which right back would you start against stoke?

Post by brazilianGOONER »

i'm a brazilian, and brazilians don't like defending fullbacks who cannot attack. in the land of roberto carlos and daniel alves i like the wingbacks who can run at defenders and help wingers do their jobs. with eboué's current form, i'd like to know your opinion.

important to note that we'll need to be tight at the back against stoke, but as well we seem to be lacking players who have a go at the defenders, so who would you start?

i'm an attacking football lover, so i'd try eboué again.

Sagna without a doubt.

Eboue would let Etherington have a field day down our right hand side.

Think Ethrington is injured at the moment and hopefully will still be next Saturday, now if Delap could dislocate his shoulder !!!!

Trouble is with Eboue at RB is that he will have Sagna on the bench, then put Sagna on and push Eboue up to RW where he is less effective in an attempt to be "more attacking"

Etherington wont play.....although quite why we should fear this bollocks of an ex **** beats me...Stoke are fucking shite and we are Arsenal, why the fuck are we scared of them?

I watched the Wenger interview last night and when it was asked of him about Stoke away next week, i swear i saw his eyes flicker in a manner that suggested he was dreading the trip.

How can we batter a side 4-0 and 2-0 at home yet shit our pants when we go to their hole?
So their fans are crunts....and their football (haha) philosophy is bollocks...we are the Arsenal and if we have any chance of even stealing the title as one of the worst sides ever to wear the shirt, next week we MUST go kick some fucking Arse and bust up those thug wankers.......

and to do that Sagna must sit on the bench

I'd play both. Sagna at RB and Eboue at right midfield.

Yeah what he said. :)

It would be tough on Eboue to leave him out after his performance yesterday.

Eboue was superb yesterday, i still maintain that he is the best player in the squad at running forward with the ball and driving at the defence. We can all see he needs a bit more composure, but there is no doubt he caused endless problems for Sunderland yesterday and we have been lacking that with Sagna in recent weeks.

However, Sagna is the better defender and is also good in the air, so against Stoke i would start him.

I would actually like to see Eboue at left back.

Because Ethrington is a decent leftwinger who has caused us trouble before? Stoke, at home, are a difficult side to play against, they may not be pretty but they cause teams problems. If they had better strikers or any sort of away form, they would probably be pushing for Europe. We aren't scared of them as such but we acknowledge that it is one of those places where you go and if you get 3 points, celebrate and forget the performance
