If we play with three centre backs, we will need a lot of pace and energy in midfield to counter arsenals mid field running/passing through us.
They will need that protection which we have been short on giving them so far this season. Lucas and Can sound ok, Lucas a bit slow, but reads the game well and snaps the tackles in on a god day, and Can, can provide the energy. Markovic is also a starter for me, he's looked much sharper and causes problems when he runs at players. Not a great record against the arse apart from recently, and was worried about this one. Starting to believe we could win it now as they are sh*te as well most of the time, although they've done a bit better lately.
Suppose it all comes down to what strange formation, selection and tactic Brendan chooses to use today.
Will it be 3 CBs, back 4, false No 9 or Skrtel up top ?
On edge and can't wait. Got a mate gone to the game, Arsenal fan, they rarely win when he goes, and he's only seen them score 1 goal this season, so the omens are good.
C.O.Y.M.
REDMEN !
