wiebikortty Your speculation about the imminent alteration in Arsenal play style when finally Professor Wenger leaves is well founded. I feel that rather than Arsenal continuing with their possession football they used to play and were known for just like Barcelona Arsenal will now sink into playing the kick and follow system most EPL teams are known for. That will be sad. It could be very sad indeed. Because win or lose lovers of good football will still enjoy Arsenal game. Let us keep our fingers crossed, hoping and praying that Arsenal Management will employ the correct and suitable manager.

I would pray that Arsenal tighten their defence and keep Athletico Madrid rampaging attackers at arms length and then wallop them. Let Arsenal kill the game at Emirates and make the second leg merely 'ceremonial and avoid the situation in which Athletico found itself by qualifying for the semi final by the skins of their teeth. Arsenal has been very poor at away matches this season although they did well at Millan and narrowly escaped the harmer at CSKA. It will be a big risk for Arsenal to win narrowly at home only to go and suffer what Barcelona suffered in the hands of Roma. Arsenal players must therefore,raise their games, starting from Thursday and later deal decisively with Man U thereafter. We shall be praying for them as we want the legendary Asene Wenger who did so much for Arsenal to go away a very happy man.
