Arsenal (Away) Match

bobby benitez · 07-02-2010, 06:20 PM

Couldnt have asked for a better weekend results wise. Pity we dont have a week to gloat but we cant complain

.

I'd take a 0-0 right now and IMO Rafa and Wenger would too.

I'd play Degen right full and Babel up top, soak up the pressure and hit them on the counter.

Who would have taught 2 or 3 weeks ago that we would go to The Emirates confident of getting something

Come on Red Men.

I would'nt even have Babel on the bench. The reserves bench even

. Just don't see what Rafa see's in him tbh. He really needs to pull his socks up and earn his wages. I'd take a point againest the gooners right now but i've got a sneaky feeling Arsenal are there for the taking at the moment due to the lack of backbone in their squad.1-2 to the good guys

.

should play kuyt up front on his own,ngog is lackin in confidence all together,not gonna be easy,but if we dont waste chance like in the first game we should be ok

MutantNinjaSkrtel · 07-02-2010, 06:32 PM

We're due a win away to Arsenal.

Disagree, Kuyt has scored from the right sided role while doing a good shift for the team.
We lose something on the right if he's up front and against arsenal we need all avenues to close them down.
Also when he is up front he drops too deep to help the team meaning we have no avenues.
I dont think Ngogs been doing too badly up there myself.
While he may not be a massive scoring threat, he is doing his bit in winning balls and letting the midfield attacking trio come into the game.

i never said he was playing bad i just said he's lackin confidence,you seen that miss against bolton,he was sick,you could see he was a little down.when was the last time he scored?
and on wednesday if we waste chances were gonna be beaten
so my team and you may not agree would be
pepe
carra skrtel agger aurelio
aqua masch
maxi stevie reira
kuyt

Dzer2 · 07-02-2010, 07:31 PM

Think we need pace up front without Ngog we dont have it Chavs killed the gooners with pace in first half. Need to be tough in midfield dont see Aqua getting a game again as its fighting spirit we need now.

Come on Wednesday cant wait.

Didnt say you said or didnt say anything.
My point is that at the moment Kuyt is doing well from the right and id prefer him in that position Wednesday night.

fermoyred80 · 07-02-2010, 07:35 PM

Same team as Saturday but swap Riera for Maxi. He was poor on saturday and cant have any passengers on wednesday. Will be a tough game and id take a draw now

blackbetty69 · 07-02-2010, 07:40 PM

no i definitely dont think aqua should start in such an important game, he needs to get used to the pace of the english game first.. hes totally out of his depth at the moment imo. if we win this game, wer only 2 points behind the gooners like, big big game

barnestormer · 07-02-2010, 08:08 PM

had them 1st half @ anfield we know we can get the better of them now were not shipping easy goals!!!lets get at them,there after looseing 2 in a row lets make it 3 !!

Maverick · 07-02-2010, 09:40 PM

We have what it takes to beat Arsenal definately but they will be looking to bounce back and we cant let them.One game at a time lads.Come on Redmen!!Bobby Benitez keep working your magic

stevieg · 07-02-2010, 09:52 PM

Will be a tough game as they will be looking to bounce back from their 2 defeats and keep alive any hope they they feel they have of winning the PL.

We haven't beaten Arsenal (away) since 2000 when Titi Camara scored

Would like to see Riera start on the left in this game.

I wouldn't be too suprised to see 1 of Degen or Aurelio start wide in midfield in this game.

A win would be great and we will need to take any chances that come our way as you can be sure Arsenal will and if they score first we will be in trouble.

A draw would not be a bad result at all and another clean sheet would be good too.

Come on Redmen

TrueRed92 · 07-02-2010, 10:00 PM

i dont tink a draw is good enough... i no its arsenal but if we go there and play 4 a draw we will lose 2 or three nil.. the only way 2 beat arsenal is attack them...

My Ideal team to play against Arsenal would be
Reina
Degen Carra Agger Aurelio
Mascherano
Kuyt Aquilani Reira
Gerrard
Kuyt

agi · 07-02-2010, 10:24 PM

Arshavin has been having a stinker for them recently, hopefully he doesn't decide to turn it on against us again. A win here would be massive !

I am not being smart but you might want to edit your squad. The man can cover a lot of ground but we should still start with 11 men
