Maybe im wrong, but I have a feeling when br has a full week to prepare the team we normally do ok on game day. Obviously it doesn't come much harder for us than at the emirates but with a full 7 days to get it right, we might just do ok.
Imo, stop carzorla and you stop arsenal, I think he is the key for them, id be tempted to stick milner in his area and cut out his space.
Anyway, what a pain waiting until Monday...AGAIN!
7 days to prepare.

people are so precious
arsenal should win this. theyre at home, have a better squad than us, we're still missing our best player, and have a lot of new players bedding in.
2-1 or 3-1 i reckon.

Arsenal are strong favourite. GB is just wumming

Wouldn't say 'strong' favourite. We're unpredictable this early on in the season. If it was further down the line, I'd be more confident, but I genuinely don't know what to expect from us at this point.
Hence why I'm unsure as to which way it could go.

To be honest I expect what we normally get at Emirates. A minimum 3-1 defeat. Thats not me trying to play it down but if you look.at the recent history and the squads that is the logical conclusion.

We will lose if we play with the same team played in the first two games. We kept clean sheets but they were down to the oppositions not taking their chances. Arsenal need half a chance to score. It will be 2-0 or 2-1 which are the usual scoreline against them. If Lucas plays then Liverpool could get a point.
Team if Henderson doesn't recover in time.

Clyne Skrtel Lovren Gomez
Lucas
Milner Can Coutinho

" We kept clean sheets but they were down to the oppositions not taking their chances."
can't say I agree with that, Stoke had maybe one solid chance and bournmouth none.

"Sanchez is Arsenal's only truly class player.
If he's quiet there are point(s) available."
This guy talks so much garbage.

BR does better when he has a week to prepare??
Surely you want a manager who can organise and prepare for the rush of games that will be coming in the league, EL and cup runs?

Cazorola..ramsey...sanchez...wilshere...are they not arsenals mf too?? Once again people trying to be smart but looking stupid.

Cazorla is an important part of our midfield.
Ramsey is playing in a role that doesn't suit him.
WIlshere isn't an important part of the team.
Sanchez is a wide forward

We'll see how Coq handles the pressure this season. He looks like a starter but, and to be fair I'm only going from on here, it already looks like the bubble has burst a bit.
Not sure he is the best passer of the ball is he but I do think it is worth noting that Arsenal have won plenty of football matches without him.
I won't be sad to see him in the team on Monday.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The bubble hasn't burst.
He was exceptional vs Chelsea. Poor vs West Ham, then very good again vs Palace before he got subbed. He got a 7.69 (a good score, especially for a DM) vs Palace from WhoScored despite only playing 62 mins.
