Arsenal vs scum 18/11 at 12.30pm

[Cripps]

Hope welbeck is back

We really need his intensity, energy and workrate in a game like this

[Cripps]

Aldeweirald out until new year

[AFC Leveller]

Really depends which Arsenal side turns up. If we let them play and dominate early on the crowd will start booing and wenger will have his excuse ready.

Can see ya winning, can see us losing, probably a draw.

[Marc Overmars]

Are we good enough to take the game to them though? We’re too negative in the big games a lot of the time. No idea how Ramsey and Xhaka will deal with the pressing game, if they don’t get a grasp on that early then this could be a disaster.

tbf we're too negative in the small games as well also. If we lack little bit sharpness because of the 12:30 KO, our expected goals might drop. If we lack little bit cutting edge in final third then perhaps also the referee is a disgrace.

Alan sugar made a good point on the debate show with morgan. He said teams that sit deep and defend cause spurs problems because they find it difficult to break them down. If we go out and try to play them at their own game they'll pick us apart. So maybe sitting deep and defending could be a good thing.

Have you seen us try to defend?

We played that way at White Hart Lane the last three seasons, it requires us to have midfielders capable of winning the ball deep and breaking or at least making space with a run....we don’t.

We will usually end up defending deep anyway because we are too shit to deal with the high press.

Our chances of getting anything from the game are dependent on Spurs not taking their chances.

Kane, Alli the Divebomber and Twinkboy are back in training today. Obviously.

So they may not be as generous as we hope.
