Finn balor Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Sill high after last night but another game is on the horizon although they are the form team don't think arsenal are as good as people are making out. Midfield is definatelty the key here, we win that battle we win the game. Wenger rested a couple last night which is showing us respect but I would start gerry and get them on the back foot from the off. I'm going for 1-2 lukaku with the opener and Kev with the winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I think this might just be one game too far. The players coped well after the Liverpool came in coming down from a high but for them to do it twice in such a short space of time is going to be difficult to do mentally more than anything. I think it will be the same starting 11 although Pienaar looked knackered at the end last night so maybe Deulofeu in for him?

Romey 1878 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) I'm just glad we've got an extra day to prepare for this, last nights game will have taken a lot out of us; both physically and mentally.

Sibdane Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I won't be too distraught if we lose this one. Arsenal paid over 40 mil on one player and that entire squad is playing out of their skin (especially Ramsey) at the moment. I still think we can match them though. My head says this has draw written all over it. Quinn31 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Angel Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 If there's any team other than villa who have already done it, who can beat these with counter attack prowess, then it's the blue men... I think if we soak it up and break fast like we have been doing then we could have this one in the bag. There tippy tally out side the box gives us a good chance to expose them this way.

Guest Nikica Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I too am not convinced they're as good as advertised, although they're obviously a strong team in fantastic form. The latter part is what is important - form. It doesn't matter if they're playing above themselves because they're still attaining that level for now. Ramsey sort of embodies Arsenal as a whole - very talented, but you get the feeling he/they are playing above themselves and will start to simmer down and hit a difficult patch later in the season. I fancy you to get a draw, but you'll have to play very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjazzbassist Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 very tough match, but i think we're up to the task. barry and mccarthy versus their midfield will be interesting. i'm hoping for another upset and some swagger, but will be okay with a draw. i just don't want us taking a step back with a loss.

duncanmckenzieismagic Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 If you would have said at the start of the week that we would take 3 points out of the next 2 aways I think I would have been happy with that This will be a really big ask but the players should still be on a high and full of confidence so hoping for at least a point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kohen Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 We've showed this season we can break quite well (Unlike previous seasons)Arsenal back 4 really don't have any sort of protection from their midfielders. I think we'll have quite a few 3/4 on 2's and a couple of right decisions/balls and we'll get a goal. I do however think this one may be a little out of our reach and we'll record our 2nd loss of the season. Blue4Ever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 It's a tougher game than United but not as hard as City....certainly think we're capable of getting a point or even nicking it. Four points from these two games would be superb....six would be unbelievable. Quinn31 and Bailey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 I've predicted a loss. If there is a key Everton player for this game, it has to be Deulofeu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter H Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Key players imo are Howard, Jags and Distin. Probably Coleman, Oviedo, Barry and McCarthy too. This is going to be a tough one. Havent seen Arsenal this good since the Henry, Viera and Ljungberg days. We might just nick a point but I think we will get beaten by a couple of goals. 3-1?

Quinn31 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 I think we expected 0 to 1 points from the fixtures at OT and the Emirates, so if we nick a draw here, it'd be a great result and an incredible week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Our next run of games look very winnable so a drawer would be a great result to keep the momentum going but I really do fancy us tomorrow and I think playing Gerry from the off will give them a lot to think about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2i0 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Draw, Arsenal has a solid defense..if we beat them going to fully support Martinez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev627 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 If we keep our heads in this game the least we can expect is a draw but if Everton don't try anything rash we may even shock them with a late winner perhaps? COYB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rusty747 Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 The 4 games after Arsenal are all very winnable. A point at Arsenal, followed by those 4 wins would mean 40 points from 19 games. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badaids Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 My grandfather was born in the shadow of Highbury and loved Arsenal, so I've got a soft spot for them. Still, I hope we fucking win, but a loss wouldn't pain me as much as any other team. Also, just had the leave pass stamped by the missus so I'll be down the bar watching this for once watching it once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 (edited) I just want to see us play the same as we have with confidence and tempo and I will take whatever comes.

MikeO Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Unchanged....Flamini not starting is a surprise. Howard, Coleman, Oviedo, Distin, Jagielka, Barry, Barkley, Pienaar, McCarthy, Mirallas, Lukaku. Robles, Heitinga, Jelavic, Deulofeu, Naismith, Osman, Stones Szczesny, Jenkinson, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Gibbs, Arteta, Wilshere, Ramsey, Ozil, Cazorla, Giroud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeQuince Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Can't wait to tear their left and right backs apart today. If we can stop them in midfield, I feel quietly confident about today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
