When is?

[Red_Polo]

Didn't Arbeloa win the MOTM award when Depor played Barca earlier this season?

Not sure but I know he mentioned himself that he played very well against him in his interview on the offal.

[AFII]

Looking forward to getting a look at this Arbeloa fella, AFII reckons he's **** hot because he had him in his team line-up for us vs Barca.

I don't think he is **** hot. I just think that it he would be our best right back option with Finnan on the right midfield. We need Stevie in the middle to stop Xavi, Deco and Ronaldinho.

I'm only joking you big Swedish lovely

I've barely thought about who's going to play but I think it'll be a 4-5-1. I hope Momo has a good game because he's great at disrupting the midfield build-up play that is so key for them.

[The Glove]

ArbeOLA might be getting a full game vs the Blades next weekend.

But then again he might not.

[Red_hot]

that new spanish lad going to play? the right back that isn't at all like Josemi in any way.

I hope not for a while, too many big games coming up.

Photos?

Yes he did and I wouldn't be surprised if he played against Barca with Finnan playing on the right midfield.

Finnan has proved that he's no right midfielder. I know what you're getting at is that it would make our right flank more solid but to be honest, would it?

To throw the new guy in at the deep end and move an established full back out of position, wouldn't that just upset the balance?

Besides we've got more brilliant central midfielders* than we know what to do with at the best of times so at least one of them will probably find themselves doing the graveyard shift out wide.

Hmmmm, interesting. You are not stupid. Not sure how to deal with that

I can probably direct you to a couple of Marky's threads if you want?

Yeah that's what I said to him. It's not worth gambling on the new lad just because he's played well against Ronnie before when we have a player of Finnan's calibre to mark him anyway. Defences are not just about one-on-one anyway, we need to be solid as a unit. LOL @ Not Zenden

I think Rafa will put Gerrard on the right to help try & contain the buck toothed genius for the away leg, with Momo & Alonso in the centre.
