Stan Collymore, a former Liverpool striker, has offered advice to Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta on the tactical approach to adopt when his side take on Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg in Paris on Wednesday.
Arteta’s side were narrowly beaten 1-0 in the first leg a few days ago at the Emirates Stadium.
However, in his Caught Offside column, Collymore suggested that Arteta should revert to the game-plan built on their “early-season defensive nous and combine it with counter-attack” when they face PSG.
Collymore said: “Arsenal have every chance of overturning the aggregate score against PSG, but it will be very tough.
“The Parc des Princes is a tricky stadium to go to, and their fans will make it a tough atmosphere to play in.
“The important thing is that Mikel Arteta gets the game plan right, and for me, they need to recover that early-season defensive nous combined with being able to hit on the counter-attack.”
The winner between Arsenal and PSG will face either Barcelona or Inter Milan in the Champions League final in Munich later this month.
