10 reasons why we will beat Bayern Munich + starting 11

14 Replies

1) In 2013, we only lost to Bayern Munich on away goals. We have since improved.

2) Our win percentage leading up to the Munich games last time was 47%. Since then, our win percentage is 70%

3%) What let us down in the first leg last time out was defensive errors. Since then, we’ve kept shit loads of clean sheets and have a keeper whose never been in better form.

4) Bayern Munich might be unbeaten in the Bundesliga this year, but this is a bigger indictment on how poor the German league is, than how good Munich are.

5) Bayern Munich are not challenged week in week in Germany. They will struggle to raise their performance for us.

6) No Ribery. No Shaqiri. No chance.

7) The last time Bayern Munich failed to score in a a game was against Arsenal.

8) Mesut Ozil.

9) We have a Big Fucking German. Bayern Munich don’t.

10) Wenger knows, this is the one he wants…

Predicted Starting XI – Chesney, Sagna, Kos, BFG, Gibbs, Jack, Flamini, Santi, Ozil, Rosicky, Giroud.

Hope everyone reading this whose going the game tonight get’s in early to take part in RedActions card display.

COME ON THE ARSENAL !!!!

10 Reasons why we will beat LFC + starting 11

Yes we have just revamped last weeks highly successful 10 reasons….

1) The Legend of Anfield 89 lives on strong in all of us, its the 25th anniversary of that famous night on 26th May this season, surely the only reason needed for a win today!

2) Our defence has been rock solid so far this season, Per and Kos have not lost a game they both started *apart from liverpool last week* and completed 90 minutes on going back to 1926

3) Liverpool have a few of their defenders missing, Glen Johnson and Daniel Agger are both out.

4) Our keeper, Sir Chesney has the *Joint* most clean sheets so far this season.

4) Arsenal are the only team to stop Sturridge *apart from last week* and Suarez scoring this season when they have played together, this was the 2-0 win on 2nd Novemeber.

5) The only Premiership Games LFC have lost in their last 10 have all been to teams above them.

6) Jack is rumored to be back fit, with Ramsey injured he will be the driving force in the midfield which we lacked at Southampton *and Liverpool away*

7) Suarez has only ever scored 1 goal when coming up against The Arsenal

8) Girouds song comes from a Beatles track, its fate that he will score 4 today and the away end will be singing that song, La La La Giroooooud, long into the night. *he will prob start on the bench*

9) We have scored 2 goals in each of our last 5 league games *apart from Liverpool and Man Utd*

10) Last but not least, the reason we will win today is to do with music, we all know that London’s music scene is better than Liverpool’s. We had the Rolling Stones, they have the Beatles. The Stones win hand down every time! Oh and Ray Davies from the Kinks? Yes he was a Gooner.

Likely line-up: Chesny, Jenks, BFG, Kos, Monreal, Flamini, Arteta, Ox, Gnarby, Sanogo, Podolski

Arsenal’s young midfielder’s step up again

2 Replies

First it was Aaron Ramsey. Then it was Jack Wilshere. Now its is Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. They are 23, 22 and 20 respectively. And this season, when called upon, have all stepped up.

Ramsey was the first one to show he had taken giant strides forward. After injury and lack of form, some felt his Arsenal career should be over. 13 goals this season saw him named Arsenal Player of the Month an unprecedented 4 time’s in a row between August and November. He stepped up.

Whilst Ramsey was in sparkling form, Jack Wilshere was making headlines for other reasons, which led me to call for him to “stop being a chav and grow up”, after his single fingered salute to the Manchester City fans. It seemed what Wilshere needed was not an arm around him, but more responsibility.

With Ramsey’s injury against West Ham, Wilshere was pushed back into the middle, and he began to shine, peaking by scoring and assisting in the victory of Aston Villa. With Ramsey out, he stepped up.

Next up was Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Returning from his own injury problems, his chances looked limited. But with Wilshere and Ramsey crocked, and new signing Kim Kallstrom injured before he’d even joined, Wenger had little choice but to play The Ox in central midfield – a position where Wenger has been saying for some time his future lies.

And boy, did The Ox step up. A 2 goal man of the match performance yesterday against Crystal Palace shows that we have plenty of depth and talent in central midfield. Yes, we need further back up in defensive midfield, however in front that, in the ‘water carrier’ role, we have 3 talented young men all with the ability to step up when needed.

Oxlade-Chamberlain started off shakey, playing a few too many Hollywood passes and perhaps trying to hard. But as he relaxed and got into the game, his talent shone through. 2 brilliant goals were only the tip of the iceberg. His ability to pick up the ball deep and run with it is something that we missed against Southampton. Players hate running back towards their own goal, and The Ox’s ability to drive with the ball got Crystal Palace running scared.

We might have problems elsewhere in the side (upfront, defensive midfield), however, we can sit confidently knowing that we have 3 top midfielder’s who, when required, have all stepped up to the plate.
