Players

I guess injury news is getting more severe now and even Kolo Toure will have to play almost immediately after his return from African Cup Nation.

The followings are in our injury news for now;

1.Senderos(knee)
2.Almunia(thumb)
3.Flamini(hamstring)
4.Rosicky(Hamstring)
5.Diaby(unknown)
6.Persie(thigh)
7.Denilson
8.Djourou

I think for now we have only 13-15 fit players for this match.

Technical Details

I’m certain confident that 4-5-1 is completely out for now,unless we are willing to use our 2nd team player.The major thing is the replacement for our injured players.

Lehmann could easily replace our Almunia.In fact,this is another good chance to prove his worth to Wenger.

Should Toure come back,he would get back his usual place,replacing Senderos.

Walcott will replace either Diaby or Rosicky.But he will more likely to replace Diaby.

Overall

Since Man. City did us a favor yesterday,we must do them a favor too with this win tonight.

And with Chelsea and Liverpool’s draw result yesterday,this is a very good chance for us to extend the lead by 5 points.

Match report

All started well for Gunners,they controlled the match and Adebayor scored just 10 minutes from the start of the game.

Then.Gunners played even more aggressively and nothing could be done by Erikkson’s side except defending.Ade tried to score one more but it’s not his time yet.

At 26th minute,Eduardo’s goal was simply stunning and well done.Praise to Adebayor too for his good header.Ade’s header was better nowadays.

But 2 minutes later,Corluka exploited profitably Clichy’s mistake to clear the ball or passing the ball to Lehmann and he gave the task of scoring to Fernandes,who just easily converted that mistake to goals.

But Man. City could not done better than exploiting mistakes.Gunners kept controlling the possession but no goals were produced until the half-time break.

In second-half,Man City could do nothing but to defend against powerful Gunners.They had some chance but their attack was just too weak.

Gunners finally finished Man. City hope to defend their home record when Ade scored again to give Gunners 3-1 win over Manchester City.

Match comments

We played very well today.Our passes were accurate and we controlled the game well.

But our defence was somewhat,not strong enough.Although our opponent had a little attack,but we nearly being conceded if Man. City’s striker was better.Fortunately,Man. City’s strikers were performing not up to par.

Our attack too was very good,but they somehow slowed down their attack themselves.A lot of time when we had chance to score,we just wasted them like that.

We were seem to attack without confidence today.Lots of overpassing happened.Final say,we could score more today,not just three.

Players

The following players are out for this game;

1.Almunia(Thumb injury)
2.Rosicky(hamstring)
3.Persie(thigh)
4.Gilberto(back)
5.Players who went for African Cup

I didn’t expect Rosicky to be injured again.If I’m not mistaken,he’s just recovered about two weeks ago and now he’s injured again.I’m speechless.

Lehmann will get his chance to play finally after Almunia injured his thumb.

According to Arsenal.com,we have only 14 fit players now and I don’t hope for more injuries.

Techincal Details

This game could be tricky for us.4-4-2 or 4-5-1 or even 4-4-1-1 is possible now.If we found our midfield is weak,4-5-1 is a good choice.If our attack isn’t strong enough we can always use 4-4-2 or even more extreme,3-4-3.But I don’t think Wenger will play 3-4-3.

If we’re playing counter-attacking game,4-4-1-1 is usable.

Final say,play with the play.If the course of the game require us to play certain style,then that style of play is the best if we know how to play them best.

Overall

This could be a good chance to us and Devils as well to clear their goal difference tension.Devils too have their danger visit to White Hart Lane.We travel to Manchester to North London and M.United travel from Manchester to North London.

Chelsea has to face Pompey away and this too could be chance for them to drop points.

Everton will have to face Blackburn,and this could be a good news for Liverpool,if they can beat Sunderland.
