Match 2: Arsenal (A)

Abs guide to football:

 

Fast players are awesome.

 

Not so fast players are shit.

 

By this reckoning, Ryan Babel is the greatest player of all time and Zidane was a donkey.

 

What are you, fucking 12? I bet everytime you buy a new FIFA you alter all your players stats so that they're pace is 99.

 

Also, are you agreeing to fuck off from here once we win on Saturday? You've avoided the question 3 times now you boring bastard.

[Jairzinho]

Running fast is pretty important if your team is incredibly tactically naive. Which Arsenal are.

[Abs]

Looked like a very raw version of Tiote.

 

You think he'll play much this year?

 

backup player. But with Song suspended and Diaby injured, he will play in the DM position

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Thats true, he's naive and positionally weak....but the upside is he has an amazing work rate. But I dont think there enough in a midfield with lucas and adam to expose him, they are very stationary and make passes early. Someone like Gerrard would be hard for him as he would drive in the space he leaves between defence and midfield and cause problems.

Firstly, it won't just be Lucas and Adam, it'll be Lucas, Adam; Downing, Kuyt and Suarez. If you'd watched us, you'd know how deep players like Suarez and Kuyt like to drop. If you've watched Downing and Enrique, you'll know they're capable of coming to occupy space there, too. Secondly, Lucas and Adam are not stationary. Only somebody who'd not seen those players play would call them stationary.

 

Even then, if Kenny felt this was a problem, we've got players like Aquilani and Meireles to offer that.

 

Im interested to see how attacking Liverpool will be for this one, I think we are not in the best shape and dont have a settled team enough. But we are also nowhere near as bad as some people in the media would make you believe. Truth is Liverpool is not that settled either with several new players bedding in

 

We looked pretty fucking settled in the first half against Sunderland! That's the most fluid I've seen us since we smacked Real Madrid 4-0.

[Unrighteous]

If we start the game, like we did against Sunderland... deep dicking.

 

If we don't? Likely a boring draw.

 

However, I think we'll be hungry for this one, after the let down against Sunderland.

never say that...but you seem to be the opposite and say pace and athleticism doesnt matter at all. How many Zidanes are out there? All I have said is Adams lack of pace and mobility is a problem when you dont have the ball......and we saw how comfortable Sunderland were on the ball second ha;f. if you dont think thats a problem at all.....we just have to see

[LFC 6 Times]

-------------------------Reina--------------------------

Kelly/Johnson---Carra-----Agger-----Enrique

------------------Lucas----Adam---------------

Downing----------Suarez----------Maxi

------------------Kuyt--------------------

 

Throw Carroll on last 30 to aerial bombard them. Maxi defo deserves a chance he was boss at the end of last season and has a fantastic understanding with suarez and kuyt

Please can you quote to where I specifically say that in that post?

 

Of course it matters. But you bang on about it every, single, godamn, boring as fuck, fucking, post.

 

You agreeing to leave if we win on Saturday then? I noticed you failed to answer it. Again.

 

You avoiding this question is getting almost as predictable as Arsenal plopping their kegs at the business end of the season.

[Whelan]

Frimpong!

 

Sounds like a fucking Big Brother contestant!

 

Let me guess, Black, athletic and a petulant little fuck? Shouldn't Abs be concentrating upon tonights match?

only if you agree to leave if you lose. how about the loser leaves this forum for good?

How about u fuck off now

I've made financial contributions to here in the past here. I've been able to get other members of the forums tickets for matches. I buy a fanzine every issue.

 

Oh, and I support Liverpool.

 

If you can match any of the 4, then Ok. But seeing you can't, the answer is no.

 

I don't see what your problem is in accepting it. You run your mouth about how good and fast and atheltic and fast and great passers and fast Arsenal are, compared to how shite and slow and fat and slow and negative and slow we are every chance you get.

 

Surely it's a home banker?

It should be, but the refs man...they hate us

[Reacher]

It should be, but the refs man...they hate us

 

Haha, that's actually quite good.

[Il Fenomeno]

It should be, but the refs man...they hate us

 

Are those the refs that, when Fabregas blatantly handballed in the box, didn't give us a penalty?

[Scott_M]

Great comback. Better than Istanbul that.

[sh#t waffle]

Frimpong!

That or a chain of dim sum restaurants.

[PaulMcC]

I don't fancy us. We look really unbalanced IMO. Midfield's too deep and Carroll's isolated. The defence looks shaky, with the exception of Enrique, too.

 

I'd drop Henderson and Flanagan, play 3 in the middle, 442 doesn't suit us at all.

 

They might have injuries but we were playing a poor Sunderland side who have signed loads of new players, and we struggled.

 

Arsenal will be better than them.

[Whelan]

I'd drop Flanagan and play Kelly, should be okay, maybe Raul instead of Adam?

[The Dude Abides]

I'd drop Flanagan and play Kelly, should be okay, maybe Raul instead of Adam?

 

I'd play Lucas, Adam and Raul in the middle personally. Lessens the workload on Adam who doesn't look capable of playing hard and fast for 90 minutes.

 

Then i'd have Kuyt and Downing out wide with Suarez up top.

[Unrighteous]

I'm sorry but why would anyone drop Adam? He was the only one with any ideas in the second half last match.

[a stoner]

This team will gel and I think they will gel well under Kenny but it is going to take a few games to get there. This game should have all the players up for it and when we win it will give them all alot of confidence.

Bring it on.

Yeah that is an option, I would certainly do that if we are going to take Suarez off, I think Caroll will start though.

[PaulMcC]

I'd play DOwning wiDe with Suarez coming from the right in a sort of free role. Carroll up front.

[The Special One]

Aren't there any decent Arsenal forums? Just saying.
