--- Olympiacos vs Arsenal -----

-----------------------------------------------------------Karaiskakis Stadium
-----------------------------------------------------Tuesday 4th December 2012
-------------------------------------------------------------Kick off – 7:45pm
--------------------------------------------------------

My Preferred Lineup:

Bench: - Mannone, Mertesacker, Sagna, Arteta, Wilshere, Gervinho, Walcott


My Score Prediction

- Olympiacos - 3 - - - Arsenal - 1
- Djebbour ------------ Arshavin
- Mitroglou x2

Forget this, we've already qualified and winning the group wont mean much this year with teams like Real Madrid, Milan, Juventus, PSG and Valencia sitting in 2nd place in their respective groups. Rest key players like Cazorla, Arteta and Mertesacker, and I wouldn't even make Cazorla travel.

 

[Azeem Khaja]

This is going to be a difficult game, since we have qualified- my take on this is to play the Capital One cup squad. Let them earn their wages and our first team get some rest for saturday against baggies, which I think is extremely important.

 

[Revolution]

The board should kiss their lucky stars Arsenal qualified with a game to spare.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Play our reserve team try new formation don't care about the result even if we finish top we will face strong team in the round 16. rest cazorla arteta verms mertesacker.

 

[leo_ense]

I'm expecting these bunch of pussies to **** this up. The Greek atmosphere will have them floored.

 

[dpt49]

The advantage of having to play away in Greece is at least Wenger has got a ready made excuse if we lose to WBA next week.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

At least Wenger has got a ready made excuse if we lose to WBA next week after having to play away in Greece.

i think he must rest key players for this game the likes of santi arteta mertesacker and vermalean must have a rest.

 

[Wouterus]

I'd leave 4-5 first team players in London. Even if we win, we probably end up second in the group. Pointless to put in too much effort, we need to focus on the PL right now.

Preferred lineup:

Mannone
Jenkinson Mertesacker Vermaelen Miquel
Ramsey Coquelin
Arshavin
Chamberlain Giroud Gervinho

Bench: Sagna, Chamakh, Szczesny, Squillaci, Eisfeld, Rosicky, Podolski

 

[bojed]

Play the reserves.

If they win against the greeks, play them against wba.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

I will give chance to eisfeld and miquel to play this game they deserve it they have been on form at u21 games.

 

[DiamondGooner]

I'm expecting these bunch of pussies to **** this up. The Greek atmosphere will have them floored.

Your probably right I don't think our fragile minded team will be able to handle thousands of angry Greeks shouting at them.

 

[dbig]

Play the kids. Let them show what they have. Don't care if we top the group or not.

 

[Airknight]

Think Wenger will go coward with this one, he has no choice but to rest his main guns to make us stop performing so embarassingly in league.

With Chamakh starting we'll win anyway, so not worried.

 

[dysphoria]

can't be arsed about this result really, on current form, it really doesn't matter if we finish first or 2nd because realistically, we don't stand a chance in this competition, if anything, might be really bad for the team if we draw a team like dortmund or barca and they end up giving us such a hiding that what little confidence/belief/determination the squad has dies too.

 

[Vinci]

Should rest absolutely every starter this game, but it won't happen.

Think we'll lose this no matter who plays, draw at most.

 

[dreamLord]

Eisfeld and Gnabry to start please - only potential bright sparks of this season.

 

[Vela]

----------------Szczesny
Jenkinson--Djourou---Miquel--Santos
--------Coquelin-----Ramsey
Chamberlain-----Rosicky----Arshavin
----------------Gervinho
Bench - Mannone, Gnabry, Squillaci, Akpom, Meade, Yennaris, Chamakh.

Eisfeld not registered I think.

 

[ModelGooner]

Don't care who plays. Don't care about this game.

 

[MaestroCesc]

Don't care who plays. Don't care about this game.

Either a very stupid response or your still recovering from y'day horrow show. A loss would destroy our remaining bits of confidence, a win or draw would give us a starting block to build from. We need a confidence lift from somewhere

Customary **** performance in Greece. CL group stages are a borefest, roll on Saturday I say.
