Match Preview

Players

All players except Nasri,Walcott,Rosicky and Eduardo will be able to play in this game.Gallas is back to the squad as well.

Technical Details

This will be a tough away game,so 4-5-1 formation should be better since we need to strengthen our defence and midfield area.Again,Eboue should play at right back.Letting him playing in left back like the Wigan’s game is like giving chicken to someone who likes duck.

I hope Persie will do well with this formation.Bendtner could replace him if his form is not too good.Bendtner is better with long balls since he’s taller,and therefore he has more aerial advantage.

Overall

This game is not really important since we are qualified to knock-out stage already.We don’t really need to win this game,a draw is enough to send us to win the Group G.

And it’s just for the matter of pride.Even we finish top the group,we won’t really draw a weaker team.So,this game is less exciting to watch compared to other games.

But,Arsenal match is certainly worth a full 90 minutes watch.

Match Preview

Players

Gallas abd Eboue could miss the game,and I think they will unlikely to feature in this game.All other players are OK for this game.

Technical Details

Since we are at home,have lots of striking and strikers options available,we could play our usual 4-4-2.Again,we should be more and more careful against their corners and free-kicks.

Wigan could park a bus in front of their goal,so we must keep the game open and we should try one-timer kick instead of dribbling the ball into the net.Chelsea stroke a lot of one-time header and shot and we should be very lucky to concede only one goal.This one-timer kicks and heads is one skills we should master to enhance our football.We can’t pass all the time and play only one style of football all the time.We can’t eat breads only all the time,right??

Overall

Again,home pressure is here but I really hope Gunners could pick more points against smaller teams and this game must and should a 3 points for us.It’s infuriating to see us beat all giant team and yet getting beaten by all small teams.

Match Preview

A lot of thing have happened for the last three days;three goals,Gallas’ return,and Fabregas’ new task and commitment at Arsenal.Seriously,only Arsenal will let a such a young player to be a captain.But he’s the among the oldest and veterans among the kids anyway.

Ok,let’s get back to topic.I have been busy all these days and I didn’t really know Gunners as much as I did few months ago.But since I will be free for at least a month,I will have more time to update this site.

This match will be a chance for us to prove that we are still one of the Big Fours in BPL.Our form in BPL had been really frustrated every Arsenal fans here.Besides,this will be the first time Fab will wear our captain badge,and we will see whether he could repair our deteriorating form.

A win will at least give us some morale and confidence before we visit Stamford Bridge.

Arsenal 2-1 Manchester United

November 8th, 2008

Arsenal:Nasri 22,48
Manchester United:Da Silva 90

Highlights

Please note that the above clips are not provided by me and credits are given to the clip provider.

I have some comments over the yesterday’s match.

On Gunners’ performance

I guess determination made a lot of difference yesterday.The whole team was playing with their determination.They knew if they lost the game,they would be no longer challenge the title.The critics will sound louder,Wenger will be in sheer trouble.

Although they started rather nervously,the main fact that we were not punished by our opponent.If we were 1-0 down at first,things could be much harder.But with 2-0 cushion,our pressure was significantly reduced,although they were slightly scared of Tottenham repeat when they gave up 2 goals in less than 5 minutes.

Manchester United was less physical yesterday,and that really helped us to show our real skills and hence impress our fans and supporters.

On Samuel Nasri’s goals

His two goals were really fantastic and that could be at least goal of the week.Although he could be lucky at his first goal,but his skill at 2nd goal was undeniably one of the best shot ever shown in Emirates.

Bendtner’s performance

He did play his best,but the fact that he wanted to waste more time rather than securing the 3rd goal for us was really frustrating.He got lots of chances against Devils especially towards the extra time but he seemed to just waste time and has no intention to score his first goal against the defending champion.

Overall,our team really played their best yesterday and they got what they deserved.But I really hope our team could show more consistency and start beating the smaller teams who seems to play physical against us rather than playing the real football like yesterday’s match.It seems that physical playing in EPL is perfectly fine,and we must face the music if we’re not prepared against that.I’m scared if we injured the whole team in January and we will have to buy a team at that time.

Arsenal vs. Manchester United match preview

November 7th, 2008

First,I would like to let you know that my site IS NOT DEAD .

I will resume blogging as usual after 27th November,that means I will start posting for Chelsea-Arsenal match preview at 29th November.

I will update my sidebar,and possibly recolour my my site and getting traffic back to my site.

OK,back to the topic.

The recent statistic had shown Arsenal is in recession,and facing Devils at this time certainly will worry all the fans here and Wenger has to come out with a plan to prevent further embarrassment by Devils,after being bit by Hull Tigers and Stoke City.Injuries crisis and Persie’s 3 match suspension further made our mission tomorrow an very steep,uphill task.

Even after this game,things will certainly be even more tougher and physical when we are going to face A.Villa,M.City,Dynamo Kiev and Chelsea in our next 4 games.

We did not really perform well so far,although we reluctantly admit that our schedule for last 5 to 6 games is the easiest among the other Top Three.Red Devils on the other hand,seems to have easier schedule than us since they played tougher teams before.

Even that,they are just a point above us with a game to spare.

To be frank,I’m not too optimistic about this game.I will be glad if we manage to reduce our loss.The main thing we need to fix now is our injuries crisis,player’s morale and confidence.Of course if we could beat M.United tomorrow then we could gain back our confidence and shut our critics.

But injury problem,physical disadvantage will always haunt us if we keep employing small-sized players.I’m not against small-sized players but we need tough,big guys to stop us being bullied in such a physical EPL games.

Players can easily admit that they want to injure people,play aggressively without being punished by FA.
