This is an updated version of the blog for the 1st leg… https://shewore.com/2014/08/19/10-reasons-why-we-will-beat-besiktas-starting-11/

CL

1)  Our Record in qualifiers is Played 13, Won 12, Drawn 1, Lost 0, Goals For 29, Goals Conceded 3.

2) We beat another Turkish side (Fenerbahce) at this stage last season.

3) Gibbs is out for 2 weeks (2 months in Arsenal time), Koscielny is fit as is Mertesacker, which means the defence picks itself with Chambers likely to be on the bench.

4)  2 of the Arteta/Ramsey/Wilshire midfield trio are out. Arteta is Injured and Ramsey is  Suspended.

5) Sanogo and Diaby are sadly listed as available , luckily all our German World Cup Winners are too.

6) Flamini will be Mr Versatile tonight covering every position on pitch (if needed) including between the sticks.

7)  Their main threat will come from Chelsea reject Demba Ba.

8) Their Champs League record reads.. P 66, W 22, D 12, L 32, GF 64  GS 103. The Arsenal’s.. P 174, W 88, D 39, L 47, GF 279, GS 174.

9) The Arsenal Vs Turkish sides, P 8, W 4, D 4, L 0 GF 12, GS 2

10) Wenger Knows, get a good win tonight and it could be all steam ahead for not only the Champs League for real but also for signing the 3 or 4  players we will need to really challenge this season on all fronts now that Giroud could be out for a long spell.

My Starting 11 – Chesney – Deb, Kos, BFG, Monreal – Flamini, Jack, Ozil – Joel, Ox, Alexis

10 Reasons why we will beat Everton + my starting 11

1) The Germans are back, I don’t expect all of them to play 90mins but they could all get a run out of some kind today.

2) Diaby and Sanogo are fit, fit for what tho is the question.

3) Arteta is also missing, which means the end of the failed Arteta/Ramsey/Wilshere midfield 3 experiment.

4) The Ox and Campbell are fully fit and raring to go !

5) We can’t do much worse than than we did in this fixture last season when we got trounced 3-0

6) Since our first meeting in 1905 we have beaten Everton 99 times and they have only beaten us once in the last fifteen matches  (bbc sport)

7) Debuchy, yes its early to really be able to comment but he does look like hes slotted in effortlessly.

8) Everton are without their great English hope Ross Barkley.

9) Alexis, all the style all the tricks, he’s been wasted on the right without nobody on the end of his work.

10) Wenger Knows he must either sign a Striker, Def Mid and Cen Back or its round holes and square pegs again this season.

My Starting 11 (4-3-3) Chesney – Debuchy, Kos, BFG, Monreal – Flamini, Ramsey, Wilshere – Ox, Alexis, Campbell

COME ON THE ARSENAL !!!

2) We beat another Turkish side (Fenerbahce) at this stage last season.

3) Gibbs is out for 3 weeks (3 months in Arsenal time), Koscielny is fit, Mertesacker didn’t travel, which means the defence picks itself with little or no backup.

4) Part 3 of the Arteta/Ramsey/Wilshire midfield trio experiment, let’s hope it’s more Man City than Palace.

5) Sanogo and Diaby didn’t travel with the squad, Sadly 4 Germans and Theo are also missing.

6) Flamini will be Mr Versatile tonight covering every position on pitch (if needed) including between the sticks.

7)  Their main threat will come from Chelsea reject Demba Ba.

8) Their Champs League record reads.. P 66, W 22, D 12, L 32, GF 64  GS 103. The Arsenal’s.. P 174, W 88, D 39, L 47, GF 279, GS 174.
