Even though Denilson is crap he had a good game against them last year at home and he is just that bit more mobile than Song. Even though he lacks a lot , I think he should start.

The idea of Kos in CDM is cool, but him a JD do have a good partnership and I don't think it should be broken.

Going to be so fucking tough, but I believe.
Yep it will be tough, but this is the Champions League and the cream of Europe.

Judging by some comments made, there are a few posters who seem to think it is a waste of timing Arsenal turning up as it is a foregon conclusion that Barcelona will win.

We will see.
Probably the lot who said we would't get a result at the Grove.

Arsenal are 3/1 not to lose tomorrow (ie. to win or draw). Any takers?

can't be dealing with that soft prat chamak who will probably turn up in a scarf and fail to beat a player one on one, time and time again. nick is gash but will at least put in more of a shift, he knows the world is watching also, maye its time for him to show us what he's capable of. :roll: scored here last time round also.

Good article on the Denilson debate.

Pay close attention to this bit.
I am a huge Abou Diaby fan and usually I would have him ahead of Denilson in most circumstances but I do not fancy Abou Diaby receiving the ball from our central defenders only to be snapped at by Pedro, Messi, Xavi and Iniesta.

so? i don't fancy diaby and i don't fancy denilson even more, simple, diaby is the lesser sack of shit out of the too. if you were to weigh them in terms of pure manure, diaby would weigh less, so in he goes. same line-up as sunderland but fab in a straight swap for that plank denilson. van in for bender if he makes it. my oh my god help us if we have to bring on a sub, our bench is depressing, no real inspiration whatsoever.

Hardly likely, the club are saying 3 weeks minimun.

I am no fan of either Denilson or Diaby, but I would go with Denilson tomorrow night. I don't think defensive responsibility sits well with Diaby, and he likely to get a bit carried away and get caught up the field so it's Denilson for me.

BTW, re: the 'Denilshit' thread, I probably would have gone with 'Dungilson', as it just makes a bit more sense.

utter gutter :banghead: saw pics of him on our site, training with the team today, and half got excited. oh well, least he'll be fit for our last 10 pl games, which is all we'll have left to play for by then.

Yeah, good spot, that is Aliadiere.

I have been told that RvP has travelled to Barca.

I would stick with the defence then play a slightly different formation to what has been suggested.

I would go with two midfielders infront of the defence, which would be jack and cesc, then probably go with arshavin on the left, rosicky on the right, and then play with two attacking midfielders being nasri and diaby.

I know we wouldnt have an out and out striker but Barcelona will just box us in if they see Bendtner or Chamakh upfront. Oh to have TH14 at his peak, we would be a serious threat. Cesc the quarterback with Henry the deep threat TOUCHDOWN

Aliadiere has been at the club for a few weeks now training, until he can find a new club.

Denilson for me.

With Diaby in the team there is no way we're going to carry enough of a threat on the counter, he just slows the game down far too much.

Denilson needs a quick offload to jack, jack to cesc and then try to play in arshavin and nasri a la the second goal at the grove.

Once the team sheets come out tomorrow, if Diaby starts I'll be sticking a sneaky tenner on barca to progress.
