Will Arsenal be a tougher opposition?

Will Arsenal be a tougher opposition, than Manchester United?

I think they will be and I dont think we will get away with any mistakes like we did v United and come back from them, we need to score first this time, I think Arsenal are a much better organised side than United this season.


I will always cherish the United game, but I fear for us on this one if we concede first.

Definitely - would be delighted if we can muster a point on Sunday ( we are due a penalty - let's hope it's Sunday! )

Arsenal are better in virtually every department so far this season and very consistent in their play compared to Man Utd.
I will expect them to have much more possession than us and to be honest, to beat us. However, we're certainly 'up' for every game, full of confidence so you never know.

PS I wouldn't mind seeing Gary give 'stubby' Wilshire a slap!

Noone to come on at half time and I'm sure he'll win us a penalty.

I'm hoping that Arsenal playing Marseille tonight in the CL also plays to our advantage.

Arsenal are a classy team who will have a lot of possesion thats for sure.....but i think we can get under they're skin boss them about a bit.....i fancy us to sneak it.

football doesnt work this way we should know that by now. We didnt score first against man city or man united and took 4 points. If we concede the first goal against Arsenal it will be an uphill struggle, especially with the way they keep the ball, but i wont be thinking its game over at all, we have shown how much we can battle, fight and compete with the best in this league.

I'm not sure if we necessarily need to score the 1st goal to get a good result against Arsenal.

I said exactly this against Man City and was proved completely wrong, again I thought the same against United.

It's obviously nice to score the 1st goal in a game but we seemed to have a spirit about this team that keeps plugging away and with our set pieces, we are always dangerous at anytime in a game.

I really think we will trouble Arsenal by putting the ball in box from wide positions be it in open play or from set pieces. For this reason I think Cornelius will be introduced to the game sooner rather than later(Campbell must start after his performance on Sunday).

Arsenal have shown many a time that they can be bullied, so we've got to get in their faces and ruffle their feathers!

I'd start with the same team that started against Man Utd, except that I'd maybe start Bellamy instead of Odemwingie to wind them up!

Yes as mi believe arsenal will be too much their passing and the tempo they play at

I can't see Arsenal's passing being much better against us than Spurs was and we nearly sneaked a point there!

We're a far more cohesive unit now, than we were against Spurs as well, so I can't see any reason to be pessimistic!

our organisation will go a long way, just as it did against Man city. Infact, just as it has for the whole season.

It took a mistake by Marshall/the ref against chelsea when we were looking good in that game, and it took a mistake by turner against man united for them to score. Stopping these errors will be important, if we can, we can certainly frustrate Arsenal.

Three points
1, United have already beaten Arsenal this season and deserved it
2, We have shown thus far that we keep on going to the 95th minute, I dont believe its imperative that we score first, more important that we dont concede more than one goal and give ourselves a mountain to climb.
3. Arsenal play Champions League tonight, hopefully Marseille give them a tough game, maybe with a bit of luck, Arsenal will get some key players injured

We all know that Arsenal will out pass us and we see a huge amount of the ball, but the premiership this year is a strange division and there have been a lot of results that haven't gone the way people would of thought, so yet again Cardiff City can upset the apple cart. We have to try to get stuck into them just to let them know we are no walk over, if we can sneak a point out of this it will be a cracking result myself I just feel we are going to win this game, roll on Saturday

Without a doubt, Arsenal are looking good.

Man-u were an average team with a world class manager last season.
Now they are an average team with an average manager.

Arsenal will be tougher yes, a point against them would be even bigger than the Man utd point

I kinda wanna see the arseholes win the league (no idea why). But it depends on tonight, if they win then they won't have to worry bout their next champ league game for qualifying. And obviously if they get injuries. But I can't see us getting anything from this game.

I think it'll be 3-1 to the arseholes. When ever I think we'll lose. I'm wrong, just saying.

Can't defend set-pieces the way we did against Man Utd. Arsenal can trouble us with players like Giroud and Mertesacker. Think we could try and counter on the flanks as Gibbs and Sagna do like to get forward. On that note, when those guys get forward, especially Sagna can deliver a great cross, need to be at our very best. Malky will pick the team he feels is right, maybe we'll see Gunnarson back in as Medel will need his help if Arsenal play centrally with Rsmsey, Ozil and Cazorla.

Keep the ball fantastically well.

Also for the full 90 they need to be bullied and chased down every minute.

Their patient build up to Wilshires second goal was just to easy for them and cut them open.

Definitely - would be delighted if we can muster a point on Sunday ( we are due a penalty - let's hope it's Sunday! )

I'd rather we picked up the point(s) on Saturday. Seen as we're not playing on Sunday.
