W.B.A. vs Arsenal | EPL | 03/03/09 | 19:45 | ATVO

We will win I tell you. Why? Because I´ll not be watching. Good times.

 

[patrick42uk]

RVP is probably fatigued, given he has played up top by himself these last two games. He can always come off the bench. We have a goalscoring threat on the pitch with Arshavin.

 

[1970*Gooner]

Whats the Team.?

 

[progman07]

Almunia

Sagna Djourou Touré Clichy

Eboue Denilson Song Nasri

Arshavin

Bendtner


...

Massive responsibility for Bendtner. Not only because he's without Robin or Carlos but because bar Nasri theres not much chance of goals in that midfield.

Wonder did Robin ask to be rested again.

You mean bar Arshavin. He shot more in his two games in our shirt than Nasri in his last 10.

 

[McIntyre]

My Lord, that is an awful starting line-up!

I really hope it comes off but I'm now very nervous.

 

[Clrnc]

Song and Denilson.

Hope for the best then

Well, the outcome was still the same. I think he counted Arshavin as a secondary striker in this game though. He won't play as a midfielder.

Well I wasn't really including Arshavin as part of the midfield. I want to see him be the new Bergkamp tonight.

 

[Unforgiven]

looking at the lineup on SSN Arshavin is play as a supporting striker. It could be Nasri playing the role but I cannot see Arshavin playing on the left since he has been on the right.

Sagna------Toure------Djourou------Clichy

Eboue--------Denilson-------Song------Nasri

-------------Arshavin------------------------
--------------------Bendtner--------------

that is the formation for tonight from what I can see.

 

[A_Gooner_Matata]

Excited to see Arshavin in this role.

 

[AFCFan4Ever]

Arshavin is much more dangerous in the hole behind Bendtner and it'll help him with conserving energy and staying fit...not as much tracking back.

 

[raidersoftheark]

Water-logged pitch with no midfield, eh?

Hurm...

Cool to see Arshavin in his preferred role, though. My bet is on him having a game and a half.

1-0 (Robin)

Not sure about that, last year in the CL Hleb always ran more than Diaby and Eboue, so I don't think an AM runs less than a winger.

Unfortunately the stream situation seems terrible today

 

[Unforgiven]

I see Arshavin getting the ball a lot now, unlike the games he has had before. I think we will see some of his finishing, and I know he will take his chances.

I think a 2-0 win.

 

[Nela]

RvP has played so many games lately, it's not that strange that he's being rested.

Didn't RvP himself ask Wenger to rest him against West Ham in the fall because he didn't want to start so many games in such a short period?

myp2p.eu doesn't help?

We're not even on the radio tonight, 5Live is covering Chelsea and Sports Extra is doing Liverpool.. balls.

This a good point. Let the midfield 4 do all the donkey work, so Arshavin can focus his energies and being productive offensively.

lol, apparantly if we draw today thats 5 0-0s in a row, a premiership record.

Well they only have three streams available, none are in English or particularly reliable from past experience
