Team News
Arsenal
Besiktas
- Arsenal are looking typically depleted already at this early stage in the season, with Olivier Giroud ruled out for up to 3 months with a suspected broken foot.
- Yaya Sanogo was not fit enough to make the bench at the weekend but he may be rushed back, with Alexis Sanchez ineffective through the middle at Goodison Park.
- Mikel Arteta will sit out once again, while Aaron Ramsey is suspended after being sent off in last week's first leg.
- Atiba Hutchinson remains a doubt for the Turkish outfit, but after having a week's rest he could be in line for a return to the starting lineup.
- Oguzhan Ozyakup returns to the Emirates to face the club from whom he joined Besiktas two years ago.
I'd let tom cleverly date my daughter, because there's no danger of penetration
Alexis Sanchez will save Arsenal tonight.
@AndreyNosatii Good call.
@AndreyNosatii that dude is disllusioned
1-1, come on Black Eagles
THIS REF IS SOMETHING ELSE
I'm not sure if Arsenal is going to win but if it does, the scoreline should be 2-0 or 3-1.
Wenger must use podolski or Sanogo replace Sanchez. Sanchez cant play forward.
@jayvin83 But Podolski can't t play foorball ... And as a single forward he is even more useless , since he can't control the ball in tight spaces.
No man of the match?
Would not be surprised if some key players were waiting on yesterday's result, before making decisions
Hope this does not persuade Wenger he can do without replacing Giroud. Holding thumbs there are some deadline day signings, striker, CDM, CB
Could try Wilshere on the right and Ox in the middle. They've both played really well there before.
Early season jitters. Lack of depth in established strikers perplexing, to put it mildly. Imagine the recriminations if arsenal don't get through.without Ramsey and Giroud this looks tough, and the lack of those two betrays squad issues.
Besiktas are not good enough to play for holy competition but here they're anyway to fill the place or maybe cause some upset. Raise your game or perish gunners.
@soul_snatcher lol! like arsenal is any better than beşiktaş! eagles gonna fly tonight!
grioud ramsey out seems gunners have no scorer i guess eagles win
2 of napoli bilbao n arsenal going out
GO BESIKTAS. YOU CAN DO IT.
@Sinaj what do you mean ? ZERO shots on target after 82 min...!
i think draw 1-1 , black eagles fly
Also, Rosicky take the place of wilshere.
Win Besiktas
arsenal will lose more than 3 goal
So damn lucky gunners
@Sinaj yeah, no shots on goal for Besiktas...very lucky for Arsenal.
@neumi17 Clear Penalty not called in favor of them. Yeah. So Lucky.
@Sinaj nonsense red card. so lucky.
Alexis=8.4??? stupid rating. He wasted at least 6 chances. Alexis's reasonable rating is about 7
