Sagna out for them. Podolski might be in the squad. Most people reckon Chezzy will be a straight swap for Davies, otherwise unchanged. Fryatt also apparently in the squad that's travelled. Arsenal have won all 5 home league games since losing to Villa on day 1 and have conceded only once in their last 6 in all comps. Going to be a tough one. I'd take a 1-0 win now but hoping for 2 or 3. Meyler first goal.
I quite like it. Play Graham behind Sagbo, get him to stay central and burst into the box while Sagbo works the channels.
I just thought Gedos pace and directness might have been a huge asset on the counter in a game like this.
True, but that's an option for the 2nd half against tired legs. Graham can focus on staying central, always providing an option up the middle and a target for crosses - he's not fast so no point sending him down the wings. Sagbo can use his pace and strength to pull defenders to both flanks as he did against Liverpool but this time have someone tasked with getting into scoring positions created. That's how I envision it, anyhow. I guess it might end up just as one left, one right, both pulling out wide and still no one in the middle which for me would be less effective. We'll have to see how it plays.
One thing about keeping Liverpool quiet was having 9 outfielders back to keep them out. Will one of Graham or Sagbo drop right back and defend or will they play as a front pair?
