If we don't win this, then the PL title race is basically over for us no matter what anybody says. No chance of progressing past Bayern either.

There's nothing wrong the squad, the team is actually good this year. A lot of depth, very energetic players, even Ramsey being repeatedly dropped is fantastic. The issue is not the team. The issue is the manager.

No matter who we buy or what formation we play, Wenger simply can't do it. Time to move on.

Won't have enough width as all 4 forwards will try to play centrally. Ramsey will also congest the centre and make it easier for them to defend against us

If we were to play ozil RW, I would like us to go 4-4-2 with Perez and Sanchez up top, ozil rw with one up top seems to defensive and we are 9 points of the pace.

We are not going to change our formation after one loss, mate. Same team, same combo, more application is what Wenger will go for. Play like we did against Chelsea and we win.

You never know what your going to get from our lot.

I have a felling we will loose this 2-0.

City have been awful on big games apart from Against united and I think they are due a big game win.

We will be luck to get a draw. I'm just not happy with the way the club is run. It feels very reactive all the time due to have stingy we are.

I have resigned myself to us not winning a major trophy in th next 5 years. We may win a domestics cup but cannot see us wining a league or cl anytime soon until we have a different set of owners and manager at the club.

If we don't beat City today when they are struggling and plagued by injuries we will never beat them. If we play to our potential this will be a comfortable win.

It's the vapours & the long hair bro

But seriously its like his acceleration and pace have been switched nowadays, he's slower off the mark than he was back then but now he's probably one of our fastest over long distance

Our last chance to salvage our season, anything less than a win will bring this season to a conclusion.
