Welbeck and Iwobi to the rescue! Atleti don’t score many goals so I can see it being a tight scoreline. Arsenal’s defence is obviously a calamity so you never know but having the first game at home, where you are good, could put you in a decent position going into the second leg if you are leading.

Welbeck doesn't look like a complete reeeetarded clown when he's been shooting lately. So he's massively improved. Add his usual defensive work into it, and I probably would've started him anyway.

Hopefully Ramsey and Ozil turn up too.

He did that for us for a little bit under Moyes. Problem is you just know he’ll miss a big chance, and against a defence as stingy as Atletico’s you need to take them. Think that could be what costs you in the tie. And Cech and Mustafi, obviously.

Looking forward to it, though. You’ve never played them have you? And Simeone vs Wenger has been a highly anticipated managerial battle for a long while.

Welbeck's shocking one on one with Neuer will never leave my memories.

Tbf even in the saints game he missed an absolute shocker

Don’t remind me, Arab. You just knew the useless caaaant was gonna miss.

If that had went in moyes would've still been manchester u manager now.

he chipped the ball into Neuer's hands ffs

we would've won the CL under him if it went in Andrew bookmark

btw lads, tune into channel 5 at 10pm tonight. Very special documentary on the rivalry between Fergie and Wenger.

Arsenal's chief executive Ivan Gazidis - the man who will ultimately recommend a new head coach to owner Stan Kroenke - believes Mikel Arteta could be the man to replace Arsene Wenger, Sky Sports News understands.

always said at the start that Arteta could replace him

Would be a brave move if they did that.

Rooney taught him that.

Been saying it since they announced he was leaving.

Either go top bins for an Allegri or Conte, or take a risk on an Arteta or Vieira. Or a young Bundesliga coach.

Don't want an Ancelotti, no disrespect to him. he'd improve us, but not by much.

the article also says Rodgers and Benitez aren't being considered as well Meke

That's music to my ears.

Rafael Benitez has led @NUFC to four consecutive #PL victories – he last won five in a row as @LFC boss back in 2009

that's unreal considering he's working on a tight budget tbh

Seems like Jorginho could be joining City in the summer.

Sky don't know chit tbh, they just ripped most of that article from the telegraph one a few days ago.

Think it'll be arteta or Vieira, which I'll be fine with. Can still dream for a top coach tho

Philippe Auclair: "Arsène Wenger is furious to have to leave Arsenal... I am convinced that it was not his choice... The Arsène that I spoke with yesterday is not an Arsène who wants to leave Arsenal, he is the opposite." (RMC)

Delete this, peks. No postive comments about Benny Dreadful allowed on this article.

he was obviously told to leave by the board

Should have gone the other year when they won the FA Cup. Club only have themselves to blame. Looking forward to the reaction if they do appoint Arteta.

Bit of a Moyes esque appointment Daz?

Rumours we wouldn't have offered him a new deal last year, but we had no structure in place to function without him. But we brought in that barca DoF and the super scout Mislintat.
