I believe arsenal can win at etihad stadium,with that sharp team and good defense,but wenger should stick to the team that won at france.

i believe the team that started against Southampton is our best bet, with Pod Gerv andy Ox up front i see a better chance of us scoring goals and they’ve shown that they’re willing to put in a shift defensively, Giroud would make a good substitute at about the 65th minute to switch it up a little.

Even if things are not working out with my Arsenal, i still and will always believe in my team.Sofar,with the way things are going? It is certain we would win trophies this season,but i think we need the likes of M’villa in that holding mid-field to complement Arteta.Paix à les E’quipe
