Team News
Elneny & Mkhitaryan out
Kolasinac & Wilshere doubts
Cech & Özil could return


Big Wengs' last European tie at home, hopefully the team make it memorable for the right reasons

 

[Hunta]

Let's send this **** back to the slums of Madrid. For Wenger and for Arsenal.

 

[Trilly]

First half performance makes me nervous, Aubameyang arguably being the spark that got us going makes me even more nervous.

Mustafi terrifies me.

But Özil's in form, and a confident striker can lift a team. Xhaka also played quite well and Ramsey's producing for fun. Please let's win this.

 

[Vinci]

Every single player has to transcend the level they've been playing at this season. Not sure they can, but the only way we'll be able to get a decent result.

 

[SuperGoon]

At least its not Bayern.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Easy W. Pathetico will do a Pathetico special and **** themselves in the thunderous Emirates on Thursday and we'll go to their ****hole of a stadium with a relatively comfortable lead. Not worried about this at all, we'll show up for this one.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

1 Draw and 3 losses in last 4 away games.

Peeeeeeeeeerffffffeeeeecccccctttttt time for #CharityFC to show up!

 

[El Granit-Coq]

Easy W. Pathetico will do a Pathetico special and **** themselves in the thunderous Emirates on Thursday and we'll go to their ****hole of a stadium with a relatively comfortable lead. Not worried about this at all, we'll show up for this one.

I hope your optimism is stronger than Mustafis overall game.

 

[Furious]

At least its not Bayern.

What if I told you these guys beat Bayern?

 

[Beany]

As long as we lock Iwobi in the bogs and swap my dead grandmother for Mustafi, it’s in the bag...

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

No Elneny, no win unfortunately. 2-2 draw

 

[HBL]

Özil and Ramsey to do it for Wenger and get us the win.

Really hope Mkhi is back though.

 

[Preacher]

Who looks better and more slick in a suit Simeone or Big man Wengz ?

 

[Gegen Pressing]

On paper they beat us, but on their current form we have a slight chance.
Rumors of Griezmann rested against Betis .
Seems like end of an Era for Atletico with Griezmann leaving...

 

[MaraDon]

play wilshere instead of mki if mki is not ready.

Very hard game, we need to be on our toes the entire game.
Losing ElNeny is devastating because he was the source of our balance the past few games.

 

[Garrincha]

We certainly will get a fresh Madrid.

 

[field442]

Think he could end up playing 3 at the back if Wilshere and Mkhitaryan aren't fit enough.

 

[<<reed>>]

I don't know what to expect. On paper they are a pressing counter-attacking team who know how to defend, and that's a pretty terrible combination for us if you ask me.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Atletico could field their youth team and there still would be 90% chance of #CharityFC to show up. And that my friends is our problem so far this season.

 

[lamby22]

Not good
