Arsenal 2-0 Stoke City

December 5th, 2009

First,I must apologize for not posting my match preview for this match.I had my exam and went to PC exhibition yesterday.I was so tired that I slept right after I went back home.

Anyway,I’m glad that Gunners won the game,although some may not be used to our small margin victory at home.But we could have scored more if Fabregas’ penalty went in.That penalty was really unlucky for us.But we managed to scrap three points and continued to challenge Chelsea and Manchester United at top.

Here’s Wenger’s comment after the match;Source:Arsenal.com

On Arshavin being the answer to Van Persie absence…
“I don’t know yet, I have to try it again and to see if it works at home, away from home and to find as well a balance because I had many technical players around him with Rosicky, Nasri, Fabregas, Eboue, and all penetrating from deep positions. That is needed when you have a player like Arshavin. We will see but at the moment we do not have much choice with Walcott out, Bendtner out, Van Persie of course. But we could get Walcott back, we could get Bendtner back in two to three weeks. We had as well Diaby and Song out today, they should be available next week.”

Our team is disintegrating just like last season’s case.We started with fresh players and we ended with 30-40% of our players injured during December when we must stay fit.Like now,Arshavin is the only striker we have right now.Fortunately we have Wenger who can cope not badly with these injuries.We must have a deep squad to have the Title,but I don’t think we have that yet.I’m not sure why Gunners get injured much more easily that our rivals’ players.Could our players too plastic?I’m not sure.
