CL: Arsenal vs PSV Eindhoven | 14/09/04

[afrodizzy]

It looks like Pires will play on the right as Freddy is injured, Reyes will start on the left with Bergkamp & Henry upfront. Viera & Gilberto are set to start as well with our current regular back four.

Pires doesn't play well on the right. Santini used to try him there and he's a little unused to it. Doesn't seem to have the edge like he is on LM. I think it would make more sense to play JP on the right instead of Pires.

Pires can be used as a sub sometime in the 2nd half to replace Bergy. Reyes to move into Bergy's position and Pires to take over the LM.

 

[Guns and Arses]

I think Reyes will start on LW.
Lineup:

Lehmann
Lauren Toure Cygan Cole
Ljungberg(or Pennant if FL's injured) Vieira Gilberto Reyes
Bergkamp Henry

My prediction: 2-1
Reyes will score first, PSV to get the equaliser and then Pires comes out and makes it 2-1.

It may be 3-1, but I think we will concede a goal. I expect a win.

 

[Soler]

Arsenal 2-0 PSV.

 

[Spike]

I agree with you there Jens.

Although I hope it could be more.

 

[va_va_voom]

20.59 seconds to be exact!!!

20.07 secs according to BBC Sport's match preview.

I'm going for 3-1 Arsenal.

 

[quattro]

clean sheet. home win.

come on you gunners!

 

[lewdikris]

As long as Reyes starts the rest is relatively unimportant - Bergy, Pires, Freddie, one of them drops out, but it's still brilliance all over. But Reyes is giving us our momentum at the moment, so must play.

 

[Jinn]

You play your best player in his best position, hence Reyes on the left instead of Bobby. He'll drive the tempo for us - and Bergkamp will have something to prove in his last shot at CL glory.

3-1 Arsenal.

 

[pome]

reyes on the left with either bob or jp on the right, hope we can get an early lead like we did before

 

[Adam]

Reyes to play at LM unless Bergkamp is tired. Bobby will prove himself as he does - eventually. Last season it worked.

Edu/Fabregas might replace Gilberto. Pennant might replace Ljungberg.

I reckon 3-0 i can't see PSV scoring without Kezman.

Uhm... wait a second westo... Since Kezman is playing overseas I make the goals now. 4 games, 4 big ones. Look forwards tonight to the long tall man with the long tall name:

What are Edu's chances of playing. He must be ready by now.

 

[Arjan]

sorry to inform you, but you made a mistake in your username.....
Vennegoor of hesselinK, not with a G......

ooh and scoring against RBC is something different then scoring against Arsenal.....

 

[Soler]

Yeah, Arjan has a point there. We'd put eight passed Roosendahl.

 

[efurze]

Wenger said Freddie's injury was very minor. I would expect him to start. If not then I'd hope for Pires at LM and Reyes at RM as Reyes doesn't seem any less effective on the right.

 

[bobbypires]

Reyes will start. It'd have had no sense that he didn't start at Craven Cottage.

My prediction: 3-1
Henry, Reyes & Pires

The name with the "k" at the end was allready taken by another forum-user.
It's only RKC??? You must be a dutch.
The (former) PSV-players Kezman, Romario, Gullit, Ronaldo, Zenden, Cocu, Robben, Stam, van Nistelrooy etc...etc... all scored against RKC in the past, but they also score in Europe great goals! And so will I, Jantje Vennegoor of Hesselink tonight in the 90. minute (0-1)
