WIN Champions League: Arsenal 3 - 0 Monaco | Wednesday, December 11 | KO: 20:00 GMT | TNT Sports

 

[Red London]

I was just looking at the stats too! Trying to work out what we need to make top 8. You're right... it is very tight. Even City could overtake us, even though they are 17th to our 7

And we NEED to make top 8

Yeh we can’t be getting another 2 games added into this disastrous schedule.

 

[Synical]

Yeh we can’t be getting another 2 games added into this disastrous schedule.

Whatever happens we need to do better than City. Sick of watching them drop points and then watching us follow suit. Surely one day soon I will be able to hold my head up high against my City-supporting colleague. She's so annoying

 

[boonthegoon]

Should be an easy win at home

 

[SA Gunner]

Important game this one, we need to secure top 8 and this game is a big step towards achieving that. I think 16 points should be enough to make the next round commencing in march, lets get the W on our way there.

Concerns on Gabby XL (I like this one) are warranted, its not usual to see him being out for this long. Calafiori is another concern which we need to see an improvement on.

Full strength side for me please, and if Gabby XL is available I think we can start Zinchenko on our left side.

 

[Jasard]

Just forget having a 9 Havertz and Jesus are having zero impact, just play Nwaneri false 9 or something.

 

[Nunowoolmez]

I wonder if they will play Balogun for this ?

He will be gagging to score against us, but 11 goals in the 42 games he's played for Monaco doesn't exactly worry me lol

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Monaco having good season they currently 3rd if I'm not wrong.

We need to get win in this one it get us closer to guarantee top 8 finish.

I don't want to rotate we need to find stability we lack fluidity in pitch because we changing our line up alot of course Injures playing part in it

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

They also got lot of young talented footballers Vanderson Akliouche and Ben Seghir likely all 3 will be at top clubs in year or tow

 

[Gooner Zig]

Just forget having a 9 Havertz and Jesus are having zero impact, just play Nwaneri false 9 or something.

I'm ready for Trossard false nein again

 

[HollandGooner]

Raya
Timber
Saliba
Gabriel
Zinchenko/Skelly
Partey
Rice
Ødegaard
Martinelli
Jesus
Saka

 

[ggunner12345]

Ødegaard took a knock yesterday afternoon, why not start him on the bench v Monaco?

Lots of games in December I would look to start Nwaneri v Monaco, CP league cup which I'd say he will start and Ipswich at home 27th December.

Arteta will only start nwaneri against palace in the cup

 

[Jackie_Treehorn]

Monaco have had a few disciplinary problems this year. I see several red cards. No idea the circumstances because I don’t watch Ligue 1 and haven’t seen highlights of their champions league matches. Could this be a game where we’re the beneficiaries of a sending off rather than the victims?

 

[SA Gunner]

Martinelli ---- Jezus --- Saka
--------Merino --- Ode
----------------TP5
Zinny -- Kiwior --- Saliba -- Timber
----------------Raya

Rest up Trossard, Calafiori, Gabby XL for this one. We are going to have another difficult game against Everton on the weekend. Tight finishing will be needed.

Wish we could rest Saka, Ødegaard and Timber as well. We are really pushing them.

 

[Tom Mix]

If we win this we're practically over the line. I can see us getting at least 4 points from our last two games. The concerns are the injuries which have crept up on us and the under-performance of some of our forward players.

 

[jones]

Hütter is a brilliant coach, most attack minded manager at a top club I'd say. Even made Thilo Kehrer look like a serviceable defender this season.

That said in football good usually loses to evil so expecting a comfortable 3-0 win, one penalty one Merino header from a corner and a deflected long shot.

 

[HattoriHanzo]

They couldn't win against my local team (Dinamo Zagreb).
It was 2:2, therefore anything but comfortable win would be huge embarrassment for Arsenal.

Give him a new contract tho

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

So basically left with Saliba and kiwi but yeah let's win every game!

We already over playing timber we forcing Calafiori to play despite having tow injures with national team in September that lead him to get injured even more never seen useless players as Zinny and Tomi. Tierney might have a rare start tomorrow

This is ****ing insane.

 

[Gooner Zig]

Yeah, nah these injuries don't look like they are letting up - we can't challenge for trophies with all these players missing.
