I wonder what Arsene is thinking about in terms of personnel against Tottenham tomorrow evening
Good Affanoon,
I still have the good feeling about our weekend victory against Fulham, many plus points to think about although Fulham were really really bad, it is a shame that we haven’t got them at home again.
Arsene spoke about our ‘wingers’ after a good dual performance against Fulham.
Arsene Said: For us it is important that we can score goals not only through our quick passing in the middle, but also from balls to the flanks, put in quality crosses and get people into the box from midfield. That is what we did at Fulham.
“Rosicky is more of a Pires-type and Hleb is more for me a guy who attracts people to the ball, and then slides it through. So he looks like he always slows the game down [only] to speed it up again. He is more of a dribbler and a passer, whereas Tomas is more of the guy who is in the flow of the game, a little bit similar to Pires.”
I have spoken enough about Hleb in yesterdays post but it was great to see Rosicky show his class against Fulham. We all know that he has alot of quality, it has been a shame that injuries have contributed to a stop start Arsenal career. Lets hope it is start and onwards for Tomas.
New AV writer James McKean has written a piece on Rosicky which I will put online this afternoon, interesting points.
I wonder what Arsene is thinking about in terms of personnel against Tottenham tomorrow evening. As much as I do not want to lose to Spurs I really do not want to get anymore injuries that could affect our title bid so I would brave it and play second choice players apart from perhaps Senderos.
Arsene has indicated that he may have to use some first team players due to lack of numbers.
“The players who were on the bench at Fulham will play,” he said. “But I will have to play one or two who played on Saturday because we are short in numbers.”
One reporter asked if William Gallas would be one of that duo.
“I will see,” replied the Arsenal manager. “Come to the game on Tuesday!”
I would rather risk Senderos than risk Gallas and partner the Swiss with Gilberto, but having said that we do not have another holding midfielder thanks to Diarra’s departure.
We could possibly see something along the lines of..
Hoyte Senderos Gallas Traore
Walcott/Randall Gilberto Denilson Diaby
Bendtner Eduardo/Walcott
