    Game plan V Man Utd is easy. Wenger should play for a draw and wait for Van Gaal to be a fucking weirdo and hand us 3 points.

    He SHOULD. But what about when Wenger tries to be even weirder?

    I wonder does the Leicester game mark a change in his thinking? For once, bar the silly subs which we have kind of come to accept, he picked the right team and played the right tactics, almost as if he'd studied the opponent beforehand. Or another false dawn to add to the long, long list of false dawns?

    But you are right, surely we have a chance because their manager may well be more fucked up than our manager.

    Didn't see the game or even remember we were playing till a friend of mine posted a pic at the game......she's a Leicester fan. Wasn't expecting the scoreline but delighted to see it. It's the sort of goal return we should be getting way more often and I've generally been less worried about Sanchez than a lot of the bloggers as he has been close to scoring in every game he has played.

    Up the Arse!

    Question: For the United game do we bring back Gabriel or stick with Merts?. Me i would bring Gabriel. his greater speed and aggression will be needed against Martial, Memphis and Rooney

    I didn't watch the whole match but I liked the speed of our attacks. I love watching those quick, fluid counter attacks.

    I'm happy for Alexis, he really needed to get off the mark and hopefully the floodgates will open now. I agree with Blink that it has been coming, but it's always in the back of your mind until you actually put one in. His third goal was stunning.

    Theo was a constant threat. Really impressive performance and he took his goal well. And I like how his movement opens up space for Alexis and Ozil. Ozil and Santi look like they are enjoying playing with two quick runners in front of them.

    The worrying part was how easily they opened us up. Leicester are a good attacking team but we gave them far too much space. I'm not comfortable with Arteta and Cazorla being together in CM, they're both snails and let people go past them too easily. Maybe it's time to give Ramsey a chance in CM, if only to inject a bit of energy in the middle?

    Same here. I think they will only resort to hoof-ball if they are taking a beating, and Merts in that situation would be a better bet. As a starter, and at home I would go with Gabs. This is the benefit of having more than two good players in defence, means we can chop and change to suit who we are playing. More speed and aggression for Rooney, Martial, as you say is a must. But as we know Wenger dont set up a team to face a certain opponent, he will start with Merts!

    Me too. I don't rate United nowhere near as much as I use to but they are still a very good side. They are solid-ish at the back and in Midfield but pretty lethal going forward, especially on the counter attack. I think Gabriel has to come back for this one because the likes of Martial, Memphis and Rooney will tear Merts apart on the counter.

    It's a massive game for us next week, I think the result will define our season.

    ...I dunno, Gabs can be a bit shirty at times....and Lord knows Manure have been known to take a few tumbles against us.

    I'm happy with either.

    It's nice to have quality depth.
    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.

    So, we can chalk this up as a loss then..
    Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
