[CL]Arsenal vs Juventus (20 Viewers)

[AzherIqbal]

Getting tickets to sit in the away end (Juve end/section) can only be done through Juventus FC, i think.

Living in london, I was thinking of going to the stadium and trying to and get a ticket from a Juve fan from Italy.

There is no way I'm sitting with the gooners. I'll have to keep my mouth shut the whole game, which is extremely difficult especially as Zlatan will try to do his tricks and fail miserably.

FORZA JUVE.....

FORZA BLACK N WHITE

They r hard non-the less. Hard enough to possibly eliminate us if we have an off-day

Well,at this stage(among the best eight teams) it is logical to play against the team which can beat us if we have an off day.

 

[giovanotti]

ive seen arsenal play quite a lot this season expecially in the prem and we have to rough them up, when teams get stuck right into them they cant handle it. like blackburn down to them not so long ago. we cant let them play their style, we have to slow down the tempo.

i reckon that have to be emo and vieira role.

Good point!!That is exactly our way of playing,to spoil the opponents style.

and how should we do that?? this has been our problem all the time..

 

[The Arser]

first welcome

where will be the match won? well many think in midfield, but i actually think defens and attack has bigger part. why? both teams have world class in attack(trez-henry) and both can score having only one opportunity, like henry showed away against real and well trez has scored many goals in CL this season as well. So whos defens will play better will win, juve is known by defens, but recently we have let in many goals, while arsenal didnt conseed any against real.

So defens, attackers and finishing opportunitys will decide the winner imo.

Cheers.

Very good point about defence. I feel almost lucky that we The Arse have gotten this far with the patched-up "redcurrant wall" that stands in front of Mad Jens. With Ashley and his back-up out, sol, Lauren all out for long periods of this season, Eboue, Kolo, Senderos, and most suprisingly Flammini, have run their little hearts out and they have not performed too shabbily.

Here's hoping that does not change.

so I don't regard Arsenal as the hardest opponent we could get.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that.

 

[Maresca]

Arsenal is the team I most wanted to avoid..

BUT, if a team wants to win the CL, then they should be able to beat any team.

 

[The Arser]

^^^Precisely!

I actually wanted Barca.

For an absolutely worthless post pondering the variables we should consider for this match, or in other words, what Capello will not do..

The simple way to beat Arsenal is to cut-off their rhythm in midfield and suffocate their movements on the pitch, something that requires hard work and holding lots of posession. A team such as Milan would be the perfect side to beat Arsenal, considering they do not let the opposition have much of the ball and hault their opponents in midfield with copius amounts of pressure and posession. We will need to emulate these tactics against Arsenal because if you run them over they will simply be choked. The fact you cannot let Arsenal control the tempo really applies to all English sides you'd face..

Buffon

Zambrotta - Thuram - Cannavaro - Balzaretti

Emerson - Vieira

Camoranesi - Del Piero (Nedved) - Mutu

Trezeguet


It's a real shame Nedved is not available for this match because I would place him right behind Trezeguet and make sure he comes back in midfield to disrupt any sort of influence Fabregas has on the match. Nedved, if on form, would cause Silva and Fabregas to come back deeper and thus hault them from going more forward. The deeper Emerson would pick up the darting Hleb and Vieira would roam around making sure everything is tidy in the center of the pitch. The last thing I want is to have Hleb or Ljungburg or Henry run at our defense with options because our straight four midfield was caught out. And with Nedved just running around like a headless chicken it would disrupt the Gunners enough in midfield to throw off their rhythm a bit.

Camoranesi and Mutu would expose the weaknesses of the Arsenal fullbacks and if we have enough of the ball we will undoubtedly beat their defense some point in time. You simply take the game from Arsenal and do not let them play...you force them to commit errors and don't let them get even a scent that you will give them any space. Make sure Henry gets roughed up and knock him around and dont let him have any space at all. This is all easier said than done, obviously, however the writing is on the wall what you need to do to beat Arsenal.

Will Capello follow any of these ideas? Nope. And we shall see how we fair with such generic tactics.

 

[Jem83]

Good post, Andy. I think you actually pinpointed the exact threats we need to focus on eliminating in Fabregras and Henry. Camoranesi and Mutu could influence the game at some point, as you say, but we must also be diverse in our passing game, we can't play it down the flanks all the time (Highbury's so fucking narrow). Good passing and movement and getting all our forward players into the box will create the goalscoring opportunities we need.

 

[WΏΏdy?]

IMO we are out

They play too damn fast football and they have good creative midfielders who will outclass our midfield.They have the best striker in the world football and TBH I don't think Vieira has the balls to play well as we all know his heart is in London.
So tell me, if we struugled to win Bremen how the hell will we win Arsenal?

coz shit happens

 

[Stephan]

i watched bremen game stats, and from first leg Trezeguet, Vieira and Balzaretti have a yellow card behind! Loosing Trezeguet because of booking would be very very bad. especially if we progress and play possibly inter (or villareal)

 

[giovanotti]

And Camoranesi has yellow card.
I hope that their players will have some yellow cards too.
