Ok, what are your tactics?

Do we try to outplay Arsenal?
Do Wes and Redmond have to track back?
Do we play to win or go for a draw?
Are Howson and Brady allowed to attack?
Who tracks their full backs who attack at every oportunity?
Do we pass to Wes at every oportunity or do we look to get crosses in to Jerome?
Do we hit the balls down the channels for Jerome and Redmond to chase?

That isn't a bad line-up but there are many many things to tactically think about. My guess is AN's first thoughts will be to stop Arsenal scoring therefore maybe having both Wes and Redmond leaves up expossed?

probably our best chance to score against Arsenal would be from a sey piece? That why I guess Mbokani will start. He is also affective away from home at holding the ball up when we have to go long.
