With the Aggregate at 2-0 to us, This seems like a walk in the park. Then again we were 3-0 up on agg against Dynamo Zagreb two seasons ago and they gave us a game at the grove.

Who here reckons Mclaren will get booed out of the building :s_rofl

ME!!!!!

'one steve maclaren' indeed! :roll:

but they made it hard for us, or actually we made it hard for ourselves...I fully expect a better performance all round in the next leg

Should hopefully have Cesc, et al back for this one.

We have a near perfect record at home, and have never lost by two goals at the Grove... can't see Twente breaking that record.

Should have more players back, they need to come out and attack us we should be okay for this.

In this one, if Cesc is back, I don't want to see him start. Bring him off the bench in the 60th or so and get him back into the groove of things, but don't give him a full match to start with, imo. Ease him into it a little bit. Midfield of Deni and perhaps Nasri, once he's healthy.

Well after Saturday's poor performance I hope we come out and destroy Twente and take out the frustrations on Mclarens lads. Cesc may be back and if he is fit I hope he starts. Could play an hour and come off in preperation for Barcodes on Saturday. I wanna see this 11 start the match:

Almunia
Sagna
Djourou
Toure
Clichy
Eboue
Denilson
Cesc
Nasri
RVP
Ade

Think Gallas needs dropping but very unlikely. Kolo needs to play to work on his fitness and Djourou should never have been dropped on Saturday as he did nothing wrong in Twente first leg and West Brom. Subs bench will have Bendtner, Walcott, Song, Gallas, Fabianski, Ramsey and Wilshere.

i am going to this match and cannot wait, still not sold out I see as well so don't know how full the ground will be. Anyway Twente should feel the backlash and I think we will cruise through 3-0 on the night. :s_thumbsup

Arsenal.com is showing that Cesc WILL BE FIT for the match tomorrow. Very good news...not that we necessarily need him at this point for the Twente match, but it's good that he'll be fit for the Prem. to come.

It is ... and I have no doubt that AW will want the team to treat it as that and stay focussed ... even if we score 2 more goals tomorrow I would want us to not concede any goals at home ... because such lapses translate into our important games too ... if they score a goal first then we will be under pressure ... so I hope we score early and then just heap on the misery ....

and ohh yea a plea to our players :

PASS THE BALL TO THE PLAYER WHOSE JERSEY LOOKS LIKE YOUR OWN!!!! :s_mad

This is a banana skin potentially...

But I'm saying 10-1 Arsenal.
