Welbeck needs to start. If we can't capitalize on their injury crisis, I'm going to punch multiple holes in my wall. This is a must win. NO excuses.

[–]BatteryPoweredFriend 19ポイント20ポイント  (1子コメント)

Don't care if we beat them by a double-figure margin or nick a last second winner deep into fergiewengertime, the only thing that matters here is a win. For our title challenge, for pride and for stuffing it to my coworker who has (unsurprisingly) gone all uppity after 'vanquishing' the likes of Shrewsbury & Midtjylland, while making jabs at our loss to Barca and having to reply Hull.

[–]dannywelbzRecord breaker, History maker 14ポイント15ポイント  (0子コメント)

Though it'd be nice to score 5 in the 1st hour and play for a full half in an almost empty Old Trafford, but for a few thousand ecstatic gooners singing their hearts out of course.

Not only win, but make a statement.

Yeah, even if we totally destroyed him in the reverse fixture, 3-0 was a very flattering scoreline for them.

Ideally, we would finally take revenge for the 8-2.

But the points are moment, so I don't care about how we get them.

We can make a statement next week.

[–]bellend1234Aaron Hamstring 27ポイント28ポイント  (2子コメント)

I just want us to get 3 points.

I can't believe that anyone who has watched the PL for more than a few years would approach any PL game (let alone one at OT) demanding anything more than 3 points. Making a statement or smashing a team are not things you reasonably expect before a PL match.

[–]gladitsknight 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Old Trafford may not be what it was but I reckon it's still pretty daunting for our players. And I think it's still too early to tell if we've well and truly got over that mental hump yet. We are by a mile the better team but I am still not confident of a win.

[–]shr3ddie 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

[–]thatlur 19ポイント20ポイント  (9子コメント)

Would like Welbeck to start but he's probably not ready yet. Giroud needs a rest and I would like to see us playing with a fast striker again.

            Walcott
      Alexis Ozil Campbell
           Coq Ramsey
 Monreal Kos Gabriel Bellerin
             Cech

e: actually Welbeck did play 67' against Hull, he probably could start as striker and will have extra motivation this game

[–]AfricanRainI support Atom y Humber, not Arsenal 33ポイント34ポイント  (4子コメント)

Explain how Giroud needs a rest when he got one v Hull and there was a weeks break before that.

People say that a player "needs a rest" far too often, basically a buzzword at this point.

[–]thatlur 36ポイント37ポイント  (3子コメント)

Yeah I guess I'm using it as a bit of a buzzword. He probably doesn't need physical rest but maybe a mental rest. I want him benched so he no longer feels like he has a guaranteed spot on the team. He needs to feel like he has to score in order to start.

[–]AfricanRainI support Atom y Humber, not Arsenal 20ポイント21ポイント  (0子コメント)

Fair enough then I'd agree with that

[–]Cod2242She wore she wore.... 7ポイント8ポイント  (1子コメント)

I agree with you. People forget that in the beginning of the year Walcott started every game at striker and was in good form. Giroud worked his ass off and then went on a great patch. He's the type of player that can get motivated by being benched.

Edit: After reading this I completely realized that our counter attack has been complete piss poor since starting Giroud. Now I'm not bashing him, he's Great at what he does. But in the beginning of the year we were so deadly on the counter with a fast striker and wingers. We've sort of molded away from that play style.

[–]UWFdude 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Which is a shame because we have an Ozil who can make nasty dirty through balls/chip passes.

[–]Teleman_Frank 6ポイント7ポイント  (1子コメント)

Welbeck doesn't need to play the whole game, but he should definitely start

[–]UWFdude 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I just imagine him coming in late with fire in his eyes. I would rather see Giroud start.

[–]s0ngsforthedeaf 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yeah but we cant play Walcott on the wing any more, mentally he is gone at that role. Its striker or nothing for him.

[–]UWFdude 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yes we can! Walcott understands the needs of the team.

[–]g4ttacaCecinho 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Thanks for including both teams' table position, it's a great feature.

[–]KWall717 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

In the entire Premier League era, we've only ever scored more than 2 goals at OT 3 times. 2 of which were in FA Cup wins in 2003 and 2015. The other was the 8-2 defeat. We have 5 wins (those 2 FA Cup wins) as well as 3 league wins (1-0 in March 1998, 1-0 in May 2002 and 1-0 in September 2006). Our record there has quite frankly, been fucking horse shit.

Unacceptable IMO for a club of our stature and teams full of the sort of quality we've had over last 15 years or so, to have such an abhorrent record at Old Trafford. Tomorrow needs to be the day we buck the trend.

[–]GoodlakeWenger Knows (edit: ehhh) 10ポイント11ポイント  (2子コメント)

They'll be full of confidence after their victory against mighty Midtjylland. Really wish we'd had more to show from our Barcelona fixture because there are a lot of questions about the squad right now.

I don't expect to see a replay of 3-0.

Good shout. Hopefully irrespective of our recent European games we can give them a right dicking

[–][deleted] 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Welbeck starts over Giroud. He doesn't score, but he assists an Özil goal. He goes off in the seventieth minute, Giroud comes on and scores. We win 2-1.

[–][deleted] 7ポイント8ポイント  (1子コメント)

They're not as injury-ridden as you'd think - At all. I fully expect de Gea, Smalling and Martial all to start. Their midfield (Schneiderlin, Herrera, Lingard, Mata, Memphis) is worth £115m. Their striker is worth £36m. They'll have their first-choice centre-back pairing available and their "youth" right-back is 2 years older than Bellerin. They also have, according to them, the best goalkeeper in the world. So amongst all the commotion and whinging, they'll have one youth left-back to be worried about.

But we should still be beating them. Hammering them. They are shit and on shut form. If we have our shooting boots on at all then we'll win easily, but I'm expecting a draw - Probably a 1-1.

[–]ducksflytogether_.38 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Worth and how much they paid for are massively different. Are Schneiderlin, Memphis, and Martial quality? Yeah. But If Arsenal spent 115m on a midfield, I'd expect no less than prime Xavi, Iniesta, and Busquets.

And your point about the right-back, yes he's older but I wouldn't say he's better. Most of the right-backs in the league are older than Bellerin, but most of them aren't better. Their team is too expensive and in tatters. We should smash them so hard Van Gaal turns Portugese and starts blaming Wenger for their poor form.

[–]vanderbobarse-shaving 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Is Flamini available?

[–]Jchibs 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

They have a really good defensive record at home. Only conceded five league goals all year. We aren't scoring goals, we have won just two out eight away in the league so not confident. A draw at OT is always a good point in isolation but we need a win. 0-0 or 1-0 Arsenal.

[–]F4ther_Karras 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

If Sanchez remembers how to shoot and Ozil has a good one, then we might scrape it. Hope I'm wrong, but this is the exact kind of pressure that Arsenal fail under (precedent of not winning the fixture, but evidence that the result might be different this season. See pre match expectations before stamford bridge 2013/14)

Talking points??

Arsenal have won none and lost six of their last eight Premier League trips to Old Trafford.

Arsenal have dropped seven points from winning positions away from home, the joint-most in the Premier League along with Man Utd.

Only three players (Thierry Henry 20 in 2002/03, Frank Lampard 18 in 2004/05 and Cesc Fabregas, 18 in 2014/15) have assisted more goals in a single Premier League season than Mesut Ozil (17) in 2015/16.

This patch of games is genuinely scary. This is the time we usually fall apart and never recover. It's happened in 2008, 11, 14. Maybe. Just maybe, this year will be different. We're almost certainly out of the CL. FA cup matches will be played by reserve teams. League is the priority.

The next 3 games, Man Utd (A), Swansea (H) and Shit (A) produced just 1 point last season. We can't repeat that. With Leicester winning, there is no option but to win.

I imagine the lineup won't be much different from the one we had against Barca: Cech, Monreal, Koscielny, Per, Bellerin, Coquelin, Ramsey, Ozil, Alexis, Walcott, Giroud

    it would be fun if sanchez was upfront with giroud, to try something different. no traditional striker is in form. we're also missing santi and therefore the midfield balance. apart from that we still are doing well. lets hope we can beat them with a big margin while they are at their weakest.

        I think today is a great chance to try and freshen things up by sticking Alexis on the RW for a game and giving Welbz the LW. Either way I want Welbz in the line up and don't really care who plays up front, not opposed to seeing Theo there but Giroud will be fine given he should be able to physically dominate United's defenders.

        The above is from a conversation i had on /r/reddevils. Compare this to our starting 11 and you can see why man utd have fallen

            cech

Bell-per-kos-mon

   ram-coq

Walcott-ozil-alexis

    giroud

Subs: ospina, chambers, Gibbs, elneny, flamini, Campbell, welbeck

        That's a pretty good team considering the amount of injuries they have.

        Rojo isn't 100% fit, he played like 10-15 minutes on Thursday and just come back from injury. Wouldn't be shocked to see Carrick start at CB. Our line-up looks good, would prefer Welbeck for Walcott though.

        There's a big chance of De Gea and Smalling being back but Rojo won't start, Van Gaal said it in his press conference.

        We are a much better side. We have quality, unity, and genuine passion. They have none of these things. Predicting a 3-1 win for the GUNNERS!!!!!

        We have to play the counter attack tomorrow no? Man Utd is depleted, should be easy to get them disorganized on the counter and let them make mistakes when they have possession.

        I can see this as the lineup. Hope we can capitalize on MANUre's injuries

        Swap Joel for Feo. Give him some minutes with Welbs now that ox is out.

        [–]Quilpo -2ポイント-1ポイント  (0子コメント)

        Welbeck to start, either up front or on the right, and probably score a few.

        Pretty sure we're going to win, almost as sure as I was that we were going to lose the last game, not sure whether that bodes well or not. Hopefully we take confidence from the way we played against Barca, and not the result.

        Welbz to score a hattrick today. Doesn't celebrate after first two goals.

        After the third, he removes his Arsenal jersey revealing a T-shirt that says "The little boy inside me says FUCK YOU MAN UTD"

        No but an 18 year old might've destroyed your title hopes

        If we play like we did against Barca we will have no trouble beating Man Utd's kids. IF.

        Well we aren't playing their kids.

        [–]legop4o 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

        They will most probably have names starting who even my ManU supporting friends hadn't heard about until a few days ago. That, to me, is playing their kids. And if you watched them in the europa league - it was like the reverse to our match with Barca. Both teams were even for most of the game and then they won, we lost. Only we were even with the best team in the world and I cant spell the other one. So again - if we play on this level,we will have no trouble beating their injury filled squad. Happy now?
