What team would you play for Arsenal

[LoveCity]

It's nestled between Liverpool and Norwich isn't it? We'll have to do the usual PL -> CL rotation for Liverpool and Arsenal, then maybe field a slightly weakened team against Norwich since it's at home. We have a 4 day gap (practically 5 days with Bayern being a night kickoff) between Norwich and Bayern after that, plenty of rest.

Forgot about Hargreaves he could come in for yaya

 

[bugsyblue]

Hart
Zab- Kompany- Savic- Clichy
De Jong
Johnson- Nasri- Hargeaves- Balotelli
Nimely

Subs- Tevez (yes I'd stick him on the bench), Toure, Yaya, Kolarov, Milner, Barry, Pantilimon

Not a cat in hell's chance would I play our strongest 11. In 7 days we have Napoli away, Liverpool away then Arsenal away. My priority this season in order is:

League
CL
FA Cup
Carling Cup.

We have a top squad so we should utilise it.

 

[Blue Haze]

Agree with the OP, pack the midfield and play on the counter. Arsenal's defenders will leak a few goals so if we stay solid at the back, easy 2 goal victory.

Play Milner, De Jong, and Hargreaves in midfield. Forwards of Nasri, Silva, and Aguero.

This could be played 2 days after LIverpool.

If it is I expect the 7 subs in that game to play with 4 others

I would expect something like

Pantilimon
Zab
Toure
Savic
Kolorov
Hargreaves
De Jong
Milner
Johnson
Dzeko
Suarez

This team would suit me just fine. Would also like to see Roman on the bench and depending on scoreline bring him on for half hour. I would be confident of beating Arsenal with that side to be honest.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

I'd like to play the reserves. If I'm honest I'm not bothered about going
Through. The extra 2 or 3 big games could well affect our challenge for the bigger ones.

I never thought I'd say that but I just did .
