Chelsea, PSV and Pompey

What a game it was against Chelskea. I am sure there have been enough reviews about that game so i will go on to other important matters like the UCL draw.

Porto v Chelsea
Celtic v Milan
PSV Eindhoven v Arsenal
Lille v Manchester United
Roma v Lyon
Barcelona v Liverpool
Real Madrid v Bayern Munich
Internazionale v Valencia

When you consider Liverpool, we definitely have an easier game against PSV but underestimating the Dutch Champions would be suicidal. Double D reiterates that. The gaffer thinks that we have an advantage playing the second game at home. As usual Koeman shoots his mouth off.I hope we thrash PSV home and away.

Alright then, Pompy today for us. Lots of old timers will be in town. I hope that we give Sol, Kanu and Adams a rousing reception. They are all Arsenal legends and any other welcome for them will just not do.

Coming to the team news, we are still without Rosicky and Gallas. Portsmouth are now without any striker. Kanu is half fit so we can expect a lot of defending from them.

There has been a lot of discussion on the formation that we employed at the JJB in mid week. The 4-5-1 against teams like Wigan is being questioned and rightly so i feel. This formation is justified against teams like Chelsea but against weaker teams we just have to be more positive. Arseblogger discusses the same on the arsecast this week. I expect Wenger to take a more offensive route today.

In other news, Bendtner is happy that WEnger is keen to take him back soon. This lad gives us an option i feel. I think that he is still a long way away from regular first team action but i him and Lupoli are a future strike pair for us. We are also looking at some fella from Dortmund to replace Jens who apparently has been offered 2 years at Sevilla.

Henry has won the PFA award for November again. Looks like he will have to make do with such awards especially when he just cane seem to do enough to win the European or World player of the year.
