i think it'd great to head over to Moscow with a clean sheet, so would replace Wilshere with Elneny for more durability and protection for the back 4 (also more physical presence).

2-0 with Laca to get both goals

Jack with his knack on a frozen pitch vs Russian thugs no Tnx

Welbz on for him instead

Mkith down to cm

Laca Welbeck
Özil behind them

Got to fancy Laca to score, he's gonna be so up for it. I would consider Ramsey Özil Mkhi with Laca ahead and play Elneny in place of Wilshere.

I dont think the Emirates pitch will be frozen

Welbeck or Iwobi instead of Wilshere. Time to stop playing people out of position.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

We should and have no problems to finish the tie here I hope we don't complicate ourselves because getting result in Russia is difficult

Walk in the park, this one.

 

[Mo Britain]

It's very simple. We need to win the tie here because if we have to go there needing a result we probably won't get it. 0-0 not a terminal result but we really need something we can hold on to and which makes them have to come out and attack in the return.

Not a walk in the park but 2-0 or above would be great.

I read the return leg next week will be 8.05pm UK time so 10.05pm local time. Its gonna be bloody cold at that time so we need to make sure we go there with a healthy lead and kill them on the break. Got to get it right tomorrow night, I dont want to see Welbeck on the bench, would much rather have Nketiah come on if needed.

 

[MutableEarth]

Nketiah will probably not make the bench either, unless Welbeck starts wide. Feel a little sympathy for the U23s - not likely to see any first team action at all.

Strong team available here, should get a win. We need to take a decent goal difference to Moscow. Will be intriguing to see how the midfield lines up as we have a full roster in that position. I hope Lacazette does start. Welbeck sufficed vs Milan, but that changes nothing for me, I'd rather see someone else up there.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Got to play this game like we know we are gonna be champions in this competition. Need to destroy them!

 

[kopzilla]

Robbie better take his bodyguards along with him.

Don't be so quick, Arsenal could still put up a decent fight !

Stuff of dreams

 

[Sapient Hawk]

We need to have them on the back foot the moment the whistle blows. 4-0 to the Arsenal.

 

[DanDare]

Why do people keep putting Özil on the wing?
