Tottenham Vs Arsenal: Match Thread

#Arsenal Szcezeny/Sagna Djourou Koscielny Clichy/Song Diaby/Walcott Fabregas Nasri/RVP

 

[ajspurs]

Rafa had better track back against Nasri...

And Arshavin when he features who could be dangerous if not marked out.

 

[lifeof...]

Harry makes one change tonight - Crouchy back and Rafa to the right, Aaron Lennon on the bench. Team soon...

thats just what i logged on for

 

[elvis7754]

Also, might be wrong, but I think Harry will ask them to play as a 433 unit with Bale and Pav as the left and right forwards respectively. Central three of VDV, Thudd, Modric.

he would have played lennon if that was the case surely?!

No. Lennon is not a right sided forward. Bale, as per Inter away, is capable of playing as a left sided forward, getting into the box and scoring. Lennon scores more when he's on the left.

Pav often drifts wide anyway and I think him and Bale could cause all sorts of problems coming in and feeding off Crouch knock downs.

 

[kishman]

That's the line up I expected.

 

[rebrab]

Interesting lineup from the scum... I think our trio of hudd modders and VDV could outplay song diaby nasri and fabregas... which if so could leave us very strong

 

[hughy]

I can understand going with 2 big guys up front, but I thought it would have been VDV on the bench. Maybe Redknapp feels Lennon wouldn't have the beating of Clichy.

pav, altho a decent crosser, is far less of RF than lennon...

altho this discussion is immaterial, we shall see.

COYS

I'm not a fan of the line up .... were missing a trick not playing Sandro in central midfield ... I fear and hope we don't get over run in centre mid.

Huddlestone was poor against Real and clearly not fully match fit (not expected).

Van der Vaart on the wing? Why??? in poor form and lazy as fu*k.

I'd of played Sandro, Huddlestone, Modric in centre mid, Bale, Lennon on the wings and Crouch or Pava up top.

 

[beats1]

Pav has been one of our most creative players recently so it was hard to drop him imo

Thinking back, wasn't Lennon sacrificed at half time for Defoe in November? I think it's got to be because of Clichy's pace.

 

[DEFchenkOE]

Oh man, I'm going to hope I'm wrong, but that line up is in trouble. We are going to get cut through. Accommodating VdV in a 4-4-2 is dumb, just don't play him.

Hope we're wrong too but I agree completely, not at all a fan of that line up, if Wenger is smart he'll just put Walcott on the left and our right side would be in trouble. Who is going to pick up Fabregas? I'm ridiculously nervous about this game now.

Yes, but wasn't that Lennon's first game back from injury?

 

[agrdavidsfan]

Wenger setting up to play on te counter?

VDV and bale both brilliant crossers crouch could get a few

 

[mattdefoe]

Pav needs this run but he also needs that goal and hopefully it comes tonight he really should of stayed in the team after his Chelsea home goal. If he plays poor tonight Defoe on Saturday I would say

 

[agrdavidsfan]

If Walcott goes on the left were in trouble can't believe kabpuls dropped

 

[kishman]

I think it's fair to say, Crouch and Pav are playing for their places in the team.

Really can't stand nasri,... diving little cheat. Dirty player, likes to spit too. Just seeing his name in the scum line up has pissed me off,... COYS!!!! :clap:
