Uncertain. Would probably rather stick with Song in midfield to be honest, though Denilson has been playing better than usual for a while now, I still don't rate him at all in terms of defensive capability. Just doesn't get back and cannot tackle. If it's just for one match then I'd probably go with Silvestre. That said, Diaby helped sure things up a lot once he came on...whatever Arsene chooses will be fine with me tbh.

On the subject of not making runs, Arshavin looked totally knackered after about 25 minutes today, looked completely off colour. Much as I think he is great, he's one of the most frustrating players I've ever encountered.
Love Abou, another who's come on massively over the course of the season. I agree with you, think we can get by with Silvestre for one game and am much happier with Song in midfield. Apparently Sagna used to play at CB occassionaly before he joined us, not that I think Wenger will try that.
Also agree about Arshavin, did seem to be blowing out of his ass from very early doors. He had a few moments and was good in the build up play but he wasn't 100% at the races today.

Arshavin rarely is completely at the races I find, even in the games where he pops up with a ridiculous goal he is often very hit and miss in all the rest of the build up play. Not a massive concern though, as he is pretty great, and it's not like his competition for his place in the side is any more consistant either. So annoying though, when a player who is so obviously capable is let down by his final touch over and over. Will put it down to this being his "difficult second season", am confident he will go full circle and get back to his best.

Will be cheering on Liverpool tomorrow, for the first time in as long as I can remember. Can really see them getting a result as well. Would be just Rafa's luck to arse it up against all the smaller sides in the league and then pull this one out of the bag before then getting back on the slide. Pains me to support any team managed by Big Sam due to their horrible style, but I suppose I'll be rooting for Blackburn tomorrow as well.

What a win for Spurs last night. Injuries to key players, before the match and during it too.

Stoke at Stoke is never easy. Great for Spurs that Villa only managed a draw against Wolves. :)

Sometimes he takes that touch more than he should, but that's his style. He has quick feet, gets players to lunge in for the ball when he looks like he should have passed/shot earlier and he ends up dribbling around them and creating more havoc. Benayoun has a comparable trait.

Anyway, hope we beat United. Anyone but them winning the title is fine with me.

If we lose today, I'm killing a kitten. By supporting Liverpool you're all wishing death upon that poor little kitten. How could you all be so evil?
