Pre-Match Discussion : UCL : Arsenal v UNITED
Wednesday, April 6 2009
230am LIVE on ESPN!!!
It's the second leg of the UCL semi-final.. we're away to the Emirates in London.. The good news is we didn't any goals.. but the bad news is we only managed to get a goal.. The Gunners are quite lucky to walk away with just one goal.. we should got more goals.. but that's all in the past.. We're now in the 2nd leg so, we need to stay focus & protect that slender lead .. of course we need to find that valuable away goals & keep a clean sheet as well..
Both teams managed to get a win for their respective matches.. UNITED went to the RIverside and sealed 3 points after beating them 2-0.. thanks to the likes of Ryan Giggs & JS Park.. THis match was played with one eye on the midweek all-english european encounter.. Macheda was given his 1st Premiership start alongside Berba.. While Roo was deployed on the left yet again.. Tevez on the other hand started on the bench.. Ronaldo did make the UNITED bench but didn't play any part for the Red Devils on Saturday.. nice good rest for UNITED's no 7.. Fletcher & Carrick are both rested for this match..
Arsenal too fielded their youngsters.. all their big guns are rested against Pompey.. Even with that squad.. they won the game 3-0 away from home courtesy of two Bendtner goals & Vela...
Rio suffered rib injury last THursday but is expected to be back in time for this clash.. but i doubt Rio will make it.. Brown is still nowhere to be seen... Arsenal also had their fair share of injury worries with Silvestre the latest to be ruled out.. THey're already without Gallas, Clichy, Van PErsie & Eduardo..
All good mood from both camps & of course they will be fired up for another great encounter between these two.. we all knew, it's not going to be easy at the Emirates, but i believe UNITED has what it takes to win it.. I just pray that Roo will survived another day without any caution as he might be risking his chance of making the final.. SO, let's all pray that the calm ROO will remained.. both Cesc & Walcott are still a big threat for us so we need to neutralize their effectiveness this Wednesday..
My Choice..
VDS
Rafael/Sheasy Evans Vida Evra
Fletcher Carrick Ando Ron
Tevez/Berba
Roo
Roo might once again be used on the left flank but i just wish he could play in the middle this midweek..
