surely we would get a goal out of any two of those strikers at least.

I'm told Rosický and Gibbs pass fitness tests and start tonight. Özyakup and Miquel on bench. My story: http://bit.ly/zflKyz. #AFC.

Arsenal will line up with a 4-1-2-3 formation. Song will hold, with Chamberlain and Rosický in front. Usual front three. #AFC.

The only thing I can say about tonight's game is that it won't definitely be a scoreless draw, that's for sure. Other than that though, I have no fucking idea. Looks like a 3:3 game if some of our offensive players have good games.

I know I'm gonna end up dissapointed again but I'm looking forward to it quite a lot, hoping for a miracle.

VP stay healthy.

'Usual front three'. Does that mean Benayoun, or Gervinho?

Either way, really can't see Milan not scoring tonight. It shall most likely come at 3-0, too.

Edit: Just seen that Benayoun is out.

If Vermaelen gets back to his best and we manage to keep Djourou off the pitch for 90 minutes then we would have a decent chance of stopping them from scoring.

What I want to see is arrogance and aggression from our players especially Verm and Kosc. If we get in their faces early the likes of Ibra might lose their cool and do something stupid which would help us greatly. We have been too nice for too long and I want our players to show we're not to be messed with tonight!

Klaus

Arrogance?

Patters

Talking to fellow gooners today it seems that, as fans, we're just trying to make the best out of a horrible situation. We accept that we're knocked out but just hope that we can win on the night to keep the winning momentum going. It seems we will get to see Oxlade Chamberlain take on a central role and I am looking forward to seeing that. If we can win on the night, we hopefully will have brought some respectability to the aggregate scoreline.

Mirth

I'm just looking forward to a spirited performance to show that the last two games were not flukes.

I'm still not sure what the true face of this Arsenal team is, I think we all accept that the previous lot were bottlers but this team have more spirit but lack quality which probably explains the yo-yo results rather than just one sharp decline.

At any rate, a good performance - regardless of whether we win or lose - will keep the momentum up going into the final third of the season which is the most important thing, and in some ways I'm almost relieved to be out of the CL.

I just don't want anyone injured. We shouldn't be playing our strongest team for this.

Lol what are you crazy, we have been scoring goals for fun at home. Fifteen in our last three.

I get the feeling from what I've read that Milan aren't going to allow themselves to get complacent here. They seem serious and focussed, and Allegri seems like a manager that won't allow them to rest on their laurels. Still think we'll win on the night and give them a bit of a scare, but very unlikely it'll get any better than that. But you never know!

TomasCR

I just hope we don't conceede in the first 20 mints or so, have my worries they'll get one from some break and the game will be over as soon as it happens.

Scoring 4 seems relatively easy on paper but in reality, against a well organized and experienced team, it's hardly going to happen.

I don't even think we have a chance, I'm just looking forward to seeing whether the team really is up for it and will fight. If they struggle to have a real go from the first minute then I'll be seriously pissed off.

Klaus

Our midfield is the biggest concern imo. Chamberlain is too attacking and Rosicky just doesn't bother with defensive stuff. Milan meanwhile have one of the hardest working mids in Serie A in Nocerino. We have to get the wide play to work this time. Either cross it or cut it back to Chamberlain.
