How to fight Arsenal?

I reccomend either ending their unbeaten record, getting their niggly captain sent off or beating them in the league cup final.

Either of those three gaurantee them picking a fight with your team.

Go first notch direct global passing, and quick tempo, which is the opposite of what they do. It should work, but save it before you play them.

against arsenal you obviously have to defend fairly deep. However, the quality of their players will kill you if you are too defensive. I always Close down quite heavily against them to ensure they don't have time to work their magic. Hard tackle Fabregas and man mark henry tightly. You could also try man marking their whole midfield if you don't already.

Those few things usually bring me some sucess

I usually just keep to my 4-4-2 diamond

i also cant beat arsenal.

they just seem impossible, best result ive had against them is 1-1. Man marking henry doesnt work because he is just too good. Nothing, and i mean NOTHING seems to work against them.

It's no use having a squad full of star players without a decent way for them to play their football.
