CL | Ludogorets vs Arsenal | 1st of November at 19:45 (GMT)

[turkish gooner]

Wont be easy

0-2 to us

 

[Rimaal]

Fingers crossed!

 

[Wilshero]

Wonder if Xhaka gets a spot in the XI. Reckon we'll start with our strongest possible line up and make some early subs if the game is won around the 60th minute mark. Just like last time.

 

[Notorious Big]

Should be a easy win,we are on great run and some players will come back to this game.Still,there is a lot of work to do after,we need to win at Basel and not to lose to PSG.

Same as vs. Sunderland, we can't take the opposition lightly and do a 'Zagreb' over here. Monreal, Walcott and Santi failed their fitness tests this weekend, I'd leave them be till Sp**s. There's no reason to bring back Xhaka immediately after his 3 game suspension, and El Neny was quite good vs. Sunderland so deserves another game.

Get some momentum and then all guns out blazing vs. the Sp**s.

 

[bingobob]

I think Koscielny will get a rest here. Also Alexis.

[Chami]

It will be hard. We need a very strong first XI, to kill the game in the first half and make early subs

 

[Trilly]

No need to rest, we have four days after this game and Sp**s are playing a must win game. We can rest players once we build a nice lead, this is a must win game for us.

This early in the season you're still building fitness anyway. At worst we'll both be tired.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Hope Xhaka starts, sharpen him up before the NLD .

He'll be in there against Wanyama and Dembele, physical beasts.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

The strongest team possible needs to start and those under a fitness cloud should be assessed for the NLD.

You know Wenger is going to persist with Cazorla and Coquelin. Coquelin will play higher as usual and Sp**s will press Santi (like they did last season) and have a free run at our defense. I just hope they don't have Kane back or else it might be worse than PSG.

 

[redanddread]

Ludogreta will be eager for revenge after their humiliation at the Emirates. We should have too much for them but they showed that they can play and I'm sure it'll be a tough game. Maybe 3-1 to us. I'd love the clean sheet again though.

We can't afford to **** this up though and must ensure we leave with all 3 pts come hell or high water.

 

[Jaywood Mac]

Why are people leaving out Walcott? Isn't he supposed to be back for this game? Cazorla too?

 

[Garrincha]

I would rotate the hell out of this one. We have a day on Sp**s, a deeper squad & the benefit of being close to qualification... Lets use it.

Chances are we still win & if not have PSG at home to come. Although being top of the group is over-hyped when Bayern / Atletico, Real / Dortmund & Juventus / Sevilla are in the same groups fighting it out for position.

 

[RUS arsenal]

I imagine this is Wenger right now...

 

[Rocky]

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

Ospina

Bellerin Mustafi Gabriel Gibbs

Xhaka Elneny

Ox Ramsey Iwobi

Giroud

I really like that team except that I worry that Ramsey and Giroud are barely back to fitness. If they're confident about Ramsey's ability to go 70 minutes, that is the team I'd pick, except I'd risk playing Jenkinson to give Bellerin a rest as he's one of the players (along with Alexis, Özil and Koscielny) who never gets one.

How would Xhaka be any different though ? He looks even more susceptible to me under pressure .

I don't know about more susceptible. He was one of the best midfielders in the Bundesliga where teams press much more as compared to the PL. Still, I am more worried about the defensive aspect. I don't mind Coquelin and Cazorla as long as Coquelin is playing deeper since he will be capable of winning the ball back if we lose it during our build-up play. Personally I'd play all three in the middle similar to what we did at WHL last season (with Coquelin, Elneny and Ramsey playing as a third central midfielder). The Sp**s wide players have a tendency to squeeze the pitch allowing their fullbacks more space. We might get vastly outnumbered in the central areas.

 

[redwhiteAustrian]

I'm glad I'm not the manager.....Wenger can't do anything right tomorrow.
If he rests too many we'll risk finishing first in the group, if he rests too few we could risk getting a win vs Spu*s....good luck with whatever he comes up with.

I'm glad you're not the manager as well.
