markjazzbassist Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Would be nice to string together another win after the FA cup victory. Same lineup for me with besic for barry due to suspension. Robles Coleman Jags Mori Baines McCarthy Besic Lennon Barkley Cleverley Lukaku Would like to see more of niasse and Gerry.

Keith B Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Would really enjoy hurting Arsenal's title chances. I really don't like those guys. Another effort like today will be needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwlad Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Just lost to Watford. Hopefully our form continues but I'll take a point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Just lost to Watford. Hopefully our form continues but I'll take a point. They've got to go to Barcelona on Wednesday and then an early KO Saturday. I wouldn't take a point, I think we could take them apart. chicagoblue, Chach, rubecula and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elston Gunnn Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 They've got a fixture pile up at the moment. I'm sure I only watched them the other night against Hull??? Their match with us next Saturday will be their 7th in 21 days, 3d in 7 days. They're down. The vibes favor us, but obviously no guarantee. Will we play with energy?

I wouldn't take a point, I think we could take them apart. Great point mike. Think they'll need to prioritize the premier league though and will field a rotated barca side. They need the auto CL spot if Wenger wants to keep his job I think. I expect a very feisty game, they will be up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagoblue Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Maybe carry the raucous Goodson crowd form the cup over into the league. They're in turmoil right now. Anything apart from a miraculous recovery by them at Barca and we should have too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 Miraculous recovery at Barca would shatter them, we'd roll them over easy . Ideal would be a dramatic comeback, then extra time, and finally losing 66-65 on penalties. MikeO, Matt and rubecula 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Arsenal tonight... Danny Murphy (though I don't think it's overly "under-strength" personally)... "If Arsene Wenger has had an eye on Everton in the Premier League on Saturday in his team selection, it is a very dangerous game. If Wenger sees this as putting out a weakened side, they could get annihilated. If they lose by 5-0, 6-0, it will be humiliating. Wenger is already under so much pressure. "You can understand leaving out Per Mertesacker who is not great on the turn and Theo Walcott has been off form. It is a little bit of a risk but you can't come to the Nou Camp, play an under-strength side and get away with it." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 He must have scripted half of that before the game. Mertsacker is too slow for Barca, so there's only 2 starters missing for me, Ramsay and Giroud/Walcott. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, they had their chances to make it much closer, but they don't have a decent striker in their squad (OK maybe they have a couple of decent ones but nobody top class). Wenger's blind/stubborn spot, with the money they have I just don't get it. rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been there, done that. How many times have we played well and didn't have a pot to piss in at the final whistle? I would need about ten thumbs to count that. I'm starting to look at this game a bit differently after this past season. I hope they are a bit fearful right now and that negativity becomes our advantage.

Guest rusty747 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 This game, imho, is all about the right mindset. It is also a much more important game than might at first appear to be the case. Win this and win our game in hand and we have caught Southampton in 7th. A win would create momentum and help to put an end to what has been a stop start run of matches. We need the players up for this, we need to be up for this and for those lucky enough to be there (I shall be in Dubai) please, please, please recreate the bear pit atmosphere from last week. Do all that and we can win well, again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't sack him, he doesn't deserve that after the service he's given. If he leaves it'll be "by mutual consent" or resignation in the Summer.
