Edit. Some newspapers in Italy and also some Milan fans now have Antonini back at left back. He is going to get destroyed.

This guy is their AOC. Young and highly talented player. Scored three times for them. Twice against Udinese and once against Juventus. Everyone has him starting and playing alongside Ibra. Could be the shock factor for them against us.

 

I would go for a back four of Sagna Kosc Verm and Gibbs, with Arteta and Song behind Ramsey (Deserves his place in the side IMO after the goal at the weekend and he played quite well. Sub one of those three for Rosicky at the sixtieth if needs be. Pacey front three of Oxo, RVP and Walcott.

 

Totally agree with Ammaar about Gibbs.

It's a really big game and he is going to get tested, it's far to risky to throw him in without any minutes in the preceding games. I would imagine that this is how Wenger sees the situation.

For me it's got to be Miquel or Coquelin. Probably Coquelin, his energy and commitment to his game is really encouraging - Flamini esque. He could always play Vermaelen there again, but I'm sure TV will be at CB. We've still got Santos to come back at LB and I think Wenger deserves credit for ensuing we've got options there following Clichy's departure.

I also agree that we need to set out to score in Milan. The away goal is a massive advantage and we've got it in our locker to score. It's how we are best set up to play.

 

Leverkusen just equalised against Barca

 

Yep we got mugged over Fabregas.

 

Leverkusen within a whisker of equalising !

 

It was a great move too. Leverkusen look good enough for an equaliser.

 

I wonder what sponsors name we will have on our shirts in Milan

 

Fly Emirates or do we have to change because Milan have the same Sponsor?

 

Is Adler injured again? I know Bernd Leno is a hugely promising talent, but Rene Adler is world class, and you want your best keeper against barca.

 

Danny Alves looks like he's hungover in the Leverkusen game

 

Been out since the start of the season. Serious injury.

 

Probably Fly Emirates. Fair point though, i don't recall ever seeing a game where the 2 sides had the same sponsor.

 

jesus, imagine how good he could be if he wasn't so injury prone? i'd have him over Szczesny in a heartbeat.

 

Only Messi could have done that. Pure genius.

 

Two teams are not allowed to have the same sponsor.When we played Hamburg in the CL we had Dubai on our shirts

 

Amazing, deserved a goal really - exceptional piece of play

 

Maybe Dubai again then? Or 02, they still act as a sponsor, just not shirt's anymore (i do prefer the fly emirates shirts)
