nervous as f**k to be honest, If we go all out on attack this could end real bad, really really bad.
Rest in Peace SE13 :(

I don't see how anyone can be optimistic going into this. At best they'll frustrate us and it'll be a bore draw, at worst they could pick us off on the break for 90 minutes.

If we had managed to come away from Milan 2-0 down, or even 3-0, I'd be slightly hopeful but certainly not expectant. But overturning a 4 goal lead against Italians? It's not happening. Did you see how we defended against Liverpool. God help us if it's that bad tonight

I am just re-posting what i posted in the other thread this afternoon.

Rosicky trained yesterday so i guess he will start. wenger has hinted Ox might start through the middle. Our players have not played a 4-4-2 in eons i am afraid we should we sticking to the system which helped us score a bag-full in the recent games. My line up would be

--------------RVP--------------

Gervinho---------AOC------------Walcott

---------Rosicky--------Song--------

Gibbs----Koscielny---Vermaelen---Sagna

------------Szczesny----------


Our trump card of course would be AOC through the middle.

We have nothing to lose though.
Basically we've already lost 4-0 so we're out, so if we lose 3-0 again we're still out - no difference.

I don't think we'll be battered again though. The players will not want to be humiliated like that again and we do have the advantage of playing on actual grass instead of shite.

Their midfield is f***ing shite. We gotta dominate there so we need Rossers and Song at their best. Their defence is average(bar Silva).

Although sadly I doubt we will see a reversion to Herbert Champman's MW I reckon we could well start the game with at least 4 'forwards' on the pitch which I'm quite exited to see...even though the circumstances are...Ahem...less than ideal.

Why would we play Park or Chamakh - players not good enough to play even shit teams in the league - against AC Milan?

Dead rubber or not Wenger says he's going for it. Playing them 2 aint classed as going for it

I know, theyre not good enough. But imagine how Park must feel when he read were going to play with 4 attackers possibly
and even then he's not going to get any playingtime. :dizzy:
