I would go with the above team except I'd leave Giroud on the bench and play Iwobi. They might defend deeper this time after the drubbing we gave them, but as the home side the onus is on them to come out and play. Iwobi and Ox will have to on top of their game offensively and defensively as Ludo created chances at our place. It has the feel of a banana skin,but that's probably my fear and paranoia. We should win but it will probably be as awkward as it was for a while in the last game.

I have to agree with Mrs B, especially being Giroud is just back from injury, despite being 1 down Ludo were still in the game for most of the first half. Let the usual suspects grind them down, unleash the beast 2nd half. Little bit sympathy for Elneny He was more adventurous today but likely to be sidelined both of next 2 games. Come on as sub though!

Aren't Sp**s next game ?

I'd be tempted to rest a few, but then we can play our team with a light training week and just cross our fingers in regards to injuries.

Hmmm...,



Listen here, chump. You sign up on this forum and you make a match day thread, that's fine and all, but then you don't give us trolls an option to troll for an Arsenal loss. Terrible. Ban plz.

I'm certain he won't.. and I know most won't want us to... but I really hope we rest most of our best players here. Ludogorets are decent but not great and a decent mix of our first team and second team should be good enough to beat them.

Ospina
Jenkinson
Mustafi
Holding
Gibbs
Elneny
Xhaka
Chamberlain
Iwobi
Walcott (Reine-Adelaide if not available)
Giroud

Obviously, we'll have Özil and Alexis on the bench in case anything goes wrong. Honestly, I think we would win with this team anyway.. but I'd rather risk having to beat PSG at home as long as we do everything we can to be ready for Sp**s - who are playing a must win game on Wednesday night!

Hmmm... not sure we'll rest Özil and Alexis like many are suggesting. We're still not guaranteed anything. Also this is a Tuesday game while our game vs Sp**s is on a Sunday so I think that's enough time between the two games.

Also Sp**s play the Wednesday and definitely need a win so it's not like their teams will be much different for the CL and NLD games.

I think we might just go with Giroud on the bench again.

I agree with you to a large extent. I'd like to see a gamble on rotation taken. I'd like to see Alexis stay at home. Maybe take Özil for the bench. If Walcott isn't fit I'd have Iwobi wide left, Ox wide right, and gamble on Ramsey at #10 for 60 minutes if they think he's up to that. Not 100% keen on Jenkinson in this game, but Bellerin and Koscielny need a rest and need to be on the ball for Sp**s

With Sp**s around the corner, we can afford to rest a few here, right?

Start our best team and sub them if the game is going our way at the earliest opportunity. This is still a must win game with us being level with PSG, and it represents the best chance to finish top of the group. I know its Sp**s on Sunday but we'll have some rest with the game being on Tuesday.

Özil and Alexis can be subbed, plus someone else if needed to give some rest, but lets keep them in the starting lineup, we dont have the buffer to PSG yet. Lets not let the opportunity slip for 1st place finish in the group.
