Sevilla v Arsenal, Pre/Dur/Post Match [R]

[HomeatHighbury]

Saturday, 1 day before my birthday, oh, sorry, August 9, 2008.
Kickoff at 6pm GMT, 1pm ET.
Television: SkySports2 in the UK, ESPN360 in the US, or that kickass Dutch stream.

Amsterdam Tournament, Part II.

We get Sevilla after our semi Bolton-esque come from 2-0 down at the half to win 3-2 match against Ajax.

Vamos Arsenal...

[phishy]

who wants to wager the "hoyte's" will be in the first team? ahahhaa
hoyte-hoyte-djourou-traore

[Catfish]

My Prediction: 2-1 to The Arsenal.
Should be another wide open affair.

UP THE ARSENAL!

oh god no.

hope we see a good dose of jack though

[Papa Burgundy]

i think wilshere and ramsey will get a good run out. how come vela wasn't on the bench for the game against ajax? i want him to get some playing time tomorrow.

[KirbyNYC]

Did we bring the whole squad up there? If so the Huddersfield squad might be starting tomorrow. I think Le Boss played the bulk of the starting XI for 75 minutes to get them used to the regular season schedule. WBA is a week from today.

With that said, here's my starting XI against Sevilla:

-------Fabianksi--------
Hoyte--Djourou--Hoyte--Gibbs
Randall--Wilshere--Ramsey--Traore
------Bendtner----Vela

2-1 to Arsenal. GO ON YOU YOUNG GUNNERS! :D

About what I expect, too. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a bit stronger than this, though -- maybe Eboue and Senderos in the mix.

[GetEmGooners]

2-0 gunners

[TheArgonaut]

-------Fabianksi--------
Hoyte--Djourou--Hoyte--Gibbs
Randall--Wilshere--Ramsey--Traore
------Bendtner----Vela




I think this is what we'll see, except Senderos for Hoyte at CB and Wilshere and Randall in their correct positions.

Arsenal 2 - 2 Sevilla

[coltcannon]

Im gonna try to watch this after I go to Great Taste of the Midwest, 500 breweries with several beers each. Hopefully its a good run out and not a long night before the redream team(:rolleyes:) on sun.

if the justin hoyte to Boro for 3.5 mill is correct, i dont expect him to play for risk of getting injured...

I watched one on your site the other day. well done!

[frednmethod]

Is Sevilla also starting with their 2nd string side like we are, or are they going full-strength? I'd rather they put out the latter but it wouldn't happen if they also played a match a short while ago.

[jozef adil]

I suppose the first teamers will get some rest for the twente fixture,
so the line-up could be something like this?

Fabianski
Hoyte - Djourou - Senderos - Gibbs
Randall - Ramsey - Thomas - Wilshire
Bendtner - Vela

Or Djourou in midfield and Thomas in defense, 'cause that midfield looks really young. (All british though!) And Kolo an Cesc could use some minutes.
Meh, just guessing, anybody got a better idea?

[FabregasTED]

I can't see Cesc and Kolo each not getting another half. The question is will it be from the start? Or at half time?
