Arsenal For Fans – Gunn them down

Not only three points,but three goal differences as well.

Though score-line is expected,but the way they played for this scoreline was absolutely shocking.Wigan played to barricade the position,with some counterattack to our side.And with their physical game and their good luck,there are still no goals despite shot-by-shot attack to their defense.

In second-half,attacks increased and with higher tempo but the game was quite boring in 60-65th minute.And with some irritating scenes around that time,the game seems bleak for Gunners.

But the good thing is our players remained calm and steady in the game,and this type of playing rewarded them at 81st minute when our captain broke the wall and the shots just went in again to Wigan’s goal after 4 minutes from the first goal.

The tempo slowed down a bit after them,but their job is done anyway.

Ok,let’s talk about the technical side of the game.The game scene was similar to Newcastle’s in Carling Cup game two months ago(if I’m not mistaken).Our players worked hard to cope with the pressure from the fans and the defenders and they frustrated the defender with their late goal.

But Gallas’s action at 67th minute was unnecessary and the refs did a good job to him.But I admit he’s really a good captain and I’m happy we had found one.But please,no unneeded shoving.

One more I had to say is Heskey was very unethical in his way of playing,at least against us.I still remembered that he got sent off in our game against Birmingham few years ago.I hope he will be banned from playing EPL games.

Another good news to be heard is our former player,Anelka had helped us to lead the league by three points and three goal diff. with his stunning shot to Devils heart.Liverpool won Magpies by 3-0,Man City beat Reading by 2-1.

Let’s forget the England’s issue,it’s time again to focus on EPL again.

As usual,we lost someone after international game again,and this time Hleb will take Persie’s turn to miss 4-6 games,if he’s leave us for 21 days,as stated here

I guess we will have to cope with that,though it will be sad for us but as a team injury is unavoidable.Not only Hleb,even Diaby will miss tomorrow’s game,though he could return next week.Fabregas is suspended for this game,Gilberto is fit but I think he’s really exhausted,because as stated,he’s just back today.But he could be substitute for this game.

Persie has not recovered completely so he’s doubtful about this game.He could play I think,but it’s better to him not to play tomorrow.I still remembered that he became substitute for game against M.United despite being not fit,and the result is he was injured for 6 weeks because of metatarsal crack although he did scored for the game.It’s not worth to play one game and miss three game isn’t it?

On Wigan side,I’m not sure of their players but Steve Bruce has become the new manager of Wigan.I don’t sure why he come to Wigan from Birmingham but I welcome this anyway.But seriously I don’t think he can change Wigan into better team,since he can’t actually transform Birmingham into a great team in EPL.But we should not underestimate them.

On the technical side of the game,Arsenal should start with normal 4-4-2,with Eduardo and Adebayor as strikers.Walcott can be substitute if needed.I can’t say much on the midfield side though,since there will be a lot of changes in midfield side.But I’m sure that Rosicky would play as attacking midfielder.I don’t think there will be major change on defender’s side because most of defenders are fit for the game.

After Three Lions failed to qualify for euro 2008,there are sure a lot of opinion about the reasons why they can’t qualify for next year’s such a glamourous silverware fight in Europe.

After Mclaren took the blame,the media will surely put their fire on us,claiming that we didn’t train any Englishman in our squad except Walcott,who is actually not in England’s first squad.I hope such thing would not happen,but with the situation now I don’t think Arsenal can prevent the blame.Anyway,we are the most suitable one to be accused as the reason above,that has been mentioned many times before by a lot of people.

About this,not that I’m against England players in our squad.If they can play well under our Arsenal way I will welcome them happily.But if they can’t perform well I would rather watch someone that can play well than watching English players that performed badly in front of their supporters.I’m sure Arsenal fans pay more than $60 to watch beautiful football,not home grown players.Same goes to all other football club fans such as M.United,Liverpool,Chelsea and even Middlesbrough.I remembered at one time,Middlesbrough supporters tear their season tickets because the the way players played are disappointing,not because there are less than,let’s say 5 English players.Am I right?

Mentioning about England’s game yesterday,I could see that they defended very badly.Though there are some arguements about the players are just a substitution of first teams squad,they should be at least fit to put basic defending.I saw that they can’t even mark players properly and that could even result in more humilation in Wembley.

Mclaren shouldn’t be the manager at first.I don’t know why England FA picked him to hold such an important job.HE can’t even manage Middlesbrough well,what more the strong Three Lions?

Enough said.Let’s concentrate on EPL again,England better play their EPL at home.

Ok,we continue from the money issue.

EPL players are among the richest footballers in the world,or not almost world’s richest footballers are EPL players.SO when they are paid too much,they tend to only protect themselves and avoid risking themselves from injury.

And perhaps this explains why some poor countries like Cameroon,Ivory Coast can produce good players and Iraq beat one of the richest country in Asia,Saudi Arabia to be Asian Cup 2007 champion.

Arsenal and Chelsea target Croatian player Luca Modric

I just want to highlight the news.Though he’s a good player,but we didn’t need them.Our strikers and midfielder are too packed and there are no sense to pack another player into an already “crowded” position.We have a lot of good mid-fielders out here and there are even some good players that can’t play in our games such as Gilberto.So I don’t think we need him.Of course I will welcome him to Arsenal,but we didn’t need him.

About this transfer speculation,I’m undecided.But it’s just a speculation anyway.

Arsenal are also targeting Bolton’s goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen

I think this transfer will be better than above’s one,because Arsenal do need a good goalkeeper to match its good attacking.Yes,Jussi may not help Arsenal score a lot or have some effect in our team,but at least we are safer when we are leading the game.And we need replacement goalkeeper as well as we didn’t have any really good GK so far.

Not to say Almunia is bad,but I think he does not good enough to be Gunner’s first team goalkeeper.He can easily being tricked by a clever attackers.
