Steed and/or Zenden have to start and lets see what Riveros can do for all the money he's being paid to warm the bench I think he'll do well against the Arsenal style of play.Jordan is a problem for me-if he's not RM then leave him out as he can't hack it as CM
 
sussex mackem - agreed, if jordan plays it's right midfield, games have been passing him by in the middle. i'd go with onuoha/mensah/bramble/bardsley, and play five across the middle - muntari and riveros playing deeper, and then two wide men and one behind gyan, a combination of sessegnon, richardson and malbranque. i think zended has his uses in matches like this too, i'd like to see him get a good run out. wouldn;t surprise me to see malbranque played in the middle with muntari, and elmohamady on the right wing though.

Ok, we not only lost but worse, we did nothing to show any reason why we deserved to win, so what does Bruce do.

Change the team

Well he has a few choices but with it still a little early for our injured players he does not have a lot of options. What would you do, assuming Dordon and Ned are fit but Turner, Catts,Welbeck and Campbell are out.

Change Formation.

Birmingham played with a 5 man defence and one up front, it worked for them but we have tried it twice and it sure as hell did not work for us. What would yoiu do?

Find some balls and go out and stuff them. The performance against Everton was woeful and if their are options for some players who are currently not in form e.g. Hendo sub them

Aye Wilshire looks a good prospect and not averse to sticking his foot in!
I just wish he wouldn't whine like the rest of the Arsenal team when they get it back. :)

Reminds me I was watching the final with my son, Cliche kicked the ball away so he could get back into defence.
I said to my son if that had been the other way round Arsenal would have been all over the ref to get him booked.
Must have been five minutes later a Brum player kicked the ball away 3 Arsenal players straight at the ref and the Brum player booked. :(

Agree about Wiltshire which leads me to think, why can't Henderson do the same? we gfo on about Henderson being a young lad and yet here's a kid younger than Hendo and imo is far superior. Sort of nullifies the argument.

Possibly Arsenal may play with only a few first teamers as their next match us is away to Barcelona

What and get fined by the FA for fielding a weakened side!!!!

Ooops sorry it's Arsenal we are talking about that only happens if your club is called something like Blackpool or Wolverhampton Wanderers!
 
Smokeys right! Attack Attack Attack! Their next game against Barca will be on their minds. They're bound to rest front-line players, so I think we've got play ugly get in their faces and not let them rest for a second. I usually don't like the idea of playing ugly but we have to break the run we are on!

i think wilshere is far more natural playing in the middle. he's comfortable on the ball with limited space, uses it well, and likes to get stuck in. henderson i think often looks pressed for time and space when he's in the middle, so he makes "safety first" passes. he's a natural wide midfielder, better at running down the wing and pinging crosses in, as well as not having to stick his foot in as much.

reckon henderson would win in a fight though.

Henderson should be taken out of the firing line before his confidence goes for good and we lose a promising although immature player
 
Hope they all have travel sickness. man flu anything. this ARSENAL are a good team, I love to watch them, but this game I dont want to watch, but will be compelled to , another CHEALSKI.................................I wish.
 
We need to get stuck in from the off. Press them high up the pitch and use the ball well when we get it. Simples really!
Henderson is only good for RM. Zenden is injured. Why not give Riveros a run out? He can hardly do any worse than the rest.
I don't care if we lose (well I do really) but what I want to see is some belief and plenty of fight. They've got a massive game on Tuesday so this could be a great time to play them. Keep the faith
