I'm not sure what to expect tonight. If we want somebody to beat this Arsenal, I suppose its good we have an underrated Spanish side taking them on at Highbury, as opposed to a slow and lackluster team such as Juventus. Villareal is much more reliable than Real Madrid, and if Riquelme can get enough of the ball he will undoubtedly cause Dial quite a few problems. I just have some doubt in my mind that the Spaniards have what it takes, as they have not faced a side as good as Arsenal in Europe yet and the latter's quick tempo and counterattacks could be too much for them. Dial is not Inter, not Rangers or Manure, so if Riquelme is not lively tonight expect Villareal to falter. Moreover, they are without Gonzalo Rodriguez, one of the better stoppers in Europe at the moment, so the water doesn't look too friendly for the yellow submarine tonight.

The trick is if Villarreal will let Arsenal enjoy their counter attacks like Juve and Madrid did, they will lose.
