ARSENALNFRIENDS - Arsenal Forum for Arsenal Fans

RVP is saying that he does not know which AZ Alkmaar will turn up at Emirates Stadium for the CL tie tomorrow night.

The Dutch champions gained an unlikely draw at the DSB Stadium a fortnight ago. Ronald Koeman’s side were outplayed for much of the Group H encounter but grabbed a last-gasp equaliser through David de Mendes Silva.

We will ensure passage through to the Knockout Stages with a victory. Despite the first game, Van Persie is mindful. “It is strange because they are playing in an unpredictable way,” said the striker before the weekend game with Spurs. “In the Dutch FA Cup they drew with an amateur side [in normal time] and only won in extra time. Last week they lost 4-2 to Ajax where they had a good first half and a very poor second half.

“So I don’t really know what to expect from them. But if we play our own game in our own stadium with our own fans backing us we have a good chance to win. If we do that, get ten points and basically we qualify.”

I think the team to line up will be :

Almunia
Gibbs, Gallas,Vermaelen,Sagna
Song
Eboue, Diaby
Fabregas
RVP, AA

I hope we secure a quick 2-0 lead and rest some of these players by giving the others like Senderos,Nasri and Eduardo a run out.

Also, hope no more injuries as our hospital ward is growing with Walcott, Clichy, Rosicky, Bendtner and Fabianski crowding out that area.

All said, I think we will win 3-0 at the Emirates.

Go Gunners!!!

I don't give a damn about the result, I just want 3 points!!

COME ON ARSENAL!

hey genoa, that means you give a damn! haahaaa. We must win.

I guess 1-0 to the Arsenal.

Fabregas added that him and his team mates need to hone their killer instinct, starting with their Champions League match against AZ Alkmaar.

So maybe Fab will be motivated enough to be fabulous in the game.

Ahahah, you're dead right! I meant that I don't need a 5-0 win, I'll be happy with a 1-0 to the Arsenal!

STAND UP FOR THE ARSENAL!

3 points can push us up to next round..We must be group winner to avoid big teams in next round.

COME ON, YOU GUNNERS!

STAND UP FOR THE ARSENAL!

We are playing at stakes against AZ Alkmaar..they can turn to be a dangerous side that have nothing to lose.We have to be cautious and a slim win would satisfy me.
