As long as we can take our chances, we will win, we will dominate them all over the park, we will concede, but I believe we will score more than them...

Watched the whole 90 minutes of their game against Brighton on Amazon. It wasn't a fluke, they were completely outplayed. The only other team I've seen this season that are so easy to play against is...well us! We seem to be only able to get ourselves up for this sort of game and they have Lacazette and Aubameyang so I say 2-2.

I hope we come out and play on the front foot with some passion. Arsenal are there for the taking, they were appalling against Brighton as they couldn't handle their movement and energy. I know that's not our typical game and it will be hard to keep it up for 90 minutes but it's a London derby.

If we fight and compete but lose to some class for Auba then fair enough there isn't much you can do. I'd like to see us press them and get in their faces to make it more difficult for them. Brighton made it look so easy last week!

If Ozil plays with Laca and Auba we will lose. If he doesn't we might win. Probably a score draw if I had to guess a scoreline :hush:

Half price Lagunitas beers in the kiosks by 144 and at the STB screen until full-time. You need a voucher from the guys handing them out in front of the kiosk (they'll give you as many as you want):

Exactly my thoughts as well.

Same team as Chelsea for me, lets see if Pellegrini can get the same amount of effort out of them tonight or was it just a 1-off brief turnaround for a derby at The Bridge?

I'm surprised they haven't trained a parrot up to do the pressers and team talks, could deffo save themselves a few quid.

If you're taking any "sack the board!" banners in tonight, y'all better make sure they're well hidden:

Getting searched going in to "our own" ground.

My Edwin can say Come on You Irons! That's all the players should need to motivate them

Definite home win tonight. Our lot are a bunch of game-raisers in any case, and with Arsenal you have the advantage that they come with the top 6 reputation but play like....us, actually.

But they could do us a favour and play Aubameyang out wide like they are unfathomably prone to doing.

Basically just follow Pellers youtube masterclass video, and add some skill and decent defending to get the win. Don't worry about a bit of effort though, the tactics are on a higher plane and don't require any extra input.

Not sure what else he can say. We did pretty much all of that against Chelsea and won. Do the basics and we stand a chance to get a result tonight.

Hopefully we can do our bit in the stands under the lights and try generate some noise to get behind them....
