Arsenal V West Ham - EPL- Tue 15th April- 19:45 KO

Anyways, massive game tonight.

It'll be tough trying to break them down really, can't see where we're going to get the goals from.

I don't really see what the point is your making, or indeed what point you seem to think i appear to be making?. Clearly we should have signed a DCM, the scary thing is if Flamini hadn't signed for us as a result of Arteta's injury we'd have had no-one else there.
I personally would have signed Diame rather than Bender but that's me.

Well this is why i think we need to take a risk, stop being conservative, stop playing Giroud up front on his own and stop playing Cazorla on the wing so we can accomodate Arteta in the centre.

Take the risk of playing Sanogo tonight, not up front but on the wing....terrible touch but amazing burst of pace and strength, and then do the same with Gnabry on the right. We are 5th as a result of beasting our top players week in week out and as a result of having no pace in the side, so playing it safe clearly hasn't worked...we have nothing to lose.

Arsenal:
Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Arteta, Rosicky, Kallstrom, Cazorla, Podolski, Giroud

West Ham:
Adrian, Reid, Tomkins, Jarvis, Armero, Carroll, Noble, Demel, Diame, Downing, Nocerino

Sigh....i think it's not hard to fathom why there is hardly anyone on this board who wants him to be the manager anymore.

Merse spot on: 'No pace in the team, no runs up front. I don't know what Podolski does'

:lol:

You don't need pace to make runs and it's no good having pace if you don't know how to use it.

Overmars :bow:

Pretty much.

Just a brain is required. Unfortunately for us our forwards don't even have that.

'WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT ?!?!??!??'

That Adam's goal :bow:
