Arsenal team news for Bayern, Lincoln City

The Chile forward was dropped for Saturday’s 3-1 defeat at Liverpool with Wenger insisting it was a tactical decision and the player had not been involved in a training ground argument leading into the game. But the team is easier to change something and you can feel in every training session that we are eager to change something about the situation.

In many ways, Sanchez is the symbol of the angst and frustration at Arsenal.

Rafinha, who started in Bayern’s 3-0 victory over Schalke in their German Cup quarterfinal last week, is expected to step into Lahm’s position in defense while Manuel Neuer is to wear the captain’s armband.

Against middle-of-the-road Premier League and European teams Arsenal can still dazzle when they reach top gear, but their attacking style is an open invitation for the likes of Bayern and Barca to run riot.

Asked if the Gunners were in chaos, Ancelotti replied: “I don’t think so because, if the team are in a good moment, it could be a problem this game”.

We’re very frustrated with how the game went. “I really can’t understand the thinking behind that, why Arsene Wenger wouldn’t want to play him”.

We can rule out Bayern Munich as a potential destination for Seamus Coleman in the near future.

Benfica travels to Germany with a 1-0 lead on aggregate.

However, the most impressive recent result came on Saturday.

“We are not going on a company outing, this is the Champions League”.

It’s hard to explain why Bayern have stopped plodding under Carlo Ancelotti and have suddenly taken off. We scored the first goal nicely. However, it is a bit short for my liking.

The Frenchman dodged questions on whether Sanchez was happy in north London, although warned the 28-year-old that Arsenal hold the whip hand should he have designs on leaving the club in the summer.

Bayern lost at both Atletico and Rostov in the group stages, whilst they were beaten by Dortmund in their only trip to a top-four Bundesliga side to date.

If Arsenal are to have any chance whatsoever of turning this around, they need a lightning-fast start.

Although many Arsenal fans calling for Wenger to quit at the end of what looks set to be another unfulfilling campaign, Ancelotti warned the doubters to be careful what they wish for. Bayern won’t sit back, as that’s not in their nature. “I don’t know what the players are talking about in the dressing room, but I hope they spoke about the next game and the next performance”.
