Aha ! Best effort boys, that’s all I’m asking.
Very worried about Arteta holding without the FLAMINATOR by his side and Verm on the left.. but that is probably the best attack we got right now. Wenger going all out. I like it. COYG.
GET IN!
Come on push
Let’s have it! 3nil Arjen Robben red card for diving! How can it not happen?
Only 3 subs, that’s bold!
C’mon make the gooners proid
My only sin is proid
I like it! We probably won’t have much of the ball, and having the Ox there may give us some counterattacking drive in midfield. Hopefully Poldi can help make any chances count
So we just have 3 players on bench! Hmm..
No, we don’t.
We are only permitted to make three subs so…
3? I count 6
Fuck it, let’s go for it. Nothing to lose.
Glad to see Poldi playing. Hope he steps up.
Raise your hand if at the beginning of the season you thought that knocks to Sanogo and Bendtner would leave you seriously worried.
Stay healthy HFB! Don’t strain your calf celebrating your first half hat trick.
COYG!!!
That lineups too attacking. No Flamini!
Because it’s not like we need to make up two goals, or anything . . . and if we play an attacking line up, they might hit us a bunch on the counter and hurt our goal difference in the table.
Looks like martinez might be playing at centre back, that’s got to be a potential weak point. COYG!
No, he’s very good at CB. I don’t know what Pep’s thinking not playing Kroos and Muller though
Fair enough, I was just looking for some chink in the armour!
It’ll take a miracle, but with the power of Santa, Jesus and Eddie McGoldrick this can be done.
And on the bright side, we’re playing Spuds Sunday so we’ll win at least one game this weekend
So all out attack… Even our dm is attack minded….
Coyrrg…..
That is actually a very exciting starting 11. Stick it to them! COYG!
We have Bergkamp’s blessings with us.
LETS DO IT..!!
Ooohh to be a Gooner..!!
i wish we could start Rosicky too 😛
DeathRun 2 Begins.
Nails filed. Let’s go!
The starting 11 is superb! Really bold, Wenger – lots of creativity and firepower. Coyg!
Would be some script if the come back boys – Poldi & Vermalen positively influence the decision
Where the fuck is McCringleberry?!
Still hasn’t played yet. We need some of his magic tonight!
Superb starting XI, but a little thin on the bench. Come on ARSENAL! Let’s do last year’s match one better!
COYG’s
Spirit of Anfield ’89 pls
Cazorla is not even on the bench? Is there a slight injury perhaps? I hope it’s nothing, he looked great against Everton.
That being said: I like the line up! Make or break, who gives a damn about going down gracefully. Go down with a bang! When your ship is going down, you might as well ram them with everything you’ve got.
We might put the fear in them or we might get flattened, who knows, but noone can criticize Wenger for not having a go at least.
He isn’t on the bench because he’s starting.
Oh right, I read Rosicky both times. In fact, I probably would’ve preferred Rosicky + Arteta to Cazorla + Arteta which it looks like now. I still like the all out attitude tho, but Arteta is the only midfielder on today with any defensive fibers. That might be a bit much, but time will tell.
Podolski up against Lahm. Didn’t see that one coming.
Ozil is the key to our success tonight I feel.
MAKE US PROUD BOYS
Fuck Death Run
IT’S GLORY RUN 1
Verm, kos, BFG and Sagna. We will see how verm does on the left. I wouldn’t want to meet those four together for a street fight.
Sounds like a movie idea if I ever did hear one.
All In!
Wow that is an attacking line up. Hope Tommy V gets on okay at LB. Some terrible chat on 5 live about us getting hammered. COYG let’s put a performance on and show the Germans what we can do!
No proper left back. We obviously should have got Hingle McCringleberry in January…
What is all this Ryo chat? Apparently he is not registered for Champs League but travelled…we are one sub down. How has that happened??
Has Bendtner died or something?
Did blog omit a player on the bench? If the number is actually 6, then that is worrisome. 🙁
NOOOO WHY IS GATTUSO ON THE BENCH?!?!!?we cant concede any goals!!!!!!!!!!
Come on arsenal u can fucking do it
Only 6 subs?!
I’m concerned about the right side. They are coming through the right wing with alarming ease.
The left wing isn’t much safer either
Anyone know a reliable stream?
I’m on the way to work at the moment and as good as arseblog live text feed is I need to watch haha
Half time. nil nil. need 2 goals. anfield 1989 revisited.
Poldi and ozil not playing well, dont know why wenger went for poldi when he’s hardly played. Ox best arsenal player on pitch, after per of course
Robben! What a cunt
Game on. I wish Arsenal will play this line up more often in the PL. Very direct.
And that’s its folks!
Podolski on fire.
what a save by fabianski !!!
Good game. Arsenal bows out of CL wt heads high. If they play d remaining PL games this way they may be in for d double.
I also am worried about the continued absence of McCringleberry. HE’S NOT EVEN ON THE BENCH!?!?
