RWC discusses: Bayern clash

G'day Gooners,
  
 So with Wilshere and Poldolski out for expectedly a month, and Szczesny will be rested, Arsenal has made four changes in the squad. Meanwhile, Nacho Monreal is ineligible for the match, having represented Malaga in the group stages of the competition. Lukasz Fabianski, Abou Diaby, Andrey Arshavin and Kieran Gibbs have all been included.

Gibbs is back!

 This is ridiculous for me, as Wenger said, Szczesny needed a "breather" for him to recharge his mentality. If it is 2 goalies fighting for the first spot then yes, logically I could understand, but to bring back Fabianski who hasn't played a game for more than a year is ridiculous! Especially when Wenger said it will be a must-win game and a game I have discussed that the results can and this Arsenal/Wenger era. 

What type of Arsenal line-up will there be?

As I'd imagine, there will be two types of line-up that could potentially happens today. The first will be the usual one 4-3-3 with a change in the midfield for Ramsey to replace the missing Wilshere while Cazorla will pushed up wide where Podolski plays, meanwhile Diaby will take his spot. Sorry by the time this post was posted there wasn't any time for me to create the line-up visually.

The second type of line-up would be the 4 strikers one that we played the second leg against Milan last season. Although I doubt much Wenger won't go all out tonight, especially when the first leg results weren't that devastating. The four strikers could include Arshavin, Giroud, Ramsey /Chamberlain and Walcott. 

My hope will be that we will play Rosicky this time because I believe he can plays a big part in the game with the marauding turns and runs. 

Wenger will be looking for an early goal, that's for sure.

With the side low on confidence with just a win in the last four games including FA cup shocked exit, rival lost etc.. Wenger will surely be looking for an early goal of sorts to make sure his team gets an early boost and as they say 'Attack is the best form of defence'. 

Without Wilshere, we will be missing those dribblings and direct runs at defence. Let's just hope that tonight, the Gunners will rise. Till then.
