[CL] Arsenal v PSV Eindhoven

[RedRabbit]

PSV leads with 1-0 on aggregate.

Wenger has a number of problems to contend with, as Philippe Senderos has joined long-term absentees Justin Hoyte, Mathieu Flamini, Emmanuel Eboue, Tomas Rosicky and Robin van Persie in the treatment room.

As for PSV they are without defencemen Manuel Da Costa and Jan Kromkamp, but this match will see the return of Jefferson Farfan who will partner Arouna Kone in attack.

This one will be an Arsenal win and hopefully no away goal by PSV.
2-0 my prediction :

discuss match below

PSV on the up-hand with a 1-0 win at home last week leaves the trailing for Arsenal to do in tonights clash.

Arsenal prove Henry fit to play and welcomes back Adebayor and Toure from previous suspensions.

I tough one for us tonight, we've beaten them before and hope for the same outcome because we're worthy of playing in this cup.

i hope arsenal can bring it back and win, just think 4 epl teams in europe still, that would be great and if celtic can produce a mirical and have 5 british teams still in europe will just show how good we are

Lol!

[westboy]

disaster, just shows how important the away goals are.

I feel sorry for Arse, they have lost 3 cups in 2/3 weeks i think!!

Unlucky Arse.

A total kick in the balls as far as it goes, its times like this when I wish the away goal rule was axed, but then again it helped us alot last year, Im happy so long as Man U get knocked out in the next leg.

Kick in the balls is the correct expression there. We played so well and as we know it , football can change in seconds, we were always looking for that second goal and thought we were closing in on it towards the end...

I don't understand why Henry was played, hes not 100% fit and its more pressure on the 'just recovered' injury, towards the end he was holding the side of his stomach near the back. Should he have been risked? I can't entirely agree on that one.

what bollox, what was wenger thinking when he put henry on, having baptista on we still was attacking looking for goals and as soon as henry came on it all stopped. Now henry could be out for a while

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said: "Thierry has torn his groin and a stomach muscle

As for hleb, well he has to be wengers lover because theres no other reason he should have been out there. Wengers fault were out!!
