Emanuel Adebayor will miss tonight’s Champions League match against Fenerbahce after picking up that ankle injury during our humiliation at Stoke City last Saturday.

Personally I do agree with the ‘this is a blessing in disguise’ comments I think we have more to offer upfront and it’s time for a change now - get Vela and Bendtner in the box instead…

I like this comment I saw on the BBC.co.uk - I think it’s spot on - even if you are a United fan (Yes people, I’m publishing comments from a Manchester United fan);

some of the tackles made by stoke the other day were bad, the one on adebayor was terrible and having had an injury like that, it hurts. I didnt see a problem with the tackle on walcott, it was clumsy and late, but not malicious and deserved a yellow.

i would prefer to watch arsenal over stoke any day, but i have to defend stoke here, we(arsenal and united) have to accept that not all teams have the ability to out play us in our own style, they have to get results through either dogged defending, or through an abundance of committment and hard tackling. Both are legitimate ways to win a football match and as legitimate as playing free-flowing attacking football. i dont like watching it, but you have to be able to deal with it to win the league. All this moaning by fergie and wenger winds me up and is more a result of frustration with their own teams performances.

we should have beaten everton, hard tackles or not, and the same of arsenal at stoke. making all this noise is just drawing more attention to the club when they should be focused on sorting out their obvious flaws.

if they kick you, kick them harder. simple as that, its a mans game

Arsene Wenger says that tonights Chapions League match at the Emirates is the start of his toughest 12 days as Arsenal manager.

Wenger said: “It will be the highest challenge of my career at Arsenal. It’s very exciting, the moment of thruth. We have worked the whole season for this.

“I believe that we are in the championship raceand we have two Champions League games in this period.

“The impact of the first game of the sequence is vital. If we produce a good performance, and I am convinced that we will, we can beat Liverpool, we can beat Milan, we can beat everybody in the world.”

Kolo Toure added to the confidence buzzin through the Arsenal camp since the 10 man comeback at the Reebok Stadium on Saturday, he said: “Going forwards Liverpool are really good but we have the quality to stop them. Torres is a great striker and he is doing really well in England.

“But for us, it is not Torres who is the most important, it is the team. If you can stop Steven Gerrard, then you can stop the Liverpool team. Torres is a really good player, but if he does not have a really good Steven Gerrard then the game will be much easier for us.

“They have a good understanding, the way each other plays, the way they pass the ball, the way they move and this is what we will be looking to stop.

“We all believe. We trust each other and know that together we are really strong. We came back with only 10 mean at Bolton and that is really important for mthe rest of the season.”
