Red Star Belgrade vs Arsenal | Europa League | 19/10/2017 | BT Sport 18:00 BST (17:00 UTC)

[Brown Gooner]

Seeing how gloomy the atmosphere is on the forum after what transpired yesterday I thought I should make the thread about our next game to change the mood a bit.

So it’s Arsenal’s third game in the EL group stage. We sit at the top of our group with six points in two games and a GD of +4. A win would virtually guarantee us a Ro32 place.

It’s still Sunday so the referee has not been announced yet, I hope as the thread progresses someone can provide the information regarding the officials.

Injury news
Arsenal are likely to miss Santi, Mustafi, Kos, Welbeck and Coq. Giroud May or May not play and Chambers could be back.

Belgrade - WLWWW
Arsenal - LWWWW

Wenger could go in with a strong lineup to silence the criticism a bit after yesterday’s defeat.

Ospina
Chambers Per Holding
Nelson Wilshere Xhaka AMN/Kolasinac
Ramsey Sanchez
Lacazette

This competition could be our only realistic way back into the CL. COYG!

Frankly...Id be pissed if the same team from last time didnt play. We all rather see Nelson, Willock, maitland Niles get a shot.

Id be pissed if we went with a Premier League lineup. Giroud and Walcott deserve minutes too.

Torn between wanting to see the youngsters and punishing some first-teamers by making them go out there.

some of our first teamers are worse than the youngsters.

some of our first teamers are worse than the youngsters.

I'd be okay with Wenger not allowing certain players on the return flight home.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

I just hope that Per can play two games in four days. I can't call this result as we have too many injuries and inconsistent performances. I'd like to see some youngsters get a chance but it's all about the result.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

This should be a fun experience.

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

I'll forget that it's on early like last time.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Nelson at right back. Elneny and Wilshere in midfield. Wilshere get injured for 5 months. Ospina howler. Confidence of Holding, Maitland-Niles drops even further. Willock impress but Wenger will tell him to stop doing what he is doing and mess up his mind. Giroud will get 90 minutes and score but will be dropped next game.

Lovely stuff!

 

[MutableEarth]

Hopefully a good performance from the young guns. Need some of these guys to force themselves further into first team contention.

 

[Rain Dance]

Özil will probably play "to restore his confidence"

Giroud & Walcott 4-3-1-2 up top? will two top ever happen?

 

[<<reed>>]

Perfect game for bouncing back after another failure in the PL.
The EL is a blessing for us.

 

[Mark Tobias]

F*ck it, put gunnersauras on and some of the ground keepers sons. Might as well entertain ourselves while we're sucking so hard.

Send the first team to Europa and play the youngsters in the PL. Doubt we're making the top four anyway. Winning the Europa could be our only chance

 

[Jasard]

Why would we play the ****** in the first team then?

 

[Penn_]

Özil needs to play in this. Hasn’t been up to it whenever his come on. so either he needs the game time for sharpness or a nice 7hr flight for him to get his act together.

 

[A_G]

Aaron Ramsey and Alexis Sanchez will be assessed today after picking up what Wenger described as “small” hamstring and thigh injuries respectively but they are both unlikely to travel to Serbia for Thursday’s Europa League clash against Red Star Belgrade.

Giroud & Walcott 4-3-1-2 up top? will two top ever happen?

I hope Wenger stops with the 3-4-3 bollocks. and actually play a formation which suits his players the best,

 

[tap-in]

Looking forward to seeing a proper team play this game. I thought Kolasinac was holding back a bit vs Watford so best let him rest. Coq must be fit by now. Not sure if Chambers is ready, if he is the back 3 could be this;

Chambers Per Holding

Ospina
Holding Per Monreal
Nelson Coq Willock AMN
Walcott Wilshere
Giroud

 

[ZOLA RED STAR]

Hello people. Without a big twist. Red Star is one of the biggest clubs in Eastern Europe. The greatest success of the club is to win the Champions League in 1991. Red Star won the Marseille at final after better penalties series. Before that, Red Star eliminated Bayern Munich (xD ).

Unfortunately after that, there was a civil war in Yugoslavia. The club experienced a financial collapse. After the war, the club began to return to the paths of old glory


In 1996, Red Star reached the quarter-finals where she perfectly matched the Dream Team of Barcelona (Ronaldo, Stoic, Enrike ..). After that, the club did not make any major successes. Red Star was the first time in the group stage UEFA Cup (now Europa League) in 2005. Then Red Star won Rom 3: 1 and in the final round led 2-0 against Strasbourg.Unfortunately Strasbourg scored twice and Red Star was eliminated.


2007 Red Star last took part in the UEFA Cup. Then Red Star ended in the group stage as the last one without a single point. The last time in the Marakana (Red Star Stadium) is the big club-Bayern Munich

After that, there was a financial crisis. The club was in debt to debt. The debt was about 50 million euros. The star was six years without a title in the home league

Red Star wins home league 2013/2014 after 6 years. Red Star has been banned from qualifying for the Champions League due to large debts.
The next title, Red Star wins 2015/2016, then the debt was reduced.
Red Star, in the qualifications for the Champions League, defeated Valletta, but it turned out of Ludogorets to drop out of Sasuola in the Europa League playoff.

Ludogorets (you played against Ludogorets in that season)


Sasuolo from Italy



The same season, Red Star lost the title. Although he had the advantage over the entire championship. The coach resigned. The new coach is Vladan Milojevic, Klark Kent. He did not expect that Red Star would do something in the Europa League. However, Red Star made a big success and after 10 years she entered the group phase of a competition.

For Red Star this is the biggest match in the last 10 years. Frequently, Venger will probably come out with a combined team and play in our field and our hellish atmosphere of fans, all of us hope for 1 (3 xD) point from this match.

Sorry for long post and Google translate
