Arsenal will play against CSKA Moscow at home in the UEFA Champions League group stage.
Two weeks ago,Arsenal were beaten 1-0 in the freezing cold Lokomotive Stadium.Theirry Henry controversial disallowed equalizer goal added dismay to Arsenal.Gunners will try to take revenge from that lost at home.
However,we already saw CSKA Moscow is a great team.Their player’s body size and their fast counter-attacking will worry Arsene Wenger.I personally think CSKA will try to control midfield like Everton did last 3 days.Besides that,CSKA will try to concentrate more to defend and will counter-attack when there is a chance.
Here’s Arsenal’s standing in UEFA Champions League Group G

The victory against CSKA will be extemely important because if Arsenal draw,there are quite some posibility Porto will replace Arsenal in 2nd place and Gunner will have some problem.Unless Hamburg beat or draw with Porto,Arsenal must beat or at least draw with CSKA Moscow this time.
Arsenal drop to fifth place after a drew with Everton.Fortunately,Arsenal managed to equalize otherwise Arsenal will drop to sixth place.Manchester United and Chelsea keep racing in the Premierhip when both of them earned three points from a victory over Bolton and Sheffield United respectively.West Ham finally got a win after 6 lost in the last 6 games.
Manchester United will face Portmouth in Old Trafford,meaning it should be easy for the Devils.Arsenal will travel to West Ham to face Hammers.Arsenal should be careful because I’m scared West Ham managed to find their soul.If Arsenal can beat Hammers(West Ham),Arsenal should can take back their forth place if Portsmouth draw or beaten by Manchester United.Bolton will try to beat Wigan after being thrashed by Manchester United 4-0,especially the Devil’s striker Wayne Rooney who scored a hattrick in Reebok Stadium last two days.
Chelsea should have no problem facing Spurs in home.
But we will see first Arsenal’s performance in Champions League at home against CSKA Moscow. Hopefully,Arsenal can revenge their lost the Russia last two weeks.
However Everton’s first adventure into the Arsenal half led to their goal. In the 11th minute, Mikel Arteta sent a corner into the area, Kolo Toure misjudged his backward header and it thumped off the chest off the onrushing Cahill. The ball bounced down nicely for the Australian midfielder to crash his shot high into the net from close range.
Although Gunners generated a lot of dangerous attack,Everton seems to hold the defense properly until van Persie scored a flying free-kick into the opponents net in 70th minute.After that the attacking continued but the result is same as the titie above.
Manchester United on the other side had a great game beating Bolton 4-0 at Reebok Stadium,a little humillation to the Trotters.Liverpool managed to find their souls after defeated the only unbeaten team in the Premiership,Aston Villa.Chelsea as expected,beat Sheffield United 2-0.
Fortunately,Arsenal managed to equalise otherwise Everton will overtake Arsenal in fifth place currently.
Not long after I type this post(After a few hours),Arsenal will be playing against Everton.M.United will visit Reebok Stadium to try beat Big Sam and His Wanderers,Liverpool will be little bit worried to fight Aston Villa,the only unbeaten team so far this season and managed to drew with Arsenal and Chelsea although they will be playing in Anfield.
Here the video if you want to recall the Arsenal’s game against Everton whcih Arsenal thrashed Everton 7-0
However,Gunners should not taken Everton lightly because of their great form this season. If Arsenal can earn a victory in this match it will be great because if Bolton got beaten by Manchester United,Arsenal will climb to third place of the Premiership.But I hope M.United can draw with Bolton.Why,if you analyse carefully,Arsenal can actually have the third place if they win their one match in hand.So,a draw between this two team is be GREATEST for Arsenal.
I really hope Arsenal can win this match since Arsenal have the posibility to have 3rd place in Premiership.
Why,everyone expected a draw or even a defeat for the Gunners match against Reading.Manchester United suffered a draw whereas Chelsea is even worse,had to play with disadvantage for the rest of the season(At least half)when their main goalkeeper,Petr Cech picked up skull injury and is near death but now he’s slowly recovering.
Let me tell you something.M.United playing with full of guts and momentum.They are playing very powerfully.I sometimes even said some of the M.United goals could break the net.Whereas Chelsea are playing more defensively meaning some of their attack is more counter-attacking.
Actually Arsenal could beat Reading easily whereas the Devlis and The Blues cannot simply because different playing style.As you know,Arsenal likes to play passing games,playing much more softly than the other two does.Some even said that Arsenal playing like Latin danca or similiar to teams who played in Primera Liga and Series A.But I admit that the injury of Cech(Chelsea goalkeeper) helped a little bit in Arsenal victory because if Lehmann is injured again,the whole world will be focused to them because they had injured 3 goalkeepers in 2 match (If they had injured Lehmann but it’s not).Who would like to be focused because of bad things or behaviour.I personally think Robinson(Tottenham and England’s goalkeeper) doesn’t like to see the main line in the Daily Express(an England press) write “Down To you Misses Robinson”. No offence to him,as I had also actually sympatize with him.Every goalkeeper could make mistake,so don’t actually laugh too much to the goalkeeper about his mistake.
Reading couldn’t did anything to resist Arsenal’s game.Although I admit Arsenal got bit of luck on the match,but I think Arsenal were handling Reading’s player easily.
Please feel free to comment me,whether it’s good or bad,just let me know about it. Thank you for reading this post and sorry to Reading fans,no offence to you as we all are football fans and we are looking forward for better gmae.
