Jesus Christ, is it that difficult to understand why Toby's not playing. 2 games in 4 days, one an NLD for a player whose been out for months. He was eased back in the cup Vs Newport, no way he should be risked for a game where he's likely to be very busy.

Some of you people amaze me.

Streaming the match on my phone from a tent in Abel Tazman national park on the South Island, New Zealand. It's 1am and pelting with rain. Whilst my old man is sat in my seat at Wembley.

Looks like they are going 433 possibly, which against our 4231 could be very smart by Wenger, could mean Wilshere getting on the ball in between the lines and feeding Ozil and Mikhitaryan.

With a back 4 and our fb’s Pushed up that could be moidah...

If you play 4231 against scum, you must defend 44 or 45 (preferably 54) very tight or they will reverse ball you all day long from the edge of the box and easily get in behind and punish.

Bit too gung-ho from Poch for me.

If it works I'll suck him off though innit.

That's where Dier's versatility is vital, he can drop back to make a back three if necessary.

I'm pretty confident but the high press scares me against players like PEA but I think we will outscore them the boys seem pretty confident right now. We have had some hard games recently, test of the teams fitness.

Truth is we need to be a lot more clinical; especially when it comes to the big teams. We play well but given the number of chances we create, I don't think our conversion rate is quite good enough.

Really not feeling overly confident today, just fear Aubameyang - pisses me off they got him but he is serious talent and our back 4 was very shaky at Liverpool, yet we have gone with the same 4.

Just hope I am wrong as a win here today would be massive......

Please lads, put in a strong performance and lets hope its not as end to end as those 11 look like it could be as I fear for us if that happens.

We also know Mikhi likes scoring against us too :(

Prove me wrong lads... please!!

Do those people worrying about the team and how open it looms actually realise we played against Man Utd using the same personal and formation.
