    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:D. 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 :).

    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.

    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.

    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

    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 :eek:

    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

    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 :D
