I'm feeling positive. The Arse are nowhere near their best at the moment. Also I think this could be one of those seasons where we are better away from home than at the Lane.

Oh and there will be the now obligatory stat about we've had about ninety managers in the time Wenger has been in charge. Every fecking season for the last ten years that gets rolled out.


I agree we are set up better to play away from home and our main issues going forward are breaking down teams who park the bus at the lane but my big worry is our defence against their attack tomorrow .
I would play naughton at right back and verts and Kaboul CB and rose lb and give them some protection in midfield with stamboli capoue and one of benteleb/mason/dembele.
I know it's a bit defensive but if we keep it tight at the back arsenal are not great at the back either and we may nick a result

Our spine is as soft as a chocolate souffle, we'll collapse as soon as arsenal score.

But Im looking forward to see if there's any hint of the system coming on or if it's just more sideways passing Nd being clueless in the final third

I actually think that we should park the bus. Very unpopular but Mourinho proved million times that it can be affective.

I don't think we have the capabilities to park the bus unfortunately.

I dont care about losing.

I want to see us have a go and not collapse. We always look so scared of the top 4/5 that we've almost lost before kick off.

although unlikely when it comes to kickoff, I'm really trying to convince myself that I'm not gonna watch..I know...pussy...but just gonna relive the glory afterwards if we win or even scrape a draw ..Simply haven't felt this fearful before a NLD at their place for a long long time ..wish I was more positive.

I don't mind losing if we have some fight and don't resort to waving the white flag and being steamrollered.

if we lose with character and a bit of bottle then its at least something to take out of it.

need width and pace for this one.

That's at the heart of it - lose but show progress in our play/mentality and it's much more palatable.

There are lot of individual mistake in our team , this is a trait that hasn't changed at all from last season. I can see Arsenal fully capitalising on our mistakes.
In recent years, I used to convince myself we have some chance when we had some classy players.
Today, I can't find one reason to convince myself that we can win.

Can anyone that's been please give me some advice on the best way to get there coming from Waterloo or Liv St?

Greater Anglia service to Cheshunt or Enfield Town from Liv. Street - they both call at White Hart Lane.
