That Bayern team isnt very scary.
On paper, it's terrifying. In reality, Müller and Alaba aren't in good form and Alonso is getting on in years.
Muller isnt in the XI posted above. It really isnt any more scary than Chelsea or City. Good team. Better than us, but not on another level.
Finally Madrid will play with Modric-Casemiro-Kroos.I think they only played together a couple of times during the season.
For what I read in Marca Zidane has insisted in finish the plays and try to avoid Napoli's counters(pure logic actually).
Maybe watching Barsa yesterday will help them to avoid the slow style of play when they are overconfident

Because saying out loud that Welbeck is a distinctively average player clearly is a crime against humanity.All I know is that I learned that some Bayern fans are meh.

For the first time in the last years, the match Bayern - Arsenal promises some suspense.
I think Arsenal could win tonight. Bayern haven't looked the same to me in a while. Smart move from Wenger to go 4231, that will be 451 when defending, and all of those attacking players defend from the front.
Except Ozil.
Except Ozil.
Bayerns official line up: Neuer - Lahm, Hummels, Martínez, Alaba - Xabi Alonso, Vidal - Robben, Thiago, Costa - Lewandowski.
The same that was used against Leipzig, by far the best game of the season.

If Arsenal can keep this down to one or two goals they could sneak through at the Emirates for sure.
I really don't get why Wenger sits Cech. Most important game of the season and he doesn't field his best team. Especially since Cech seems to play on another level everytime we play him.
fecks sakeClassic Wenger going for a predictable line up.

I hope Arsenal concede 4 just for not playing Big Pete.
Arsenal are going to get destroyed tonight
Are these just the teams you thought would start?
Can't see Arsenal not getting trashed here.
Starting Coq is a mistake
I think they would have been better off with Elneny beside Coquelin for tonight. Xhaka really doesn't impress me at all, at least Elneny will work hard in midfield.
That midfield will be bullied hard by Vidal.

I would have started Welbeck and Walcott. They need that pace in behind
Why is Jorginho not starting for Napoli, is he not a starter there? And isn't Koulibaly just back from an injury?
Ox being their best player in last few games while playing in midfield and he moves him to the wing because of Xhaka and Coq
Can see Arsenal get there usual spanking from Bayern with maybe a goal if there lucky so going to watch the Madrid-Napoli game, heard good things about Napoli this season so far and haven't seen a full game so hopefully it continues tonight
Typical Wenger. He never fecking learns.Ox being their best player in last few games while playing in midfield and he moves him to the wing because of Xhaka and Coq
I would have definitely started Welbeck in a game like this.
Are you kidding? Lewandowski and Robben(if fit and on form) are better than literally any player in the PL. Then you throw in Vidal, Thiago, Alaba and Hummels, plus Neuer. And the others are Lahm, Douglas Costa and Xabi Alonso. This isn't a league game, it's a knockout round. Consistency doesn't matter here, it's sheer quality in the individual games, and only 2 teams in the world can match that. On paper
What an average looking team. For me it will be a big surprise if they can do anything against Bayern, even with Bayern not being in great form lately.
I am predicting 3-0, Bayern.
Not sure why but I really think Ozil is going to play a blinder tonight.
Bayern to win 2:0, Madrid to win 3:0. You heard it here first folks.
Neuer - Lahm, Hummels, Martínez, Alaba - Xabi Alonso, Vidal - Robben, Thiago, Costa - Lewandowski.
I'm hoping to see Ox play at CM tonight, too. It should be a midfield 3 as a midfield 2 with Ozil as the #10 is risky, but knowing Wenger...
Me too. 2:1 Arsenal.
Because Diawara is better. 19 years old, wants the italian citizenship and wants to play for Italy
I think Ozil's done well in a lot of the big European games for Arsenal. Against Bayern and Barca he seemed like the only player that wasn't lost, along with Alexis and Iwobi's game against Barca. I actually think he's done better than Alexis in these games.

Neuer - Lahm, Hummels, Martínez, Alaba - Xabi Alonso, Vidal - Robben, Thiago, Costa - Lewandowski.
The 2 CBs and Alonso are vulnerable, he should have picked either Walcott or Welbeck to exploit that IMO. Xhaka has been terrible too, seems an easy choice.
Odds on Madrid walking to the final without having to play a hard team?
