Just watched MOTD> HOW THE **** DID HE MISS THAT? Seriously, wilshere puts the ball on a platter for him. RVP however, outstanding as usual. Two cracking finishes. How was Arshavin's performance as I only saw the highlights?
Theo best put his shooting boots on, on wednesday. Arshavin had a very decent game aswell, Outstrenghed Zubar lol. He could give Alves & Pique a torrid time.
Oh ok, So it looks like i have to take youre word for it, rather than Wengers, Guardiola's, Capello's and messi's saying how good he is.
Arshavin was very good I thought, my personal highlight was when he nutmegged Zubar. I have reservations about playing him against Barca thought because Alves will destroy Clichy without protection, and I don't think Shavva is fast enough to pin him back.
RE: Whether to play Arshavin against Barca, Zubar is a ****e fullback. I reckon Bendtner will be the best option IF Wenger will change tactics to suit his physicality vs Alves (Long Balls)
Bendtner would never ever track Alves's runs. I'm torn between wanting to do a defensive job on Alves or just pinning him back like we did with Cole in the last Chelsea game
Gibbs is a good call to counter Alves, but do you really see Wenger doing it? I think he's too much of a purist to even consider playing a defensive wide midfielder, even if it could cost you the game.
We won't put Gibbs in. It'll be Song, Denilson, Jack/Fab def midfield I reckon. Really looking forward to it no matter how it turns out!
He has played Eboue as a defensive winger in the past, but i can't see him playing Gibbs there this time.
Nani - Spring loaded feet to do mental flips. Theo - Wings on feet so he can run across water. Hmmm....
