Team v Arsenal

[beats1]

I always thought it was 12.30 on a friday for a Saturday game?

Don't know if it makes a difference that our game is Sunday, or if the FA/Prem don't bother opening shop on Saturday?

Its 12.30 on the last working day before/on the match day

I take it this is your onion? Or has there been some ITK that I've missed?

Why would he go Newcastle? He's not even French.

Maybe he will go to Liverpool for 15 mill and we will buy him back for 8

Are people putting Dawson ahead of Kaboul because Kaboul's coming back from injury, or because they think Dawson's better?

Kaboul's coming back from injury.

I expect the same line up as against Swansea. This match comes a couple of days too soon for Lamela/Eriksen and it's a big ask to throw them straight into a game of this magnitude. So a solid midfield trio of Paulinho/Capoue/Dembele with Lamela or Sandro to come on later in the game depending on how it's going.

The important thing tomorrow is our midfield pressing and hassling Wilshere/Ramsey and not giving them time on the ball. Like when they played Villa, they struggled to deal with it and so Villa continuously got turnovers in dangerous positions.

Arsenal should be a side that we suit playing, as they will have possession, not sit back so will leave space for our quick powerful players to benefit from. But anything can happen in these games..

Can't wait for this one. COYS!

The thing is townsend and chadli are pretty much newcomers as well. They are a bit familiar by playing together for 2/3 weeks but I think the gap in quality between these two and lamela should see at least one of them in the starting XI IMO.

Kaboul coming back from injury, i would imagine our medical staff have him on a routine of gradually easing him back after such a long lay off.

I think Dawson deserves to start anyhow after 2 clean sheets .......but as for the long term, Kaboul -Verts all day.

 

[SamR]

I'm very intrigued as to who will start today! We have so many first 11 options now its amazing.

I haven't seen enough of the newest trio to include them and being logical, they have only trained once with the team.

Id like to see:

Lloris
Walker - Vertonghen - Kaboul - Rose
Capoue - Holtby/Dembele - Paulinho
Townsend - Soldado - Chadli

I think we should go powerful in the middle and beat them up a bit there. Disrupt their flow, press high up the pitch and get them on the counter attack.

3 subs to use today will depend on how games going.

if winning:

70 mins: Sandro for Dembele
80 mins: Lennon for Townsend/Chaldi
85 mins: Dawson for Rose

if losing:

55 mins: Holtby/Erik for Dembele
70 mins: Lamela for Townsend/Chadli
80 mins: Defoe for Soldado

Such and interesting battle ahead!
If the changes go roughly how I suggest I'll donate a tenner

BC I really hope that Eriksen is decent as you've been championing him long before we signed him.
If he flops ill lose all respect for you, I just hope he knows what's at stake

Looks like he did eh ?
