Three fit defenders. 2-0 Dortmund. One more season of mismanagement to suffer.
1-1
1-2 to us. Sanchez and Ramsby with our goals.
We've got to start winning games and getting into the habit again, so why not start tonight.
Difficult to judge this one, not sure how good Dortmund are this season, we did win last season but didn't they dominate but fail to take their chances?
I think we'll get a draw at best.
Dortmund did dominate last year & could have been out of sight, Rambo nicked the points for us - We tried the same tactics in the final game at Napoli & very nearly went out of the competition. We aren't good enough to keep the likes of Palace & Leicester out defensively so its pointless playing defensive against good teams - we simply don't have the players to do it. We have a dodgy defense with 2 of the leagues worst defensive midfielders. I'm afraid that the team Wumger has built can only do 1 thing which is go forward - if he tries to play any other way we are fucked.
:popcorn:
Szczesny; Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs; Arteta, Ramsey, Wilshere; Alexis, Ozil, Welbeck
Arsenal subs: Ospina, Chambers, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla, Campbell, Podolski
if Chambers is fit enough to play (i.e makes the bench) should he not be starting?
Thoughts
- Glad to see Flamini finally out of the team.
- Props to Wenger for giving Bellerin a chance. We need to preserve Chambers.
- Disappointing that he's not rotating more names. We've got immense depth in the midfield and attack yet it's practically the same lineup as Saturday. We need to make full use of the squad if we want to do well in both the league and CL. Would have brought in Santi, Rosicky and the Ox myself.
- Santi :rose:
We can't afford to play all thee CB's in one game, really. Not sure about starting Bellerin away from home on such a big occasion. Why not play Coquelin or Flamini at wingback?Quote:
