1-2.
0-3
0-3 Ozil hattrick
Building on from Stoke 1-0 little bit lack of sharpness
1-2.
Theo and Alexis.
Predicted Team
-----------------------Cech------------------------
Debuchy------Merts------Kos----Monreal
------------------Santi---Coquelin-------------
Ramsey-------------Giroud------------Alexis
I think Wenger may give Debuchy a game and he’ll rotate the strikers. He hinted that he’d rotate them and this might be the game he’ll try.
2-1
Our next 4 games look tough, all away.
Zagareb
Chewsea
Spuds
Leicester
Don't think we'll have too much trouble here.
0-2.
think we will keep a clean sheet and that is what matters. we will finish 2nd in the group anyway.
P*ss easy game, should win this at a canter, shame on us if we don't.
Know nothing about this opposition, but reckon we should be beating them into the dirt.
2-1 defeat.
Croatian double winners, shit record in the CL though - even the spuds beat them.
Wenger's view:
In many ways I agree with his statement of the bloody obvious. Yes indeed, considering Bayern are also in the group, we'd do ourselves a massive favour by finishing above the mighty Zagreb and Olympiakos.Quote:
“We have to make sure we finish above Zagreb and Olympiakos – and this result on Wednesday will count a lot. It’s important to start well.”
0-1
Ox.
Bellerin and Ramsey are out.
Presumably injured. Just reading a quote Twitter from WUMger who said they both haven't travelled.
Maybe he stuck them on the wings of the aircraft and they fell off.
Debuchy is more than good enough to step in anyway and the OX might get a game finally. Debuchy isnt as much of a threat going forward as Bellerin but the OX is a much betetr winger than Ramsay so i guess it ballances out nicely.
Should be quite an easy one for us this.
2-0 Zagreb.
Monreal says its more psychological than physical challenge tonight, so a loss it is then.
The funny thing is we have every excuse not to rotate because we have no players to rotate with, with injuries and lack of outfield reinforcement we essentially have no squad....just a first XI, couple of subs, bunch of clapped out geriatrics and failures and the youth team which is also without mincing words shit.
The teams
Dinamo Zagreb: Eduardo, Ivo Pinto, Sigali, Taravel, Pivaric, Paulo Machado, Ademi, Antolic, Soudani, Pjaca, Fernandes.
Subs: Jezina, Henriquez, Hodzic, Coric, Benkovic, Rog, Matel.
Arsenal: Ospina, Debuchy, Koscielny, Gabriel, Gibbs, Arteta, Cazorla, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ozil, Sanchez, Giroud.
Subs: Cech, Chambers, Monreal, Flamini, Coquelin, Campbell, Walcott.
Referee: Ovidiu Hategan (Romania)
Gambling with the first game. Not taking the opposition seriously. I hope the total transformation of the team for no good reason and the arrogance pays out. Is Cech tired or something? Coquelin can't play - why? Monreal? Ox will need to have a good game to stop this being a fiesta of plodding.
Coq needs a rest, I'll give him that one. Big game on Saturday and with the massive workload he's been given this season a break here and there is needed and I think this is as good as any. It's Sanchez I'm worried about. That guys needs a rest, he's mostly been off the pace this season and I can just see a massive injury brewing at some point, particularly after running himself into the ground last year, then through the summer with hardly any time off.
Good to see Eduardo back at his old club in goal.
Cech on the bench :unsure:
COME ON ARSENAL!!!
Fuck off Sky, great to have free BT Sport ....just for the CL football if anything
Let's see what Giroud, Arteta and Debuchy have to offer ....any fuckeries and I'm switching to the Barca game
Zagreb are strong at home. Bit of a risk but it's a strong enough team to win. We're keeping an eye on the Chelsea game. Giroud needs a good game. Wenger missed a trick with this one because I think our strikers need momentum.
The Zagreb manager - surely that's a fake chin?
Need to be more direct in and around the box.
Don't really kind what happens today, or on this comp. About as valuable to us as the League Cup.
