Match Preview: Arsenal vs Man City

29th November 2011 admin

In our last game against Fulham, we saw a lot of tired legs and today's game is a real opportunity to rest key players. The likes of RvP, Theo, Ramsey, Arteta, Song, Santos, Mertesacker and Vermaelen would all be rested. A week's rest can do our key players a world of good so it is definitely welcomed! Wenger in his Presser said there will be a mixture of experience and youth. Experience we all know would come in the likes of Arshavin, Benayoun, Park, Chamakh, Gervinho, Koscielny and Djourou while for the youth we would see the likes of Coquelin, Frimpong, Miquel,

The ‘3 Ps’ – Part 3 (Possession)

29th November 2011 hazzaboy21

Maintain control of the ball and you can also ‘pass teams to death’ - keep them chasing until they tire and be ready to capitalise later on in games. This is the attacking element of possession. We’ve seen this quite a lot in recent years with Wenger keen for his teams to be ultra-fit so as to take advantage in the dying moments. Something that often gets overlooked in teams who aim to monopolise possession is the amount of running they do off-the-ball simply to find pockets of space to give their teammates more passing options and thus create a higher chance of

A Week In The Life Of…

28th November 2011 William Benn

But vegetables won’t up the pace, So destined to play out the race, You take deep breaths and just sit tight, To wait for Saturday’s delight, And when it finally comes around, You feel your feet lift off the ground, So high that you can fly, not walk, You recommence the talk, talk, talk, And spread your

Fulham (h) – Lacking Sharpness & Tempo But Not Effort As Points Are Dropped

27th November 2011 admin

You want Arshavin to be in Gervinho's positions but Arshavin doesn't get into Gervinho's positions. Theo Walcott on the other side started slowly but got much better as the first half went on. When he found his stride, he was the most dangerous player on the pitch. Direct, aggressive and purposeful

Fulham (h) Thoughts & Line Up: Yossi Or Arshavin To Replace Gervinho?

26th November 2011 admin

Those games would have taken plenty out of the players, especially Wednesday's game and with so many players currently fresh as daisies and twiddling their thumbs on the bench, I am guessing that a few will be drafted in to freshen things up a little. There is an argument that the players will get a full weeks rest after today and that is very true, a much needed rest at that but that does not cancel

Key Performers In Our Win To Seal Qualification Into The Knock Round + Song's Master class

24th November 2011 Omomo14

The lads are a more united bunch, fighting for one another and digging deep. In the past 3 seasons we have done away with sulkers namely Adebayor, Gallas and Nasri which has done well to help the

Santos Stronger, Second Half Song & Benayoun Cameo

24th November 2011 admin

Andre Santos was fantastic from start to finish, he is looking stronger and sharper. I suspect that will continue as the games keep coming. He is a joy to watch, a player who could probably play in most midfield positions. His little jinks inside his man from a standing start are becoming his trade mark

Borussia Dortmund (h) Thoughts & Line Up: Escape The Dortmund Press And We Can Qualify Tonight

23rd November 2011 admin

The quality of the opposition and the importance of the game will probably see Wenger stick with the team that shot the Canaries from the sky at Carrow road. It could have been worse as many of our players who were involved for their countries during the international matches only played one game

Arteta vs Mata – Why It Made Sense To Get Juan After The Other

22nd November 2011 William Benn

This is why, at the time of Arteta’s signing many fans (myself included) were still looking at Mata and wondering what might have been. Arteta is quality player, but he’s not regarded as the potential world beater that Mata is – evidenced, perhaps, by the inclusion of one and not the other in the national team. Young Juan is a tricky, skilful little game changer you could consider building a team around and though our own Spaniard possesses some of that ability himself, his expertise has really shined through this season when keeping it simple. Also Arteta is a lot older than Mata, with a lot less room

Robin, Cesc & Theo / Rotation / Wenger’s Class

21st November 2011 admin

Gervinho may had a few fingers pointed at him for some bad finishing or final balls but the amount of times I saw him sprinting back into the left back position to cover or to close down was quite amazing. Something has changed from last season and a few prior to be honest. I don't know if this is purely down to personnel or the fact that we have been in such an awful position at the start of the
