Team v Arsenal (h)

[whitesocks]

With Rose coming back, I would be tempted to go with

Lloris
Toby, Jan, Davies
Walker, Dier, Wanyama, Rose,
Eriksen, Kane, Alli

but I guess, Poch will start with Davies and go

Llloris
Walker, Toby, Jan, Davies,
Dier, Wanyama,
Eriksen, Alli, Son,
Kane

Yes - the goons will be up for this - we can't let Wanyama be in the war on his own.
Dier would be a good deterrent in midfield - they really would not want to wind him up.
But they play 3 at the back and that seems to force teams to match the formation... so...

Llloris
Trippier, Walker, Toby, Jan, Davies,
Dier, Wanyama,
Eriksen, Alli
Kane

Walker can do a marking job on Sanchez.
If Dembele is fit - and he seems to recover quickly these days - or Rose, then they play.

If Koscielny is out then that's a massive blow and may make Arsene revert back to a flat four - hopefully anyway.

Where did you hear this?

 

[srups34]

On another note, any idea when we will know who the ref is for this game?

 

[dagraham]

Why is everyone on SC so obsessed with referees?

 

[Sp3akerboxxx]

It sounds like ridiculous reasoning, but I would leave Son on the bench just so that we actually have someone dangerous to bring on later in the game.

It's a very old Scum tactic to 'leak' a story about one of their star men being out throughout the run up to a big game only to wheel him out on the day. They used to do that with Fabregas & Nasri before every NLD!

 

[dimiSpur]

I know Arsenal are a poor team but I would still pick for 11 players for this one

Yes but are they as poor as your counting skills?

It gives me a hard on

Cheers Mate. Good appointment for such an important game.

I agree. If all things were equal I would settle for him being fit if it meant Dembele was fit for us.

Lloris
Trippier Tobes Verts Rose
Wanyama Dembele
Son Dele Erikssen
Kane

Subs: Vorm, Walker, Sissoko, Janssen, Dier, Davies, GKN

Walker and Dier were below par last night. Rose is back training with the first team, so should be fit. Son is on form, but not as defensive cover.

 

[danielneeds]

If Arsenal play the 3-4-3 we should 100% match them. If Rose is fit enough for 60 minutes, even better. They look awkward and shonky playing it, and although it's stemmed the goals they were conceding a bit, I think they are ripe for the picking if we match them up, similar to how we did against Chelsea.

 

[yusrisafri]

If Dembele isnt fit, then:-

........................Lloris.........................
........Toby.........Dier........Verts.........
Walker....Wanyama..Eriksen...Davies
....................Alli......Son.....................
..........................Kane........................

Why is everyone on SC so obsessed with referees?

Cos they're all bent and against us of course.

Of course. Silly of me to ask really.

Yeah they 10-2 play pretty badly without him, eh, eh?

 

[roslau]

Should start Sissoko and make Wenger think about
Hugo
Walker Toby Jan Davies
Dier wanyama
Sissoko Eriksen Dele
Kane
