But Bendtner has been really effective in his 2 games against them, neither of them will play (or at least start)though probably. I think we have to play theo because of what happened last time, RvP will play because he is our best striker and if Nasri is fit he will play because he has been our best player this season. Arshavin will probably want to play because he supports them, but we can't put him on the right because Alves is too dangerous. I would go for (assuming everyone is fit and counting suspensions) ---------------Szczesny-------------- Eboue--Djourou--Koscielny--Clichy ---------Denilson---Song------------ --------------Fabregas--------------- Walcott------RvP---------------Nasri Denilson in might be controversial but he was really good against them last time and I feel Wilshire might be over his head a bit against a team as good as keeping possession as they are.
Walcott needs to start as it may keep Alves quite and stop him storming the wing as much if he knows their is a pacey winger alongside him. I'd agree with Sagna on the left could be useful against messi but that cocks up our attack as we use the wing backs alot to get forward. CANNOT play eboue as he gets forward far to often and doesn't track back. We just need someone physical to stop messi (by any means nessecary) thats the only way any team will keep him quiet.
