Win Premier League: Arsenal 5 - 0 Nottingham Forest | Sunday 30th, October | KO: 14:00 GMT |

We just have to find a way to win this, not just win but win style. A statement performance. Need to reignite that fear factor again.

Prediction

Arsenal 2-0 Nottingham Forest

 

[SA Gunner]

Interesting game this, we need a quick turnaround after a lower standard of performances these last 2/3 games.

Think we’ll be ok though. A combination of teams hanging on defensively, denying us space more and attacking our last line whenever they can, has put a slight halt to our charge this season. In addition to the need to be more clinical upfront, do we need answers to performing so badly when teams remain so compact.

Let’s get the job done here, and kick onto the next week. 2-0 Arsenal.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

I don't see how persisting with the side that saw two below par performances in a row in the league can be a good thing, but we're not exactly spoiled for choice.

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

Excellent timing this. They are absolute dogshit, don't let that home-win over Liverpool fool you. Any team in the PL can lose a game against a bad team at their ground. It's happened even when we had the likes of Henry.

Nottingham Forest lost away to Wolves, who are in 19th place with 2 wins out of 12 games. They got slammed at Leicester 4-0. They lost at home to Fulham and Bournemouth, got smashed at the Etihad and to top it off, even Conte's ****s beat them 0-2 at their place.

There has never been a better game in the Premier League for us. They are ****, we are in need of some confidence.

4-0 to the Arsenal with 3 goals from Jesus and everyone wanking about him again afterwards.

Make or break. I am going to make a bold prediction here. Unless we take three points from this we won't end up in the top four or above Sp uds.

A disturbing pattern has been set over the past fortnight where we pay in the weekend for playing senior players in midweek. Last night only exacerbated this by ending up throwing the kitchen sink in stages at PSV only to find the sink was flabby and made no difference.

Need to break this cycle with a convincing win. Forest are poor enough for this to be possible bu they must be encouraged at the sight of Charity FC re-emerging and their own great performance against Liverpool. It really could go either way.

Talk about an overreaction.

If there were serious structural issues with our game, then we would have seen them come months ago. What has happened of late, happens to the best teams in the world because football is a dynamic sport. Trust that the management team are already analysing the issues that have popped up in recent weeks.

Relax, there is nothing to worry yourself about.

 

[Tom Mix]

Let's see. I hope for the best but I also look at the alternatives. I am sure the management team had also analyses the issues before yesterday's game.

It isn't being negative. If we can't beat Forest we won't beat Chelsea and that probably means we go into the world cup in 3rd place - which I'd have killed for at the beginning of the season - but if the roblem is the smallness of the squad well that isn't going to go away in December, and neither is the management of resources.

Just like we couldnt beat Southampton last season, but could beat Chelsea away the very next game.

Football isnt as clear cut as you think. There are many contributing factors that go into a performance, and what makes a good or bad one. The closest indicator of whether we will perform well or not in a game, is the players available and their form going into the game, and that is still vague. Anything beyond that and you are literally guessing and making calls based on vibes.

 

[Macho]

Lez fuggin win this guize

 

[BergMan]

I saw their game against Liverpool. They weren’t particularly good, Liverpool was bad. Forest’s defending on set pieces was awful, we can get joy there.

 

[14Henry]

Must win game. At this stage I will take the 3 points however they come, but ideally I'd like to see a huge reaction and a convincing win.

Drop points here and we are in trouble in the sense of letting those teams who are going through a form of transition (United, Chelsea and arguably Newcastle) close the gap further.

These are teams who are likely to throw big money at it again in January.

Need mimium of 7 points from our next 3 league games.

 

[Riou]

2-0 Arsenal...



...Jesus with both.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

No compliancy and also would be nice to back being be clinical. And not have 15 attempts go by.

People overreacting for no reason about yesterday result yes wasn't our top level performance even mikel admit that but that what happen when you play 9 games in October and just depend on 16 players the level will drop.

It isn't just about yesterday. The performance against Leeds and Soton were poor.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Agreed but only yesterday the defensive performance was too poor most top teams struggling to be fair so i really can't expect 8/10 performance every game specially away from home

 

[sergio_giorgini]

Got a bad feeling about this yuna. Might give this one a miss and go for an afternoon stroll through Hyde park instead and hope for the best.

 

[14Henry]

Yeah we were always going to drop points or lose. But against Leeds that second half we were destroyed. And only for Bamford we would have drew or lost that match.

Soton again poor. And last night too.

So we have put in 3 poor performances on the bounce. 4 points from 9. That's poor.

We're only just 1/4 of the way into the season & you're making these kind of predictions ?

Have a word with yourself mate.

 

[db10_therza]

So Gabriel is fit to play?

 

[bergholt]

So Gabriel is fit to play?

To be fair he’s one of the most replaceable players in the team considering we have 4.5 good enough centre-backs.
