Arsenal v/s AC Milan, Tuesday, 6th March 2012, 19:45 GMT

Have to go for it. I'd try n spring a surprise of two if I were Arsene.

Maybe play 4-4-2, with RvP partnered with Chamakh or Park.

Get Chambo and Gervinho on the wings with a middle two of Song and Arteta, if he's ok by then.

Rex

Can´t see Arteta playing tbh. Hope he is alright.

Don´t know if it was mentioned in the match thread, but that hit on Arteta by that prick Henderson was no accident! I´m sure he only meant to nudge him a bit, but there was nothing accidental about the contact at all.

Mirth

Who do we have left in midfied?

Song-Rosicky-????

Rex

AOC?

With Walcott and Gervinho on the flanks?

Armor

That or Benayoun with Rosicky in a deeper role. Not inspiring options.

Rex

Was it Olympiacos away where Rozza and Benayoun played together? Not good. 🙂

Klaus

--------------- van Persie-----------
Gervinho ---- Chamberlain ----- Walcott
----------- Song ----- Rosicky --------
--------------- Defence ----------------

Armor

Not sure, i know Frimpong and Coquelin both started so maybe Benayoun played on the left? I'm fairly sure the 2 played in the centre at least once this season though. The end at Villa away might have been one of the times.

Rex

Something like that, yes.

Klaus, that isn´t really a red hat though is it? :hmm:

I like. My only fear is Wenger will play Benayoun to 'help keep the ball'

Rex

How about this one Klaus?

I don't think it matters much. We're not going to stop Milan from scoring and we're not going to qualify. I just want a team that can challenge them down the flanks on a good, quick turf. It's about restoring a bit of reputation for me. Beating them 2-1 would be a start. It would give the team some confidence going into the Newcastle game too.

we might nick a win, but it wont matter.. however, I dont think we'll even nick that win.. i think a 2-2 draw at best. lets put up a decent showing in this game and then concentrate on securing 4th and even chasing Spuds for 3rd

Rex

Liverpool in the first half today pressed us the way Milan did the other week. We, unfortunately, showed once again that we are unable to cope with it.

I think Milan away from home and with that 4 goal cushion will be more cautious. Good for us.

flobaba

Seen the game they played versus Palermo. Zlatan was in unstoppable mode. Milan punished Palermo on the counter for about 3 of their 4 goals. I believe they will employ similar tactics against us. Our midfield and defense both will have their work cut out for them on Tuesday. Should be an entertaining game, whatever the result.

TomasCR

I thought that in an ideal world, with an ideal line-up (Arteta included), we could have a chance if we started with the same spirit as against Spurs (think it's possible) and were, let's say, 2:0 up at half time but with a middle trio of Song, Rosicky and Benayoun (and you know Chamberlain won't start there), we have hardly any chance. Hope we'll win but that's about all.

I am Arsenal Till I Die

The only way we could win on aggregate is if Milan get an early red card or something.

Biggus

Not even going to bother watching this, I've better things to do with my life- Like washing my hair.
We've blown it and the sooner we move on the better.
