Agreed but Wenger won't do it because he's stupid right now.

Arteta - Rosicky is the most solid pairing we can field next game.

Obviously Giroud up front because we don't have anyone else, the Attacking mids I'm not to fussed with, you've got a choice of four Ozil, Caz, Pod and Ox, don't care who starts really, more worried if they'll show up.

On recent form, you know that Arteta and then Ozil could do well to start the game on the bench. This is a big game, however, so this is hardly the time to experiment with the team set up. I expect Wilshere and Arteta to both start in the middle of the park even though I prefer Rosicky to Mikel at the moment. Regarding the CDM position, how do you guys think that Verms would do playing in front of Kos and Merts? I know he's a CB by trade but surely he could offer more defensively than the struggling Arteta. Again, its not advisable that we experiment in midweek but the thought is worth a ponder at the least..

Man Utd made 39 crosses in the first half. They certainly have a way of playing

These are shite. If we don't come out and f***ing destroy these by at least 2 goals I won't be happy. We're at the Emirates, and Moyes' only tactic is literally to cross every time they're in the opposition half.

Yeah but we're not the best at dealing with crosses.

If we properly attack them with Chambo & Poldi we'll get some joy though.

We'll no doubt shit our pants the second we see them on the pitch. Doesn't matter how bad they're playing, we'll make it harder than it should be just because it's them...

Dunno, remember the 1-1 last season? At home, Walcott scored in the first min and van Persie penalty equalised

The start to that game is the best I'd seen us play all season. We just need to instil that kind of urgency on Weds. Play all our best dribblers and attack. Basically how Liverpool played yesterday

Lol this.

Utd have a fear factor over us even when its completely unwarranted.

I think its a bad style match up for us. United are predictable, but they use the wings alot and we are vulnerable from the wings. They play simple football by getting the ball to the wing and put in crosses. And they know better than any team that our midfield struggles when you put pressure on them. I expect a 1-3 loss
