Likely?

Buffon
Zambrotta Thuram Cannavaro Chiellini
Camoranesi Vieira Emerson Mutu
Trezeguet Zlatan

But hopefully we will play like this:

Buffon
Zebina Thuram Cannavaro Chiellini
Camoranesi Vieira Emerson Zambrotta
Trezeguet Zlatan

Zlatan ->
<- Mutu in the second half.

 

[flieeeekke]

Well, most probably:

Buffon

Zebina Thuram Cannavaro Zambrotta

Camoranesi Vieira Emerson Mutu

Trezeguet Ibrahimovic

certainly, not probably


then again, i wouldnt rule out zambrotta at rb and chiellini on the left. im wouldnt bet oz zebina starting.

And to respond to the part about "struggle".

Of course we do.

We've experienced Europan Cup final trauma more than any other club in the world, and some of our glorious fans have died - DIED - supporting our club. Back in 85, when those Scouser-hooligans decided to pick a fight.

Feel free to tell me a story about your emotional nights in Europe and watch me yawn.

It doesn't have to be a European night to create emotions. We've had a lot of emotions, for example winning the league in the last match of the season. Needed to score 2 goals in the last 45mins and we did it. I would much rather have a record of losing finals than a record for not reaching the semis - I guess you don't know how painful it is to always get knocked out in that stage of the competition.

Believe me, I do.

And please no more about this, we've already solved these issues.

What a night.

Very good game.
I have it on DVD.

 

[Elvin]

Well I became a Juventino in 2000, certainly not the best season of the club (trophyless), so you can't call me a glory hunter

Forza Juve !!!

 

[Chxta]

We suddenly have a rash of Arsenal fans around these parts...

Good man

Was very nice of the Liverpool fans to applaud us after, even though they just lost the title in the last minute.

Is it a problem?

We've got a load of Juve fans on our forum, but the banter is good, and it's interesting to discuss.

 

[Jem83]

Yeah, that requires a huge level of empathy..
Can't stand that club, though, sorry..

Don't say sorry.. We can't stand most of the Scouse "5 Times" Cunts either

I was just wondering how was 2005 Madrid team better than 2006? 2003 definitely was, it was a pity u lost the final. But 2005 was worse than 2006, considering it's basicly the same as we played except they had Baptista, Robinho, Ramos and Cassano.

yes BUT, zidane, ronaldo, raul, carlos etc were all a year younger, and at their ages that means alot, and zidane is such an important player fr them and a year ago he was still amazing but now he has kind of lost it a little, he was running rings around blasi in the game against us, but against arsenal he looked nothing like the zidane we all know, and they played very well against us but seemed very poor aginst arsenal, but fair play, you beat them, convincingly as well, and you can only beat whats given to you, so well done for that

I think we'll play liek this tomorrow:

Mad Jens

Eboue-Toure-Senderos-Flamini

Hleb-Gilberto-Cesc-Reyes

RVP-Henry


I think Senderos is the weakest link, he keps committing those silly mistakes. Flamini i think u think is the weakest link but he has played very well as a left back, kept beckham and gerrard rather quiet. he has a terrific work ethic and endless stamina

Actually, if Camo is in his day, there is no Flamini

Hello there,
you might have guessed already...another Arsenal fan around here, sorry !!

I've been browsing this forum for a week now and I stumbled upon quite a few decent posts! Nice to see some objective views on the game from the opponents so I'll just throw my opinion about the game:

I expect Arsenal to play 4-4-1-1 with Van Persie or Reyes behind Henry helping out the midfield.
the rest of the team picks itself really. It is just SO important that we have Reyes 100% fit. He can make a difference tomorrow.

Anyway I was less than impressed with Juve's performance vs. Roma attack-wise...but on the other side...when defending your team is realllyyyyyy tough.
Don't know why would anyone start Zebina over Chielini to be honest ??
If Zebina starts his rash challenges would make him my personal favourite for the sending off However Juve are still the favourites and if we can keep a clean sheet at Highbury it would be great!

One thing I'm pretty sure of..it will be a great game! So I'll be looking forward to it
Thx for reading and I wish you all the best.

Yeah, camoranesi is one of the most underrated players imo. Juve attacks often goes merely through him.. at least what i have seen.

You're right about that.

 

[northbank]

I don't think that Ljungberg is a big loss to be honest. He provides workrate, but this is a different game to Madrid. What he has been offering this season isn't needed against the boys from Turin.
