Comments on match

I’m sorry I can’t comment much because I didn’t watch the game yesterday.

But from watching the highlights and my friend’s comment about the match,we did created lots of chances and we could score even more and we could do it too the 6-0 score sheet did by Devils.

Our defense are much more solid compared to the last game’s match.Maybe Wenger learned something from last weekend’s match.

Flamini’s goal was a screamer and how great if we could score goals like this every match.But a goal is a goal so the most importantly it is a goal.The 2nd goal was the Magpie’s killer.

But of course credits should be given to our top scorer Adebayor who scored our first.Without his goal,we seems losing the “3 points” protection.

Let’s see how Devils fared against Portsmouth tonight.

Players

I guess there were no major players change from the players last game against the Magpies.Perhaps Walcott will not play in this game or he will play as midfielder,just like the last game’s position.

Robin is still injured so he would of course could not play this game.

Technical Details

I don’t think we should use the same way to beat them last weekend to play against them again.It’s not nice to apply same skills to a same opponents.But I don’t know what way we should play against them.Perhaps more direct shots but we must learn to shoot properly otherwise there will be lots of missed chances.

But again,if we defend carefully and we could dominate the game then the 3 points are in our bag.

Overall

This is EPL game so goal margin counts here,which means if we could beat them 7-0 and Devils beat Portsmouth 1-0,we are top of the table for more goal scored.We can’t afford to be conceded even a goal,not mentioning dropping points in a match.

If we look from Magpies’ side,they must strive hard not to lose the 2nd game against us in an embarrassing manner.So they should defend even more better and they could have better play against us compared to last weekend’s.

Match report

We can’t do much in first-half,could be due to Magpies tight defending.We did have some chances to score but our players somehow lacks understanding between each other.But we have more control in the game.

In second-half,we took even more control in the game and Eduardo nearly added his name to the score sheet 5 minutes after the 2nd-half started,but his shot just managed to bang the post.Adebayor however quickly shut-off our disappointment with his great shot to the goal to make us lead the game 1-0.

Newcastle did try some counter-attack on us but they can’t do much on our defense.We got back the possession swiftly.

At 82nd minute,Adebayor killed Magpies’ hope to get back into the game when he scored another one to make Gunners proudly lead the game 2-0.

Newcastle’s game in Emirates became more misery for them when Butt scored their goal one minute before the game enters extra-time.

Comments

We played well in this game,but again our defense is just average.Credits should be given to Senderos because he did lots of good clearance.But if we play a team with good counter-attacking skills and we are dead.

Our passes were absolutely brilliant and Ade’s goals were just great to see.

Players

I think we will have lots to talk in this section.I’m shocked that Ade and Bendtner fight made more headlines than our 5-1 defeat in White Hart lane.

This means it’s not good to play them together as striker,though Ade had apologized for this incident.Bendtner’s father even labeled our Togonese as mad and this sparks even more the fire between them.I don’t want we fight ourselves like Newcastle’s player long time ago.

Since this game is a home game,this game must a-win game for us.If we lose or draw,we will lose our confidence and this will affect a lot our EPL game,especially another Magpies visit this Tuesday.SO we must field out our best to win the game.

But Wenger intends to field our his “fringe” players,should our schedule is too tight for us.Source:Arsenal.com

Wenger also hinted that he may use ‘fringe’ players for FA Cup ties if Arsenal’s fixture list becomes too congested with Premier League and Champions League commitments.

“Our main targets are the Premier League and the Champions League,” said the Arsenal manager. “We will prioritise that.”

I guess Wenger learned his lesson last season when Gunners lost all their silverware in just 12 days.

Technical Details

I think we could just play our normal game,just we have to strengthen our defense to prevent ourselves to be advantaged by Magpies by away goals,should we draw this game.

We should be more calm and not too attack-minded until we forget our goalkeeper,thinking that only our opponent has goal bar.

Our attack was absolutely great,even against Spurs last Tuesday.So I won’t worry much about it.But somehow,they should learn to be more flexible in ways they attack.Slick-passing is not only way to score;long-ball passing,long shots,quick-counter attacking are also ways used by many teams all over the world to score.

Tottenham vs. Arsenal match report

January 22nd, 2008
Tottenham 5-1 Arsenal

Tottenham :Jenas 3 Bendtner 26(og) Keane 47,Lennon 59,Malbranque 90,
Arsenal:Adebayor 69

We were clearly humiliated in this game.We played well actually but our defense was rubbish throughout the game.

About Spurs first goal,sorry to say,it was just a lucky goal.About the 2nd goal,it was very ridiculous to us.It was scored by our own striker,Bendtner.

Spurs 3rd goal was a result of our poor defending but credits should be given to Berbatov and Robbie Keane for their accurate pass.Same goes to 4th goal.

We did create some hope with Ade’s goal at 69th minute and he proves Wenger should play him earlier in this game.

Tottenham dashed Gunners hope with their defense-minded play and the worst come the worst,the fifth humiliation came at 90th minute when Jenas took advantage of our KO-ed team and Malbranque added goal to the insult.

Tottenham’s defending was error-proof and their counter-attack was absolutely great.Our defending on the other hand was rubbish and our attack was average.Our strikers can’t play other style other than slick passes.Adebayor was slightly better by playing more aggressive strike and it made our consolation in this game.

4-1 or 5-1,it makes no difference to us.We better think of ourselves now.And congratulations to Tottenham.Good luck to them in Wembley.
