Part 1 : Job done
Part 2 : 22 battered and broken bodies on the pitch please
Well, Grant actually made decent substitution for a change... other then Balletti as I cant remember him touching the ball.. Anelka certainly managed to help stir things up.
Credit to Chelsea for stepping up the gear, shame they played like old school wimbledon half the match... but with the strength of Drogba I guess you cant blame them.
Is this the end of Arsenal's challenge? Could be interesting but a result against United for them and a draw between chelsea and united will certainly close things up again. Definately gonna be a great run in but this was definately a good day of Fergi's men.
loved the commentry from the manu/liverpool match as well, cant beleive that guy has stayed in the job so long
I have just read on another forum going on about Arsenal kids bottling it when we lose two goals one was offside. I do not think we are playing badly at the moment its just stuffs not going our way. Next 5 games decide our season Bolton , Liverpool x3, Man U unless we win at OT i think we are out of it.
Don't think you bottled it, think the problem is since you lost Eduardo you are now reliant on Adebayor a bit much to create something. Eduardo add that little something more, and also was happy to strike it from outside the box. Cant remember how many times today Hleb decided to pass instead of having a shot from 20yrds. Often led to losing the ball.
Another problem which has now crept back into the Arsenal game is playing narrow. You were at your strongest when you had people out wide putting the crosses in to Adebayor however recently that seemed to dissappear and everyone wants to come inside.
A win at OT is a must for Arsenal, however I think the 3 Liverpool games in a week are going to make or break your season. If you get the result in the champions league first leg then I reckon you win the league game as Benetiz will rest alot of players that weekend for the second leg. Even if you take a draw he will rest a number of players. You cant afford to lose it though really. As much as I enjoyed Arsenal competing in the league I think it may be a step to much as I cant see both Man Utd and Chelsea failing from this point. If one does the other wont.
Bendtner to save Arsenal?
