One For The Road Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I know its early for this but I feel we need to look forward. If there's any game against the "big 6"* that we should be positive about, its this lot. Perfect opportunity to get back on track and I fancy us for at least a point. The atmosphere will suit them with no fans, but we have players that will hurt them on the break. 2-2 and the blip is over. *By big 6 I mean the 6 who don't have to pay watch games. (Unless they play Villa) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted November 1, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 1, 2020 I feel more confident going into this than I did Southampton. 1-0 Villa win. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Yeah same mindset for me, we always seem more comfortable playing Arsenal than any of the regular top 6 teams as the space they leave between midfield and defence plays into our hands. Should've beaten them twice last season. We will need to defend much better though and limit the supply line to Aubameyang. If we do I think we can get a 1-1 out of this.

Sulberto21 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I'd go with a 4-4-2 diamond. Nakamba sitting with McGinn and Luiz either side and Jack at the tip go with Watkins and Trez/Davis up front. If it's not working we can stil go to a 4-3-3 with Watkins on the right and Jack left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Win this and all is well and good again. Really want to see the team with the bit between their teeth. Thought we looked good second half today and created plenty. Good win for Arsenal today, they look a lot stronger with Thomas in there. Im Hopeful, we have a good side this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 We shouldn't go gung ho against them. We'd play straight into Arteta's hands. We have players up front that can hurt any team and there is no need for everyone to be bombing forward leaving huge gaps between the midfield and defence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Be more patient, build from the back without the worldie pass attempts, dink and move, give good options, set traps, keep a good shape, BE BETTER OFF THE BALL AND TAKE BETTER THROW INS. Would be tempted to try a 343. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I'd rotate a few players. I see us getting a positive result. Either 1-0 win or 1-1 draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted November 2, 2020 Moderator Share Posted November 2, 2020 I think we'll get a response from the players. I think they will go into this more like how we ended the last game and not how we started it. I just wish Arsenal weren't the opposition. I think we lose, but I hope. Aubameyang to do the damage. I'm looking forward to getting a look at Partey as he seems to be the poodle's privates by all accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sulberto21 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Bollocks I forgot they signed Partey. He definitely gives them a more physical presence. I think JT or Shakespeare should just sacrifice themselves and nut him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't work so at half time after I was mocked ruthlessly (rightly so) I said we need to employ plan B. "Kick em". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
