Arsenal vs. Villarreal - CL quarterfinal discussion thread

I'm going to guess that Villarreal play:


--------------------D. Lopez


J. Venta----Gonzalo----Godin----Capdevila


Cani------M. Senna----Eguren-----Ibagaza


--------------Rossi-----Llorente

On their day that team can beat anyone or lose 3-0 to anyone. Hope they turn up

What's going on with Angel, he was benched on the weekend also...just dropped and out of favour, or injured?

I don't know to be honest. I always though Angel was a pretty good player but somehow Pellegrini always goes back to Javi Venta. He's the Raul of Villarreal.

Just posted the squad in the Arsenal thread. already been beaten to it.

Wouldn't suprise me to see Bendtner start in one of the wide positions much like he did in the last round. Would also second a guess that Eboue will start over Theo.

Way too many complacent gooners around for this game. Arsenal have never been good with pressure.

Steve Finnan would be the most apt comparison. He's signed Angel & Kromkamp in an attempt to replace him, but he still kept them out of the team.

Manuel

Sagna-Kolo-Gallas - Clichy

Theo - Fab - Denilson- Song

Nasri

Ade


Subs; Fabianski, Eboue, Silvestre, Song, Eduardo, Vela.

I just meant however much people think he needs to be replaced, he always ends up in the XI.

Why bother fracturing your fibula in the first place? Especially when you're about to play in the Champions League Quarter Final.
