CL: Arsenal v FC Basel, Wednesday 28th Sept, 7.45pm, BTS3

[Kano]

Should be quite a straight forward run out.

Get Elneny out there against his old boys and Xhaka to scrote up his brother.

[Marc Overmars]

Got a free ticket for this.

Should be a comfortable win with the form we're in really.

2-0.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Not that we can take this as a given but I really would like to see some of our squad players like Giroud, Gabriel and Elneny be given some time in this game. We should be able to beat Basle at home without Ozil and Alexis tbh.

Ospina

Bellerin
Mustafi
Gabriel
Gibbs

Elneny
Xhaka
Ox

Akpom
Lucas
Giroud

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Meh, far more interested in match day three to be honest

23 more sleeps until Cosmin Moti!

Hopefully we go in a bit stronger than that and I think we will. We've had our fingers burnt before underestimating lesser teams and that's with a full line-up. Zagreb, Anderlecht and Olympiacos are all worth remembering. With the toughest away match out of the way in Paris, we need to make the most of these games. Although knowing our luck even if we do finish top of our group, Barca and Bayern will conspire to finish second in theirs and we'll still draw them in the next round.

Agreed. Play the strongest team, get points on the board.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Agreed, on the board, on the table and in the bank.

Yeah resting players has never really been a useful exercise for us. At the moment we're confident and playing well, no need to try anything different.

[fakeyank]

I want to see Lucas play as a striker. Giroud can wait to come on in the 70th minute. This would be my team:

Ospina

Bellerin Gabriel Mustafi Monreal

Santi Elneny Xhaka

Ox Lucas Theo

[fakeyank]

Oh, and this will be a 0-3 loss.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

I think we're obliged to make 2 or 3 changes and I'd make even more..... But I've little idea what sort of team Basle are. If we keep giving practically no game time to both Giroud and Perez it will haunt us when we actually need them through injury to start and perform.

Nobody's going to get Alexis to slow down so it's on us to ensure he does not get injured.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Colombian Short order cook, Gibbs, Gabriel, Mustafi, Bellerin, Elneny, Xhaka, Iwobi, Ox, Perez, Giroud

Rest Sanchez, Cazorla and Ozil

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

I would go with that though I'd be tempted to replace Gabs with Holding...

[Kano]

Ozil and Alexis have to start and I think they will too. I don't get the point of resting them in important games when the season is so young.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

I look more closely at the time between games as a factor rather than just the timeline of the season and I genuinely think the team above starting would have enough. Ozil and Alexis may have an impact off the bench.

I think if you accept before the season a dedicated 11 won't be able to play 60 games (for various physical reasons) then the season theoretically becomes an exercise in managing the process and leaving less to chance as the season is in progress. The other argument is the idea that we cannot win the CL anyway, though it is not a position I like to take up myself even if it rings true....

[Kano]

I think both ring true at the moment in terms of gaps inbetween games and overall schedule for the season. They had a week off last week, and playing every few days right now shouldn't be an issue. Basel will be tougher proposition than Burnley I think and if anything, if anyone needs to take a break do it on the weekend, but not the main two. Then there's another sodding international break where they have 4/5 days inbetween games. The only one really at risk there - as always - is Alexis because he comes back on a Thursday from the other side of the world. I get the feeling Wenger won't mess around this season with the CL in terms of outfield players (famous last words I know) but as usual, it won't count for much if the mentality isn't right in the four games against the two lesser teams. Deep down us fans know we won't win the CL but the players have to step onto the pitch every single time believing they are step closer to a trophy of some sort.

[Marc Overmars]

Get the big guns to do the damage then take them off I say.

Make some changes over the course of the Ludogorets double header, that should be 6 points whatever team we put out really. Basel have given some PL teams plenty of trouble in Europe in recent memory, so let's just ensure we get the job done and keep riding this wave of confidence.

Plus we play Burnley in the late game on Sunday, no concern about recovery time really.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

I think it is an opportunity (try not laugh) for Giroud to show he should be the first choice CF as Alexis being there is still a point of contention at this moment in time. Same would go for Perez.

Had we started the season with Giroud at CF, him playing CF in this game probably would not have been deeply questioned though you can argue Alexis should be somewhere on the field in any case.

In a sense there is a bigger argument to start our first choice Cb's than drop Ozil and Alexis as they cover less ground from game to game and may go a longer way in ensuring we don't make mistakes.

lol....you might have changed my mind now! Never realised it was Sunday and ignored the fact the other team is Ludogorets. Also Wenger could say to them go and blaze them in 45 so I can take you off!....but he won't

[Niall_Quinn]

Send out the same team that walloped the chavs. We're at the opening of a season, if any of this lot are tired already then get rid. Let's get some momentum going for a change.

[fakeyank]

Ozil and Alexis have to start and I think they will too. I don't get the point of resting them in important games when the season is so young.

I dont think CL games are important games. We know we will get knocked out soon. We really should be putting all our eggs in the PL and FA Cup baskets.

[Kano]

I dont think CL games are important games. We know we will get knocked out soon. We really should be putting all our eggs in the PL and FA Cup baskets.

The CL is very important to the players. And for a club our size, we should treat it as such too.

[Gooner23]

Strongest team for me. I wouldn't mind seeing Elneny in there alongside Xhaka though.

[pakgunner]

Strongest team for me. I wouldn't mind seeing Elneny in there alongside Xhaka though.
I agree, these two should play most of our cup games with Cazorla coming in the odd occasion for rotation. Building a midfield foundation to suit all the players for a long season. Ramsey can also be in the mix once he's had enough matches under his belt.
PL: Xhaka , Santi, Ozil
Cup: LeCoq, Elneny, Ramsey
UCL: Xhaka, Santi, Ozil or Elneny, Xhaka, Ozil

[Goonermerree]

Come on Arsenal. More of the same from Saturday please.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Bizarrely we're being forced to play in Yellow at home tonight. :unsure:

As strong a line up as we have really. Barring the 'keeper. Nice to see. Giroud, nowhere to be seen!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Giroud is suspended.

Basel: Vaclik, Traore, Balanta, Xhaka, Suchy, Lang, Bjarnason, Zuffi, Fransson, Doumbia, Steffen.

[radford78]

Yep, remember that now

[adzzzbatch]

Even Wrighty is regurgitating what we were being told on Saturday; that chelski were just poor :rolleyes:

[Goonermerree]

Run it by me again why we have to play in yellow, when they are in all white

[adzzzbatch]

GET IN!!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

We just steamrollered them. Again, positive, fast, direct. Let's just keep doing that shall we?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

THEO!!!!

[Power n Glory]

Walcott!

[Niall_Quinn]

Run it by me again why we have to play in yellow, when they are in all white

Their all white kit clashes with our home kit.

True story.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Did Wenger airhead it before it went in? :lol:

[Goonermerree]

Wally with his head!!!! He's;like a new signing.

[adzzzbatch]

His attitude looks to have improved

[Niall_Quinn]

It was quite a good goal I suppose, but most of it was down to bad Chelsea defending.

Since Alexis secured the CF spot Walcott has never been in the box so often. Really weird seeing players in the box when crosses come in. I like it.

I agree!!!

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Theo :bow:

Always rated him.

[adzzzbatch]

We seem to be pressing, I like it!

[adzzzbatch]

Walcott :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo defending from the corner. :blink:

[Goonermerree]

I think Theo found it hard not getting into the Euro squad.

[Niall_Quinn]

They can't handle Alexis, Walcott or Bellerin.

[Power n Glory]

Sanchez! Jeez. Great play. So unlucky.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Suchy booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stunning pass from Theo back out to Cazorla.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No goals or nods to other games please.

[adzzzbatch]

YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

[Thierrymon]

Walcott!

[Niall_Quinn]

This is good stuff. Like watching a different team. Alexis is on fire.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

THEO!!!!!

Great goal.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

THEO!!

[adzzzbatch]

BRILLIANT!!

[GP]

What a goal!

[Master Splinter]

Theo :bow:.

Alexis :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo can't be too far away from his 100th goal for us now.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Theo really is a new person this season.

[Goonermerree]

Come on Theo, get your hat trick

[Niall_Quinn]

That's a pen :haha:

Fuck off! 2 pens maybe.

[adzzzbatch]

Should've been a pen

[Thierrymon]

Probably should of been a penalty to us tbh.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

What the fuck ref?

[Power n Glory]

Sanchez and Walcott turning into quite a pair.

[Munchies]

FEO FEO

SIGN DA TINGGG

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great idea from Özil but just too much height on it for Alexis.

[Niall_Quinn]

What kind of a fucking decision was that? Penalty all day long and the ref's there, staring at it. Gives nothing. Is there a rule that says you can't give the pen when the fouling team is losing? No. Didn't think so.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Score one more pls guys and then take off Alexis and Ozil. :coffee:

[adzzzbatch]

Very happy with this performance so far!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Score one more pls guys and then take off Alexis and Ozil. :coffee:

Alexis will shit on Wenger's coat if he does that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mustafi. :bow:

[adzzzbatch]

oooooooooooooooooooooo damn!!

[Niall_Quinn]

Wow, great move. So unlucky there.

[adzzzbatch]

This is like The Arsenal of old! :bow:

[Globalgunner]

Alexis screwing up the end of a symphony

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant football, Alexis should've buried it though.

[Master Splinter]

Almost goal of the decade there.

FFS Alexis.

[Thierrymon]

That would have been some goal.

[fakeyank]

Cant wait to fly in this season and experience this new Arsenal! :dancingman:

[adzzzbatch]

Keep it up boys!!

[Power n Glory]

That should of been a goal. This reminds me of the champagne football we used to play.

[adzzzbatch]

Cant wait to fly in this season and experience this new Arsenal! :dancingman:

Oi! you've been told already!

[Niall_Quinn]

Massive foul on Santi which the ref saw again. Come on you muppet, that's a yellow.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

:threaten::threaten:

Don't even step on British soil.

[Niall_Quinn]

[GP]

I will literally murder you.

[Power n Glory]

This is like The Arsenal of old! :bow:

It's just relentless. When we used to create chance after chance and the missed chances could have been goal of the season contenders.

[adzzzbatch]

FFS! Come on destroy them!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bellerin unlucky.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Scintillating stuff.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ozil :doh:
Should be 4 or 5 now.

[Master Splinter]

Ozil :doh:.

Should be 5-0 now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Özil misses and it wasn't close.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

FFS another chance wasted. Ozil!

Need to put this to bed.

[GP]

How have we not scored 12?

[Niall_Quinn]

It's just relentless. When we used to create chance after chance and the missed chances could have been goal of the season contenders.

Direct. High tempo. Ambitious. Fearless. And above all - FORWARD. Like we used to play.

Something has happened prior to the chav match. It's as if every player has been let off a leash. No complaints if we continue to play like this. And we must.

[Master Splinter]

Walcott's touch, link play and passing has been flawless.

When he's fit and confident, he's a completely different player.

[Power n Glory]

Theo:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Elneny and Ox on for Iwobi and Theo.

[Niall_Quinn]

Only Wenger would do that. Take off a player who is finally playing well and on a hattrick.

[Goonermerree]

Come on Ox, get some form

[Power n Glory]

What have we done? Shifted Ozil wide?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monreal. :haha:

[Power n Glory]

Only Wenger would do that. Take off a player who is finally playing well and on a hattrick.

Walcott needs to be managed carefully. Whene he goes on a such a streak we lose him to injury and never comes back the same.

[Niall_Quinn]

Gibbs for Monreal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monreal coming off for Gibbs apparently.

[Power n Glory]

Sanchez needs a rest but Wenger is too scared to take him off. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Walcott needs to be managed carefully. Whene he goes on a such a streak we lose him to injury and never comes back the same.

It's completely fucking stupid to take off a confidence player when his confidence is high and the goals are going in. Walcott could get injured by bumping into a blade of grass. Could have happened had he stayed on, could happen just as easily in the first minute of the next game. We've gotten so little return out of the guy over the years that you milk every second he's on form, not bench him.

[adzzzbatch]

bored now...

[Goonermerree]

Back to flipping tippy tappy

[adzzzbatch]

Ozil :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

We're in classic fuck up territory now. One trip in the box, a slip, a fluke and the pressure is on. We should never, ever take our foot off the gas because we're just no good at closing games down.

[Goonermerree]

Has Ox touched the ball, I haven't heard his name mentioned

[adzzzbatch]

Ouch!

As said, the last time we saw Theo play like this was the season he scored 20+ goals. The following season he came back strong but picked up that injury that kept him out for a year.

[Niall_Quinn]

Crowd doing Ole :doh:

Shut the fuck up! Eat your sandwiches.

PEN?

No. FK on the edge of the box.

The first half was super enjoyable. Then that cock Wenger stuck his oar in.

Ox :doh: FFS!

Not really. We came out all guns in the second half before it fizzled out.

death, taxes and opposing keepers giving their best ever performance.

FT 2-0

The most ridiculous 2-0 ever. Should have been 12-0.

Football exactly as we should be playing it in the first half. For the second half Wenger AGAIN sticks his nose in and ruins the flow. I think there's good money to be made on betting we won't score in the second half if we are two or more up from the first half.

Well done the team, more of that please.

Wenger Out!

We stopped pressing and we dropped the tempo. I'm sure it's some green football drive where we try to conserve energy.

Only caught the last ten minutes, pedestrian but totally in control and actually was impressed that we worked hard to win back the ball.

Looked confident in eachother

You missed our best half of football in years.

Still had a few very good chances in the 2nd half. Great performance.
