Koscielny was a doubt but he was involved in training today, so I'm assuming he is fit to start. Gibbs is out, obviously.

Wenger said he would consider taking Mertesacker along. Maybe a game for experienced players like Rosicky and Giroud.

I'll guess 1-1.

Marc Overmars

Hopefully we get the job done here like we did in the first leg qualifier last year.

1-3

Should have enough to see of Besitkas even with resting a few players.


Chesney

Debauchy
Chambers
Mertesacker
Monreal

Flamini
Wilshere
Rosicky

Ox
Campbell
Giroud


Subs: Martinez, Kosicenly, Arteta, Ramsey, Sanchez, Santi, Sanogo,


Won't happen as getting the CL means too much but it would be nice to see Wenger use the entire squad.

I went there for a mates wedding. Lovely place, lovely kebabs and you get used to the heat.

I don't like all this constant 'doubt' over one of the main CB's. We will be down to Monreal playing there soon!

Master Splinter

If they play like a 100mph Championship team and pump the ball up to Ba early on from set-pieces, I could see them getting some joy while we're missing Mertesacker. If we control the game though and actually pass at a decent level, it should be pretty comfortable. We can't risk starting at a slow pace though and making it unnecessarily hard for ourselves. Play Ox and Sanchez and be direct. No need to pack the midfield again.

1-3 (Ramsey, Bif, Wilshere).

Injury Time
19-08-2014, 07:01 AM
1-1 Sanogo with both

Depends where you were - my folks have a place in Istanbul if you were European side its Ok - if you were Asian side then you would have been the kebab.
I take it your are complaining that I didn't include Merts. This is because I didn't think he would travel. However when we play teams this year with quick forwards I would not put him in the team.

We have played 6 qualifying ties in this competition, we have played 12 games and won them all, I expect it to be the same tonight.


I was in a Def Leppard covers band with Slaven Bilic when he was working in Russia, did a version of Rocket that would set your teeth on edge

Marc Overmars
19-08-2014, 03:36 PM
Why wouldn't you play Merts against teams with pacey forwards? I don't really recall any game last season where I thought, yeah he really struggled against this player. In the games we got pumped I'd point to the midfield more as the reason, because sloppy passes and a lack of intensity lead to waves of pressure on the back 4.

First 45 mins were always going to be difficult. It's the biggest game of Bestikas season - they're always going to be up for it and chase and harry us from the blocks.


See out the first half, silence the crowd and then score a few in the second half like we did last year.

These are the type of games we need a bit of pace up top to run into any space that opens up. A static striker slows the pace and makes everything comfortable for the opposition.

HT lucky to not be a goal down.

We're the better team but Giroud has fucked up everything that has come near him and he's started quite a few of the turks breaks. Alexis doing well out wide but Giroud is nowhere to be found. Monreal not as bad as usual, doing okay so far.

Marc Overmars

This is why footie is so bent. The turks have been fouling all night, our lot booked for everything. Corrupt cunt of a ref and UEFA letting these turk cunts carry on doing what they do, on and off the field. Fucking amazing they are allowed to play in the same league as civilised nations.

We've got the ball into the danger areas but to be fair to Giroud he's snuffed out every threat. Hard to put anything together when the guy up top is a rubber statue.

There would be no room for Giroud who absolutely must play the whole 90 mins, for some reason.

Santi off, Rosicky on. Another pretty pointless like for like sub. Wenger remains way too concerned about energy levels rather than tactics or countering/ exploiting to the opposition.

A silly sending off, could have easily been avoided.

Having said that, I think the Ref is really buckling to the pressure of the home crowd. Giving them everything he can whilst denying us as much as possible.

Pathetic non-effort from Giroud - didn't even challenge the defender, just gave it up.
