Arsenal Matchday Thread

[Contrarian]

Well, it's a different approach, that's for sure. Could get a 1-1 goal fest at this rate.

 

[wolvesjoe]

That's a team going for a win for sure.

As a big fan of the back five system, I am a little concerned with Coady being found out.

 

[Netherton Wolf]

Trying something different, lets hope it pays off

 

[S G Wolves]

Definitely looks a back 4

 

[Alienwolf]

Certain sites indicating that it’s a back 3, with Marcel at CB & Neto at LWB.

*Marcal

 

[RosehillWolf]

Marcal is a weak link for me and Kiliman desperately unlucky to be benched
Interesting

 

[old wittonian]

I was there too! Lived in Islington at that time!

Did you go with Jeremy ?

 

[Darvo]

I can’t quite work out who’s playing where.

 

[JOSWolf]

Podence as a no10 tonight?

 

[Bugsy911]

I'm pretty confident be we will concede certainly can't giveaway the chances we did against Southampton.

 

[Deleted member 9202LYK]

Must be difficult to plan how to play us now. Which can’t be a bad thing...

 

[NewarkWolf]

If we are playing 4231 no need for Dendoncker imo. Neves and Moutinho is fine

Neves was absolute pony v saints.

 

[MasWolf]

Unlucky for Kilman. I do think he's been our best defender of late. However, a very attacking team, which is what Nuno wants for us. Let's give Arsenal a good game today!

 

[Sketchead]

Back 4 with Coady worries me.

Hope i am proven wrong, come on wolves!

Poor Kilman...not put a foot wrong

Kilman dropping way too deep and being out of position gave Saints two sitters last week to be fair. They just fluffed them both rather than making us pay.

Interesting for us to go for it in this way. Very risky as we won’t be in control without the ball by holding back like we usually are.

Potential to do damage up front but let’s see.

 

[AndyWolves]

Adama is due a performance

 

[Wolvessince63]

This is going to be very interesting

 

[Fenrir_]

Am I the only person who noticed Kilman play Walcott onside twice for big chances by being yards deeper than the rest of the defence? If we were sticking with a four and Coady was coming back it was always going to be Kilman who missed out. Not entirely his fault, all his training as a pro will have been in a three but without the organisation from Coady it is very much throwing him in at the deep end if you keep him in in a four

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

I have no idea how we are setting up today. Not the team I would have picked but what do I know. Harsh on Kilman.

 

[Aimless Balls]

4 something something, eh? Probably?

 

[SA Wolf]

Interesting line up. Will we go with a back 4 or 3 with wing backs? Attacking midfield and attack which lots have been calling for, but is it the right personnel. Bench looks very inexperienced with the exception of Neves.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Fair play with that selection. Might go horribly wrong but I appreciate the ballsiness

Not quite sure how you have decided Marcal is a weak link.

He hasn't played much for us yet, when he has he looked solid ... And last year was playing in the Champions League Semi Final for a team that knocked Man City out along the way.

 

[Fenrir_]

Indeed! Despite the graphic saying otherwise!

amazed we have dumped the 3!

Never know, we could actually set up like that graphic! That'd throw 'em!!

He's played about 2 games for us, how have you worked that out??

You are not, it was more than twice he was miles behind the rest of our defenders aswell, inexperience and a new system as you allude to.

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

Hi Kashmire, thanks for starting this thread but your use of English is puzzling! 'I wouldn't have bunch of how to predict this one'???
'A chance to strike the iron whilst hot is there' ???? and your last sentence makes absolutely no sense whatsoever! On reading your post several times I think I know what you're trying to say but you write like you talk - too quick!!!!!

Talking too quick? If someone on a forum, has the audacity to try and mock one it’s members - through a different way to stating things, really makes this place as toxic as it seems. Seriously get a grip!

 

[Deleted member 4184]

The Wolves Social Media team are ****, they can't be ***** to change their formation template so they just throw the players in to suit their template.

Amateur hour...

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Come on!!!!

 

[JOSWolf]

I am excited at the line up but still ****ting myself if that makes sense!

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

Confirmed on the Wolves App as a 4-2-3-1, with Podence playing at CAM

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

Looks more of a back 3 with Neto and Semedo WBs to me
Very ballsy selection,well we have been asking for it i guess

 

[Golden_Wolf]

Podence as a no10 tonight?

Has to be. Maybe interchanges with Neto at times but could be a real threat there.

Fuming I've sacked him & Jiminez off in my FPL after seeing that line up

I got rid of jimi. Ffs

arsenal have changed from 3 4 3 to 4 2 3 1 so both sides are matched up

a great shame because they are ****ing **** with 3 at the back

Yeah, weak as ****.

Hi Kashmire. Ignore any negative comments. Nobody should criticise anyone who has the balls to appear on the after match calls. It’s very easy to criticise those that try these things whilst not taking part themselves.

 

[Deleted member 7862Bler]

Hope Adama does well. Nuno certainly giving him his chance the last couple of games. Think Nuno is desperate for him to come good again

 

[WV10Wolf]

4-2-3-1 then. Here we ****ing go!

 

[Tojo the grass]

If Neto, Podence and Traore have licence to mix things up that could be excellent, they will need to be all on the same wavelength though.

 

[Chisels_n_ommers]

Raul can play right on Luiz in this line up.

And when they try and play it out at the back like they try to do, or use Luiz for their out ball (like we do with Coady) we can really press the #####s with this formation.
