The only position Eboue can play is at right back or right midfield. He doesn't have the disipline to play at centre back or midfield, and more importantly the temprament - he moans at even the slightest tackle so playing in the middle where most of the tackles happen is a non-starter!

I don't like to think this will be Wenger's line up but you may be suprised: Lehmann Hoyte Eboue Senderos Clichy Gilberto Hleb Flamini Cesc RvP Adebayor I can bet this will be the line up. And in a way, maybe, given the current news, this team may be able to compete. I just hope we give a good account of ourselves. The best thing I like about this game is that we are not expected to win. In that way, we are under less pressure than Chelsea. They must win. I'm sure Arsenal fans will be happy to avoid defeat. I feel it is better for Gilberto to retain his position and protect the back 4. If Eboue can retain possession like lc says then he should stay at CB. Eboue will do a better job at CB than at DM. And I also think Flamini will start because Wenger believes he can fight and Flamini is seen as a player who can get stuck in in the middle. You never know. I just hope a miracle happens. I have a sneak feeling that Gallas will make it and that this is only a smokescreen. Gallas knows Mourinho and would have advised that Wenger say he has a small chance of being available. Just watch WG10 run out on Sunday. You heard it first from me! I definately expect to see Hoyte at RB but I don’t know where Arsene will use Eboue.

Eboue 's got better ball control and passing then Gilberto. He doesn't lose too many balls and he is not the sort of a player who would give away the ball under pression. And don't forget; he was a defensive midfielder when he was brought to Arsenal. Weng’ I, yes. Eboue ’s got better ball control and passing then Gilberto.

Unfortunately for every other team than Barca Ronaldinho has started to hit some form. Real Madrid don't look that impressive especially since Capello took over. We could beat Real over two legs, but Barca would be tough. To be honest I think we could get past any of those teams - with Henry back to his best next month. lc, are you suggesting playing Eboue in defensive midfield and Gilberto at the back!?

The current squad is good for Europ and we can beat any team. Forget about yesterday's display. It was designed to be played that way. My formation to play Chelsea on Sunday with regard to injury news. 4-5-1. Lehman. Flamini(or Hoyte)- Sanderos- Gilberto- Clichy. Eboue. Lehb- Fabregas- RVP- Freddy. Adebayor.

And, Real Madrid are an entirely dfferent matter this year. I'd rather we draw Baraca from from the two.

Bayern Munich, Valencia, Lyon, Milan. (I dont think we would have been able to be drawn against Enlish clubs yet) I would rather knowing we can get drawn against Lille, or Roma, or Celtic or PSV than any of the above.

In such cases the results of the games against the fourth team are excluded. In this case this would have been irrelevant (Hamburg would not have taken any points from anyone), so then it goes on goal difference, with the order being Arsenal, then Porto, then Moscow (unless Moscow had got a hatfull against Hamburg).
