Get into 'em!

[PaulWinch again]

Don't like to see Weimann out wide.

[UK Redsox]

Great early block by Okore

[PeterWithesShin]

Good from Okore. Don't like us playing a high line against this lot.

[PeterWithesShin]

Where are the Arsenal fans?

[Tuscans]

I honestly hand on on heart wouldn't sign Cleverley on a free, there's hundreds of thousands more effective midfielder's playing football out there.

Holy hyperbole Batman.

Honestly, not an over reaction. I don't see how he plays Premier League football, it baffles me.

It was the 'hundreds of thousands' bit that I was referring to.

Take hundreds away then....

How many players do you think play professionally?

Thousands...why?

my point being he's not a second tier player so when you assess how many players play at the top level of the game in one of the established leagues around the world there isn't thousands of players in his position that are better than him. The number is significantly smaller which in your post above might be more accurate.

Great

I'm sitting in a different place today (at the dinning table) in an attempt to break the hex of my sofa watching days.

Coincedentally so am I.

[Toronto Villa]

Good from Okore. Don't like us playing a high line against this lot.

Sitting deep isn't a good option either. We have to press them so there is some risk in that.

[PaulWinch again]

Move Benteke.

Afternoon all.  Best defensive record outside the top 4 Dixon just said.  Let's see.

[silhillvilla]

Our defensive line is higher than Dec McParlanes hairline

[Summers]

Swap Cissokho and Westy for Richardson and Clevs and I think we're a better team.

Not a big fan of Weimann outwide, but he'll work hard atleast.

[brontebilly]

Stunned to see Richardson keep his place. Looks like we will be more expansive on the ball but thought a lot of the defensive jitters last time out were down to his positioning.

Another chance for Cleverley, understandable I guess but I'd have Bacuna in there for a game like this.

Arsenal look very weak at full back but we don't really have the players to exploit there.

I'm not sure we'll be seeing a lot of exploiting by us today.

[PeterWithesShin]

A couple of good passes from TC so far.
