UCL | PSG v Arsenal | 13th of September at 19:45 (GMT)

[Trilly]

Xhaka-Cazorla lacks athleticism and might also be too weak defensively to play against a top side. We'll save it for games where we are playing small teams who have come to park the bus.

If he does that, he'll destroy Perez's confidence and render him useless. He should start him in a 442 with Giroud.

That would be cool, but lets be honest we aren't doing that, especially in the CL.

 

[Vinci]

Giroud is definitely in, but Lucas on the wing is a real possibility.

Think Xhaka-Elneny in midfield, Wenger will want some more discipline than he gets from Coquelin.

'Again' as in vs PSG. We don't play 4-4-2 and Wenger trusts Giroud.

Tbh I'd say Perez is happy to just be at Arsenal right now, lad is a journeyman, huge move for him.

I disagree. He has something and if we ever want to get the best out of him, which we desperately need to do, then he should start. If not in a front 2 then as a R. winger.
He did more than both Ox & Walcott, today. He got an assist and worked his arse off.

Also, Giroud is more effective in a front 2, as we have seen with France.

Kos will pocket Cavani, easily.
We'll have to be wary of Di Maria and Verratti.
Di Maria will roam free and Xhaka will have to be on to him when he cuts in. Verratti will create from the back, Özil and co will have to pressure him.
2-0 win, Sanchez and Giroud with the goals.

Alexis Iwobi
Giroud.
We could play Lucas instead of Giroud or drop Iwobi and put Lucas LW with Giroud up front. No Ox in the squad for me. Let Jeff or Willock have the experience. I'd also play Özil slightly behind the forwards so he can hopefully run into space and thread some passes.

I think it might be something like that considering we're away from home, though I can see us playing Perez wide also. Think Giroud will definitely start this.

EDIT: Actually forgot about Iwobi, big chance he'll start, in that case swap Cazorla out and put Iwobi on the wing.

I'd go with Lucas instead of Giroud.

We might need to play on the counter.

 

[say yes]

Will be fun to play a good European team who aren't Barca/Bayern.

I think you're saying that without having read up on him whatsoever.

He was originally in Spain, and impressed at the academy level. He was promoted to Rayo Vallecano's first team in Spain's second division and continued to play well, but because of the team's dire financial situation, he was sold off. Naturally, seeing as he hadn't built a reputation yet, he was forced into a small league (Ukrainian) and later to Greece. It's quite difficult to make anything of yourself there of course, but when he finally got his opportunity in Spain for Deportivo de La Coruña, he took it with both hands and was able to catch Wenger's eye. It's not that he was a journeyman, poor circumstances forced him to move around to find an opportunity to impress.

 

[DanDare]

They have 3 fit defenders. We should en aiming to win this definitely

Hahahaha. Please. They could have had 1 fit defender and we would find a way to ruin it. Remember United away? It's not about who turns up for the opposition, it's about which Arsenal turns up. We can beat Bayern and lose to Burnley the next game.

I hope not! You cant bring in a player and tell the media you want him in the middle, and then play him wide after one game. By all means play Giroud, that's what I expect anyway against top seeds away but play you 1st choice wingers ie Alexis & Walcott, then bring on Perez later for Giroud if its not working.

I don't see that happening at all. If Wenger had been looking for a player to play on the wing, Perez would not have been that guy for sure. He's here to be a striker, and one game won't change that.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

PSG really had a poor start of the season they still settling with their new manager so this is great time to play them.

Cech
Bellerin Kosh Mustafi Monreal
Xhaka coq/Elneny
Walcott Özil Alexis
Lucas/Giroud

Wenger will go with tow DM at this one its away game against top team it will be open game I hope Özil Alexis and Walcott can play well because they will be the key

 

[bojed]

Everybody says that before getting nutted 5-0.

 

[razörist]

Away games have been way more enjoyable than home games for a while now. Let's continue that.
