The Croatian style, going back to Yugoslav days, often demonstrates the art of using one pass and one run to grab a goal.
But since we don’t know which Arsenal will turn up, who can predict what will happen tonight?
Giroud might bang in two headers. Or get sent off again. There’s no way of knowing.
And I’m not going to talk about how much Arsenal will miss Walcott and Coquelin.
A match like this is always about the players who are out there on the pitch, and not about those who are absent.
Clearly, any strong Arsenal side of the last 17 years should beat Dinamo Zagreb at the Emirates.
But these two teams, after four games, have proved to be the dunces of the group.
Over there, on Matchday 1, Ospina was selected but tonight it’s Cech and that makes this game radically different.
Petr Cech can make saves, especially one-on-one saves.
However, Arsenal are a sloppy outfit who are capable of coughing up a silly goal at any time.
In terms of the starting X1, he might go with Gabriel to add physicality.
Could Chambers shield the centrebacks in Coquelin’s position. Would that work? If it was a viable option, why hasn’t it been tried?
Flamini is more likely.
My gut feeling is that Ramsey will start. And that a lot will depend on Alexis Sanchez having a good night.
Mainly, I’m just here to make observations and give opinions.
Right now, Arsenal have won one of their 4 games and lost 3.
