    Again, a dissaopinted spectator in the east lower.
    We simply need to start taking our chances. Fair enough henry was 5 yards onside and the second dissalowed was miles on, but we simply wasted too much. In the second half we were too good for them, they coulnt cope with alex hleb on the right and eboue storming down the line. We could and possibly should have had 4 or 5. I'm dissapointed but I still believe that we can get a result on tuesday and go through to the final. Who we meet is another matter, Milan are a great tean, capable of scoring at any time, whereas as Barca are just immense all over the pitch....Should be a tight one.

    All I can say is AW needs to sit down with the lads and tell them to stop tring to pass the ball into the net and just hit the f***ing thing. Rob V.Persie seems to be the one person who comes in gets the ball and has a crack at goal. Who knows what will happen in the cramped mess that is El Madrigal but i'll be there, hoping that we step up a gear and send out a warning to the teams playing wednesday night....UP THE ARSENAL

    Squirrel was poor. I'd give it 3. Could have bitten their ankles.

    Lol thanks for your comments, indeed he could have done better...and Rob...your right, if I payed to watch the match I may have been extra PISSED off, but if Henrys goal had stood and it was 2-0, we may be just saying job well done...but I think we have done the most important thing by not conceding....lets just see what happens, Sp*rs to play next, any predictions on that match?

    2-0 to the Arsenal. One just before half time and one near the end of the match...sorted. Wenger might wanna rest some players though, just hope hleb isn't cos he is awesome.

    Ye...Wenger already said he will "rotate" players, Campbell is out still, along with Cole. I think Djourou might get a run out, love it if Walcott did too! Diaby probably aswel then, but you never really know what Wenger means when he says "rotation"...last time he said that, he played Alex Song in midfield, that is just a bit too much rotation if you ask me! I think Adebayor or Van Persie will also play, and expect us to revert to 4-4-2. Henry the scorer then??
  • Rohan · 3 years ago
    Henry and Manu, who will start, the scorers. This will probably be the team: Lehmann


    Eboue(or Djourou)

    Senderos Toure Flamini



    Hleb Diaby Gilberto Reyes



    Adebayor Henry



    Cesc has just come back from injury so we'll rest him and Reyes is fresh after missing the game.

    If Henry starts, how much effort do you think he'll he put in? The impression I'm getting from the odd quote in the papers is that the main concern of most of the players is not to get too exhausted or injured.


    Can't say I blame them. Though obviously they should be aware of the importance of the game for next season's CL - those who are staying, that is - the fact is, reaching this year's final is what they've all set their hearts on. After all, will we ever have the opportunity again? For the next five years we could get terrible draws - like Chelsea, or Bayern, or Barca or Milan in the quarters. Given the inevitable slight lack of focus, I hope Wenger rotates really radically, resting Henry, Cesc, Hleb and Toure, for starters - all of whom look very tired - and using those with a strong interest in proving themselves and securing fourth spot. Don't forget Spurs are going to be missing crucial players as well: Mido? Carrick? Jenas? Definitely King. Villarreal - naturally - are resting everyone crucial: Riquelme, Sorin, Senna, the full back Arru-what'sit and probably more.

    Well I dont know, it isnt like we havent had hard teams to play already, Juve and Real Madrid are two of the superpowers in Europe, but ye...I understand what you mean, I think the importance of this game should be highlighted, because even if we get to the final, it isnt guarenteed we will be in the competition next year...which is vital for our financial situation...and to attract world class players in with the new stadium just being built....and of course to KEEP HENRY...it will be a massive advantage if we won the Champions League, or were secure to be in it next year...it is make it or break it time, this next week would decide whether the season would be a good one, or a TERRIBLE one...if we lose or draw today, then we are pretty much not going to be 4th....then if we got to the final and lost, the season would be completely empty...well apart from the progression of the young players etc...but you know what I mean. Gonna go get ready for the Arsenal game now! Will publish the team news as soon as I get it.
