What Real Needs To Beat Arsenal?

don't get me wrong madridistas, but...you have to admit...good or bad, arsenal looks better than real today. I mean, for a much longer time, they have a more compact team, with some players being traded or going to other teams, that's true...but anyway, it still looks better than the galacticos, which don't properly have a team for almost three years (or since del bosque left).

in my opinion, it looks more like arsenal's. of course, football isn't logic and that's why it's great. but for me, real needs a miracle or a divine act to reach the qualification.

and that miracle is called ronaldo...and the divine act is called robinho.

ronaldo is such a riddle for me. he still is in my vision, the best forward of the world. wha he can pull off when he's inspired, no one can. and here's the problem - inspiration. it seems to be a fog over his head lately, and more than ever (what's a reason of big concern for us brazilians) ronaldo seems so...blank, empty, lacky of motivation than EVER. he has been like that for years now.

ok, he had a decent season start. btw, what a start! great plays as in the golden days, goals every match, until the damn injury agains atletico de madrid. maybe i'm being unfair...but if u pick up his last seasons and search for his best moments, u won't find much...and not so many 'best' as the former ronaldo's best ones.

however, he can feel the push of a match like this and do the whole difference. a decisive match like this could be the ignition for his great objective (and he told to reporters) which is doing great in cup and fighting for the top striker position.

and almost the same for robinho. i mean, the match against the gunners could be in his vision the real 'big break' since he got to bernabeo. his game is improving every match - i'm not saying because of his beautiful goal in the last match, but 'cause is true. as a corinthians fan, I sadly learned to never defy robinho before important matches or even doubt of his capacity to change the look of a match like that. it could be in his case, as well, the big explosion straight to the top.

but in both cases, it all goes from the ball to the head. i wonder what those boys are REALLY thinking lately.

p.s.: spicy comment - if madrid beats arsenal...hold on your chairs barcelona fans...there will be revenge. it will be like...huh, hmm...a 'new beginning'. i guess...

I think Real should just hire Moyes as manager, then sign players like Nuno Valente, Phil Neville, Tony Hibbert, and James Beattie. :jambo:

But really, I think that both teams are shadows of what they once were. Proof of this for Arsenal is in the match against Everton, they looked awful, and unlike other teams, couldn't pull off a victory. They'll both need to drastically improve their game if they want to go into the latter stages of the tournament.

Arsenal should be ok against Real , they struggle against typical premiershiip teams , who pack 5 hard tacklers into midfield and play long balls to a big striker up front.

We are going up.... really fast (6)
instead Arsenal is still declining...

and there is more than robinho and ronaldo in this team....
maybe neither of them end up playing against Arsenal.. who knows :jambo:
suchs as.. zidane, guti, even becks with his fk.. aka arsenal keeper sux :rolleyes:

It could go either way :hump:

I really hate arsenal, put their style of play will slive up reals defence/midfield. Should be attacking football and a lot of goals to be honest, both defences are ****za.

Real has been playing well recently, the defence is still weak though, they give goals away to easy, but if they play like they have been doing the last 3 or 4 games, then I can't see why Real can't beat Arsenal, they will beat them anyways, IMO Real is being underestimated atm.

You can't be serious about Arsenal being better than Real right now. Lately Real pulled their **** together and started scoring, while Arsenal lost to Everton and needed a ref to get their game with Wigan into Extra Time, where they went out anyways. Arsenal's defense didn't look that great in the past few games, while their forwards, except the boro blowout looked far from sharp. Real on another hand looked pretty consistent winning games with clean sheets a lot.

No ways Arsenal are favourites here, just put someone like Cicinho with Henry and there you have the whole attack shut down. Arsenal might cope in some way with Robinho's skills and speed, cause they are used to it everyday in practice, but Beckham's crosses could be too much for them.

Arsenal are still considered an average European side. They often underachieve and fail to reach the semis. Honestly I don't think the Arsenal players have a strong and tough enough "winning mentality". Without Viera they are weak in midfield compared to all other great European sides.

Henry wont be shut down by him. Real need to cut off his supply so then he is forced to go deeper and deeper to recieve the ball.

Beckhams crosses to who? Real Madrid dont have that target man type player to cause us to much harm.

This tie for us will depend on the form of Gilberto who has been **** all year for us and whether we play a 4-4-2 or a ******* 4-5-1, if he turns up and protects our back 4 it will allow Cesc to show his range of passing and Pires to be a bum without causeing the team too much harm

I agree though there is no way we are favourites. Our team hasnt been out of form its been lacking spirit and leadership problems that are probably more worrying than the ones at Real

Both teams suck, its a shame Chelsea or Barcelona have to get knocked out and one of these teams can go on. Same applies to Rangers.

I've been watching both Arsenal's and Real's matches lately and real have been fantastic these last 4 or 5 matches, especially when they called Gravesen back in the First Team. As for Arsenal they're really inconsistent for the moment, losing points against more "inferior" sides. So I wouldn't say that Arsenal look better than Real for the moment. As djgperu1 said, Real are going up really fast and Arsenal are declining...

AND if you take a look at the Tables, you will realise that Arse are lagging behind from the leaders by 25 points whereas Real are only 13 points from Barca. This shows that Real are in a much better position at the moment.

If Real wanna win they have to drop Baptista (6)

Madrid and Arsenal have never played each other in CL, so it's all a big "?". Madrid is improving a lot in last matches though, and begining to seem a team again.

Real Madrid sucks this season, unfortunately for Arsenal, they're still miles better than them. Real Madrid is doing decent recently in the league, while Arsenal is inconsistent and plainly sucks. Plus you can add that the Spanish league is quite a lot better than the English
