Moyes masters defensive art 11:18am on 27 Jan 2009 I didn't really understand Rafa Benitez's problem with Everton's tactics. It's typical for teams outwith the top 4 to play 4-5-1 at Anfield, Stamford Bridge, Old Trafford and the Emirates; plus it's been well publicised that Everton only had one fit striker, in Victor Anichebe. The replay is hardly going to be any different, Fellouaini and Arteta will be back, but I'm sure Yakubu, Saha and Vaughan will still be on the sidelines.
Arshavin in debt to Dutch duo 11:41am on 26 Jun 2008 Arshavin's "late development" is most likely down to Zenit's recent success. Up until 2006, Zenit were in the shadow of the Moscow clubs, now they are European champions, with Arshavin the key part of their jigsaw. I saw their, and his, potential in July 2006 in a friendly at Ibrox, when they thumpd Rangers 4-1. Zenit have produced several players that have gone onto further success in Europe, like Alexandr Kerzakhov (now Sevilla) and Martin Skrtel (now Liverpool). Arshavin would be a perfect replacement at Man U for Paul Scholes, but if he has his heart set on Barca then he could easily fill the gap that Deco or Ronaldinho will be leaving.
