MIRACLES??
Arsenal welcome AC Milan for the return leg of the Round of 16 knock out tie of the Champions League tonight. After our shambolic performance against the Rossoneri at the San Siro in the first leg, we are left facing a mountain to climb needing to win by 5 clear goals(or a penalty shootout win if we win 4-0). Many have termed our task as Mission Impossible, and you can say they are right to say so logically speaking.
But we are the Arsenal and I hope we can come out tonight and give the Milan side the fright of their lives. The manager has drummed up the team and he has sounded the war cry when he announced that we are going to go for it. Despite our injury problems - eight of out ten midfielders are injured - we are not looking for any excuses tonight and in Arsene's own words, "you can tell Milan that tomorrow we'll play on a football pitch, a real football pitch".
How we're going to go about it...I don't know to be frank. An early goal will really set the tone for the game. But this much I know: we're gunning for you Milan!
Team Line Ups:
Arsenal(4-1-2-3/4-0-6!): Wojciech Szczesny, Kieran Gibbs, Thomas Vermaelen, Laurent Koscielny, Bacary Sagna, Alex Song, Tomas Rosicky, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gervinho, Theo Walcott, Robin van Persie.
Substitutes: Lukasz Fabianski, Carl Jenkinson, Johan Djourou, Ignasi Miquel, Oguzhan Ozyakup, Ju Young Park, Marouane Chamakh.
Manager: Arsene Wenger.
AC Milan(4-3-3): Christian Abbiati, Djamel Mesbah, Thiago Silva, Phillipe Mexes, Ignazio Abate, Urby Emmanuelson, mark van Bommel, Antonio Nocerino, Stephan El Shaarawy, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robinho.
Substitutes: Marco Amelia, Flavio Roma, Gianluca Zambrotta, Daniele Bonera, Simone Ganz, Alberto Aquilani, Mario Yepes.
Manager: Massimiliano Allegri.
Whatever happens, let's hold our heads high! COME ON ARSENAL!
