    Lampard weak point in that team. He's going to have to have an ace game to deal with the pace of Arsenal.

    Tactically Wenger is so naive.

    Loads of lads being rested for the Bayern game I guess. Very interesting to see how Lampard gets on. Could get hammered in midfield :o

    The European games seem to be effecting selections alright.
    Hoping Arsenal go for this from the start.
    These are the games we need to be winning.

    Monreal against Zab and Navas with little to no help from Ozil. Dont fancy it.

    I'd disagree with that.

    He has been successful using numerous different formations such as 4-4-2, 4-5-1/4-3-3, 4-2-3-1 and what was essentially a 4-2-2-2 at times over the last 18 years.

    So weird to see Welbeck out for Arsenal.

    Even weirder to see Lampard for City though!

    Do you think Ozil is best suited to the left wing? Especially against Zabaleta and Milner. Debuchy will be killed.

    Arsenal finally have a pacey striker aswell as a quick winger in Sanchez surely ozil would thrive of playing passes through to them if he played centrally? Wasted out left in that sense.

    No but it's hardly enough to say he's tactically naive. Tactically the team look pretty well set up so far, going by the actual way they've been playing.

    He should probably go with trying to slot those under the keeper

    Danny Mills on my commentary just compared Welbeck to Diego Costa... Bizarre.

    I haven't seen this level of pressing from Arsenal in a long time. The worry would be that they might fade after 65-70 minutes if they keep it up.

    Aye, you'd think in Welbeck's case it would be once bitten twice shy though

    And if he had of, Hart could have made an easy save.

    Aguero as a lone striker is really hampering Man City. Only one in the box to aim at.
