Would a draw on tuesday be a bad result considering chelsea/spurs fixtures?

[formerly manx toffee]

Just done the predictor and I predict a close run in.

It wouldn't be bad, but it's winnable so why not go for the win? If Moyes plays for the draw we'll get nothing.

Remember Donovans first game? We were great. Pienaars belter chip.

who would you have instead of vermaelen mate? mertesacker's injured so you would go with koscielney and squillaci? does he even still play for you?

reckon it will be a cracking but nervy game, the odd goal in it - looking forward to it. a draw wouldn't be the worse, but you're definitely there for the taking. reckon gervinho will score, players like him tend to do it against us. glad to see a gooner who doesn't rate wilshire. i honestly don't see all the fuss, great on the ball, but so is leon britton, they need others around them to be good as well otherwise they aren't going to win any football matches

Mertesacker was suspended for one game. He should be back and Mertesacker/Koscielny is by far our best partnership. Vermaelen is too similar to Koscielny. Just not as good. Despite Mertesakcers being slow. he has a calmer approach than the other two who gambles way too much.

I actually rate Wilshere. he has great ability on the ball. But he hasnt played for 6 weeks and was thrown in there today because Rosicky was injured. We suffered because of that. despite his talent he lacks the final ball and goal scoring ability. also Wilshere is imo not as good of a compliment to Cazorla as Ramsey is. He wants to dictate and be the main man when cazorla should be that as he is clearly the better player. Ramsey works his bollox off and leave the playmaking to Cazorla and Cazorla plays better without Wilshere.

If we play Podolski/Giroud and Walcott as front 3 we have a good chance to outscore you. I think we will concede atleast one from a set piece

Just can't see us beating arsenal, I hope we do, but they have that Indian sign over us. Draw at best.

 

[bluelife]

would a draw be alright!? i'd sell my soul for anything other than a loss at the emirates!

 

[snipellis11]

I really do have a feeling we will get 3 points against arsenal.

 

[zirc]

I think we need to target 12 points in the last 6 matches. Wins at home and at sunderland and draws in the other aways. If 67 points doesnt get 4th then it's just bad luck. We need arsenal to start dropping points though and getting at least a draw this week would be a good start.

ah right. when did they change straight reds to one match? i know there's some sort of weird stipulations regarding it, i guess that is it. ramsey's pyar gash imo, i wouldn't even start him for wales, he looks like he's never arsed, maybe he doesn't have that attitude at arsenal.

p.s. i hope your not one of those who thinks we're a set piece team, we've been pretty gash at them this season at both ends, more chance of giroud or mertesacker to score against us from one of them

calm down bart simpson

draw wouldnt be bad at all, it would keep us in the hunt

Im a fan of ramsey tbh. he has been gash for wales and for arsenal most of this season. But right now he's in the best form of his career imo and this last month been brilliant for us. Wenger has huge faith in him and earlier the season he was been booed by fans(thats how bad he was) he kept saying he will be great player and people will see that. Mertesacker would not score against evertons ladies in the air, dont worry about him. Giroud is good in the air though

 

[ToffeeDan]

A win puts us 1 point off 3rd place and all the momentum. Sounds like it's a game we should give 100% from start to finish - the prize for a win is so great and with 6th (or perhaps 7th if we fall away) being nowhere in comparison what's to be lost?

 

[Ihaters]

Can't see past us losing against them to be honest, nothing but a win is sufficient though.

If we can almost beat them with the team we had then against the team THEY had then, we should win 7 - 0 on tuesday.
