It looks like Arsene Wenger has decided to try to get over the Arsenal defensive crisis while also taking advantage of the one being suffered by Jurgen Klopp and his Borussia Dortmund side, because he has picked a pretty attacking line-up, with the big news being that young Hector Bellerin get his first senior start in place of the injured Mathieu Debuchy.
It is not only that that points to the Gunners going for it either, because Kieran Gibbs comes in on the left and Mikel Arteta gets the nod ahead of the more defensive minded Mathieu Flamini. Wenger has also kept both Ramsey and Wilshere in the team and the under fire German record signing Mesut Ozil starts as well.
Szczesny
Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs
Arteta, Ramsey, Wilshere
Ozil, Welbeck, Alexis
subs : Ospina, Chambers, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Rosicky, Cazorla, Podolski, Campbell
There is plenty of attacking talent on the bench for the Gunners as well, so I think we are going to go for it and try to take advantage of Dortmund missing key players like Reus, Hummels, Sahin and Gundogay. The former Man United man Kagawa is on the bench for them, but they still have a strong side with the likes of Bender, Grosskreutz and Mikhitaryan so it should be an entertaining game. Let’s just hope we win it…
what happened last year at dortmunds? an who is missing from their team from last year?
an who is leading the line this time?
C O Y G
Going to smash them. Too much quality against a very weakened side. COYG!
Dortmund are missing a good amount of players but they are still a very strong team klopp did a good job by giving them depth this year.
Immobile is leading the line I’d prefer him over Ramos cause Ramos has been in fine form
What are we gonna smash ? We are mr. Predictable. Everyone from the kid nex door to the cleaners at the office knows how to play against Arsenal. We are painfully slow. Why is Cazorla on the bench … If we put Sanchez and the Ox we might get some speed. We need a change. Hopefully this goal will be a wake up slap in the face or more is coming where this came from.
why isnt flamini on the bench???????????????/
Flamini was directly at fault for our 1st goal against City. I would rather have Ox playing where Flamini does.
He has tonsillitis as well I believe
No Flamini is he injured as well ?
so he’s persisting with a player who’s on the free fall but omitting veterans who are hungry to play (podolski/rosiscky)?? I’m just at a loss for words
If Rosicky gets no gametime today gunna go mad. Not even one minute of playing time so far this season!
His boyhood club as well.
Not exactly but I get what you mean
Sparta Prague is, but still, he spent a long time at Dortmund
Oh yeah.
Bellerin gunna do well, COYG
Oh wow ozil outside again .. When we could be a further threat with ox outwide .. No progression with arsene I’m telling you
actually ozil said it in an interview he prefers to play on the right wing so can cut in for the defense splitting pass..
Come on hector show us what you can do.
I would’ve liked to rest Ramsey and play ox on the left cause durm is very shaky when he has a pacy winger running at him
Life today is-
Biriyani. Whiskey. Arsenal.
Come on Arsenal. Lets drill a hole in the Yellow Wall. COYG.
Kebab. Lager. Arsenal for me.
Good man
Chicken tacos w salsa and a nice j so I don’t have a heart attack
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
QUALITY
What’s a nice J ?
Donnar and skoll ?
Doner and Heineken infact
Nice, love doner’s
what no women/hoes/ladies?
damn what do u guys do at half time?
Drink more Lager and hunt for more doner
oo don’t worry about that, ive got Five brazilain super models on concord flying directly to my house for half time.Nothing interupts the game though,
@muffdiver
Exactly…
BBQ wings and Corona beer
Good shout
F*ck corona that is nasty it’s all about that does with a lime
Already moaning. Guys today is cl football
Its Will be the rise of ozil ramsey welbeck Wilshere and also Bêlerîn
Like last year ozil Will start his season
Lets enjoy this Night with a win !
Too right.
CMON YOU GOONERS.
good line up but let’s all support ozil
Subotic, decent player, that’s all they have. We must win!
I like the game changers on the bench, problem is they’ll get about ten minutes that is if they even play. Ozil looked good at rw for real so hopefully he gains more confidence after tonight, excited about this one and pray gibbs is match fit. Coyg!
We have to be careful we don’t commit to many men forward especially our full backs cause Dortmund are full of pace. Aubemayong is walcott fast, mihkitaryan is very quick and is a goal scorer almost like a cf instead of a #10, and immobile lives off defenders shoulders so it should be a good match
Has someone told Wenger that he doesn’t have to play the same players in every game?
No one can tell wenger anything
Welbeck hatrick, ozil assist all three.
I will drink to that ! COYG
Sanchez will score.
Charlotte Jackson or Kate Abdo or Natalie Sawyer ?
Options…..
Pump and dump
Marry
can’t think of another option
are u serious?! pump them all …with sky sports playing in the background!
I ment who would you treat as a slag, or take home to you’re mum, forget it.
no i get it dude . i as a distinguished gentleman with the highest regard for women believe those pieces of meat should stay in storage -know what i mean 🙂
that kirsty gallacher looks like meet mum material
There just F7k holes mate, don’t have to be a white knight
Only joking, i’m a gentleman as well 😉
hahaha- your a charmer – i can tell-
this is it lads-
red army RED ARMY
Kate abdo for me
natalie sawyer no contest
BOOBIES
Tomorrow is my birthday, I wouldn’t mind an early birthday present from my darling arsenal….0-2 to arsenal COYG!!!
Jurgen klopp reminds me of steven merchant
BOOGLIE EYES
Yer and Wenger is Karl Pilkington lmaooooooo.
only kidding
Not too happy wit the line up. Ozil slows down our attack and does not really help defensively. We have to really be mindful of Dortmund’s nack for quick counters because they are good at it. This is tailor made for Rosicky. Its such a shame he may not play. I’m not really optimistic
Wow only one defender on the bench O.o
Go Arsenal!!! I like the line-up…would like to see Ozil in the middle though..Oh and Arteta at a different club. lol
you know that’s not the formation right… it’s going to be the same as the last match except Bellerin will play instead of Debuchy
Cmon lets blow up the bumble bees with our cannons
Borussia fans are awesome. We need to be like they. I insist on having some canon sounds on our stadium. That would be awesome.
In order to do that we need to change of alot of personalities on this site
negative as fook
P.s diving c8nt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dortmund in two minutes- europes back yesssssssssssssssssss
Wenger wants to play Wilshere, Ramsey and Ozil altogether. What can he do to get Ozil central?
OMG Wenger just said something to Sanchez and Sanchez nodded back in agreement. Shit just got real……….
Ozil on the left, f uuuuuck
You don’t want him on the right, hector is playin’ we need sanchez too track back .
Ref with us. What the fcuk was Arteta thinking.
But it looked like a dive to me as well.
10000000000000000 % dive
Poor start and we keep giving the ball away,arteta is too slow for this level !
Can someone give a good site where i can watch arsenal ,please?
zonesport . eu
Wiziwig .tv
They are not letting us get any settling time. Don’t worry boys. Only a matter of time.
Arteta is making interceptions……..
They’re not half the team without Lewandowski
Koscielny Rock Solid always
Wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ice bucket the whole team, in the face
Volleyball.
SLAM DUNK MON!
1st time weve had the ball
Who said dortmund were mediocre, boys wake the f up
OZIL is worthless, bring in the OX already
String some passes ffs, this is rubbish
coyg
DIVE AGAIN.
not clicking at all,
Ramsey has to stop losing posession
25 MINS+ OF NOTHING!
Ramsey hasn’t shown up today, been disappointing so far. Özil has been a lot better than his recent form though.
Welbeck, turn into henry please.
We need to wake up. And fast
God they are raping us
we are playing with arteta and ozil which means no DM and short of bodies in midfield.
outclassed. we are being outclassed
Has ozil had the ball yet ? can Rambo and Jackie play together?What is going on?
Good run Gibbo
We are hanging on. Something is not right.
Gibbs playing like Messi, LoL
Where’s our passing game gone this season??
bellerin is getting found out..that is what is happening !
Bellerin has been pretty ok I thought.
please bring klopp to the emirates the difference in class with the cheese eating surrender monkey is just massive
Why didn’t Welbeck head that one?
They will score, if persist in playing this shite.
agreed. shezza has saved us.
is ozil on the pitch?
ramsey and jack together- lampard an gerrard syndrome?
100 % agree with that one.
team with bfg arteta ramsey as back spine is just not in top league…but the lack of fitness and work ethic is unbelievable compared to germans
Did u see that sh t?
Ive seen 36mins of shite m8
Immobile guy is a bull
wilshere and ramsay can’t play together. You have to play one or the other. I hope rosiscky and and pod get a game
what position is ozil playing…what the f*** is wenger doing
whenever ramsey isnt brilliant the haters come out he cant be just good he has to be brilliant.
insted of waiting for a 23 year old to take the game by the scruff of the neck why not have a go at ozil who is the highest paid player in the team but still consistently the laziest every single game.
good!!!! he is awful mate…
Were not saying that, i don’t think rmbo and Wilshire can play together, like Gerrad and lampard
they played together against city and they were awesome.
Awww Danny that was shit
fk sake danny!!! argghhhhhjhu
ooooooooo cmon danny, thats 2 sitters man
fk we are shiitititititeee man we cant beat liester city hw d fk would be beat dortmund
Dammit
What the Welbeck is wrong with you?
Haha that made Danny’s shot look good
………..
We are useless against any good team, it’s depressing, he just ran through our whole team
Again. Counter.
THATS WHAT BUYING PROVEN QUALITY GETS U !!
GREAT GOAL
FFS RIGHT ON HALF TIME- DONUTS!!
klopp>wenger
immobile>welbeck
Klopp >>> Wenger
welbeck > immobile
It’s been coming.. We have been shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit… All lacking pace and life in the players bodies..
Are we 1 nil down, my stream went …………… aghhhhhhhhhhhh f*ck
Wenger change the sqaud around, iT ISNBT WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOD I FEEL LIKE SHOUTING AT HIS FACE FROM A CENTER METER AWAY.
We need to hit them. On the break so why we playing ozil? Wenger don’t know what his doing
We can’t really say we are surprised by the outcome of this game
wenger should be f****** shot if he thinks he has a squad that can win anything he is even more stupid than i thought…he is incapable of adding any real steel and fight to his players…its pathetic
I think he got a little lucky, but to be fair that was a quality goal. Wish Kosc had taken it from him earlier
embarrasing to get spanked with goal like that.
wow
we seriously just let him run down the whole pitch??? How does that even happen. Shocking
Giroud is awful…isn’t it ?
Giroud wouldnt even have been in those positions, and his finishing isnt any better honestly.
I was just saying what we used to say during half time during the past 2 seasons
Yes still Welback >>> Giroud
Giroud is still sh*t
Wenger just cannot motivate the team for big games away at all, and we can only scrape draws to them at home, Wenger out, Klopp in, I’m done with Wenger.
BUY A F####G DM AND GET OZIL OFF
arteta,mert must go-3rd tier players.
Good that u reminded Arteta is playing.
Mert and Arteta against fast teams u got to be kidding!
its so simple what dortmund are doing…..pressing arsenal players and breaking with pace and directness. The goal was coming how many times have they broke from their own half to our 18 yard box through the middle in 3/4 seconds…..
Jenkinson is better than Bellerin, why the hell did we loan him out. We have no backup defenders!!
The problem is PER and ARTETA fellas, anyone who has rudimentary futbol knowledge can see where Dortmund is running roughshod. OH and Klopp is predictably rump ramming Le Prof, but I guess we already conceded that reality
Arteta hasn’t been up to speed at all. Ramsey still hasn’t hit form either, though that pass to Welbeck was great. Away against a top side in the Champions League you have to take your chances…
what a defence is for allowing immobile to run in goal like this?
wenger plays the same players week in week out until they get injured and are out for 3 to 4 months at a time then fans wonder why there’s an injury crisis. He plays one style of football for every team in the league or CL, he doesn’t change, he does no adjustments, he makes no innovation to the team. A blind man can see dortmund know where the pass is going before we even make a pass, why do i even support this team
We have a better team they have a better manager..!
Wenger should walk..!
His motivational skills are abysmal .. They are pressing and we don’t know how to handle it.. Ffs Leicester pressured us that much we couldn’t beat them.. What hope against dortmund..?
Another frustrating season lies ahead..
Ramsey poor … arteta waste of time.. Get shot NOW.. Sanchez needs to be subbed as he’s losing possession too often.. Ozil.. Same old ozil..
We need passion and pace.. Press those fluckers and give it to them instead of being pussys like our weak manager!!!!!!
Mertesaker is not good enough. Arteta is absolute shite. Ozil is lazy and doesn’t give a shit. Sort these problems out annd maybe we’ll only loose 3 nil at Anfield next time.
Unfortunately we see Gibbs has not many game under his belt. His indecision made Bos to not tackle Immobile.
