Arsenal v Liverpool

[Kev0909]

You both got nothing better to do?

Slow day? Suppose it is snow day- depending where you live....

would be nice to stop spamming the forum with garbage and go back to talking about football lads, just saying

Fuck you all

You can't talk football with people who don't want to talk football. Look at that joke of a thread for pressing and counter pressing. You try and engage with him for one second on a football level and he runs off crying calling you a wum.

This is not a forum for football discussion. There are plenty out there for that. This is the kiddies forum.

"He’s cracking" for sure...

Not long now..

Is that the goal of a forumite? To gang up and drive others away? Can you point me to the rules for that?

[JockStrap]

Or read the Taxi for Slot thread. You think anyone in there wants a serious discussion about Slot

The entire forum is a shit show. By kids for kids.

Rumours that Ekitike won't play. Hamstring.

Crap.

Could be Slot playing mind games

it'll be fine, my sources say Messi is joining on loan and will be registred in time for arsenal so he'll start up front.

We already have a washed up right winger who has lost all his pace. Don't need another

…………….Alisson
Bradley Konate Virgil Robertson
…Szoboszlai Gravenberch…
Frimpong MacAllister Jones
……… Ekitike /Gakpo

Though I imagine Slot will play Wirtz instead of MacAllister if fit.

I think we’ll get mullered trying to play 4231 Slot ball against their fluid 4231/433 and press

Need to go direct when it’s on and often, going to be best using wide forwards for that

I think 4312 but with the two one going wide one coming in and not playing up against their fluid CBs, play a bit lopsided maybe Gakpo staying more wide and Ekitike taking up a more inside right forward position

Maybe both forwards taking wide positions to be hit or a run in behind connected

The ball backed up by a mid and/or full back that side

The forward opposite side to where it goes immediately making an outside in run when it’s going the other side

Keep them guessing with that 3 picking up different positions and movement throughout

If Ekitike isn’t fit play Szobo there and Macca RCM Jones LCM

Szobo will get hold of that ball and link and has pace to make runs in behind and the touch to bring it down

Transition to 3322 3313 with one full back staying one going or moving to where the mid was with them having moved forward

Alisson

Bradley Konate Van Dijk Robertson

Szoboslai Gravenberch Mac Allister

Get the win NO excuses

[miller0863]

We may well get mullered whatever system we play to be fair. They are way better than us right now.

We’re well capable of getting a draw. We have the players for that. Keep it tight - be clinical and we could win. But it’s not that likely.

Not sure how Slot plans to deploy his side. I can’t see him going as he did at Fulham. He will tinker.

Might end up fielding 3 RB’s across the game…

Much depends on Hugo. If he doesn’t play then that really does prove the lucky Arsenal moniker truth. We’d be without both strikers while Mo is also away at Afcon. This same jammy bunch faced Bayern recently with Diaz suspended.

Anyway…

I would play Wirtz as 19 suggests and hope for the best.

[Red October]

There is the slim possibility that players turn up as we know that we'll get hammered otherwise so there may be a sense of urgency that hasn't been there in other games.....could go either way really. If we concede an early goal you'd have to fear we'll crumble.

3-0 from corners/set pieces

Add a konate/VVD blunder or 2 from open play 5-0

[Steveo]

I often worry more about the so called "winnable" games.

We make a great underdog don't forget. Remember Real Madrid..? Everyone thought we'd get smashed.. Admittedly that was at Anfield but we destroyed them to be fair. That's the level this team can attain - IF - the players have the right mentality and are up for it they can match the Arse. It's going to have to come from them, 'cause I don't believe the head coach has the skills nor the remit.

BUT based on the evidence of this season and the back end of last... it looks like a grim outing.

That's the spirit. I'm sure it will be all Slot's fault no matter what happens. Him and Wirtz obviously.
