Big win for Stoke 2.0 arsenal tonight.
Saints away after that, as well. I'm dreading everything at the moment.I did not realise Chelsea have managed to get to 2nd. I’m not looking forward to the weekend
Start pushing them first.It has tripped Arsenal up in a few games though.
They had zero creativity and just played for set pieces but Bournemouth and Newcastle dealt with it well and they ended up failing to score.
Eventually a team will figure out the best method to defend it and Arsenal will have to adapt again.
That's football.
Yeah there's a couple of things I thought of. Requires immense concentration too.Start pushing them first.
If their management team have any sense they’ll keep him in post until Saturday looking at our track record, sh!t or bust for Martin surelyI hope Russell Martin is still Saints coach on Dec 15th because that game against them will be insane for all sorts of reasons.
But seriously, he needs to be sacked.
Get the VHS out and tell everyone what to do, it ain’t exactly rocket science and that’s what is so annoying.It has tripped Arsenal up in a few games though.

Don’t know why teams don’t just man mark them instead of continuing zonal marking.Yeah there's a couple of things I thought of. Requires immense concentration too.
The only issue with your method is you know Arteta is telling his players to dive.
Stupid I agree but a red card for pulling someone’s hair!!!! Come on what is this, Primary School? I’d be embarrassed if I was the referee.Stephens took a proper tug at Cucurella's hair there.
He's getting sent off for that. Daft as fuck.
Arsenal get away with their corner dark arts.... and the Chavs get away with having two full starting 11s plus squad players of a high quality on 11 year contracts (transfer dark arts) ... one team for the league and one for the cup/midweek games.The Goons and Chavs right in the thick of it feels like we're being cut adrift into mid-table with the other also rans.
Watching that lot down the road celebrate turns your stomachanything but them their dark arts deserve to flounder
it does.
It’s all about the ball in which is consistently excellent. The ball is aimed for a specific spot so the task is to prevent their players getting there. The best way to do that is to man mark them in an attempt to block there run. Standing like statues in zonal marking just allows them to run past you from your blind side leaving you chasing shadows.Set Piece FC are ridiculously good at set pieces. How the fuck can you defend these? It's crazy.
Corner FC.
Terrorist football.
Fuck Arsenal.
Play to your strengths. That's what they're best at and it gets them results more often than not.
The issue being that the defender going in too hard could cause a penalty, while the the worst case for the attacker is a freekick 100 yards from his goal...If u can't beat them then join them on the 6 man back post and barge through everyone
