Lukas Podolski had scored in three games in a row against Liverpool. Southampton and Montpelier. Since then he has had two quiet games against Manchester City and now Chelsea. Difficult games granted but I do get the sense that we are not getting the very best out of him. It almost feels as if we are playing two left backs on the left hand side. Podolski gives everything he has for the team
Arsenal team, It may seem a little early to judge but it looks as if we have a squad of experienced players who are good enough to stand toe to toe against the leagues best. London Colny feels a little like a tube journey from Oxford Circus to Finsbury park in the middle of rush hour such is the abundance of players we have actually on the pitch rather than being shared by our treatment facilities.
Arsenal but with Oliver Giroud pushing to start and grab his first goals for Arsenal, Theo's path may well be blocked once more. That needn't be the case if Arsene continues last season's league cup formula and switches to a 4-4-2. Last season Park partnered Chamakh in attack, a duo of Walcott
Arsenal team moved the ball around as quickly and slickly as we did. Ramsey drifting in from wide gave us the advantage in midfield and Mancini's men were chasing us for long periods. If it was the first time I'd ever watched football without knowing any of the history then I would have assumed that
Arsenal sides may have felt a little sorry for themselves and struggled to impose their game on a team with their tails up but this Arsenal side full of players such as Arteta, Podolski, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Giroud and Cazorla are all experienced fighters who will play with their heads held up. We
It took me back down memory lane, I remember being frustrated at our manager for dropping an aging but quality Davor Suker who had scored roughly a goal in every 2.5 games for his new club but instead moving a left winger into center forward, a left winger who didn't exactly look like a goalscorer. I didn't follow the rest of that guy's career so I'm not quite sure how that move turned out for him.
Arsenal one of the most feared footballing institutions in the world, and certainly the most feared in the English Premier League. That I am still kinda stuck in that time alone says I am missing something- & it ain’t just trophies!! You see, back in the days when Arsenal run the Premier League (may those days return tenfold), there were individuals who made sure that the status quo was well
However, over the next few seasons Arsenal will become a lot more competitive in a commercial sense and with that, Arsene will have greater freedom to implement his plans whether that be through investment directly into the first team or adding to the talented crop of youth, or indeed .
The strongest part of our team was clearly the midfield area. Not only Abou Diaby but Mikel Arteta was amazing as the deepest midfielder. While we lose Alex Song's physical presence, we gain Arteta's distribution. He plays the game so simply but so effectively. He is always an option when we have the ball but for me, his winning of the ball was top class. I have read the view that he is wasted as the deepest player, I completely disagree and believe his game is perfect for that role. Barcelona and Spain have proved that you do not
He may be stubborn, he may have the complete courage of his convictions and he may have put way too much trust in players who subsequently turned out to be c#nts, but there is no better manager at finding talent and playing football in a breath taking fashion......it is sad that we may not have the finances or a manager who is comfortable paying huge sums for household names, but if you truly are a Arsenal supporter, then you should demonstrate that support, stop the poison and TRUST
