Friday Night Lights - Arsenal (A)

Not open for further replies.
The Ox rested for Mane, and thats probably the team in my opinion. Coutinho moved back into midfield.
Maybe we'll see the 4-2-2-2

Ming
Gomez Lovren Klavan Robbo
Gini Hendo
Coutinho Mane
Salah Firmino

Oxlade doesnt deserve to be rested but I think its the right call away to Arsenal.

That would be my team too. Definitely need to keep 2 players "sitting" in midfield and Gini is a bit more disciplined and less likely to do something stupid than Can. Hendo starts for sure.
 
Arsenal have a lot to prove after the mauling we gave them last time.

Draw would be a good result, a win of any sort would be great,
 
I'd play Can, Gini, Coutinho, Mane, Salah and Bobby and some defenders (Gomez a definite starter for me) and a keeper.
 
We have 5 days before this game. They even found time for an X'mas party so I don't see the need for a rest.

Fab 4 + Can/Hendo and the same back 4 should do them.
 
We must be in Arsenal's heads now after their recent bad results against us – so I hope Klopp doesn't overthink this and goes right for the jugular with his strongest team and leaves it to Wenger to try to "surprise" the opposition coach by a genius tactical move of starting Welbeck in place of Lacazette.

It will be really interesting to see what sort of team plays tonight for them. There will be uproar if they rotate too much and lose - which would be great to see.
 
If we run riot then I will struggle to sit on my hands and avoid outing myself to the gooners around me.
 
I hate being too confident, but I see us mullering them. Wenger isn't going to sit back and pack the defence, so it will be down to who has the attack that is capable of absolutely ripping the other team into a ragged mess. I believe that is us. Kinda tempted by the idea of playing O-C, and the front 3 who started against Bournemouth, but hard not to be wooed by the thought of Mane, Coutinho, Firmino and Salah.
 
In my mind I keep seeing a scene where Salah sets up Mane for a tap in in the first 10 minutes and Mane turns back into a scoring demon. All it needs is someone to set him up selflessly for a goal and he'll be back to normal.
 
It would be pretty sexy if O-C scored a couple, and ran all over the top of Wilshere in the process. Just to get a bit of whinging from the Gooners.

Yeah. Arse&Finger won't park the bus at home, he'll take us on. And we'll pick em off. If we pick the right team, we'll have em.
 
One thing maybe worth discussing, I know we need a squad but, if Matip was vapourised by aliens, would anyone notice?
 
Anyway, I don't like this negative stereotyping of aliens. Vaporising and whatnot. Presumably with a 'ray gun'? I think they're generally good spuds and don't deserve the negative and mocking, derisory press.

You clearly need to watch War of the Worlds again. Preferably with Jeff Lyne's awesome soundtrack playing full blast in the background.

I want us to win this game - but a draw would be enough to maintain our position - to be honest I think they will come at us very strong and will be up for this game - we have given them a good beating in the last three games we have had against them. I fear for us badly but also hope we don't become stiff because of the occasion and really give them a good beating. Realistically this game could go either way.

Studge did that in Europe didn't fix the problem
