Arsene Wenger and his Arsenal players have a great chance to qualify for the next round of the Champions League by beating Anderlecht at the Emirates tonight. And confidence in the dressing room will be much higher than the last time we lined up against the Belgians, after that late win and two EPL wins with clean sheets to boot.
But the Frenchman will also be wary after they nearly beat us last time and the fact that they have the players to really hurt us on the counter attack. So I expect that Arsenal will try to dominate cpossession and create chances without being too gung ho.
And the boss has made just one change to the starting XI that won our last two games convincingly, with the fit again Aaron Ramsey coming in to the centre of the pitch instead of Mathieu Flamini. So although that is a positive move, it should not change the shape of the team. Monreal plays in the centre of defence again with Chambers on the right.
Szcesny
Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Gibbs
Ramsey, Arteta, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorl
Alexis, Welbeck
subs: Martinez, Bellerin, Flamini, Rosicky, Podolski, Walcott, Sanogo
So the Gunners have a strong looking bench if we need it and we all hope to see Theo Walcott get some more time on the pitch to sharpen up, but hopefully he will be able to come on with the points already secured.
Guaranteed starters OX and Cazorla there once again.. Mr Wenger, SQUAD ROTATION.
What does Campbell and Podolski need to do to get a start? Would’ve liked to see Bellerin play as well.
Anyhows, 2-0 for us. Sanchez and Ramsey to score.
Id just put poldi instead of sanchez and be done with it

wiziwig.tv Try this one dude…
Enjoy
We had better not take these guys lightly. They have a deadly work rate and some serious skills.
I dont think sanchez will stay come jan
Sorry guys i mean campbell
Sorry guys, but this time wenger has lost it. he plays player till the time they get injured. wtf the same team ??? why podolski and campbell are not playing ??? nobody knows …
i have now serious doubt with wenger … i could understand if it would have been dortmund but its really frustrating. now tell me why the player like podolski or campbell will not leave Arsenal …. ???
Now you all know why wenger don’t buy the players you want cos he already got his 11, unless suddenly he don’t like some body. Campbell just a player not his favourite. We got so many injured players, Campbell don’t even has a chance to start so what players he still need.
Solid team selection.
Anderlecht need to attack
so should be an open game.
1-0 will be enough but will
quite hapily take 11 -2 🙂
Arteta.. Ok against European cannon fodder and pl whipping boys but can’t tackle can’t protect the back 4 or support the front men because he’s too slow too old and too shite..
Until we replace him with a Diaby type player we are (by the way where the FUK is diaby ..????) we will never go further than last 16 in CL or top 4 in PL.. Seriously..
This game was crying out for Campbell and podolski just to give them some playing time..? Oh no, Mr arsenal decides to exhaust his first 11.. Genius..!!!!!
I can bet OX will be decisive this match,maybe he will score.I like him as CM,is outstanding sometimes.
nice prediction!!
Why Welback look so lost now and last few games?
To me he looks a little tired.
The ox looking sharp.
Ya but his final product still shi*.
Attack is looking decent. Defence isn’t convincing at the moment though.
Our passing look casual and sloppy.
This display is exactly why I didnt go to the Emirates tonight. 59 quid for this? European elite? I dont think so. Our defending and transition play is so bad its hard to believe. Who do we even take corners? Did we ever score from one?
Yes Welback win us a penalty.
Let Welbz take it. Need his confidence to grow.
ramsey is playing too forward, it’s like he is more concerned with scoring goals.. maybe wenger should play him as a striker..lol
yeah, he seems a little too attack minded, having said that he has had two fantastic opportunities
We have the weakest lethargic defence in the world!
Did Julio baptiste just fowl wellbeck ??
Shit, arteta just scored.. That’s his place cemented for a few weeks..!
Foul
Hah. Chez chez.
World class strike.
MY LORD, WHAT WAS THAT?
Haven’t seen a strike like that since the Invincibles..
It had to be him!!!! Sanchez!!!!!
All hail Sanchez
Where would we be without him .??
Alexis..
Alexis…
Alexis…..
The only world class player capable of lifting us to heights even WENGER can’t dream of.. Let’s hope he doesn’t make him captain…
You guys we have a monster of a player.
Holy shit
Ot if anyone is recording the other game watch varane against narkovic on 16mins1-1 cb defending as it ahould be. Bfg watch and learn. As for our game sloppy at the mo but delighted were one up. Arteta and per so below the standard we need. Good luck covering the snail tonight monreal!
what are you even watching, mertesacker has saved our ass multiple times this match
lol, as if.
My goodness, Alexis is an animal! What a great goal, and more importantly another example of him not giving up! A free kick that hits the wall and he chases is and volleys it, omgggg sublime finish
nothing a like a typical Arsenal reaction
Sanchez needs locking down to us asap, what a player! Different class!
We need 10 more of Alexis. Worth every penny! Warrior!!
The real shame is that while the Puma jacket has a far superior zip the blanket suggests that it just isn’t warm enough.
Dont like how Merti walks way to much upfront.
#IN17WETRUST! ! COYG!!!
Guy i think we will score so many goal with this 4-4-2 formation and im loving it,i just hope we do get that dm in jan
I was hoping that 10 years ago. Jan never came 🙁
We are 2-0 up but why I don’t feel excited about this game. Come on show us the last 10 mins we against Burnley.
Lets all pray that alexis doesn’t get injured. He is such an athlete and machine compared to anyone else in this team!
I find Arteta have a good game so far.
Get up bro.
I think sanchez should teach our player how to jump for header.
@ksgunner. Exactly mert get your butt back in front of the penalty area where yoy belong. Not like you can sprint back. @tidan2. Saved our ar*es luck more the judgement and talent.
It’s obvious
Sanchez is world class
We have no one left midfield
Welbeck is a nice lad but not good enough OG is slightly better
And we are desperate for a top top class DM and CB
Giroud is better?
Yes OG will score more
go away man, you nuts.
Ill say it again. Watch the rm game after. They don’t need a dm player as such as kroos and modric keep possesion so well. The back four of arbeloa, ramos, varane and marcello are all so quick and work as a unit. Wenger after winning tonights game catch the madrid game abd check out the defending. Thats our benchmark.
Defensively a lot of work needs to be done. Teams like Ander…. should not be able to counter so much and with so much effect. A team with a little bit more quality in the final third would have punished Arsenal. Dortmund come here next and I am already worried.
Dortmund will come to the Emirates soon. It’ll be the lightning pace of Reus and Aubameyang counter attacking us then. Praying we get Koscielny back in time, though having said that I don’t feel Monreal is playing badly, the whole defence just looks unstable without Kosc.
Get one more asap, then put in Poldi and Walcott in place of Sanchez and Welbeck. Sanchez really needs rest. And Poldi needs game time. As for Walcott what can I say, I just want to see him on the pitch just for the sake of it 🙂
Agree love to see walcott and poldi on a 4 or 5 goal win please 🙂
Wtf why our players just like to pass.
Ramsey is obsessed with scoring goals. This is messing with his mind. He needs to do basics of the deep lying MF right and let the goals come naturally like it did and he dis last season. Calm down Rambo! You will come back.
And I repeat for the millionth time. Why cant we take a decent corner for a change? Cazorla needs to step up the quality of corners. Otherwise let Sanchez take it LOL.
Sanchez energy did drill to our players, a nice pressing but Ramsey last passing just odd.
Ox did pay off, nice goal.
Hahaha, he is so happy that he scored 😛 well done lad.
Podolski for welbeck.
Come on Wenger. What’re you waiting for?
Dortmund are winning too. Need to put in more goals. Extra goals could come in very handy while deciding the group winner.
Still need to give credit to sanchez for 3rd goal.
usual useless refs
Ah comon man, the fak was that.
how is that not offside?????
Wtf man! That was offside!
Lol. It was offside, but everyone was sleeping.
Arteta injured again!!
not sure they were, they made a defensive line
Grandpa Arteta looks injured !
We look awful defensivley against an average team
Bellerin RB Is better than Chambers RB
Thank god arteta off…
Since like there are no arsenal supporter as ref.
For Arsenal two goal lead is not called a cushion. Its a pillow filled with stones and thorns.
I’m guessing we have to wait until the 75 mins for theo lol
Dont know why refs hate us
Wtf sanchez is running but nobody running with him.
What is wrong with the Emirates crowd? We get emabarrassed by away fans every fu#kimg time .
They really need to change,our players need that extra 12men every game
Ok. Forget about goal difference, we have to win this game!
Great defenders always foul in the box well done monreal .. Shit defence without proper back up defenders .. With kos out we look weak as piss .. WENGER genius again,,
Did monreal slipped or what the hell just happened?
time for theo. we can counter
Hahaha..Classic Arsenal!!!
And wenger just sits there
Sloppy, but not panicking.
Our defense is as shit as United’s if not Shittier.
Fcuk sake! Defensive frailties again!! Anderlech have had a couple of chances which just highlights are need for a proper DM! If we defend like this against doetmund they will punish us
Sanchez works and runs until the whistle, others run until they consider the game won or feel like it. Cant work out if our players aren’t fit, motivated or if sanchez is just superhuman. I think it’s a bit of both so the void/difference is very noticeable.
defensively we are not a top 6 team…mert arteta flamini ramsey monreal are all average or lower…and i dont understand how cazorla is still on the field he really has lost it this year…
Commentator ” You should not need to score 4 goals to win at home”. Sums up very well our problems.
Vw hat a surprise wenger starts making a sub at 80 mins
WTF!!! We loook so average !!!
I’d understand if this was R Madrid or Bayern.. But it’s anderlecht ffs..
The cannon fodder of Europe…
The worst team in European history..
They have ..
Postmen Pensioners and paraplegics
Bricklayers and barmen in their squad..
GOD HELP US!!!
Dear dear me. Wenger you need to realise that these days defenders can cost as much as front men get the job done. First rule of fottball dont concede. What should have been a glorious and confidence boosting night ahead of swansea has now left a with a negative mood.
Wenger is waiting for a 3-3 before doing any substitutions…!!
This bullshit of a manager will be done soon enough…!!
Do not blame Monreal, he is doing his best in a “new” position…
Mertesacker is just a liability…
And some people still saying that “he is the man for the job”… Which job? Humiliation?
80mins into the game… Now he brings 2 subs…
This guy is not only deluded, but a f*cking joke !!!
This is Wenger’s fault.
Had the thought of replacing Vermaelin entered his brain we would not be playing Monreal as centre back.
Thats what you get paid £8 million a year for…
Sanchez must look behind him and despair! Come on steve bould have a word and rough wenger up for us!
Cazorla is taking a corner and I see an Arsenal supporter in the background with one hand in his pocket and with other taking a picture with his expensive camera. Cheer the team fffss.
Flamini is crazy lol
Is that a metaphor for crap
Christ this is torture
WE DON’T LOOK AVERAGE… WE ARE AVERAGE… SIMPLE !!
AVERAGE MANAGER (OR EVEN BELOW THAT… HE IS A FARCE!)
AVERAGE PLAYERS, EXCEPT SANCHEZ (world class motherf*cker, no doubt about that).
MERTESACKER IS A LIABILITY…
WE STARTED THE SEASON AND EVERY COMPETITIONS WITH DISADVANTAGES JUST BECAUSE THAT DELUDED AND ARROGANT PREAK OF A MANAGER “JUST DOES NOT DO THE BASIS OF HIS JOB”…!!
We have no natural leaders in the team to calm things down….we need a gerrard/terry type to put a cool on things, everyone just seems to panic when they r under pressure
Since like our players are fighting for the free kick.
Ramsey is now taking free kicks….!!!!!!!!
This is getting comical by the minutes !!!
