Arsenal VS Tottenham Preview (Carling Cup Semifinal 1st Leg)


Arsene Wenger decides to stick with the young site at Carling Cup first leg with Tottenham at Emirate. Theo Walcott available, Lucas Fabianski will play in a goal, Djourou and Senderos at centre back. The good news is Van Persie return from injury and available for the clash. Apart from that it will be players who played at last game FA Cup against Burnley.

Tottenham will chose their best player to against us. Our young player had been tested by experience side from Spurs. The most important is, our midfielder Denilson and Gilberto can do their best role forward ball to Van Persie and Eduardo to create chances in getting score.




Eduardo Must Be First Choice Striker?

Eduardo was done very well with Gunners recently. He was scoring 6 goals in 4 matches. Kolo Toure also praise him performance where help Gunners winning the games. Do you think Eduardo must be first choice striker for Gunners? If you said yes, who is the most practically striker with him? Van Persie, Bendtner or Adebayor? Or maybe you have something else want to share about him. Leave your opinion and share it with another’s.




Discussion: Lehmann - Undecide

What we was found in the most newspapers and blogs in the moment, we always see our 'crazy-man' Lehmann become headline with transfer rumors. German will join EURO 2008 and there will hot position for keeper. Lehmann currently like upset behind Almunia and there have offers for him to leave Emirate. Wenger confirm he want Lehmann stay. Wenger not not close the door for him. What is the best for Lehmann? Leave or stay? What effect to Arsenal if Lehmann decide to move? Share your thought with leave your comment.



Arsenal-Gunners - Read This
Because my English written not good (Owh.. I need hard work to improve it) I try to think do something different in my blog. Here I get the idea where I can thinking the question where all Gunners fans can write something about it.

After this I will not write the long article and my blog just for Gunners fans to see match-event and discussion topic.

Match-Event is section where I'll post the selection event from what I see from tv (never go Emirate yet) and hope the fans can get something from the match event I'm listing out.

Discussion topic is the topic I'm thinking can make our fans can give their opinion among them. Every day I'll post the topic to be discuss except during the match day.

After you read this, I hope you will come back and visit my blog to share your opinion about the discussion topic I was post out.

Thanks.

Match-Event: Burnley 0 - 2 Arsenal


Like what most of we expected, Gunners will win against Burnley in FA cup clash. Arsenal win with 2 - 0 final score. Eduardo open the goal with just 8 minute game started then Bendtner added the score sheet with just 15 minute match remaining. My prediction was wrong where I predict 3 - 0 win over Burnley.

All the player I was predict before is correct, accept Diarra where Gilberto was take the position. Arsenal first-eleven against Burnley:


Match-Event

02' Denilson - shot on goal - block by Burnley player

79' Lehmann save - shot on goal by Burnley
84' Gilberto shot - off target (left)
85' Yellow card to Burnley player
89' Denilson shot - off target
90' Eduardo shot - on target (save)

Diaby not to good (what I see) in the match and just contribute fouls. Lehmann is great save five or six shooting from the opponent. Senderos make a unwanted error (maybe after this Djouru will play). Ermm.. what else! Eboue, most forget about him. He show great performance. Denilson need to learn how to make shot on goal (it okay, he still young). Gilberto just average and Flamini more better than him (sorry Gilberto!).


Picture of the day
Eduardo: I select him because he was awesome performance during the match. One goal, one assist and another three shot (two on goal and one wide).




Burnley VS Arsenal Preview (FA Cup)


FA Cup will see several key player will rested by Wenger. Cesc Fabregas, Almunia, Clichy, all of them will be rested. Another player will be out by reason of injury is Hleb (ankle) , Adebayor (hamstring) and Van Persie (muscular). Flamini also out after suspended and Theo Walcott still doubtful for the clash.

Wenger was decide Denilson, Diaby and Diarra will be play against Burnley also Lehmann will back in goal.

Below the possibility Arsenal squad for FA Cup clash again Burnley:


Traore will be replace Clichy on the left back. I like to put Senderos and Toure at center-back and Gallas will be rested (I hope). Diaby like before try to attack from left side. Diarra and Denilson will play center midfield role.

My prediction is Gunners will win 3 - 0 or more. Go Gunners go...!



Beckham, African Cup and Manchester Utd

No hot news in my blog today. Here are some thing out from my mind for all.

We are in surprise when Mr. Beck was training in Arsenal squad (I hate this guy before). Of course Mr. Beck will gives positive impact to the squad especially with his 'free-kick on the spot' or 'banana-kick'. We believe that squad has a lack of free-kick expert except full-blast Toure and Robbie Van Persie. Toure had join African Cup and Van Persie still lacking of fitness, we hope Mr. Beck can help our players in the squad.

Who will win replace Toure?

African Cup needs more player in two weeks before the tournament begin. We will lose Toure, Eboue, Song during the campaign. Wenger not announce yet who will replace centerback Toure but an expectations was made by fans (from another Gunners fans blog where I was visit) either Senderos or Djourou. Senderos slightly slow this season. Maybe, the chance more to Djourou because he had a place in Birmingham squad during the loan period. Who knows?

What has attract me is Man Utd was announced that they will work harder to face Arsenal get the title. Read Rio Fedinand statement, their ambitious are to win the title.

Rio Statement
"The scenario at the top can change in the course of a week. If we continue winning, it doesn't matter what Arsenal do. We are not looking at anyone else's result. It is down to us. We know if we win games, we will be a successful team." (tribalfootball.com)

We have a history when Man Utd take the title from us at last minute fight and we are quite tempered about it. Man Utd advantages is when they have no impact from African Cup but unlikely Arsenal have to lose several players. However, we still have Arsene Wenger which bring 11 great year for Arsenal.



Gunners Bulletin - January, 04 2008

Van Persie is return to the squad soon
Wenger is expected Van Persie will return to a game against Birmingham. The coming back of Van Persie can gives sharpness to Arsenal striker. Fans are eager to see Van Persie action in the game.

Wenger Said
"Robin van Persie is still injured but it is very short for him now. The next deadline could be Birmingham or just after" (The Daily Mail)

Van Persie return soon.

Lehmann being chosen against Burnley after he refused a transfer to Borussia Dortmund
Wenger has chose Lehmann play for FA Cup game against Burnley this Sunday. Lehmann which is already refused the transfer contract offered by Borussia Dortmund German club recently, because the club had rejected demanding salary by Lehmann. Why he refuses this opportunity when this opportunity can make him German number one goalkeeper at Euro 2008?
Jehn Lehmann reject transfer

Eduardo promises a goals
Eduardo, a great Arsenal player will promise a more goals in coming games. Arsenal's fans are excited and proud because his score lately has giving a big impact to Arsenal. Eduardo deserved compliment after score 5 goals in 3 games before. Well done Eduardo!
Eduardo promise more goals

Wenger was proud of Clichy
Wenger was pleased and satisfied with Clichy. For me, Clichy now is better than Ashley Cole.

Wenger said
"He assisted Adebayor, after the last one against Everton, which means two in two matches".

"Actually, his improvement has been quite steady. Today we can notice he has no more gaps in his play.

"He is awesome in the quality of his passes, in his long passes, in his technical level. He can get out of any situation.

"I would say now he looks experienced. He really achieved a great last match." (tribalfootball.com)
Clichy - Great performance

Arsenal rejected £4m offer for Diarra
Tottenham is said putting a bid about £4m on getting Diarra's Arsenal midfielder player. Juande Ramos was asking to get Diarra to play at White Hart Lane. However, Arsenal has rejected the offer. Maybe after this, Diarra will always complaining?
Diarra - Still complain.

Beckham training with Gunners
David Beckham trained with Arsenal for the first time on Friday as the England midfielder seeks to keep fit for international duty. (Dailymail.co.uk)

From cooperation by Beckham, it will help the youngsters in their training. Beckham is a great and famous player with the sharper passing and this will help a player like Fabregas, Flamini, Denilson learning those technique from him. We hope that Arsenal player will get a valuable experiences from Mr Beck.

Beckham - Using Arsenal training wear.





Gunners Bulletin - January, 03 2008


Gallas Confident Without Toure

African Cup will see Toure missing in action for the Gunners about a month. Gallas certain constant despite Toure will be not in squad and sure Gunners defense not in problem at all. Gallas also urge teammate to show their inner strength.

Unhappy Gunners Want To Leave
Gunners at the top, have a chance to win three different cup but it still not enough to make Diarra, Diaby get happy. Their was upset when not regularly choose by Wenger for the first team.

Wenger Said
"We have a good atmosphere in the squad although some players want to leave. Am I surprised? Yes and no. It is true we are top of the league and I cannot understand why they want to leave.

But if they are not playing too many games it is not easy. When you are in a big club it is like that and you have to be patient because the season is very long and you could end up playing in the last 15 games. If one does go, maybe we will have to buy another player but everything is okay."


Wenger Advise Theo Walcott Goal Obsession
Knowing Walcott was in his difficulty in order to make a score for this season, Wenger advises Walcott to make things easy so that it will not stress him to much thinking about his goal's statistic. If he is highlight it so much, probably can ruined his game.

Wenger said
"He does need a goal but Eduardo was in the same situation and Cesc Fabregas was a long time in the same situation," Wenger said.

"It will come when it is not an obsession. It will come the day maybe he doesn't think it will come. He will score."




Gunners Star Make Big Club Impress

Realize or not, our player was impress another Europe big club. Below the list our player where I found was chasing by another Europe biggest club. If you have another, please inform me by leave your comment.

Mathieu Flamini
Juventus was make their step to get Flamini pre-contract talk because him will be out of contract end of the season. I believe Arsenal still continue Flamini current contract. Sure for it.

Cesc Fabregas

Cesc was link to Real Madrid around 50 million. But Barcelona insist the Spaniard will not move to Real Madrid. The Cesc former club Barca also list Cesc in their top shopping list after see the quality was showing. This is about the big money coming in. Cesc may leaving?

Alexander Hleb
Beside Cesc, Barca also want to snatch up Hleb from the Arsenal. Barca try to get Arsenal duo for improve their current squad where seeing not to good for now. Sure Wenger will make him to stay.

Theo Walcott And Denilson

AC Milan was announce their interest to Arsenal youngster Walcott and Denilson where AC Milan chief want to bring world best young player for next season and Walcott and Denilson is top in their shopping list. Hot prospect and big chances to stay.






January Transfer Rumors

Below list of Gunners would be bring in this January transfer rumors I was found.

Dani Parejo.
16 years old - about 10 million.
The midfielder is regarded as the best
young talent to come through Real Madrid

Arsenal 2 - 0 Wes Ham (Eduardo Superb Strike)



Eduardo 2' 1 - 0
Adebayor 18' 2 - 0




Happy New Year to all Gunners fans around the world. First day on 2008 Arsenal was win 2 - 0 again Wes Ham United and that new year present from Arsenal for their loyal fans.

Once again we see Eduardo make superb goal in penalty area after Fabregas chipping the ball into the penalty area. Give Arsenal 1 - 0 in front.

Wes Ham shocked by early goal by Gunners and make their shape slowly until Anton Ferdinand who score last weekend again Manchester United saw him great effort clear off in the line by Clichy.

After 18' minute, Gunners score 2 - 0 after terrible mistake by Anton Ferdinand, Upson and over rushing Green was give Adebayor chance to score.Clichy was the setup for Adebayor.

Second half seem Gunners control the game and 27' minute game remaining, Walcott was replace Eduardo and seem the speedy youngster make a shot on goal but lack of power.

After end of the games, Green was name MOM after save 6 shot from the Gunners. Good game and run from the Gunners for a new year.


Picture of the day

Hard to select which player the best during the game. I was select Clichy because he was save the Ferdinand strike off the line and make assist for the 2nd goal.

Happy New Year - We on top




Happy New Year - We on top

Great run by Gunners so far. We was slip to second place for the moment after we losing point at Fratton Park where see goalless draw. We disappointed with the result but MU shocking lost to Wes Ham 2 - 1 and our win over Everton make us back on top. Thanks to Eduardo where get credit after the match with brilliant word class score. Stay calm and make Howard no chance. 2 goal from him make Gunners squad get back their form.

Ferguson admit Gunners have massive chance to win the title this season. But there still lot of game to go. Gunners need stay focus and make improvement in the game after we just see the Gunners almost lost a point. Somebody believe we cannot take a title if just play a beautiful game that is what was Alan Shearer said. And also have complaint we turn the the beautiful game into ugly game. What ever they want to say about, Gunners was prove their young talent well-to-do win anything in the competition.

Wish happy new year to all of you where visit my blog and thanks.

Wenger Confident With Current Squad




Wenger Confident With Current Squad

January transfer will be open shortly. Wenger admit he will not involve during the transfer period because him confident with the current squad.
Wenger said
'It is a small injury - but if you want to win a horse race you need your horse to be 100%. He will be like a new signing - that is why we do not buy.'
ESPNsoccernet.com
Wenger also hoping Van Persie will be fit from muscular problem and admit the fitness of Van Persie like signing a new one player. That is the way of Wenger manage the squad and the statement will give players in the current squad breath easy and have a chance to prove their ability.

African cup also go on this January and Arsenal will be lost Toure, Eboue, Song. All this player make important role in the squad especially Toure. Toure boots will be replace by Sanderos. Djouru will also an option after him comeback this Jan after being loan to Birmingham. With Sanderos and Djouru, Wenger solve the defensive problem during the African Cup.

Eboue also has important role in the squad if Wenger using 4-5-1 like before. But Wenger have Walcott to play that role and it love to see the speedy Theo will have more chances to play.

That all

Everton 1 - 4 Arsenal (Gunners Back On Top)



Everton 1 - 4 Arsenal
(Everton - Cahill 20')
(Arsenal - Eduardo 47', 58', Adebayor 78', Rosicky 90+')


Fabulous game right. We was scare at first half where goal from Cahill make Wenger far head wrinkle and also with mine. Haha.. Of course we have reason why our far head was wrinkle because Cahill make a goal after scramble in front Arsenal goal. Then our game sharpness is like gone and our young star trouble to make a shooting for a goal. But that is on first half.

Early kick off we was happy because MU was defeat by Wes Ham and this result help us to make our young to perform well during the match. Congratulation to Alan Curbishly because he was make a good result again MU (at home) since he was take over Wes Ham Utd.

Now we have seen 4-4-2 was using by our magic Wenger during the game and for the moment it like nothing happen but it work after the second half. Maybe the tactic and for me 2 Eduardo goal was change everything. Spirit for the team and make them doing well with the 4-4-2 tactic. Haha..

We got a big win over Everton but I want to say something about the performance during the game. Gallas make mistake like bad back pass, poor clearance. Bendtner before the game he was show a quality but in that game he was lost, bad ball control and the big mistake tackling Andy Johnson where see him give a red card by referee. Damn, and thanks we still in the form. We need to defend 2 -1 well for the moment before Adebayor goal. Diaby also not to good but asking for first team. Huh! I don't like him voice out want to transfer just because don't get first choice by Wenger. Diaby need show him quality and make Flamini for good example. Patient and just look now, Flamini is a good player and important for the team.

I still like Flamini because him always doing well in the game. "Arsenal Gattuso" i was call him and always show him enthusiasm during the game. Diving from Everton player was ignore by referee and should be yellow card for that (Arteta and Neville). And Arteta and Neville need to thanks to referee that night. I was delight early in the game where fan singing Almunia name at Goodison Park. Haha... Almunia like have a good moment at the Gunners squad.

The game also see 4 yellow card and 2 red was giving by referee. Fabregas, Eduardo, Clichy and Flamini get yellow and Bendtner and Arteta was get red. Second half also show us the crawl at Goodison Park. The crawl happen when Fabregas smack on the face by Arteta but Tim Cahill was make Toure angry by mocking the Fabregas. Fuh... What a game huh. Haha..

Picture of the day

I was choose him because the 2 goal from Eduardo was help Gunners get back the game. Eduardo was superb which see him score 2 goal to make Gunners back on track. I love the goal exspecially the second one.. Cool and awesome! Go Eduardo...

That All

Everton VS Arsenal (Prematch Preview)


Everton Vs Arsenal
Sunday, 30 Dec 2007
1.15 AM


Hai and hey...
Welcome again to my blog.. If you are new to this blog, don't forget to come back...
I try to make this blog help Arsenal fan out there have little information about the Gunners news and for sure will tell everybody about the Gunners before and after the match. If I have lot a time to search entire Internet about anything like transfer or injury in the team, I'll post it too. This holiday season have lot a match where EPL have 3 game in row after x-mas. Great because we enjoy watching the game in front our own stadium at home or Mamak restaurant.

Okay.. Let we start and forget my introduce to take your attention. Haha...

We have tough game again Everton. Huh, sound like we can lose our point again and maybe MU will laugh at us.. Like the usually they did when Arsenal was at the top, they will be overtake the position from us. Don't worry, they also have a tough game again Wes Ham tomorrow. I hope!! Haha...

After several match before, we all know Arsenal like lost their momentum on field. Anyway, we still keep make a good time and just 1 point behind leader MU. For game again Everton we need the momentum back for remain the title challengers again MU.

I agree we got hard game tomorrow, but I'm more positive about the hard game. Maybe in my mind we get all 3 point again a hard game (Chelsea and Spurs) and we lost point with the easy one (Boro, Pompey, Newcastle). I'm going to win or lose for the game result tomorrow. No draw and of course I want the Gunners took all the point (hope we did it). I'll wrong if the game will end with draw. And the most important we did not lost again Everton tomorrow. Haha...

The Tactic
Ermmm... Hard to talk it but I'm sure Wenger will still use 4-5-1 like before and put Adebayor on the top striker. But I hope Wenger will use 4-4-2 to make more spark in the attack where I see it work after we send Bendtner into the field.

The Squad
Now we heard unhappy young star in the squad. Of course it will be effect the team. Diara and Diaby make them voice to Wenger when they not include in Wenger first eleven. Captain Gallas fit for the match where Van Persie still not include in the squad.

The Opponent Squad
The Everton have a good squad under David Moyes this season. For me, Everton have a good midfield as long as good attacking midfielder. Arsenal need to control the midfield area to make them never create a chances to score. They have strong defensive midfielder Gravensen and Lee Carsley. Good freekick Arteta and hardworking midfielder Phil Neville and of course score minded midfielder Tim Cahill. Attacking they have Andy Johnson, fail to score but still give the dangerous to opponent and Victor Anichebe, the young striker was show him quality. Defensive area they have Lescott, Yobo, Jagielka, Nuno Valente and Alan Stubb. Experience defender where make us hard go through them.


Man to Watch


I select Cahill man to watch in this game. Just see what him was done in previous match (Bolton and MU). He was score and him able to make our defend in disorder. Watch him out.

Arsenal squad probably:

Almunia, Sagna, Toure, Gallas, Clichy, Hleb, Fabregas, Flamini, Rosicky, Eboue, Adebayor.

Substitution:
Lehman, Sanderos, Diaby, Diarra, Bendtner.

That All
