    -----------Rooney---------------
    --Di Maria-------------Mata------
    ------Herrera--------Fellaini-----
    ---------------Blind--------------
    Shaw - McNair - A fit CB - Rafael


    Something like this please Van Gaal.
     
    Really looking forward to this one.

    Both sides needing a win, both sides a bit vulnerable, and a 17:30 Saturday kick-off meaning it can be watched with a glass of wine or two.

    F*ck off, the international break.
     
    Arsenal will obviously be looking to bounce back against us after today, but they are there for the taking.

    And because of that, we'll probably feck it up.
     
    Hope to see this


    ---------------De Gea---------------
    Valencia--Smalling---Jones--Shaw
    --------Carrick--------Blind--------
    Di Maria------Rooney-------Mata
    -----------------Falcao-----------------
     
    Dangerous match. They are reeling and desperately need this as a statement of non-implosion - much like City did against us last weekend.
     
    I'm not sure how we could lose this one, even with our form. Open your legs Arsenal... As usual.
     
    2-3 victory for us... somehow. The difference between our strikers and their defenders alone should be the difference for this one.

    If Blind can shut down or bother Alexis without getting himself carded until late on the game would be nice

    Is what I'm hoping for.
     
    Ive been more confident for this game than the Chelsea and City matches.
    Fancy us for a 3-0 win.

    DDG

    Rafael
    Jones
    Smalling
    Shaw

    Herrera
    Blind
    Fellaini

    Di Maria
    Mata
    Rooney
     
    Play Blind, Mata, Herrera and Di Maria on the middle of the pitch and we will wipe the floor with them.

    -------------DDG-----------
    Rafael--Jones-Evans--Shaw
    ------------Blind-----------
    ------Herrera----ADM-------
    -------------Mata-----------
    ------Rooney--RvP---------
     
    To get the win against these realistically the only thing we need to do is tell blind to stick to Sanchez all game and just go everywhere Sanchez goes. Make a nuisance of himself, As far as I can see he is their only real threat.

    We should play our smaller men for this as arsenal are a very weak side physically. I'd like to see is go back to the diamond and play the same line up we did when we played that before. This is the sort of match Herrera and Di Maria and mata should thrive in


    2-1 United
     
    They couldn't beat us even under Moyes... we seem to have their number for years now. Would like to see Herrera, Carrick and Blind in midfield, with Mata, Rooney and AdM upfront. RVP and Adnan should really be on the bench.

    De Gea
    Rafael - Smalling - McNair - Shaw
    Herrera - Carrick - Blind
    Mata - Rooney - Di Maria​

    If we continue playing 4-5-1 I'd say 0-0, if we go back to the diamond it will be an open game... optimistic we can win which would give us a great platform to continue, as we have a couple of winnable home games coming up and our competitors for fourth place are struggling as well.
     
    No mucking around stopping to do step overs and faints, just run at Chambers like Montero did. Shaw and ADM should do him for pace easily.
     
    Don't think it's going to be a close game at all. 3 - 1 just don't know which team to.

    Normally I don't want any player to get injured, but I wouldn't mind Sanchez getting a cramp of some sorts in the pre-match warmup and therefore misses our game, and then is back.
     
    Koscielny has a chance to play in this, massive boost for us if he's back. Theo will be back and starting (bar no injuries due to internationals). Sick of Wenger playing the same players who haven't performed for months. Should Koscielny not be fit, he better just put Chambers in the center and play Bellerin at right back for feck sake.

    Szczesny
    Chambers Mertesacker Koscielny Gibbs
    Arteta Wilshere
    Walcott Alexis Chamberlain
    Welbeck​
     
    I think this could be another version of the City game. Two teams in poor form but the most in-form player wins the game.

    Advantage Arsenal - Alexis.

    I don't think Arsenal will win because they're better, but I think Sanchez stands out as a clear matchwinner. I hope Di Maria's blip is over, and I really hope this Fellaini experiment is over. Thanks for stopping us lose against Chelsea, but we need to win some games now.
     
    Someone tell Smalling not to play like a retard and 3 points will probably be in the bag. Still can't get over the fact we gifted 3 points to a woeful City side.
     
    Falcao shall be back for this game apparently he was asked by a fan when he will be back and he said for the Arsenal game so hopefully the conspiracy theories stop abno it being more than a knock in training as he is listed for 22nov along with jones, evans and Rafa so big boost considering Herrera has probally been rested so his 100% as well, if we can go the international break without any crucial injuries i feel will be good to go against arsenal and van gaal can put a decent team together. Having watched almost every Arsenal Game im pretty confident that we play better than them and more as a team, their outlet is Sanchez and OX if we can contain them than wellbeck is pretty useless as he relies on them two to feed him through balls to run on.

    international break couldnt have come at a better time considering we wouldnt have 4 or so players back if it wasnt there.
     
    Welbeck to score a hattrick, and you know it.
     
    I am backing van gaal 100%. But if he starts smalling I will have to lower it to 99%. Please not start smalling. Pretty please :angel:

    Maybe easier to leave him on the bench than hope for the best with him on the field. McNair is way better than him at this stage.

    There was one moment in the first half when Yannick Bolasie raced into the box and it looked for a second like McNair might dive in - like Chris Smalling did against City. But instead he stayed on his feet and shepherded Bolasie away from goal. It was a moment that made you forget he's only 19-years-old.
