Interesting that Schalke's home game in the CL was a 2-2 draw against Montpellier. Makes me think we have a chance at their place.
Will be interesting to see what Wenger does about Santos. After what happened at the Emirates, he will surely not play him at LB, will he?
We are more than capable of slaughtering them. We will win comfortably. If we don't it will be because Arsenal87 demoralised the players who all read this forum.
Gibbs may be back... just a rumour though. Santos needs to be dropped... his performances of late remind me of Armand Traore.
Arsenal: Mannone - Sagna - Mertesacker - Koscielny - Vermaelen - Arteta - Wilshere - Cazorla - Podolski - Walcott - Giroud Subs: Shea, Santos, Djourou, Jenkinson, Coquelin, Arshavin, Chamakh
Schalke: Unnerstall, Howedes, Uchida, Fuchs, Matip, Holtby, Afellay, Jones, Neustader, Farfan, Huntelaar
I'm not keen with Vermaelen at LB, but to be honest, he's not exactly been making CB position his own either recently.
Can't be worse than Santos. Also as you say, it takes him away from the centre, where he has been very dodgy.
Gonna say Mannone Sagna Mert Kos Verm Arteta SJW10 Cazorla Theo Giroud Podolski Can see Coq and Arsh making an appearance maybe even Chammy if we get desperate
