The problem I think was that Cazorla didn't want to go to Spanish giants because he wanted to play. He also didn't want to be owed money. Last no other clubs from outside Spain offered more money.
What an amazing draw for Arsenal and Man. United.
Arsenal need a CDM and I hope Diaby is back in February. Another striker may be needed as well since we don't know how the Walcott situation will end. Injuries may play a role too......Oddly enough I don't feel that nervous as I thought I would. I was fearing Dortmund more than even Barca this time.
Man. United IMO has a equally or even tougher match. They need to do something about that defense and maybe reinforce the ...
Good news after a run of bad ones is great.
Well, the biggest problems are that 1 Man. United has to have a run of at least 3 bad results, Man. City, Chelsea and Tottenham too. Second Arsenal has to have a good run of at least 4 games earning full points, to be anywhere near close to the top.....At the moment Man. United don't seem to be in any danger of a bad streak. Man. City maybe. Chelsea are in one and Tottenham who knows. The second problem is IMO far harder to happen. Arsenal can't seem to take flight consistently so it ...
Liverpool looks like its about to start flying and then this happens every time. I really can't see Rodgers staying as manager at the beginning of next season unless this situation improves.
In Gervinho's defense I would say he plays better on the left wing he can dribble and then cross low. However, Podolski plays better there, than him so as a sub he should be fine there. Through the middle or on the right that's when he seriously can't do a thing because he has problems dribbling, passing and shooting on his weaker foot.
Ramsey tends to play better as a box to box player when Arsenal try to play through the middle and not the wings. playing more with the...
I always get the feeling that Italy is the only top league that buys players that are no longer in their prime years wise. Maybe the kind of football they play suits players that may no longer have the legs to play along side younger legs.
What the hell was he thinking?...........However, somehow deep inside me I feel that Shawcross may have deserved it and I don't know why.
Lol I loved the way Jack and the reporter put Theo on the spotlight towards the end of the interview. Today he got to play in the middle so maybe Wenger will listen to his demand of playing there. Maybe I'll get a good surprise and he re-signs. However, I still think is about money and if that's the case in the end Arsenal will sell. I've read that some teams are even willing to offer up to 15mil for him. That could get Arsenal another striker like Ba or Huntelar and a much needed...
Chelsea better sign Falcao in January as IMO they are favorites. Also Torres has to be shown that he is not sure starter. Otherwise, I can see Man. City beating them to the punch in the summer just for a laugh.
Either Outcome may disrupt the market prices even further, as teams like my Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs fight to just manage to sign some quality(best players from mid-table teams) for very expensive prices (for their Budgets that is).
Lol at people even Arsenal fans that want Wenger out. If only they would at least name one manager that could potentially run Arsenal better than Wenger with the tight budget he has.
Reading was the best team to play against after the midweek disaster. Sati Clause was class today. Now Lets catch the Spurs before January to end the year on a high note.
The race for La Liga Title is over it seems.
To be honest The one thing that should bother them is that defense. One thing they could do to work around it, is to play possession football and keeping the ball away from their own defense most of the time.
No matter the result, this break was something Chelsea needed from the EPL. Of course a new striker is still a necessity.
Today before the game, I thought I was going to see a change in form from Arsenal. I was ready to see how some of the young guns and subs were doing and then I saw the starting line up. I thought that something like this result would happen, because our starters would get too cocky to play properly, not to mention that they haven't been playing like that in a while. Now the little confidence that they had has been crushed with shame more than anything. The only positive I can get out of t...
Now Man City will go and buy another set of superstars in January, messing up the market even further.
If he leaves for Liverpool he will still be in a similar situation to what he's in now. He will probably play as a winger and not in the middle too. At least he could play for his childhood team, that could be a plus. Liverpool though IMO need a goal scoring striker to free up Suarez. I would take Sterling though as a replacement for Walcott. I've read somewhere that he hasn't committed to a new contract yet. However, if this is because he wants an obscene amount of money, never m...
I don't think is convenient at the moment if Walcott leaves for either party. If he leaves, then Arsenal lose the most game changing player they have at the moment, at least until the midfielders get going again. If Walcott wants to leave, I don't think many big teams are really interested in him. Man. United are obviously covered on attack, so I doubt he wants to go there. Man. City will take him only for a laugh and then to warm the bench if he's lucky. Chelsea could be an optio...
The Arsenal can grind results now.....who knew?
Anyways today is a good results considering Wigan made it hard. The Ox IMO was the man of the match......Beausejour had a match to forget on both defending and attacking today.
Also what the hell was going on with the ref when he made Di Santo get out of the pitch? I thought he gave him a red at first, but nothing was given. The ref just made him stay out for a while.
