Arsenal Shaken Down By Fulham
You can’t just expect to see every match played by the strong teams is a victory. Arsenal’s the ideal example for this statement…you all know, they always concede and chase back like a mad cow to win the game. Frankly, I am kinda annoyed with this problem which has been haunting the gunners for such a long time. I wonder if they know, no matter how strong is a team they will still be an underdog if they concede earlier.
Okay…okay, I’m sorry if I make you fury. Back to the score sheet, Arsenal couldn’t bomb Fulham into pieces. The gunners even lost the sure-win war against Fulham. Don’t you think it’s a huge disgrace for them? Hangeland freaked Arsenal out in the 1st half whereby mentally, Arsenal is WEAK in this…
Well, perhaps the reason they lost is the injury problem. Yes, ya read that right…Cesc Fabregas was injured, Rosicky as well…their midfield used to rule the premiership with great young players…but the Arsenal today is no more the gunner it used to be…
Gilberto is out, Hleb is also sold out to Barcelona! That was shocking, to me…even though they own Nasri now, he is still young and lack of big game experience…or can I say calmness? Eboue is not a bad product, but he is not stable enough…talk about the attacking line, Eduardo’s out, Adebayor and Van Persie couldn’t get enough ball force from the midfield…I’m afraid they have to work themselves as midfield too?
Arsenal has an unstable defence line…William Gallas who was excellent in Chelsea last time often makes mistakes now, setting up goals to opponents, sad case huh? Former bench warmer of Red Devils, Mikael Silvestre is considered as old now…as the gunners always sell the late 20s off to others…So why did Wenger bought him? To solve the inexperience defence line?…guess it!
But all in all, the gunners’ playing style is still amazing and as smooth as water flow…they might not be a leader in football sector now, but soon or later, when maturity reaches to them…cups also follow them.
