robdog 2,084 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I can see Solanke play. Remember last season @ anfield? Kalas was given the opportunity & IMHO he did a marvelous job. Man I wish Sunday would hurry it's way here. I can't wait to see this match. So many good memories these past 10 years after years of dispair vs le arse.

ZOS 580 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 can't be bothered any less... unlike utd, they'll try to pass it through our defense in stead of using their width. we'll smash them on the counter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman60 1,343 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Why is everyone saying "Jose will park the bus" against the Arse. Don't you think that Wenger will anticipate that and set his team up accordingly ? That's why I think that Jose will do quite the opposite,and will take the game to them, thus quietening the crowd and confusing the manager, and an early goal for us would be a body blow to them. That pitch suits our style of play and let's be honest, we are a better team than them so why should we bother parking the bus? We will win on Sunday, no worries. I am really looking forward to this match with a renewed confidence after our recent results. Although we haven't played well we are grinding out not just draws, but victories, and we are not conceding too many. (C Austin's punt and T Courtois blunder against Hull excluded)And finally..........I don't want to read any more Chelsea fans saying that they "don't mind if we lose to Arsenal"...........WE ARE CHELSEA, CHAMPIONS ELECT, AND WE DON'T LIKE LOSING TO ANYONE........EVER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic weeds 446 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Mikel is not matchfit. He hasn't played for a long time.But I thought his first touch was a nutmeg on Fellaini? BTW, I dont think SOLANKE will start. He has an FA Cup final the following day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,918 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Seriously, what the fuck kind of injury did Remy get? Nearly 3 weeks since getting a knock by the time we play Arsenal and he still may not be fit? José made it sound like he had a great chance of playing against United and now he may miss this one too.

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Don't you think that Wenger will anticipate that and set his team up accordingly ?So far we haven't lose against big 4 in PL and none could have a solution to break or anticipate our strategy. I'm more curious about why you think this time, Wenger of all people, will have a right approach to anticipate our strategy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNDS 502 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I'd go with Courtois; Ivanovic-Cahill-Terry-Azpi; Matic-Fabregas; Willian-Oscar-Hazard; Remy (if fit) for this one.Oscar was generally very good against Man United, and so deserves to keep his place in the starting eleven (he also tends to perform well against Arsenal anyway). I wouldn't start him at RM though, as I'm not entirely convinced that his deployment there was a complete success in purely tactical terms; Shaw seemed to get into dangerous positions far too frequently, and the vast majority of Oscar's best moments (e.g. his assist) came when he had moved into more central areas of the pitch. We could possibly play a narrow 4-3-3, with Oscar staying at 'RM' and one of either Mikel or Zouma starting instead of Willian, but I would not favour this option due to the relative lack of pace we would then have in midfield areas. Arsenal are playing very well at the moment, but are still prone to leaving spaces to exploit on the counter; starting with a trio of Willian-Hazard-Remy could allow us to do this.There IS risk attached to playing the Matic-Fabregas double-pivot, but I think that our position at the top of the table is currently secure enough to allow us to start this game with a more attacking approach; if we win we've practically won the title, if we lose we can still afford to drop points in two/three/(maybe even four) of our remaining fixtures.
