@ Smano.....Djourou is in the squad but will not play any role in the match. Mertesacker is out for a month but Wenger has already indicated that TV5 will return to his central role at the back as we welcome back one of our left backs....Besides Coquelin is also available. Our defense will be Sagna, Koscielny, TV5 and Gibbs.

Like i said earlier I expect at least a draw, otherwise 2-1 to Arsenal sounds realistic. AC Milan have very slow players, i just don't see how they'll keep up with our attacking players. Btw their form hasn't been that good lately (apart from the Udinese match)....also glad Gattuso is still out injured.

Taye Taiwo's who is a Milan player on loan at QPR has some five-point plan for Arsenal to deploy...

1. Don’t sit back! Attack Milan in the San Siro. They aren’t used to teams doing it and won’t know how to deal with it.

2. Theo Walcott should target Gianluca Zambrotta, he won’t be able to
deal with his pace.

3. Arsenal’s front three should target Alessandro Nesta with their pace. He does not like tracking runners and is short of pace.

4. If Alberto Aquilani plays, Alex Song should get in his face. He needs time to pick out his potentially deadly passes.

5. Laurent Koscielny can’t let Zlatan Ibrahimovic bully him. If he imposes himself, then Arsenal could be in for a long night.

I agree. Milan will attempt to attack from the centre especially coz their wingers and fullbacks will be outpaced. It is in such games that walcott comes alive coz there will be space for through balls he can run into.

Well, we can safely say, Arsenal are OUT of the Champion's League. They played mediocre tonight and surely deserved to lose.

There's no need to name them. They've just come from a battering at the San Siro. I expect another Martin Four'Neal this weekend against Sunderland.

The Gunners were never in the game from start to finish. At some point I wondered whether I was watching a different team altogether. No excuse for such a performance. Mediocre is an understatement. We made Milan look too good but the fact of the matter is we played s*&t

That has to be our worst performance of the season.....hata we played better in our 8-2 defeat to Man Utd. As early as the 10th minute you could see there was a problem with our players.....no urgency in their play and no one was willing to go forward with the ball. Where was our midfield, what kind of strategy did Wenger have if they was any at all!

I think at the end of the season we need to thank Wenger for what he's done for the club and let him go. For how long will we continue complaining about him. This was clearly an issue to do with wrong tactics because Milan were not that good. I'm sure Swansea would have had a better performance.

The problem with Arsenal is Arsene Wenger and the stupid board. My love in football is always with Arsenal but the foolish manager and the boards are for super profits at the expense of the game.

Mediocre results has been synonymous with Arsenal for the last 3 seasons regardless of the competitions.
My heart goes to RVP and other hardworking players like Song and TV5 whose career will be destroyed by the crap manager.At the end of any career, one may want to show the medals he has won, but this will not happen as long as Wenger and the current board are in Arsenal.

I regret for the lost sleep last night.

Frankly speaking I watched the entire match and it's only when Ox came in that I discovered Walcott had been playing all along. I think the worrying thing for Arsenal about this game is that this is not THE best Milan side ever - Antonini is surely the weakest left back Milan have had in ages and if Mr. Bean had had the foresight to include Ox from the beginning, then Arsenal would surely have caused some problems from that wing! Compare that with Fergie when it comes to Wellbeck and Chicharito. The later got injured and when he resumed, Wellbeck had made so much of an impact that the Pea fell down the pecking order, despite his stellar first season. It's not about experience it's about performance.

Anyway, maybe Arsenal can score 5 past Milan at The Emirates without conceding...

On that note, let me resume my acclimatization to Thursday night football - at least our game is an early kick off. Better some European football than none at all

Nyerified:- State of being beaten senseless. E.g. Arsenal were totally Nyerified by Milan yesterday.
