    Should Crouchy start on Tuesday?

    Arsenal simply cannot handle him. He scored that wonderful hatrick against them last season in the league game and was superb against yesterday.

    I personally think he should start.

    Whether he will is another question though as can't see Rafa changing the system.

    most definitely. that Arsenal defense can't cope with crouch as admitted by Wenger. He won't though.

      Yes but he won't, and I could understand it perfectly well if he didn't.

      He's got fair claims to start though. Gallas just can't handle him, and if they go the same way with Toure at right-back, Senderos & Gallas would have a nightmare trying to live with Torres & Crouch.

      Not gonna happen though. I think we'll be unchanged from the 1st leg.
      Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’

        Definately off the bench if the need arises. I can't see any changes to the lineup from the 1st leg, other than a possible change in the back 4.

          Also Arsenal have the pace to cope with torres and Babel at the back hense babels **** performance the other night so the more direct approach would be more beneficial.

            I think the question should be should Plessis be involved - what a debut!!!
            Thanks for the memories Rafa - YNWA!

              Crouch has got 5 in 5 starts versus Arsenal.

              I'd love to see that lad have more minutes - he won't start on Tuesday but I think he should

                We do cause them alot more problems when Crouch plays.Both Gallas and Toure are really quick and strong therefore Torres's game will suite them better.Crouch on the other hand is very awkward to play against and it was very clear to see yesterday how some of most composed players in the league were just hoofing the ball away when there wasn't a player within 4 yards of them.

                It really is a tough one to call though.

                I trust Rafa to make the correct one.

                  I'm not really a Crouch fan, but we should definitely go 4-4-2 on Tuesday and see if we can kill the game off early. This Arsenal defence can't cope with Crouch, and if they move Toure to RB again to cope with Babel, Crouch and Torres may just get the better of Senderos & Gallas.

                  We need to score early, because if they do, it'll be a long night. Even at 1-0 to us, 2-1 or 2-2 will do them, and they're quite capable of scoring 2 they way we're defending from set pieces at present. We need to grab the game by the scruff of the neck from the off and stifle them. Then once we're 2-0 or 3-0 up revert to 4-2-3-1.

                  1-0 to them early on would make me really nervous.

                        While every one is thinking Crouch isn`t starting(Including Wenger) Rafa is probably thinking "I`ll surprise them all again.

                          I'd agree...but then we lose Kuyt's work rate and chasing back.

                          Why not have Torres cutting in from the left and let Babel ride the bench

                          I think Rafa sticks with the same team though, only change might be Carra back to CB, but Crouch would defo be the no 1 option off the bench after saturday

                              We could play 442 with Mascher and Gerrard in the middle. Kuyt and Babel on the wings
