Win UEL Group Stage: FC Zurich 1 - 2 Arsenal | Thursday 8th, September | KO: 17:45 BST | BT Sport

We need an emphatic win to soothe the pain of losing to those ****ers in manchester.

Likes of Tierney, Vieira, ESR, Tomiyasu should come in and put these farmers to the sword.

Prediction
FC Zurich 0-3 Arsenal

 

[BIoodBrother]

Tomiyasu is ready. He must play ahead of White at RB

 

[albakos]

Ffs, I bet @farzad4daarse's colonoscopy is easier than Arteta's decision flowchart to bring some young players from the bench.

Good result, but we missed way too many chances.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Anything outside our best or almost our best XI seems to be a monumental downgrade, similar to last season. Once lots of changes are made we're nowhere near as good

Tomi Tierney Vieira ESR and Nektiah the only people you depend on not sure about others our midfield already struggle without Thomas and Holding is nowhere near to Saliba white and Gabriel quality.

 

[Monstar-Gunn4r]

Tomiyasu is ready. He must play ahead of White at RB

Did you not miss how much we missed White playing the ball out of the back tonight?

 

[avenellroad]

Bodo are a decent team

"I say, Charles, don't you ever crave
To appear on the front of the Daily Mail
Dressed in your Mother's bridal veil?"
And so I checked all the registered historical facts
And I was shocked into shame to discover
How I'm the 18th pale descendant of some old queen or other

what is it?!

R.I. P. Queen Elizabeth.
Hard-fought victory in Switzerland. Zurich may be on paper a tiny club but in games like tonight, they have nothing to lose. We should have been three up by halftime. In the second half, Zurich was better caused us problems, and had that nothing to lose mentality. Marquinhos is the man of the match. Showing we don't need to buy a winger in January, just a midfielder. This guy is strong on the ball, has great passing, and has an eye for the ball. Vieira's official start was decent to good. It could be better but it's his first whole start. Hopefully, no knocks and everyone is good to go for Sunday

 

[Rasmi]

Marquinhos and Vieira played well its important for us. Marquinhos look very good thankfully we didn't him on loan too after Pepe.

The squad is short 23 players are good number but not when you have to play every 3 days. We'll all be under stress until January.

The squad is not short. The manager have faith in 14 players. That will be his undoing

 

[SA Gunner]

Psv 1-1 Bodo

Good result for us

100%

Need the group stage wrapped up as soon as possible.

 

[Sanchez11]

Need to win the group quickly

What 14 players does the manager have faith in? List them please.

 

[Melquiades]

Meh. Got the result.

Biggest thing about this game was the performance of Marquinhos who has certainly earned himself bigger looks through the rest of the season. Very impressive.

Tomiyasu and Xhaka were outstanding. Viera had moments.

Martinelli was aimless. Sambi Lokonga was a ghost.

Tierney defends so well but as the team around him improves his lack of final product and aimless crosses stand out more.

 

[HollandGooner]

We should have scored 4 goals at least tonight but think starting with 3 points is the most important.

 

[Symbia]

Was genuinely afraid these Rolex factory workers might send our players to the physio room.
Glad the match ended with our players unscathed.
Will be interesting to see their match stats, probably completed more fouls than passes.

RIP Queen Elizabeth II.
What a long life of fulfillment!

 

[Tell.]

I dont like these first team substitutions on. Arteta must stop being a coward and let the kids figure it out themselves.

Would love to see a Wenger style 11 in out last 2 group games. He's lucky in the sense that the extra game time won't cost us, with the weekend games being cancelled.

Look at the season 2017/18 when we played in the EL.

Look at our last group game against Koln when we had already qualified to the next round.

Post the starting line up here. And then we can have a look at a Wenger style 11.

 

[Tom Mix]

Did enough to win. Good performances from Eddie and Marquinhos and after them Tomiyasu did well. Three points on the board, PSV dropped points.

 

[Pop Tart]

Rip to.our majesty..all that matters today. Great lady we all can learn from

 

[Sanchez11]

We need to go full Samba

There is a massive Mandela Effect happening with so many aspects of the Wenger era at this point.
