I would play any of Eboue, Denilson, or Djourou in Gilberto’s position way ahead of Flamini if the centre backs are any of Toure/Senderos/Gallas.

United need to be mauled and torn apart and that can be done with tigers (Denilson), jaguars (Djourou) and panthers (Eboue) rather than with a barking and biting silky terrier.

Maybe we will see one or two surprise selections.

fair point, eboue was brilliant against united at OT as he gave us that something extra on the right and personally I think eboue is probably better equiped to cope against giggs or ronaldo depending who’s on the left wing. if eboue is fit wenger will pick him.

just hope we can contain ronaldo because i hate to say it but that guy has been awesome this season! but he’s the only real threat because rooney has gone off the boil this season and scholes and giggs are past it.

People have been too quick to write Eboue off…when he’s fully fit he provides another attacking dimension and links superbly with Hleb…they could also keep ronaldo pinned back and limit his threat

If Gallas comes back, it will compensate Giberto’s loss. Eboue has not grown up and so he should stay on the bench. Of late, Walcott has gone of the boil too. I predict 2-1 for the Arsenal altho’ I am praying for 6.

I hope Hoyte plays on Sunday because Eboue is a liability! Against Rovers and Liverpool we focused on winning and did the job, but Eboue dives around and messes about!

its not cut and dried that RVP will start up front. Ade has a good shout.
at the back I dont think it matters whether its senderos or Djourou. they are both having good seasons and big phil has had a good couple of games so it might be worth using that momentum.
The flamster has not let us down in the big games as you say, so I am happy with that replacement.
whichever striker he goes for I really hope if we are behind or drawing after 55-60 minutes, wenger changes it round to bring the other one on. sometimes a change in striker can make a big difference to the way the team functions.
