No Surprise line up from Spurs

I'm waiting for a bus

I don't think a 451 is likely for Spurs, we have never played in that way.

Success this season has been with 2 up front. Admitedly Arsenal have a better CM than LFC, Wigan & Wolves so maybe Mdoric & Parker vs Song/Ramsey/Arteta could struggle but if VDV plays from the right he can get involved centrally too! That may leave our right side exposed a bit so if Gervinho is fit, he could benefit.

Maybe a 4411 with VDV off Ade, while dropping in to help out/occupy Song BUT with Lennon an unlikely starter, and Kranjcar uncertain I am not sure how the team would line up.

However to state "Spurs WILL play a 5 man midfield" is not right because most Spurs fans would not expect it.

Doovde,

===================

There's room on my bandwagon if you want to jump on.

Spurs will play five men midfield because they know Arsenal can dominate matches. Although Gunners are adapting well together, but they have not still gelled together. I still think Diaby and Wilshere are missed badly this season. There is no doubt Wilshere is ahead of everybody in our midfield, but Diaby may lack concentration one or two, nonetheless, the guy is immense and can pass three players so easily, and you cannot get that from any player in our team.

…………….Friedel…………………….
.Kaboul…King…Bassong.. Ekkotto.
………………Parker………………………..
……..Modric…………Krancar……
.Van Der Vaart……………..Bale…
…………….Adebayor………………..

The Arsenal team that could be available on Sunday
……………………..Szcesny…………………….
.Sagna…..Mertesacker…Koscielny….Gibbs..
……………………..Song………………………………….
……..Arteta…………………………Ramsey………..
.Walcott………………………………..Gervinho….
………………….Van Persie…………………………

Rosicky is unpredictable, but if the guy performs to his best ability, we have a great player in our hands same applies to Arshavin. I am sure both will come on second half or if an injury happens during the first half because Spurs will be on our faces at the start of the game and test our mental strength.

P.S
I would not have Song and Mertesacker in our defence pairing. There will be no pace in our defence and we could pay for that. Olympiacos showed that, but we got away with it. Koscielny has a pace which helps our defence. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6wn2kqvZJI
No doubt there

Spurs 1- 2 Arsenal Van Persie 23, Gervinho 49, Van Der Vaart 90+1

I just knew this was going to be a joke of a post when I read the opening line.................and I was right!

If we WERE going to play five in the middle, then Parker & Sandro would form part of it.

Arsenal will NEED 6 in front of their back four, which in its current form and make up is the worst Arsenal defence I have seen for years...........................

Lacking in pace & mobility through the centre, I cannot see Mertesacker coping with Bale, Ade or Defoe, he has the turning circle of an ocean tanker and is about as quick as Ann Widdecombe on Come Dancing!!

We will win.

We have good on our side

LADY!!!!

Hello

I know fans, pundits and even that man and his dog are saying that Arsenal's defence has more holes than swiss cheese right now but your midfield and attack in general is still very good.

……………………..Song………………………………….
……..Arteta…………………………Ramsey………..
.Walcott………………………………..Gervinho….
………………….Van Persie…………………………

Bahamas..........................Yes Arsenal do have a good attack and their midfield can be good too, but so far they are not firing on all cylinders due to the zonal marking Arsenal have adopted this season.

I think they will struggle against our midfield Sunday & you can only play as well as the opposition let you. As the two Milan clubs found out last year & we found out against Real & City & United this year!!
