Ill be relaxed about this too. We are basically massive underdogs and are not expected to progress so any result other than defeat will be a bonus IMHO.

Even if we did manage to get a result (maybe 2-1) I can't see us going through, think Bayern have too much for us as it stands, they occasionally get complacent as they did against us and City so there's some hope but I can't see them being complacent this time round.
Don't think anyone has ever retained the CL have they, so there's another possible omen, but I'm really clutching at straws now!
The good news is that We wont be able to play two holding players in the middle so at least we'll have more attakcing talent to hurt them. Jack had a good 5 or 6 games before the Man ure and Liverpool games so im hopinh he can discover some of sort of form for Wed. Him, Flams and Euhtzil with the Ox and Santi on the Flanks.
It's a shame that Poldi wont start because he's done well whenever he's played this season and scored important goals.
a goaless draw wouldnt be too bad because i think going to their place needing a win would be a big ask so im hopinng we keep a clean sheet and why not nick one on the counter/set piece.
I would love for us to play Flamini/Ox in midfield and then podolski/ozil/cazorla infront of them.
Im really nervous for this match tho', this bayern team is scary. We've beat them once, it can happend again hopefully![]()
Not sure what to make of this game, Arsenal have looked solid in some games and paper thin in others. If we concede an early goal I do worry though.
I would like to see Wilshere given a game in this one. His long term future is as a deep lying central midfielder and the only way he will learn how to retain possession and dictate play is with a sustained run in the side.
The only question for me is whether we play Podolski or Cazorla on the left hand side. In this regard, given we are at home, and that Giroud has looked a bit shit recently, I would play Poldi for his goal threat and the space he creates for Ozil, but I have a feeling Wenger will plump for Cazorla.
If Giroud is having another poor game I would suggest Wenger pulls him off (not the first time this has happened to BFG in recent weeks) and gives Sanogo another go.
My Team:-
-------------------Sir Chesney-------------------
--Sagna-----Merts--------Kos--------Gibbs-----
------------------Flamini----Wilshere------------
---Ox-----------------Ozil---------------Poldi-----
--------------------Giroud-------------------------
Subs: Fab, Monreal, Jenks, Rosicky, Gnabry, Sanogo, Cazorla
Cazorla in for Wilshere.
Otherwise, yeah.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Going to this.
3-0

The fact is that we almost have no chance to qualify, specially with the second tie in Munich.
I just hope that we will get out of the competition with our heads high and our pride intact.
A draw on wednesday would be fine, but I expect no miracle, we will concede at least 1 or 2 goals.
Bayern is a killing machine, we're not.
