I did actually. And from what I remember, it wasnt even a 4-3-2-1 for the 90 minute duration. Besides, wasnt there considerably less pressure on us at the time? I mean we'd qualified for the next stage already. What would've been impressive would've been using this formation for a better part of the first group phase, or putting it together in the Serie A. The fact is, the 4-4-2 is the comfort zone Capello will not stray from in a 2 leg knockout format, when in reality we should be versatile enough to tie in an alternate formation to our tactics without struggling to string passes together. For better or worse, I'm really pleased that we've got Arsenal because like I've said before, they're playing the football best suited to Europe. And beating them, would require us to alter our strategy if not totally alienate it. Which is what I'm really interested in seeing.
wazzuuuUP?! Arsenal fan in the house! I'm a bit surprised about the general worry of facing us in here. In fact - i'm taking a lot of pride out of it 
!
What i've seen this season Juve have been brilliant.. altho i haven't watched them much this year. I think u have the best manager in the world and the strongest team in the world if we go player-to-player. Defence is extremely hard to break down and attack is very lethal with Trez leading the line.
Luckily we have started to hit the form in recent fixtures. Only 2 points separates us from the spuds - when in Christmas that task looked increasingly frusfrating. Henry, cesc, hleb, eboue, toure have all been great and they will have to keep it up if we're to gonna make it to the semis.
And about Vieira. He will definitely get a warm welcome - after all he spent 9 succesful years with us. However, we must not forget that he left to Juve mainly because of the CL. And he will do everything to win it, even if it's against us.
We've been cursed with injuries this season. This current moment isn't an exception. However, van Persie and Sol are back and will be available in the 1st leg. Freddie misses Charlton game, but most probably will be fit against Pompey (before 1st leg). Cole is certain to miss 1st leg - but will be back in the 2nd if nothing new setbacks will occur. Reyes should be fit against Pompey too. It's 'a minor injury' according to Wenger.
I think it's gonna be a tough pair of games and the better team should go through! Ciao i'm out!

its very strange ,,,,, some of talking about arsenal like the best team on earth now
they are good but not good enough to beat juve even with the fact that juve is off form recently
its arsenal not brazil
its arsenal not Barca or chelsea or even milan
you are talking about a team Pld 29 games and lost in 10
i dont think juve will face any prob in beating them

I've been watching Juventus for a while now and there's nothing that's impressed me. Whether all Italian football is the same jazz, or whether it's just Juventus im not sure.
You have no creativity in midfield other than Nedved which IMO is your best player. You play a wide game, using the pitch well but that wont suit you well at Highbury considering we exploit teams who play wide by countering on the wings whilst they're occupied. Reyes and Hleb will dominated the wings at Higbury.
Our strongest aspect is our midfield. Henry is a striker who finishes moves, but if you were to see both games against Madrid you would realise how well our midfield played and dominated.
Ibrahimovic has hardly any pace so he will need to force his heading ability to perform, our defense is faster than you think. In fact, we are a counter-attacking team and your performance against Werder Bremen will make alot of Arsenal fans happy. In alot of ways, you have no piercing attackers or playing style. You play patiently waiting for mistakes. If we dont make mistakes, we will counter..it'll be a chase to your box and only one team will win that race.
Juventus will play, but i have no doubt that we will up a few gears for this game. It's win or die for us, our season and our future depends on us winning the Champions League. We must win. We will win. That has been our mentality since the beginning of the season. We are more hungry. We are more desperate.
