NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
We do have a team that could be good enough to get a result. We've added two players in Sanchez and Welbeck who can defend from the front. Especially with our counter-attacking potential now, we need to sit back (in particular, the fullbacks need to stay in our half) and only let Sanchez, Ozil, Welbeck get forward and hit them with long balls. The usual 'play our game and see what happens' approach plays right into their hands. It requires a bit of anti-football play. It requires a lot of discipline and it requires all our players understand that Chelsea are a better team than us so a point is a very good result.
So I'm giving us somewhere in the region of 0% chance of getting anything here. 4-1 home win.
Agree, esp with the fullbacks staying behind bit.Originally Posted by Syn
These big games require a bit of know how, a bit of anti football as you say and the manager has to drill that into the players.
if we play it smart and take our chances (Giroud missed a clear cut chance last season and Chelsea score a minute or so later) when they come.
You mean both teams drive the buses onto the pitch and stare at each other out the windows?
Agreed though, full backs have to stay in their own half, Flamini needs to not lunge face height into every challenge, Ches (if playing) needs to stay well clear of Costa's diving, hit them with more direct play and get their over-rated defenders chasing around.
It's going to be very hard to get a result, even if we play well and compete with them on the pitch. They have so many cheats who can swing a game.
Atkinson is the ref, he's the cunt that gave the gypos everything when we faced them down at their turd patch. Also reffed our 3-0 loss to Everton, plus two victories so he was 50/50 last year, or 100/0 against us when adjusted for his performance in the gypodrome.

What bus? We don't even know how to park a car.
This one is a write off for me.
If Ramires plays then you can guarentee he'll kick the shit out of every arsenal player and only get booked in the 94th minute. Dont know how he gets away with it but he does. We need to make sure Welbz, Ox and Sanchex run at Terry and Cahill because they cant handle pace.
The problem is at least one those three will be on the bench. Knowing Wenger, he would probably rest both of OX and Sanchez
somebody put something in my milk
I'm not sure the team believes it can get a result away at Chelsea, especially if we concede the first goal.
Syn has the right idea, we have the tools this time to hit them on the counter but we have to be very disciplined. There's no point going toe to toe with them because they're better than us in every department but that's what we'll probably do. They'll overrun the midfield and exploit the wide areas because no one in our midfield is going to double up with the fullback. Mourinho also knows Ozil is a pussy so he'll have a number done on him.
Sooner or later we've got to win one of these fucking games so hopefully there's a nice surprise in store.
