Lets play against Barca on PS3!

Another injury! Song suffered some swelling on the knee and apparently also has some groin injury. Once again a first team player gets injured. All we have as cover is another kid (Eastmond)! Not a single mid fielder tomorrow has any experience. Nasri, Diaby, Denilson are still learning. Even if we had a single experienced player, things would certainly seem better. That is why I feel that this game better be played on PS3 where we could welcome our injured players against Barcelona. I think we have a better chance to win that way.

Injury List: Gallas, Djorou, Gibbs, Song, Fabregas, Arshavin, Ramsey and RVP. Thats eight players out of which, possibly four would have started (Fab was suspended).

Seems like there is also a gamble for the CB position. Campbell and Silvestre played 90 mintues on Saturday and it will be difficult for them to put in another shift on Tuesday. I recon Wenger will play Campbell instead of Silvestre or may be take a gamble and play Eastmond. That however, seems very unlikely. I feel Wenger will start Eboue in place of Theo. Eboue also provides good cover to Sagna.

This is the first time I have felt to write that we may not win the game at Camp Nou. I cannot analyze the possibility of using winning at Barcelona. Its just unfair to lose eight first team players at the crucial period of the season.

I wish Almunia has a good day. I just dont want him to make a Almunia out of himself! Let them score magnificent goals, dont give away silly goals, thats all.

Barcelona warmed up to the game with a 4 goal thrashing of Atletic Bilbao. However, it was worth noting that a goal was scored against Barcelona. Abidal and Milito is still a strong CB pairing. If they play Bojan upfront, Barcelona wont be able to score the goals that they scored at the Emirates. I hope if Henry plays, he has a bad day.

I am going to predict a 3-1 win for Barcelona. I really cannot see us going ahead with some many injuries. It just seems very unlikely.
