Arsenal v Olympiacos - The Champions League




Injuries for today :
Gervinho
Walcott
Wilshere
Diaby
Benayoun
Koscielny
Vermaelen
Squillaci
Djourou


4 center backs....Awesome. Looking at this list just solidifies Wengers decision to go for Per. I'm guessing Alex Song is going to be the one to step back next to the german and hold the fort down, which means we'll probably see Frimpong or Rosicky. Personally, I'm hoping for the latter. More mature, better strength, good awareness..even though I still have a beef with him when he scored that thriller against the U.S. in 2006.

Injuries aside, it shouldn't cause much of a problem. It's a home game, against a team whom we have had a decent record. If for some reason the result doesn't favor us tonight, we can't use the excuse that we didn't have the players necessary.
Look at Man United. Their list of hurt players is longer than ours at the moment. yet, it doesn't look like they are slowing down with their form. It's a test of quality and heart to see if the players you have can cope with the hard work ahead of them.

Anyways, a win tonight would go a long way into strengthening the consistency that we have seen a little spark of after Bolton.

 WE LOVE YOU ARSENAL!
