Arsenal supporters gathered in the Transfer Tavern on Tuesday night full of optimism as their team prepared to take on Bayern Munich in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 contest, hoping that the Gunners could reverse a 5-1 deficit from the first game.

The Gunners were once again thrashed 5-1 by their German counterparts and it saw the club’s suffering supporters enjoy an extremely boozy night in the Tavern in an attempt to drown their sorrows.

Arsenal’s only realistic hope of silverware this season is in the FA Cup and they face non-league Lincoln City in the quarter-final at the Emirates Stadium this weekend, looking to avoid being on the wrong end of a shock and book a trip to Wembley Stadium.

The Arsenal fans are growing increasingly frustrated with boss Arsene Wenger and a successful FA Cup campaign might not be enough to see him stay in a job beyond this season.

Lee Clarke looks at two players who should definitely be dropped this weekend.

Danny Welbeck

It remains to be seen what Olivier Giroud must do in order to start a game for Arsenal this season, with the Frenchman quite clearly down the pecking order at the North London-based club.

This weekend should see Giroud return to the starting line-up and he could have a real impact against minnows Lincoln City.

One Arsenal fan is sat with the daily newspaper discussing the latest news stories with his pal and he believes that the French talisman should be one of the first names on the team sheet.

David Ospina

It’s been a bizarre concept that the Colombian stopper has taken the gloves for the Champions League games this season, with Petr Cech quite clearly the better of the two goalkeepers!

Cech looks set to return to the fold today and his experience at the back could be crucial for the Gunners this afternoon.

One Arsenal fan is sat with a pint of real ale this morning and he thinks that Cech or Emiliano Martinez should be in goal this afternoon.
