I wonder if Elneny will get a start against his old side.
Technically, shouldn't we be happy that TOF is likely to use a rotated side in the Be All and End All? Especially as this damn competition usually wrecks our autumn and spring results in the league (more than our usual self-harming ways). Shouldn't the league be the priority anyway? I just wish that TOF would employ some tactics as well, particularly defensive ones, so we could actually have a chance of progressing further than R16 for the first time in seven years.

Relax, its Basel at home.
Its not like they have a good European pedigree in recent years beating Man Utd or Chelsea and Bayern Munich is it ?
Its not like we have a history of underestimating supposedly inferior opponents is it ?
We are The Arsenal, we let the opposition worry about us remember
When you put it like that...
I suppose it seems that 'on paper' we
should beat any side from Switzerland. Of course, when you take into account our typical lack of tactics and bottle, it becomes yet another potential banana-skin.
It's nice that some TRY to be positive, but the reality of the last decade has hammered most of us down.
