UCL: Arsenal Vs Standard Liege [2 - 0] On Tues 24th November by Cristalz(f): 2:19pm On Nov 23, 2009
Arsenal             10 points
Olympiacos        6 points
Standard Liege 4 points
AZ Alkmaar       2 points

In Group H, Arsenal are up against Standard Liege at the Emirates on Tuesday night.
Avoiding defeat at home to Standard Liege will guarantee Arsenal's passage to the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League for the tenth successive season. The visitors, meanwhile, need victory to put pressure on Olympiacos FC who lie in second place in the group.

Arsenal have been in good form in the UCL, getting the job done in all their games. After suffering an unexpected defeat to Sunderland over the weekend, Arsenal will be looking for a win on the night to give them a boost ahead of their upcoming EPL encounter with Chelsea.
In attack, Robin Van Persie and Nicklas Bendtner are ruled out with injury. Carlos Vela and Eduardo are available forwards for coach Wenger. Remains to be seen if Wenger will pair them up in front. Not very likely though.
Can't say for sure that Wenger will go for the usual 4-4-2 considering the fact that he is quite depleted in attack. His attacking midfielders are going to be well utilized on the night.
In midfield, Cesc Fabregas is a certain starter. Other choices are Nasri, Alex Song, Aaron Ramsey, Tomas Rosicky, Fran Merida Perez, Emmanuel Eboue and Andrei Arshavin. Now Wenger's headache is not availability, but picking the right combination.
In defense, Johan Djourou and Gael Clichy are out injured. William Gallas and Tomas Vermaelen should start, with Armand Traore, Bacary Sagna, Senderos and Silvestre as available choices. Manuel Almunia will be in goal.
All Arsenal need to do here is avoid a loss.  .  .they will need to be careful as they presently have problems with refraining from conceding.

Standard Liege moved to 3rd place with their 2 - 0 win over Olympiacos. A victory will give them a chance to qualify as Olympiacos will be under pressure.   .  .if the Greeks fail to win, that is.
In attack, names to look out for are Milan Jovanovic and Dieudonné Mbokani Bezua.
No major changes are expected in midfield and defense from the line-up that defeated Olympiacos.

Any result will do
As long as we are four points ahead of the 2nd placed team.
Beating the chavs on Sunday is the priority!

Wenger should resign if he fails to beat Chelsea at the Emirates on Sunday.

There's nothing special about Chelsea esp when they are AWAY from SB.

Arsenal will win this but not as easy as they will think. 3-1 the final scoreline. Arsenal will draw on sunday.

That's less than 50% of 16 making it to the next round.

But it's a disgrace that Arsenal(a seeded team) are still dragging their butts to cross the FINISH line.
If you put the TROPHYLESS situation into the equation then it is fair to say Arsenal have no AMBITION. grin
Re: UCL: Arsenal Vs Standard Liege [2 - 0] On Tues 24th November by edoyad(m): 8:36pm On Nov 24, 2009
Well the thing is disgrace is a tricky word. The disgraced finalist of the last UCL have qualified while the team that dished out the disgrace have not yet qualified wink

Vela is starting . Yes !
Re: UCL: Arsenal Vs Standard Liege [2 - 0] On Tues 24th November by kaypumpin2(m): 8:46pm On Nov 24, 2009
Wenger must not be trusting  Silvestre and Senderos,i was hoping to see Gallas rested.And Song too. . . undecided

Make dem remove Gallas now,his face is so swollen he can barely see with his right eye.
Re: UCL: Arsenal Vs Standard Liege [2 - 0] On Tues 24th November by edoyad(m): 9:28pm On Nov 24, 2009
Hope the Gallas thing is minor. The guy like to feign injury every match so when he gets really injured you feel no sympathy
Re: UCL: Arsenal Vs Standard Liege [2 - 0] On Tues 24th November by Cristalz(f): 9:30pm On Nov 24, 2009
What's your score line?

Why did the referee fail to give Liege a penalty?
Gallas clearly FOULED Liege's player. . . .A tackle from behind.

What a GOAL from Denilson.
This goalkeeper is a disgrace.
