Wenger to ring changes for Olympiakos clash
|

Arsene Wenger could change more than half of his team when Arsenal travel to Greece for Tuesday’s final Champions League group stage game against Olympiakos.
The Arsenal boss has been dismayed by the Gunners’ recent performances in the Premier League, with Saturday’s defeat against Swansea proving the last straw for Wenger who accused his team of ‘lacking maturity’.
Wenger also said in his post-match interview that he’s yet to find Arsenal’s ‘right attacking combination’, which means the likes of Andrey Arshavin and Marouane Chamakh could get given opportunities in attack on Tuesday.
Chances
Francis Coquelin is pencilled in to start on Tuesday, while Wenger will make a late decision on whether to play Czech midfield maestro Tomas Rosicky who has only recently returned from injury.
Arsenal have the chance to become Group B leaders if Schalke fail to win at Montpellier next week, bringing more significance to the game in Greece than previous seasons.
Meanwhile, Greek champions Olympiakos look set to have all their players available for Tuesday’s match at the Karaiskakis Stadium, although long-term absentee Avraam Papadopoulous remains out with a knee injury.
If Arsenal don’t become group leaders at least they have the chance to win some Live Casino Games at Betfair after the game. They are sure to provide similar excitement of winning the group.
Wenger needs to change the team always.. Or play with 6 defenders and 4 attackers.
He might ring the changes. How about the board change the manager asap. Come on Pep or is Dennis Bergkamp ready to take charge.
Would that be the Bergkamp who doesn’t fly and couldn’t travel with the team-good thinking!
Wenger will ring the changes. The club has achieved the hard part and qualified for the knockout stages already. Now is the time to allow the first team a full weeks rest and recovery in order to focus fully on WBA next weekend.
idk what Wenger’s thinking, Box passing with the gervinho, walcott, later the Ox? With the German style of Podoski,either Walcott or OX or both( with carzola) can have a dynamic midfield playing with quick passing and direct attack like Dortmund. Damn, i wish we could buy little magician Gotze
Sad thing is our squad isn’t good enough to ring too many changes, take santi and wilshere out of midfield and we don’t have any real quality and depth so easily put in, would like to see theo given a chance up front tho, even tho he is inconsistent at times on the Wong he has a good eye for goal and pace to burn
Wenger has to go now.
Whatever player he decides to use is immaterial, we have already qualified only he must avoid injuries.
d entire team needs to be changed,dey need rest and also arshavin should b given chance,he maks inpact each time he comes on so…y not giv him a run ahead of gervinho.esfeild is our own gozte use him he is wonderfull.i know wenger is waitin for nest season so he will say d boy is a new signing.carzola,wilshire,arteta,matersacter,vermalen,sagna,gibbs,podolski,giroud.all needs rest.play rosicky, ramsy,esfield,cog. And so on….
I’d put this starting XI:
Szczesny
Jenkinson – Djourou – Vermaelen – Santos
Coquelin – Rosicky
Gnabry – Eisfeld – Ramsey
Gervinho.
Its time wenger to find a good holding milfilder who will always stay in front of the back four any time we are attacking then allow arteta to play his normal position then we shall see a change
Wenger should start playing 4-4-2 and stop the Zonal marking. Zonal marking is costing us goals at set pieces as the attacker has an advantage with the jump on the player in defence. Then you will see the old Arsenal back. I would not even play zonal marking in youth teams. Change the formation and leave our Gervinho and we will win again.
I think he needs to change himself ?
I say stop the over passing and elaboration in front or near goal. Shoot and see what happens. Better still get agunner to run at defenders with the ball like Ronaldo did.
The problem is the Arsenal’s style of attack gives defences time to shut shop and stifle the gunners.
Until this changes the gunners will continue to struggle and will be very vulnerable to the sucker punch.
Wenger’s good friend,red faced/rednosed blasted hois defnce for leaking goals. I bleiev he is more ruthless than our fm .That is the difference between a winner and an also ran. Of couse he has the luxury of trillions and abig squad.
You have to make do with what you have. Wenger shd promote some of the more promising youth players to breathe down the necks of the seniors.
Let Ashvin play in his natural position and see what happens.
The cl match is a good one to see what he can do.
Give him a 2nd chance.
Wenger needs to get a Defensive midfielder….You dont need to go to school to know this……. Wenger scouted Celtic’s Victor Wanyama the first, but now he is leaving Manchester United to get him!
people calm dow…they say be careful wat u wish for!!! wenger is still the one, but of course all he needs is critisicm because things arent going our way but dont for call him to go….and kroenke too…usamov is a roman waiting to happen!!
Our players need to show confidence in shooting rather then passing it.And i would like to see 4-1-3-2 with a proper holding midfielder in there. I still believe Wenger knows the best. But that not to be seen till now. At the end goal and win counts and not the possesion.
Come on Arsenal….
