EPL - Arsenal v Wigan Athletic - Mon 16th Apr 8:00pm - SS1

[OohtobeaGoonerGal]

We have a Monday night kick-off for our next PL game and now that we've dispatched Wolves as expected we need to keep that focus for another game where we will be heavy favourites.
I've just seen now that Wigan have beaten Man Utd, so they will come at us with confidence, I would think.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Very confident of us at home these days. As long as the teams stays focused and puts in the right effort we should win.

Wigan are playing well of late but we should have too much, a chance as well to go 8 points clear of Sp**s, we cannot slip up, it's that simple.

 

[OohtobeaGoonerGal]

we need to rest some players.

You think that team you've put there could be described as resting "some players"? Or do you mean for the 2nd half? Even if we play well in the 1st half I don't like to presume we can finish a team in that half alone...

:mrgreen: I mean if we lead 2-0 or 3 at first i hope we rest some players then.

 

[clockwork orange]

Enough time to rest, best team should start and take this very serious. We have a gap, but it's with 3 clubs and 1 of them could win their remaining 5. Wigan are fighting for their lives, playing reasonably well and just had a great psychological boost. Press them like there's no tomorrow from kick off says I.

 

[AnthonyG]

Think we should make ferrari the designated OMT starter.

Now that Wigan's blown their wad on ManU, time they rolled over to us.

 

[Vela]

I think Yossi will start as he can't play against Chelsea which is the game after this one.

 

[Airknight]

Djourou was good today, that gives me enough confidence to say we won't have much trouble getting the 3 points.

 

[Kingslayer]

Is this right...3 wins and 2 draws out of our last 5 games should guarantee us third place?

We need to win this one so the Chelsea and Stoke games aren't too stressful.

Yep, we're 5 clear so 2 draws= 4 points lost, which would be enough to secure 3rd.

Over the years I've made more Matchday threads than I care to remember, it's been a while since I was here so I made one for old times sake
Nothing wrong with being the quickest... :angel

 

[AnthonyG]

Hey, if we win you're back in business! (Even if they're not as pretty).

 

[dysphoria]

moses seems he could be a tough player to defend against when he's up for it, was good against chelsea and was absolutely great today against yanited, very strong and pacey, always drifts all around the park, he might cause us some problems down our left considering santos seems to be unfit and lacking sharpness.

The smart money would be for them to defend with 11 behind the ball and hope to hit us on the counter but martinez always sets his teams out to attack and play football, if we play too high a line, we could get caught because they have plenty of pacey players and considering they like to play with a back 3, i hope wenger starts with a proper wide player on the left instead of ramsey because we really need to use width to stretch them to exploit gaps.

rosicky for ramsey in the center, yossi on the left, if he's tired, start ox and theo on the flanks, we'll need to be strong to get 3 points here, they'll definitely give us a harder game then city or wolves.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

yep wigan is improving good team i think they will attacking when they come at emirates our defense must be careful and everything will be ok.

 

[Vela]

We have to start a high tempo and press Wigan all over the pitch. Similar to how we started against Man City last weekend.

 

[Bossa]

We shouldnt underestimate them.
