I've been hoping for that for about 7 years GT. Let's see if it happens today.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All depends on our defensive performance but if City is any vulnerable at the moment it's their back. So we have to attack if we want to win something. We can do it as we have shown against them in the FA cup semis.

Anyway....let's wait and see.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Considering we've conceded 6 and Arsenal 13,perhaps focussing on our defensive vulnerability is a little optimistic ?
Arsenal would need to sit deep and narrow,then play on the counter to get any joy but I don't think they are playing well enough as an actual team to work hard enough for one another to nullify City
I suspect we will start

Ederson
Walker Stones Otamendi Delph
Fernandinho
Sane DeBruyne Silva Sterling
Aguero

Delph Stones and Walker in Man City defence If someone told me 9 years ago that 9 years later all that money and Man City would field average players from other teams including a crap midfielder in Delph at left back I would have laughed.

I know Wenger being a totally inflexible caant won't do this, but it Kolasinac is out, we HAVE TO switch to a conventional back 4 and bolster our midfield. Bringing back Holden who has been facking sheite will be suicidal and we'll get a good humping.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We should change to 4 at the back regardless because City will completely assrape Xhaka and Ramsey

But alas it took Wenger 20 odd years to switch to a back 3 so we will be waiting a while yet for him to switch away from it

Well given that he's statistically the best chance-creator in football by a mile, has assist-titles in 3 major leagues, and is a World Champion...

We should probably play him

It's true holding has looked a shambles this season and I wouldn't start him either

But we know wenger won't revert back to a back 4

Of course, I've wanted the switch for a long time, but Wenger will certainly not make it if our defensive options are fit. He can only be forced by injuries like this one to Kolasinac, but I fear even that will not be enough and he'll just bring back Holding.

Tell you what Castor, lets drop our best player Ozil and play our worst WALCOTT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've given up hope of Wenger reverting to a back 4.

If he doesn't do it today (I don't think he will), then it's in place for the rest of the season.

Ok well let's see what Ozil does today. If it's the same joke that has gone missing in big away games for the last 3 season then he can fack off.

Ozil is one of if not our best player. Silly post

Sead Kolasinac has travelled with the squad. #afc

If we want to have a chance we have to defend well from back to upfront. Our strikers have to do a lot of dirty work.

We have to try and park the bus whole game and then hit them on the break and make use of set pieces.

We're fecked whatever we do, their midfield will dominate as we know Xhaka and Ramsey will start, just got to hope they have a bad day at the office.

Wow no Mertesacker and no lacazette

So how many assists has Ozil created today?

Özil wasn’t dropped, but he should have been, of course that idiot Wenger played him for the full game - & he was absolutely $hit... 😑
