Match Report

I’m sorry to say that I didn’t watch the game because I was busy at that time.

After seeing the result,I think our title hope is over already.We better concentrated on Champions League.

I expect Arsenal to win because Liverpool fielded a weakened team against us today.Benitez is probably starting to think about the ‘next game’.

Another strange fact is Bendtner caused Gunners to draw twice against Liverpool,which you could think is bad or good for us.I have no comments regarding this.

Watching Liverpool’s first goal against us,I think it was a simple goal yet we couldn’t do anything about it.We need to defend better.

But the good news was Bendtner’s equaliser could boost up his confidence,after being blamed for his “save” from Gunners’ second goal.

Match Preview

Players

Persie is currently injured after he injured his thigh during Wednesday’s game against Liverpool

Adebayor too is slightly injured at the same time but this time he injured his ankle.But his appearance in this game has yet to be determined.But even he could play,he would be not likely to play for full 90 minutes

Technical Details

AGAIN,we need to be more creative

I’m always thinking why we drop points in EPL recently,while Devils gobble up points and goals on their opponent’s expense;and that’s why we just can’t score against Reds last Wednesday.

First,we lacked the creativity.Yes,we played slightly better games against Reds last time.But it seems that we need lots of energy wasted to just score a goal.Devils on the other hand,played much more easily to score.

Slick passing is Arsenal’s trademark since Wenger era.And it’s Wenger who make Arsenal look so exciting to watch.But I think some addition to slick passing will be even better,it could produce better results and most importantly,a more beautiful football.

Sorry to say,I rarely see Ferdinand or Vidic bring the ball until their opponent’s penalty box.While it’s good to see our defenders bring to penalty box,it leave Almunia alone when we encounter any counter-attacks from our opponents.That’s why we are frustrated when we took a hard time to score a goal,they just equalise very easily.

And same goes to Liverpool as well.While Reds take a hard time to score,their opponent equalise easily.

We need to have more players in our squad

Somehow I think our squad is too thin.When some of our players are injured,we seems short of options.And it happens now.I’m more concerned about our defenders.I can’t imagine who could replace Gallas and Toure,if they happened to be injured at a same time.

When I mean more players,it does not mean that we should go for a spending binge.We just need players that can qualify to replace our defenders while they are away.

Match Report

First-Half

As expected,the game started quite furiously.Why not?It’s a typical EPL game and that’s what we expect from a EPL game.

We dominated the game,but Liverpool made a good progress by counter-attacking and careful defence.

Adebayor scored first for Arsenal with his header,and credits should be given to him because he really tried to get the ball.

But 3 minutes later,Reds equalised when Gerrard’s cross managed to cross Arsenal’s goal,and Kuyt just easily got the ball into the net.

We continued to get the possession but it resulted nothing in first-half.

Second-Half

We stepped up the tempo,but we were somehow unlucky and we weren’t sharp enough.Liverpool,is satisfied with current score and defended more in the game.

Hleb’s penalty appeal failed although it was a clear foul on him.

Overall

We weren’t sharp enough in out attack.Control on the game means nothing if we don’t score.Will post more later because I’m tired now.

Match Preview

Players

Bacary Sagna will be out for this game.Other than Sagna,all other players that played against Bolton last weekend will be available.

Technical Details

In this stage,the most important thing is to have a strong mentality.Playing against Big Four in 10 days is no easy thing.I think this is the first time Wenger,or even Arsenal encountered such fixtures.

Ok,back to topic.We need to play more aggressively.We’re playing at home so it would be mostly we control the possession and Liverpool playing for a good counter-attack since they have a lot of great shooter.Torres is more on short-range shooter so he would be useful for the case when Liverpool dominate the game.

We need to have a real goal scorer.When this person gets the ball,he must score.There are sometimes when we tend to overpass.It’s very weird to have our defender to score.I still remembered in our 3-0 win against Liverpool long time ago,it was our defenders who scored all the three goals.Then what should our strikers do?Defend?

Overall

We need to kept focussed for at least 360 minutes,and even 390 minutes if needed.We need to beat the invincible Devils at Old Trafford,to have any chances for the title.

I don’t think we could stretch our stamina that far but at least,give a good fight in these fights.

We need to win this game at least to have any chance to step into semi-final stage.
