Arsenal vs Liverpool - Premier League, 9th October @ 4:30pm

Make or break then. Lets do this. 

[lfc003]

Same 11 as last night for me.  

[Tommok]

Yeah I'd be happy with the same line up and similar tactics.

Hopefully Trent stays more on the right rather than drifting inside too much - that worked well on Tuesday and didn't stifle his involvement in our attacks.

Martinelli will be a threat on the break and will exploit any gaps left. 

Hendo and others were great at filling in when Trent pushed forward hopefully more of that again - the shape looked better.

play good, win at football

[muleskinner]

Chris Sutton has gone 4-1 to them.

[Jay M]

4-5 days ago we’d have probably feared that.

I still do... Rangers were an awful team and can't gauge any improvements from that game because of that.. Arsenal are full of confidence and playing great football.

I think we will get beat 

 

[Benzo-13]

I’d try Elliot as a 10 here and I dunno whether Jota or Nunez not both.

If Bobby plays I think we are f***ed. He’s scoring but playing bad.

[muleskinner]

Jota behind Nunez again.

[Falconhoof]

3-1 to them, hope it isn't but thats probably where we are.

[jimbolala]

Elliot doesn't do enough to cover Trent so I would rather we kept the same line up. At some point we could even score from open play haha. I think it will be a tight enough game, Arsenal are good defensively but won't sit back like Rangers back 10 did

[PaulMcC186]

None of the centre forwards are playing well enough for me to care who starts out of them.

Yeah, Bobby offering zero press at the moment

Honestly wouldn't surprise me to see us get smashed badly by them and City. However a positive result and performance again them sets us up to have a better go at City. Enter the City game off a bad result and performance and I'd be proper worried.

[cymrococh]

When was the last time we lost to these jokers?

[Hassony]

As long as Gomez doesn't start, and we have Thiago and Hendo playing,  we're not losing this 

At worst it'll be a draw, but I think we'll win

Couple of years back in the extended covid season wasn't it?

After we'd already won the league? I think we battered them for a while then Van Dijk and maybe Allison made bad mistakes.

[Jarg Armani]

I would accept a good performance, am not expecting to get out of there with any points. We have been so poor it is likely going to be baby steps to get back to a decent level.

[muleskinner]

Arthur is injured so he won't be involved

If we're focused in the first 15 mins and they're pressing, we could score on the counter. 

We'll need to start the three best centre mids and then make a decision about the front three;  the usual will just leave that central zone between midfield and attack vacant again and allow Arsenal to dictate possession, unless the fullbacks press more like City's and allow two of the three midfielders to push up ten yards and shut things down early 

We can easily win this, we might get spanked but I think it'll be closer than what some are dreading 

[muleskinner]

This is not a vintage Arsenal side despite their position, they are just as worried about us.

we need that fourth experienced forward to do it now so either him or Jota, they’re interchangeable in that deeper position now imo.  
 

We f***ed up the midfield in the summer so have to create a diamond that does what the three used to do
