If we take the handbrake off could be 2-2 or 3-2 either way

If we sit back we will lose 2-0 after missing couple of chances

I was offered free tickets in the home seats for this.

Turned them down, the thought of sitting there surrounded by smug gooners while keeping my mouth shut.. Then the shit journey home.. No thanks..

I suppose you could say I'm not confident...

Moyesiah said we are not in a relegation struggle and are aiming for Europe again. He wasn't steaming drunk or on ketamine either?

The line up as below. So predictable and a losing set up giving Arsenal 60 - 70% possession until the last 15 mins of the game when we are 1 or 2 down. And of course, the stench that is Soucek in midfield because you need what is essentially another slow CB ( mobility and technique wise ) there to win the up and under's aerially and get an outstretched foot in now and then as he chases shadows.

Downes, Paqueta and Fornals, if he comes on, for Benny out of position. A CB pairing that will be "safe as houses" ( cough cough ) and easily handle the pacey Arsenal attackers and matched by the slow, ageing Cresswell versus Saka and Martenelli versus Coufal.

What could go wrong? What could go right?

The formation we rarely deviate from and suits no one 4-2-3-1 or 4-2-2-1-1 ..
====== Fab ====
Coufal === Kehrer === Dawson === Cresswell
====== Soucek ==== Rice
==Bowen ========= Benny
===== Downes or Paqueta
====== Antonio =====

Fornals to come on wide left for Benny out of position. Benny will be our biggest threat but of course make way.

Have I missed anything ? ;-)

Not all confident about this one. Arsenal are playing well and we’re not. As always, I live in hope, but I wouldn’t put any money on us.

Not looking forward to this at all.

Back to 3 keepers in the squad/injuries/not many fighters in the team/clueless manager who thinks we are going for a European place instead of being in a relegation battle. 3 or 4 nil to Arsenal.

Fab
Coufal = Kehrer = Dawson = Cresswell

Bowen ======= Benny

Yes, it's the fabled Christmas tree formation

The last time we played at the Emirates they sussed us out. We got roughed up in midfield The ref was very weak and compliant to the pressure put on him by the Arsenal dugout. I cant see any change to our attitude to be hopeful.

Re: ⚽ Arsenal v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview

Not sure this is even worth discussing. A more nailed on loss you'll struggle to find. I might even put a large bet on it. Hopeless fucking cunt Moyes, fuck off.

How broken is Scamacca then? Not that it matters. Who gives a shit anymore?

We will have less than 5 shots on goal. Set up the defend and stifle them. They will be missing Gabriel Jesus who makes a big impact up front but they can score goals from other places whereas we are struggling for anyone to score or get sight of goal.

Re: ⚽ Arsenal v West Ham - Official Match Thread - Preview

Cover ur eyes. Soucek, Dawson, Coufal, Cresswell and Antonio. Some of the best triers but worst footballers technically in the division.

We don’t press , we sit and hope for a counter with the busted flush 33 year old Antonio who can’t trap a bag of cement.

Fabianski the only keeper who cannot use his feet, the oldest squad in the division, lowest number of goals bar 1 or 2 other teams. Players out of position.

I’m surprised we’ve got the points we have ! That said a few of those home victories were very fortunate.

Moyes and Nevin, Nolan etc.. clueless on how to play any other way. But if ur team is tge worst at pressing and running no surprise.

Moyes and co should have been out on their collective ass before tge WC

Who cares, I won't be watching at that hour anyway, do we have any fit players?

When does the Euro's start?

What has changed from the our last game at Arsenal? So expect Martinelli to have another good game against us….at the very least.

The only club who have more injuries after the World Cup break than before it.
