We didn't really have a sick team. Or maybe we did, but we had a whole bunch of injuries and had our worst season in the EPL that year(Wenger era).
If you remember, we had Campbell, Lauren, Ashley Cole and Clichy all out for that game. So we were forced to play a makeshift backline, Flamini had to be played as a leftback because both fullbacks were out with long term injuries. Senderos was a reserve centerback at the time, but had to be played because both Campbell and Cygan were out injured. Eboue was at his first season in Arsenal coming from Beveren in Belgium, he wasn't supposed to play but he played because Lauren was out with a long term injury. We had that makeshift backline with virtual unknowns(few people knew who Flamini, Senderos and Eboue were at the time) playing against a frontline of Zlatan and Trezeguet, with Nedved and Camoranesi behind them. The odds were firmly stacked against us, Capello or not, nobody not even the most optimistic Arsenal fans expected anything other than a comfortable win for that Juventus team.
Moral of the story: Don't be too confident, Juve doesn't have as good a team as that year, so you never know

I think you're underratint the team Arsenal had back then, it's infinitely better than your current lineup.

I fvcking hate those lame-os for being our black cat back in the 90s and then fading into oblivion, where they belong.
