issues of non strengthening temporarily forgotten.
2-0 no worries. at least we can go top again and one of Chelsea or city will drop points.

Gnarby shouldn't start and Rosicky must start.

Niall_Quinn
02-02-2014, 11:30 AM
There's a feeling of same old Arsenal going into this one. So a strong performance required here, some nice football rather than the laboured crap we saw against Southampton. At least we can't pick Frimpong to play as a holding player behind two other holding players. We might be forced to play a positive game in midfield today and about time too.

No excuses today. Our strongest line up at the moment. Time for Podolski to put in a shift and a half.

The Liverpool game just shows how tough this league is and you have to say we've done very well so far.

City's results are an abomination reflecting their ridiculous finances.

Come on you GOONERS

If we win the league this year would rank as AWs finest in my opinion.

Bring Rosicky on to speed things up. He'll get easy free-kicks and possibly some of their oafs sent off too.

Our biggest problem is Giroud, he never gets into the right positions. We seriously need a faster/smarter striker, who can get free of his marker and get into good positions, because we have plenty of people who will serve him the ball on a silverplater if he does, but he is so immobile that we're just trying to play around him instead.

Wenger complaining, is he really surprised a side battling relegation with limited resources is playing more defensively, does he expect them to come out and attack and lose by several goals?
Mourinho was whining his tits off about West Ham's tactics the other day.
Suprisingly, you didn't take his cock out of your mouth for long enough to pick him up on it.

We look short of ideas to me, there's no freshness about the team at the moment, too predictable, too slow and just no real sharpness anywhere. We've tried the old perfect passing move a few times, but that comes off once every 100 times so we can't rely on this to win us games.

Nothing performance from us so far. Lots of passing in midfield to no real end.
Got to show more up front.

Some perspective here. They were this good against Man city.

Podolski limitation are clear for all to see. He just can't link up well with the play and his strength is running behind and finishing.

Palace are just not playing and defending with eleven men. Unfortunately we had two good chances on goal that were both saved. Make no mistake in a game like this you need some luck to go in front and we haven't had that.

Truth be told this season our bedrock has been defence. The problems in attack still remain.

Looking at the bench hard to see where the game changers come from.

Have a feeling that the change will be Ox for Rosicky eventually.

Annoyed that Ox hasn't made any runs from the middle yet.

Ozil has been razor sharp with his passes and here is where we really miss the pace of Walcott.

Anyway can't help but get behind the team.

Come on you Gunners!

Yeah we do and a striker, we just try the eye of the needle passing moves all the times and they're not going to come off very often. I just haven't really understood our style of play for years, what's wrong with having width and forwards who score goals?

Pods, Ox, Santi all poor. Ozil playing it too safe all the time.

So, Santi off and Rosicky on :-)

With the lack of movement, I honestly don't know what Ozil can do. I remember wayyyy back when Bergkamp joined us, he just kept playing the ball into space until his teammates learned to run into those areas. But today - who is going to do that? It is all so pedestrian.

Totally agree.

I think Ozil has under performed.

But today he's played some excellent passes from hospital positions where he's received the ball.

He makes excellent passes that help keep possession on the final third and help open teams up but we just have no runners to play on the shoulder of their last defender.

It's a huge shame and that's why I really though we've cocked up this January having lost our one proper pacey player and not made a buy to change that and bring some pace into the side

Here are some stats to go with the half-time Bovril:

Arsenal have failed to score a first-half goal in seven of their last eight Premier League games.
The last player to score a first-half PL goal for Arsenal at the Emirates was Nicklas Bendtner versus Hull - two months ago.

As mentioned before our slow paced attack just doesn't suit Ozil's talents, stick him in a counter attacking team and he excels, he uses his pace and skills to drive at and beat players and then create chances for others. Stick him in a team like ours and all he can do is try and find some clever passes hoping his teammates make good runs until they get crowded out.
