CL: Arsenal vs Porto | 26/09/06

1-0 to arsenal. rosicky to score.

 

[Nutsy]

FC Porto cannot be taken lightly, however, I am sure Arsenal can pull it through. this our home game, Arsène as usual will make it a 4-4-2 formation, with Henry & possible RvP but most likely Adebayor.. My predictions would be 1-0 or most likely 2-0. But Again, i'll stress that FC porto is tricky, so, they might conceive a goal - so, might be a 2-1. Cheers everyone ;D

2-0 to us because Porto will not play with 10 defenders. I also expect Hleb to come back to the starting 11 and Baptista to come on with 10-15 mins left like he always has since joining us.

FC Porto Squad list:

1 Helton GoalKeeper
24 Paulo Ribeiro GoalKeeper
99 Vítor Baía GoalKeeper
12 Bosingwa Right-back
13 Fucile Right-back
2 Ricardo Costa Central Defender
3 Pepe Central Defender

18 Paulo Assunção Central Midfielder
7 Quaresma Right Midfielder
11 Sektioui Right Midfielder
21 Alan Right Midfielder
8 Lucho González Attacking Midfielder
10 Anderson Attacking Midfielder
20 Jorginho Attacking Midfielder
31 Diogo Valente Left Midfielder
9 Lisandro Lopez Forward
17 Vieirinha Forward
19 Sokota Forward
23 Hélder Postiga Forward
28 Adriano Forward
29 Bruno Moraes Forward

The only good players really but this team must not be taken lightly as they have players who can change a game in an instance (Quaresma, Anderson)
Since Anderson is coming to the Emirates on Tuesday, I think Wenger should get Baptista, Gilberto and Denilson to have a little chat with him and who knows? He might then like us ahead of Barca and Chelsea after seeing our young squad.

there is absolutely no way we will be playing 4-5-1. we played 4-4-2 away to hamburg, so i'm sure at home we wont be switching to a more defensive formation.

curious to see this anderson dude to know what the fuss is all about. also have a sneaky feeling baptista will start.

 

[Gurgen]

Anderson is a superstar in the making. He's basically their entire attacking threat.

 

[phil15]

Plus he's way better than Kerlon, such a verstaile player he can play wide or in the centre beats players with ease, can cross, score etc

 

[KingReyes]

As the above have mentioned I'm looking forward to seeing this Anderson lad play. Must be special if he's compared to Ronnie.

Guys if you were wondering the game is on ITV4

 

[gooooooooooooooooner]

I think 4-5-1 suits us on away games and I think the formation for Tuesday will be 4-4-2

Same team who beat Shefield United but v Persie for Adebayor and Hleb for Rosicky and one more change I think.

Remember Saturday we got tricky away game against Charlton, who is strugling. So need to rest some players

looks good on youtube...

 

[Tony Montana]

Looking forward to this one.

 

[cubbz_th14]

Looking forward to this one.

games under lights have that extra electric atmosphere, zagreb was quite good for our first game under lights at emirates, i hope this one's better

So do I. On BBC yesterday the atmosphere seemed poor compared to Anfield so let's roar our team on Tuesday. I'm up for this one because night games are awesome.

 

[Nutsy]

As the above have mentioned I'm looking forward to seeing this Anderson lad play. Must be special if he's compared to Ronnie.

i heard he's that good, i havent seen the lad play though. Ronnie's good, there's no denying that, bjut i hope Porto's gnna include him in. it gets me wondering that Chavs wants him, what are they gnna spoil a young star now. sad sad sad..

 

[11vanpersie]

looking forward to seeing anderson after he has been hyped up so much...hope he lives up to it in the future not against us though but im sure we can handle him

 

[cesc18]

interesting to see how many changes are made from yesterday s game especially with our wide players and strikers
think we should win a close match maybe 1-0 or 2-1

 

[highbury_boy]
