Arsenal vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[Wellesley]

Lots of half and half scarves too.

You've got to expect that. They haven't played us for a long time in the league. It's a very big game for them.

Let’s see just how nippy Jose is , expect to see a lot of balls over the top from Dunk for him to run on to , don’t know why but I’m actually quite confident we may just get a result here today , if we don’t we can’t complain about a lack of creative team selection by CH , GOSBTS

Of course there might not be much change at all and it could actually just be a 4411 as we've played all season with Gros behind Brown but will be interesting to see.

Bong worries me!

All the pundits say you need to break at speed against Arsenal and press there defence...that lineup could just do it ..because if we sit Arsenal will just pick a way through

Will you be leaving at 5 minutes......for a loo trip

In the last couple of seasons we've had the odd dimwit posting on the official match threads that they'd take a point.
Well come back dimwits, this is your moment.

 

[Washie]

That looks like a 4411 without the ball, then switch to a more attacking 433 with it and break with pure pace, love it

Sit in and whack them on the counter it is then. Well done CH.

Great time to try something a bit different. No one expects us to win this one, why not try something a little left field!

 

[Icy Gull]

it may all go pear shaped but that is not the negative line up that Iwas expecting. Good on you CH

What is Aspinall talking about AK saying he wasn't right for the game mentally? Have I missed something?

 

[A1X]

That Arsenal team (Sanchez aside) doesn't really strike fear into my heart the way the Man City team did when that was announced.

I’m guessing it’s something to do with the interview Knocky did where he admitted he’s still struggling to come to terms with the loss of his Dad. He’s asked the club for help arranging a counsellor.

I read on an Arsenal site that they haven't lost a home game in October since 2002! Probably will be a draw then.

They haven't played us at home since 83?

Subs: Krul, Knockaert, Murray, Goldson, Schelotto, Suttner, MOLUMBY .

Agreed. We won't keep them out for 90 minutes nine out of ten times. I'd love to see a real speedy counter attacking game and go down 4-1 than lose 1-0 or 2-0 on this occasion. Just go for it Albion. Good line up.

Albion players taking photos during pitch walk an hour ago? Tinpot if true.

We are a Prem team on merit, should not show that we are in awe of our opposition.
