Blackburn miss good opportunity. Is 0-0 a better result for PSV than Arsenal?

Arsenal drew 0-0 with Blackburn at the Emirates as we all know. Match reports here and here for what was a truly forgettable match.

How as a Blackburn fan you can take that as a good performance I don't know and to be fair Cesc had a point. Would you pay to watch that every week? They came for a 0-0 bore draw and by no means am I suggesting they come out and try and outplay us as we know what happens. However they offered nothing going forwards.

However, in my opinion we were always likely to be a bit flat and the game on Tuesday was clearly on our minds meaning the likes of Henry, Cesc, Gallas hardly got above second gear for the first 80 minutes and attempted to do the minimum possible to win.

Therefore were Blackburn better off trying to be a little more positive? They gave us a closer game in the 6-2 game at the Emirates. Are they going to have a better chance to beat us than Saturday?

Are they more likely to beat us at home where we have aleady beaten them with 10 men and can play on the counter attack? Are we likely to have more energy than Saturday? Will we have such an important game to follow?

Blackburn may have just lost the best chance they have had to win the FA Cup and they are still under the false impression that that was a result gained rather than a chance lost.

Tomorrow is looking like we will have the first choice team barring Eboue and Van Persie. It will be interesting to see what formation we play, as a midfield 5 of Rosicky, Hleb, Gilberto, Cesc and Denilson or Ljungberg is a good philosophy if 0-0 is a good result.

The alternative being a 4-4-2 with no Ljungberg / Denilson and Adebayor and Henry up front which would give us a good chance to score which is vital in this instance.

I would be tempted to say we will go for 4-4-2 as unlike Myles Palmer says the actual rule about the Champions League is not about how good your Brazilians are..

It's about whether 0-0 away is a better result for us than them?

In the matches against Real Madrid away, Juventus away, Villarreal away 0-0 was a better result for us than them given the circumstances and so 4-5-1 played on the counter aka to our obvious strengths.

I would suggest 0-0 is better for PSV than us and so I would expect us to play a 4-4-2 consisting of Lehmann, Djourou, Senderos, Clichy, Toure, Rosicky, Hleb, Cesc, Gilberto, Adebayor, Henry.
