Buffon
Zambrotta - Thuram - Cannavaro - Balzaretti
Camoranesi - Emerson - Vieira - Mutu
Trezeguet - Del Piero

My reason for playing Zamboy on the right and starting Balzaretti is that we need someone with pace on our right to cope with Reyes and Henry. If Ibrahimovic starts we could be in trouble.
Thats my formation aswell.

And I can't disagree on the Zambrotta thing, you're right, If Zambo is in good shape he'll probably give henry a nightmare;)

Because he's occupying a spot in the starting eleven and not being of help at all, instead he's ruining everything.
Saying that he wasnt helping a lot against Bremen in the 2 games is completely true but saying that he ruined everything is Nonsense man.He sucked in the 2 games but also Thram,Viera,Camo,Balza,Canna,Dp(in the 2nd game) & especially Capello sucked too.So don't tell me that Zlatan is the one who ruined everything.On the other hand in Serie a he was the man against Messina,Parma & he played a hell of a game against Inter so...............!

Hey, welcome to the forum

Juve were very disappointing against Bremen and I pray to God that the team come out with a positive approach at Highbury. Capello's insistence on defensive stability hurts us in attack but I'm hoping that we can get at least one away goal. Campbell and Cole will be back but even so the Arsenal backline is hardly rock solid. If Emerson and Vieira can get going early on and dominate the centre then it'll be a tough night for Fabregas and Gilberto but again, it's all about Juve's mind set. If we go to London looking for a draw I think we'll get burned just like we did in Germany.

Nedved will miss the first leg through suspension so Mutu is likely to start on the left. I would pick this team:

Buffon
Zambrotta - Thuram - Cannavaro - Balzaretti
Camoranesi - Emerson - Vieira - Mutu
Trezeguet - Del Piero

bulls eye mate.

Four or five games is nothing compared to the whole season. If you don't want to admit he's our worst player, he is the player that is playing where many others are better than him and that he's being a liability occupying space on the field and falling in offside traps all the time, then stop discussing with me. This is how I see him and you see him otherwise. Until you are willing to accept him as he is now, we can discuss....

It is all about the mentality, if the guys go on the field believing. Then Juve can do it any time any day

Mentality is what it matters.:eyebrows:

first of all I mentioned these 3 games coz they are the last 3 games that he played in Serie a!For me he played good a lot more than 4 or 5 games though I still think he sucked this season SO FAR.It is true that I see him with a totally different view than u coz I know that him starting when he is not fit or when Dp deserves to start is not really his fault.Anyway I see in this player a Huge talent & i still think that he will explode in this next stage & if u want to stop discussing this so be it!

hopefully bremen is behind them. juve need to start playing in the CL like they do domestically. we need to quit with the long ball bs and actually make some passes!

henry is r only worry, but he will be facing a very strong defence, unlike any other team arsenal have had to play in the CL this yr.

No man Henry is not their only worry,they play as a team very good & they have Reyes,Hleb,Pirez, & they r all players that could make the difference in attack!

First of all,Arsenal had a very easy group to pass: Ajax,Thun,Sparta,which is the easiest of all...then they got real madrid for their opponent, really destroyed with the problems at the club and certainly the club with very unstable defence....so I don't regard Arsenal as the hardest opponent we could get.
