Big Willie Kimmich has been a revelation. Go watch video of Sancho versus him in their recent game. The Englishman had a rough time of it.
Oh, and Dier is playing. We should give him a warm welcome.
This should be a terrific match.
That's a good looking Bayern team tbf
Have to say, I'm really surprised not to see Jesus start over Martinelli.
Good team. Let's do this! Come on you Gunners!
This is the kind of nervous anticipation that we've missed for so long. It feels great to be back among the big teams.
Like the XI. A lot. Just hope Saka's not too badly off. Other than that, let's rock and roll 🤘
It's funny Upamecano is dropped from the team. They probably know our tricky attackers will do him.
Their attack is very worrying , any of those front 4 could hurt us
USArsenal The bench is absurd with this whole squad fit ... plenty of players there who could change the pace of things
Burnwinter well, the topic for today is Raymond Williams's Culture is Ordinary. It tees up subsequent lectures on tactical media and the Situationist International - but is it really necessary? I mean, the ordinary person would probably opt to live their culture as a temporal trajectory that cuts across the strategic propriety of spatially dominant institutions like the University...
Coombs Sounds like a durée positively ripe for a little Dionysian détournement
Bricking it now 🥹
Just realised Sane is probably the first proper winger Kiwior would have to face since he came into the team?
The other tricky winger he faced so far was Conceicao and he struggled at times. We will need to protect him a little here
Clrnc he will struggle. But we have to do our part to make them struggle. Martinelli and Saka need to play like men who know we have Trossard and Jesus in reserve. Must die with their boots on.
Saka's fitness is the real concern here. We need to have 2 strong options on the wings. Then they can't overload against just Saka (like Porto did). Having a fit Martinelli is really huge. He will keep Bayern honest and unable to overload one side or the other.
Burnwinter how dérivetive
Panda Feels good to be excited and proud of our team again 🤩
I'm trying to allow myself to feel this tie as one last "free hit" before my expectations become greater … so let's fucking do 'em, this is our stage now and we've got absolutely nothing to lose
Getting Madrid at Bernebeu vibes. Been too long.
That is a strong Bayern team to be fair...
