Dynamo Zagreb vs Arsenal

bad2dabone

Arsenal begin their journey in Europe this season vs the Croatian version of the invincibles this evening.
Zagreb are undefeated in forty one games and will surely fancy a bit of giant killing tonight.
But arsenal look like a team who are poised to give someone a whipping as in Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla they boats the two players in the top five leagues who've created the most chances per game. Arsenal also lead in shots per game.

Ramsey and Bellerin are rested and mertesacker hasn't travelled after being in a car accident earlier in the week.

Ozil and Cazorla are decent sailors alright. Man the jib sail!

Is Cech injured or being rested for a CL game?

Self interest as he is in my fantasy league team...

He's on the bench

Those poor saps in the middle waving their big champions league logo always make me laugh. :P

I worry when I see Gibbs in the team.
Hope i'm wrong and he stars.

tayto lover

AAhhhh Ronnie feckin Whelan ........... sound off now.

Rayne Wooney

Thought it would be a packed stadium, lots of empty seats

Kirby

Its the running track style. Hate it. Fans miles away....as is the camera. Feels like I'm watching through a telescope.

Super header from giroud, keeper did well

gosplan

Sign up that speedy striker!

He might be speedy but can't hit a barn door so far, thankfully, long may it last!

Ugh, that's pathetic.

bad2dabone

Awww man

Kirby

How has Giroud not put that away?

The reason is one of the words in your question.

Kirby

He's a yard out though. I just dont get it. Show some composure....

Good lad. :rolleyes:

gandalf

Fs Giroud keep year trap shut!

bad2dabone

Sort yourself out Ollie

gandalf

Bugger!

Kirby

Oh boy.

Lovely Bloke

omg English football is dead.

Pacifico

Ha typical

Just have to laugh really.

gucci

Lucky finish but a lovely through ball

Marcus Antonius

F*ck me where was Debuchy there? Bloody woeful...great start Arsenal, great start :mad:

tayto lover

Huge gaps in the defence.

keano_afc

Dominate possession......check
Waste some good chances.......check
Concede to the opposition's first attack.....check.

Oh Arsenal, don't ever change.

efb

Don't think that was offside Ronnie, fortuitous on the rebound unlike Arsenal earlier.

Giroud had a great header saved earlier

Mr Blobby

Ox not tracking back again!!
He's such a lazy ****!

efb

Not impressed with our full back choices this eve

Quazzie

Wow, Wenger is getting his CL fúckups out of the way early this year. We usually have a few points on the table before he starts playing reserves to add tension. It seems this year he has decided to go balls out and get us out of Europe nice and early. Top Job Le Prof

tayto lover

That's the wake-up call now lets see what they're made of.

Surely it was Chamberlins man. Apologies arsenal fans I backed ye earlier.

Alfred Borden

I can see why Ramsey plays on the right now

Im actually glad I'm at work. I don't get half as frustrated just reading about it.

FFS hit it first time Santi :mad:

If he hadn't tracked back it wouldn't be 1-0.

Mr Blobby

Ox HAS to track back there. It was the fullback who was forward! You can't expect Debuchy to track their winger & fullback.

Yes but it's something we are notorious for, bloody fullbacks taking up position at CB for some reason! Ox should have done better and was hardly blameless but the player ran into the space where Debuchy should have been

Alfred Borden

Giroud is poor, doesnt even offer any hold up
