Because we do.

6 of our first 11 against Sunderland only signed for us this year. And Flanno is new to the first team as well which makes it 7.

Its gonna take time for the players to learn each others games etc. Lets hope the fans and owners are patient. Last thing we need is a new manager.

I agree with you totally, and I think JWH is probably more for the "Liverpool way" than sacking every manager who loses a game like some teams we know. Like many though i'm a little miffed that we didn't do our gelling in pre-season like all the other teams. Still, i'm confident of a win tomorrow

Samir Nasri will be in the Arsenal squad for tomorrow's game

he might play?

If we get anything less than 3 points it will be a huge disappointment.

Exactly

Well boys I've bet 1:1 Carroll first. Got 35s so you can rule that out

Anyone got a stream? :laugh:

Was thinking it would be a draw but after everything that's gone on at arsenal this week im confident we will get the 3 points. I think Adam will terrorise the arsenal defense with his beautiful passes combined with downing and el pistorelo amazing runs I predict 2-0

A win would put us top

Come on liverpool

Not if Sunderland better our result

btw Arsenal Mania reckon Nasri is gonna start :Oo:

by **damjan193** » Fri Aug 19, 2011 3:48 pm

I disagree on playing Adam, I think Meireles should start instead of him. Meireles and Lucas had a great partnership in the midfield last season, and Adam is still new, and we all saw what happened when we play alot of new players. At least for now I say we play Meireles. My formation and line-up would be:

Reina

Johnson Carra Agger Enrique
(if not fit-Kelly)

Lucas Meireles

Kuyt Downing

Carroll Suarez

Subs:
Doni
Kelly(if he starts-Robinson)
Flanno
Adam
Aquilani
Henderson
Rodriguez

Its gonna take time before our team gels etc.

agree with this. they still have a very good and quick attackers who can hurt us. i'm wary of Walcott. i still have images of him making that crazy run.

but it will be a major disappointment if we do not win the game. they are at their most vulnerable state right now and our players need to have the predatory instinct that champions are made of.

Diaby, Song, Gervinho, Wilshere, Djourou, Traore, Gibbs and ROSICKY are not playing. i wasn't aware of Rosicky's injury but he is gonna be rested. so perhaps that is why Nasri has been included in the squad. so too has their new Japanese signing Miyaichi (sp).

this means their back 4 would probably be Sagna, Koscielny, Jenkinson and Vermaelen. Jenkinson is their weakest link in defense. very inexperienced. go Carroll! :buttrock

Here's what I'd like to see for tomorrow.

Reina

Carra Skrtel Agger

Kelly (Johnson if fit) Enrique

Lucas

Adam

Suarez Downing

Carroll

If it's not working, sub Kuyt for Skrtel and go 4-4-2

i'd be very surprised if he did, he's on the verge of a big money move to either Manchester utd or city.

I'm in favour of a win for us...we're stronger on paper and should easily overpower them on the field. Last time carroll played against Arsenal their defenders bounced off him like balloons

Match is on ESPN2 in the states.

Getting pumped for this one. Good situation for us and bad for Arsenal. Only negative is that we may not gel good enough yet.
