Ill take a draw
Id like to believe. Im just saying a draw away from home would be decent and Id take it. Arsenal are not that bad and they turn up when we play at their place. We lost 2-0 away to them last year at this moment I would take a draw.Just discussing this with my cousin, and no fucking way would I take a draw. We're the better side, time to take that last step with our mentality.
Need to believe.

This is only ammunition for Arsenal to up their game!
I think we should just set up how we did against Dortmund in the CL when we beat them 2-1 away. I think that was a 4231 but we dealt with Aubameyang.Arse played a back 5 against Bournemouth and I think it was in preparation for this game.
Doesn't necessarily mean they'll be defensive - we've played that formation enough times these last few years and attack.
But if they have an extra man back there, then it will nullify Lloris booting it long to a front 2, which we've been doing a bit lately to good effect.
We know they will look to press us in possession at the back - they have some nippy strikers who will be fresh.
So... should we match up their formation and play a back 5?
I think there is a case to be made to play Foyth Alderweireld and vertonghen.
But Davies and Aurier do not provide much width as wing backs and both will be tired.
It is not a formula to win the game, but I'd settle for a draw anyway.
Don't think it's a big question at all. Dier has played every single big game for about 4 years and he will play every single one until Poch leaves.
