Valencia are strong defensively but this is a good time to play them.
Coach Hector Cuper is leaving and it’s a Lazio situation. Half the team dont wanna play for a coach who is leaving. So Cuper’s having long, long talks with Mendieta and Carboni, the two senior pros.
John Carew is Carsten Janker with less experience, so he won’t bother Arsenal.
I look forward to seeing Pablo Aimar but I think this game has come a year too soon for him.
Champions League is tough, even for Argentinian wonderboys.
As I said in a previous piece, Kily Gonzalez is the danger man. Fast, spectacular, audacious and has a killer left foot, a Latin Giggs with better distribution.
Dixon will need Parlour’s help because this guy is tricky and quick.
Keown was fantastic on Saturday and that says a lot for Wenger’s rehab programmes and medical treatment and psychology.
Keown wants to show Eriksson that he deserves Rio Ferdinand’s shirt and with Greece and Germany coming up, he might be a better bet for England.
Who will score?
Thierry probably.
Maybe Patrick.
Big game for Tony Adams, with Spurs on Sunday as well. This could be the last time he ever plays three game sin eight days.
Bayern were MUCH better against Man Utd than against Arsenal. I wonder why…..
