We see it every week that fast proactive football wins over tippy tappy but sadly we will probably stick to the same shit we serve every week.Quote:

I'd be happy with a score draw but just can't see it wasn't impressed with the hull game .Just have zero confidence in wenger getting it right tactically,like someone said he hasn't got a bloody clue,it will be the same go out straight attackin football and get picked off by the counter,would prefer if he set up defending tacti. And let them come at us but it won't happen I predict 3.0
Depends really, certainly can't play any worse or get it any more wrong tactically than we did against PSG away and at home.
Although that said i wouldn't bank on Lewandowski missing the amount of chances that Cavani did (he was still at it last night).
If we see Giroud on the team sheet the season is over.
Like Lucas to be given a bit of game time I've been pretty impressed with what little we have seen of him
He's out.Quote:

They kept that quiet about Lucas, does explain why he's hardly been used of late
As recently as 2 hours ago he was available. He must have been injured brushing his teeth.Quote:

well he does seem like someone who probably has such an aggressively tufted tooth brush that the bristles could cut your cheek
He looks more like a Wop than a Spic, skin like old book bound leather, back of the hand red and marked from striking his wife.
tick tock - where's the team?

- our away record in knock out ties is win 5 drawn 5 lost 11
- In knockout competition Games in which we score first are won by us 72% of the time
Ornstein reckons Theo has been dropped to bench, hopefully it's for Welbeck not Giroud.
Or Sanogo.Quote:

No Cech, Monreal, Welbeck or Giroud.
FFS needed Welbz!!
Martin Keown seems to want to have his cake and eat it with Arsenal
He thinks Wenger should stay, but at the same time openly questions the clubs ability to win games like tonight
Surely if he wanted some greater coaching role at the club he would just be all sunshine and smiles
Ospina, Bellerín, Koscielny, Mustafi, Gibbs, Xhaka, Coquelin, Iwobi, Özil, Chamberlain, Alexis Sanchez
Well wonderful bottling by Wenger there
Can't drop Coquelin despite it being abundantly clear the poor lad is useless
Can't drop Ozil even though he's a ghost at the club
Can't take the risk of starting with Danny Welbeck
When has Xhaka and Coquelin ever worked?
Ox to save us.
Surely Elneny and Welbeck should be starting.
Bayern: Neuer - Lahm, Hummels, Martínez, Alaba - Xabi Alonso, Vidal - Robben, Thiago, Costa - Lewandowski.
:lol:
Dear me this could be grim.
I fear that midfield will have zero control and playing Iwobi means we're a man short to help play fast counter attacks.
No pace in defence or central midfield just like us.Quote:

Still could be worse, could have started with Monreal and Giroud
No pace with Alaba? Autocorrect wants to put it as Alabama. :lol:
I'd have started Welbz ahead of Iwobi.
That Bayern team though is quality, no weaknesses.
Central defence, Alaba is a full backQuote:

I would have started Welbeck instead of Ozil, played Iwobi through the centre, Welbz interchanging wide left and up top with Alexis.Quote:

Welbeck would have been the better choice by far. Defence and attack.Quote:
