He's right on some things, but it's going to be very hard to have the lion share of possession against Arsenal.

I think huddlestone will be a big miss against Arsenal and Modric will be key to our ability to get something out of the match.

Counter attack is key against them. Soakup the pressure, let them have the ball in areas that they can't hurt us, then press them in packs, win it and break quickly via the flanks. Sounds easy...

I'm with leGin! Bring him back!

im sure i recall an interview with him a few years ago that he would love to be manager here, now obviously thats not gonna happen, nor would i want it too, but would love it in a keegan style way if he was made part of the coaching team like les and tim, there's a ton lennon and bale could learn from him, well actually all the midfielders and strikers

See, despite his falmboyant streak, I actually think that the arrogance he has about him would aide him as a manager. There's something a little bit Mourinho about his personality.

Yes we will attack; but the question is can we score? We can't defend either.

I hope we show a damn sight more than we did at Manu.
The last 4 times we went to the theatre of cheats in the cup and league we really let ourselves down.
I hope we don't begin the game with an already defeated attitude.
We are better off attacking them.

Are you mad?

We're the worst team at soaking up pressure in the world.

We're so much better when we press high and Arsenal hate that.

but we'll play 4-5-1 and shit the bed.....

I think we'll have to play on the break if we want anything out of this one. We'll have to stay compact, draw them in and then hit them with a sucker punch or three. I expect they'll have two thirds of the possession and we will need Gomes and our central defenders to be in top form. I really worry about a lack of protection from our midfield.

I'm not so sure, he had tremendous talent but it was the sort that cannot be taught, it was God given. He may have other knowledge to pass on but has he done any form of coaching at any level at all yet?
