Prediction: Borussia Dortmund 1-1 Arsenal

 

for all predictors please post in the Prediction League thread -

 

nice thread ,

I think we can win this , if the defence keeps its head for 90 mins.

 

Draw confirmed then

 

I'm a mod dammit I do what I want
PS the Predo thing is more for my own ego. I still put the Predos in the Perdiction Thread

 

Im driving a total of 16 hours (back and forth) for this game....so Arsenal better show up!

 

Wow where abouts you driving from?

 

Monreal has been ruled out of the match through injury. Gibbs will be back though.

 

Ruled out coz he is injured or coz he was **** against Citey

 

I know u do but reminder is for the other predictors who aren't more.
Ps do u have a scooter mod boy

 

From Switzerland.....

 

Whereabouts in switz u at bobo, if u dont mind me asking?

 

In the northern part...outside Zurich. You also in Switerland?

 

Coolios. My sister just came back from Basel for a holiday. I'm now enjoyng some lovely chocolate!

 

Monreal is out and apparently chambers is ill.

 

Wenger said Chambers should be fine but if not then it'll be a bog day for Hector Bellerin and Gibbs was rested so he should slot in nicely.

 

Arsenal will be going on their Champions League match with a number of reported injuries this time I think Arsene Wenger will have to create an alternative plan, since Calum Chambers is 50-50 indoubt while Mathieu Debuchy and Nacho Monreal are both sideline. Some says that he can use either Mathieu Flamini or Hector Bellerin as an alternative right-back.

While for BVB, Jurgen Klopp has made it clear that Shinji Kagawa is not guaranteed with the the starting line-up but well see if Klopp will be using either Adrian Ramos, Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang, Ciro Immobile and Shinji Kagawa as a replacement for Reus and Hummels

 

I remember Coquelan was used as a RB before as well, forgot about him, but he could be an alternative...But anyways, these makeshift positions are not what you want.

 

Bellerin is an option if chambers is ill.

Ramsey and flamini have both played there too.

 

Couldn't give a stuff about the defence... they're amateurish tactically even when all fit. Stick Bellerin in there and see what the craic is.

We just need Ozil to play in the middle with Oxlade on the left and we'll have a shot.
