Matchday Thread - Arsenal v Bayern - 20 October 2015

BYOV. Bring your own Vaseline.

Wouldn't actually be surprised if we draw 2-2 with a mostly second-choice team. If Wenger is resting Sanchez and Özil as implied in the post-match presser, I guess we'll see Ox starting. Doubt he'll have the balls to change much more than that though.

Cech
Debuchy, Gabriel, Koscielny, Gibbs
Coquelin
Cazorla, Ramsey
Walcott, Giroud, Ox

...that's my guess.

I read that Ozil and Alexis will start.

Gonna get pumped by the future Arsenal manager lads

I feel Ix would stop supporting the Arse if Pep became our manager

Wenger on stopping Lewandowski: "That’s where we need the experience of Mertesacker and Koscielny..."

Baby Jesus help us. He's going to start Mertesacker.

Well she did say that Alexis was worse than Hitler once upon a time

Will never happen so I'm not worried.

Alexis v1.barca was an awful diver playing in the shadow of Messi. I had no idea he would instantly upgrade himself to Alexis v2.arsenal, which is a much better model who plays with passion and heart, and doesn't dive or act like a Barca clown.

I enjoy Alexis v2.arsenal.

Pep Guardiola will become the next manager of Arsenal Football Club.

He'll have big Mikel Arteta as his assistant who will take over when he leaves and become our best manager of all time after winning 5 CL's in a row in addition to the 2 Pep will get us.

Looking forward to the second part of that prediction.

I must admit i had similar view of Barcelona Alexis as IX. I'm Just happy that we are club that let him be him self.

For today i just wonder, what Arsenal will show up.

Always knew Alexis was a pitbull. There were stories how Barcelona scouted him. They didn't only scout his footballing abilities but his personality, family, personal life etc. and they discovered that he was a fighter so they signed him. Sure there were dives here and there but in La Liga playing for Barcelona, you're awarded for diving so it was bound to happen.

Arsenal: Cech, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Cazorla, Ramsey, Ozil, Sanchez, Walcott

VS

Bayern: Neuer, Lahm, Boateng, Alaba, Bernat, Alonso, Vidal, Thiago Alcantara, Muller, Douglas Costa, Lewandowski.

Send them home crying !!!!!! (not happy tears please)

So far we're not absolutely awful, but the next 45 minutes will show what we're made of.

Bloody hell we are not awful, we are mess. Half team want to press the other want to stay deep. Scared, shit passing, yet we are the one that should have scored. Hope Arsene calm them down, we can win this if we sort our self.

Fraking Neuer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Giroud, Bellerin, Ozil GET IN!!! Ja Gunners Ja!!!

Wow the commentary was awful, bigging up Bayern players constantly and criticising our defending.

Honestly it was like watching an arsenal game as a Bayern supporter. Dominated possession then let in a stupid goal which was doubled on a break in the last few mins.

For all the shit comments, Bellerin BURNED THEM when was counting!

Bellerin is incredible. I really don't see how Debuchy can break into the first team atm
