A lot of this weekend’s match result is in favor with Gunners.Teams ranging from 2nd from 7th place drop points(Except Man. Utd which beat Blues 2-0) and Arsenal gain another three points and another 5+ goal difference,making us the greatest goal scorer as well as greatest goal scored:goal conceded margin.Some may argue that Gunners are not really tested yet,they haven’t played with Liverpool,Man. United and Chelsea.Yes,it may be true but I think we must beat smaller teams first before beating all the big teams.In fact in Premiership we didn’t need to win all the match against the another “Big Three”,all draws will be suffice.We just need to get about 90-100 points and the chance to win the EPL title is pretty high(I haven’t see yet a team which get 100 points in EPL,could Arsenal be the 1st?).
It’s frustrating to see Gunners could beat or play well against the big teams but played poorly against the smaller teams,just like last season.I recall Wenger’s analysis that shows we can be EPL holder last season if the EPL teams just consist of “Big Four”.But sadly EPL games is not just against the Big Four only;we had a lot of teams to play with.Take Liverpool as example,they could drew or even beat Chelsea at Anfield last few weeks but failed to win Birmingham at Anfield.Aren’t Liverpool fans disappointed with that?
The match between Man.U with Blues has always been an attention on all football fans our here.With the departure of Mourinho from the team,the match is even more interesting with the new coach,Avaham Grant took the hot seat in Blues.Well,Man U beat Chelsea 2-0 and I personally think that Chelsea lost the game because they played very poorly;the way they played the game is boring and they didn’t plan an attack seriously.They just cross the ball,pray for God to head or shoot the ball into the net.That made a difference between Red Devils and Blues I think.Feel free to disagree with me and let’s have an argument about that.
