Arsenal Vs PSG
Wednesday 22nd November
19:45 BST
Emirates Stadium


Thought we might as well get onto this one. Somehow we drew 1-1 against PSG away which was mightily impressive considering they hammered us. This time we face them at home and honestly we should be giving a lot better performance and try to win so we can win the group for once. We have Basel away next which will be tricky so it's better to win now and have a good chance to win the group. PSG are missing Di Maria afaik so that works for us. Cavani actually scores now so I doubt he will miss as many. But without Di maria they lose a bit of creativity.

I can't see anyone returning for Arsenal from injury but we will see a different team than we did against United. Xhaka will start for sure. Iwobi too I believe. Giroud might as well. But then that means Sanchez or Walcott gets benched. Hmm I might be wrong then.

Would like to see this team

-------------------------------Ospina--------------------------------
Jenkinson-----------Mustafi------------Koscielny-------------Gibbs
-----------------Xhaka-------------Ramsey-------------------------
Sanchez------------------Ozil--------------------------Iwobi
------------------------Giroud------------------------------------


Looking forward to this match a lot.

We NEED to put in a performance!
If we do, we will win, I am sure. From what I've seen and heard, PSG haven't been impressive this season as compared to previous seasons.

Is this the spanking that's been lurking around the corner?

positive energy pls

Don't bother with him. This kind of attitude is what got him booted out of the BVB section anyway.

Matter of time before I boot myself out of the Arsenal section too.

GS will remain an illicit affair and Klopp will guide my way to a promised land.

Team news for the game:

Ramsey and Walcott didn't train today (they were in "recovery") but should be okay for tomorrow.

Alexis has "recovered completely" from his muscle problem.

Wenger yet to decide if Giroud or Alexis will be up front.

Serge Aurier to miss the game for PSG due to having his visa revoked at the last minute:

Don't mean to stir up a hornet's nest, but is there a precedent for this? UKBA is very frustrating, from what I have heard as anecdotal evidence many times.

Ospina; Jenkinson, Mustafi, Koscielny, Gibbs; Coquelin, Ramsey; Alexis, Ozil, Iwobi; Giroud

lmaoooo Coquelin-Ramsey. Why Not Xhaka-Ramsey ffs


Iwobi back

Gibbs

Giroud

Xhaka ostracization continues?

Much banter.

Where's Walcott?

Looks like Arsene's favourite son is back in the starting XI no matter what (:

Also, wtf is LW?

Bench:

Cech, Gabriel, Monreal, Elneny, Xhaka, Chamberlain, Walcott

dat bench



PSG XI v Arsenal: Areola - Maxwell, T.Silva, Marquinhos, Meunier - T. Motta, Krychowiak, Verratti - Matuidi, Cavani, Lucas

Legit thinking PSG's midfield will get the better of us at home.

Ramsey will eat Verratti imo

Chalk this one up as a loss lads.

Coquelin 1 yellow away from suspension


If there is any match for a rash tackle, this is the one.

but around 92nd min when we are 4-1 down.

Well we have Coquelin and Ramsey in midfield, I don't expect to dominate. We have Giroud up front too so we can forget counter attacking. Our only hope is a moment of brilliance from Mesut/Alexis and park it for the rest of the game.

Do you guys even want to win? First place doesn't look too enticing.
