Fulham 1-0 Arsenal :Match report

2008-08-24T03:32:00.000-07:00

Fulham:Hangeland 21
Arsenal:-

It was a big frustration for us to get beaten in just 2nd match in EPL.

Since the beginning of the match,our squad is disorganised and we seems to lose our direction.The worse is Gallas did not react quickly enough to clear the ball,and that cost us the game.

Fulham had a great counter-attack as well as defence,but I think if we could play better,or play our usual play that will be good enough to get at least,a goal.

Again,I think we need a bigger squad for this season.It's just a week after the season started and we're seem to have injury problem.

Match Preview

First,our injury list only consist of five players,Fabregas,Diaby,Rosicky,Eduardo and Senderos.These five players is among our top arsenal.However,I hope the remaining squad can do good enough to gain three points at Craven Cottage.

I really want a bigger score margin from our side.1-0 win is really not enough to show out out power to other teams.Yes,1-0 win is good enough for 3 points but in terms of psychology 1-0 shows that we are not among the title contenders.Especially with strength with all the EPL teams nowadays,we need to show that we are still one of the Top Four.

I really want to see how our team performed in away games as well.We drew quite a lot of away matches actually and this cost us the title.If we managed to draw less 2 or three matches and won these games,the title could be ours.

Let's see how Gunners performed in away matches.

I'm quite disappointed with the result,although they gained the three points.I thought that Arsenal can gain three goal differences as well.

I did not watch the game actually.So I can't comment a lot on this game.If the game is played at Sunday 4 p.m (London Time) I will usually have a better chance to watch them.I can only watch all the games after this November,after all my things are finished.

Match Preview (Season Preview)

First,I would like to say sorry.I didn't post anything during the season break and I did not post any summer deals at Arsenal.We welcome Samuel Nasri and Carlos Vela as our new arsenal for this season,when the games will be more unpredictable with lots of players,especially the foreign ones to England.

Manchester United had not signed any good players so far,but I think they'll be glad with the fact that C.Ronaldo will stay with Devils for this season.Chelsea on the other hand,get the help of Philips Scolari,a great national coach,and with presence of Deco Chelsea's squad has the highest PROBABILITY to excel this season.

Talking about injuries,Manchester United's seems to have serious injury problem even though the season has not begin yet.Our team too seems to have some player's injury.Rosicky and Eduardo is injured since last season and they're yet to recover.Carlos Vela and Toure are injured too but they will feature tomorrow.

Our squad is still not big enough,and I still think THEY ARE PRONE TO INJURIES.I can be assured that our kids can produce a good challenge even to whole galaticos in Europe,but I don't they can do that with hamstring injury,thigh injury,injuries and injuries.

Our defending players have not changed much.Can any 4 or 5 of the 9 defenders in the first squad do good enough to play at least 3610 minutes in EPL(with 5 minutes extra time)?I don't think so.

Fabianski looks promising to be our reliable backup goalkeeper,but with his performance alone can't make our defence fool-proof if our defenders aren't strong enough.

Returning to tomorrow's game,I think we're able to get the important psychological three points at Emirates.If we can't,we will have trouble even at the beginning of the season.If we want to show that Arsenal are Top Four in EPL,we should have at least 3-0 victory.

But I'm glad that the configuration went quite OK,and the best is I can see Gunners get three points again.

It's very long time since I saw Arsenal win games.But too bad,I can't watch this game.In fact,I can't watch Arsenal game if the game is between 12 - 2 p.m(London time).

Players

Rosicky,Flamini,Sagna and Almunia still injured and will not feature in this game

Overall

I think we need to review what mistakes we have made so far that made us worse than our nearest rivals Tottenham this season.To me I think is size of our squad.

Wenger has said that he's confident with his current squad.Source:Wenger target two 'real' quality players

But what I want him to do is to make our squad bigger,and not ditching our current squad and bring another one.

And we need quality as well as FIT players.We don't want someone that scores every game he played and yet injured for lots of time throughout our season.Yes,injuries that experienced by Eduardo was unavoidable,but I'm irritated by the fact that Rosicky is injured for a long time,for such a normal injuries for football players.

We have the quality to win the title and all silverware available,but we need to show our CONSISTENCY to win silverwares.

I didn't expect our season could end with nothing for this time.We looked promising at the start,but we seems to lose our breath towards the end of the season.

Talking about the game,we put a great effort to win the game but the game just not going our way yesterday.Conceded through penalties and free-kicks are always frustrating.

ANd this shows that we need a BIGGER squad for next season,so we could rotate our players to prevent some players from being exhausted.

Players

Flamini is confirmed out for three weeks,or the whole season to be exact.

There is no return from our injured players.

Technical Details

This could be my last time writing about technical details in match previews,since I think I'm not qualified yet to write the technical side of football.

Anyway,I do think we should strive to attack at all cost,since their main defender Vidic is currently injured and their 2-2 setback against Middlesbrough shows that they could crack too.They are not invincible.

Again,I think Walcott is still better as a substitute,rather than starting him from the start of the game.

Sometimes we need too to control our defender from going too forward into the attack.Let these jobs to our midfielder and strikers.

For now we have three striking force,and we need to use them all together in this game.So,I think 4-3-3 is feasible for this game.

Overall

I really hope that we will have bigger squad next season.Fabregas has been stretched to the limit for now,and yet he has to play for this game.Ferguson on the other hand,has numbers of attacking options.

I don't agree with Wenger's statement that we should buy only one experienced player this summer.Read here

We should buy lots of FIT players,rather than buying physically challenged and easily injured players.We should buy more players like Sagna,Adebayor who could not be injured easily unlike our Rosicky,van Persie who injured for longer time then they play this season.

Finally,it's do or die in this game.

Match Preview

I'm going to make it simple today,because I'm not quite free now and actually I feel sad because I can't watch this game,the game what will define our season as well as Reds'.

Both teams have the quite same ability I must said,but for this time our mental fitness will be the factor today.

We could be split for force as we need to prepare for the game against Manchester United this Sunday,and that could define our season as well.Liverpool on the other hand,could put their 101% on this game.Perhaps it could be a slight advantage for them,but it's quite risky for them.

Wenger said that we have enough resources to win,but I'm not agree with his statement.I think we must have more than enough resources to win the title.Boro has really made the EPL title fight much more interesting with their fantastic game against the Devils.

We need too to rotate our players so that some players like Adebayor could have some rests.Imagine him playing 4 times against the Big Four teams.

Liverpool of course will have home advantage against us,and they could play our their best against us.We on the other hand,somehow can't show our 'Real' Arsenal to them.With injuries and tiredness,it's hard to play against them but we have the quality to beat Liverpool,but the main question is can we SHOW THEM OUR QUALITY?

Match Report

I'm sorry to say that I didn't watch the game because I was busy at that time.

After seeing the result,I think our title hope is over already.We better concentrated on Champions League.

I expect Arsenal to win because Liverpool fielded a weakened team against us today.Benitez is probably starting to think about the 'next game'.

Another strange fact is Bendtner caused Gunners to draw twice against Liverpool,which you could think is bad or good for us.I have no comments regarding this.

Watching Liverpool's first goal against us,I think it was a simple goal yet we couldn't do anything about it.We need to defend better.

But the good news was Bendtner's equaliser could boost up his confidence,after being blamed for his "save" from Gunners' second goal.

1.The Selection Wenger has yet to make

Match Preview

Players

Persie is currently injured after he injured his thigh during Wednesday's game against Liverpool

Adebayor too is slightly injured at the same time but this time he injured his ankle.But his appearance in this game has yet to be determined.But even he could play,he would be not likely to play for full 90 minutes

Technical Details

AGAIN,we need to be more creative

I'm always thinking why we drop points in EPL recently,while Devils gobble up points and goals on their opponent's expense;and that's why we just can't score against Reds last Wednesday.

First,we lacked the creativity.Yes,we played slightly better games against Reds last time.But it seems that we need lots of energy wasted to just score a goal.Devils on the other hand,played much more easily to score.

Slick passing is Arsenal's trademark since Wenger era.And it's Wenger who make Arsenal look so exciting to watch.But I think some addition to slick passing will be even better,it could produce better results and most importantly,a more beautiful football.

Sorry to say,I rarely see Ferdinand or Vidic bring the ball until their opponent's penalty box.While it's good to see our defenders bring to penalty box,it leave Almunia alone when we encounter any counter-attacks from our opponents.That's why we are frustrated when we took a hard time to score a goal,they just equalise very easily.

And same goes to Liverpool as well.While Reds take a hard time to score,their opponent equalise easily.

We need to have more players in our squad

Somehow I think our squad is too thin.When some of our players are injured,we seems short of options.And it happens now.I'm more concerned about our defenders.I can't imagine who could replace Gallas and Toure,if they happened to be injured at a same time.

When I mean more players,it does not mean that we should go for a spending binge.We just need players that can qualify to replace our defenders while they are away.

Match Report

First-Half

As expected,the game started quite furiously.Why not?It's a typical EPL game and that's what we expect from a EPL game.

We dominated the game,but Liverpool made a good progress by counter-attacking and careful defence.

Adebayor scored first for Arsenal with his header,and credits should be given to him because he really tried to get the ball.

But 3 minutes later,Reds equalised when Gerrard's cross managed to cross Arsenal's goal,and Kuyt just easily got the ball into the net.

We continued to get the possession but it resulted nothing in first-half.

Second-Half

We stepped up the tempo,but we were somehow unlucky and we weren't sharp enough.Liverpool,is satisfied with current score and defended more in the game.

Hleb's penalty appeal failed although it was a clear foul on him.

Overall

We weren't sharp enough in out attack.Control on the game means nothing if we don't score.Will post more later because I'm tired now.

Players

Bacary Sagna will be out for this game.Other than Sagna,all other players that played against Bolton last weekend will be available.

Technical Details

In this stage,the most important thing is to have a strong mentality.Playing against Big Four in 10 days is no easy thing.I think this is the first time Wenger,or even Arsenal encountered such fixtures.

Ok,back to topic.We need to play more aggressively.We're playing at home so it would be mostly we control the possession and Liverpool playing for a good counter-attack since they have a lot of great shooter.Torres is more on short-range shooter so he would be useful for the case when Liverpool dominate the game.

We need to have a real goal scorer.When this person gets the ball,he must score.There are sometimes when we tend to overpass.It's very weird to have our defender to score.I still remembered in our 3-0 win against Liverpool long time ago,it was our defenders who scored all the three goals.Then what should our strikers do?Defend?

Overall

We need to kept focussed for at least 360 minutes,and even 390 minutes if needed.We need to beat the invincible Devils at Old Trafford,to have any chances for the title.

I don't think we could stretch our stamina that far but at least,give a good fight in these fights.

We need to win this game at least to have any chance to step into semi-final stage.

Match Report

First-Half

We started the game very well.But it's home team to score first when Taylor headed handsomely for 1 goal lead for the home team.

Arsenal still kept the possession but it was somehow not good enough for us to equalise.We had some attacks but it was all off target.

Instead,Bolton got even better with 1 man advantage and a 2nd goal for them at 44th minute,when Taylor's shot was deflected by Gallas and Almunia could not expect it to happen.

Second-Half

AS everyone expected Gunners to attack for all cost,it was all wrong for the first 10 minutes in 2nd half.Bolton had the free-kicks,corners and all sorts of advantages they did not have at 1st half.But fortunately they did not score their 3rd goal.

Walcott and Adebayor's presence made the difference.Minutes after their presence in the game.Arsenal got their 1st goal when Gallas took advantage of our opponent's carelessness to defend at left-side of the goal.He just easily slanted the ball into the net.

5 minutes later,Arsenal managed to equalise with a penalty kick.Hleb was taken down in penalty box,and therefore entitle to a penalty kick.Persie,although is said to be 'rusty',he's still good enough to score a penalty kick.

After that,the game was totally open.It was anyone's game.Attacks were going at both sides.

But it was Gunners who got the 3rd goal at 90th minute.No Bolton players was able to clear Fabregas soft shot in the net.It marked an end to Gunners' frustration last 5 EPL games.

Match Preview

Players

Sagna is injured for three weeks after he injured his ankle during last week's game against Chelsea.

No players return from injury,and all other players except Sagna will be able to feature like usual for this game.Adebayor could be rested as Wenger quoted that he needs a breather.

Technical Details

Same style,different result

I still can't find a reason why we drop points against Wigan and Aston Villa.We played a style that could be deadly even for a team like Manchester United,but yet we only scored at last minute of the game.

The problem now,is our players are somehow,physically challenged.Most of our defenders are short and thin,which is a disadvantage when we handles big-sized players such as Harewood etc.

In EPL,we need to play more aggressively,especially in this game when our opponents would be very physical to us.We should be more dynamic,and try our best to produce more counter-attack.But if we are behind,playing counter-attack seems stupid for us.

Our strikers are slow,because they sometimes need to pass the ball to wingers first before the wingers crosses the ball to them.And our attack is not smooth enough,for example our players will suddenly stop just before penalty box,and wait for strikers,or midfielder to take their ball.The problem is all defender will be back to defend against us,and I don't think this is a good counter-attack.

Somewhat I think Adebayor is too thin and I think he's more suitable for a header cross.Persie on the other hand will be better for ground cross.

Overall

We can only dream for the title,and it depends on M.United and Chelsea to realise our dreams.Even Wenger does not dream for the title anymore,and prefer to strengthen his team.Perhaps we can plan for the next season.

Chelsea 2-1 Arsenal

Match highlight video

Match Report

The tension always there when the Big Four clash,and this game is no different.

Ballack fired a dangerous free-kick at 5th minute,but Almunia did a great save to deny home team a lead.

10 minutes later,it's our turn to have a chance to score.However,Persie's shot just went wide.I guess he still finding his touch.

At 16th minute,Ballack again shot a shot but again,Almunia saved the attack.

Terry's sudden pass to Drogba at 24th minute could be Blues' best chance to score,but Drogba did not finish it well into our goal.

At 38th minute,Gallas could be scoring 2nd time against his former team but it just went to post.But anyway,it was offside.

Two minutes later,complication happened in front of our goal;lots of players trying to get the ball,but fortunately the ball went away from our goal.

Overall,Chelsea had a better game than us.We again lacked creativity,and again it's hard to attack against a great defending team without counter-attacking.

2nd half

At 54th minute,Drogba could score with one to one chance but Gallas did a good job to defend against him.

Arsenal scored first at 58th minute,when Sagna headed from a corner-kick to make Gunners lead with 1-0 score against Chelsea.

Ashley Cole had a chance to score an equaliser at 60th minute but his header was just too wide from the goal.

Ballack put his last shot before he's substituted but Almunia again denied his chance.At 71st minute,Blues equalised with his superb shot and Almunia can't do anything about this shot.4 minutes later,Anelka too put a hot but his attempt was just too poor.

Drogba again became our killer when he scored the winning goal to make Chelsea lead with 2-1 score.This goal was too,from his great shot.

Chelsea continued the possession,and we were just too weak to score any goals now.

Overall

Chelsea deserved to win this game.They had more possession,and Drogba factor again played a huge role over our 2nd lost game so far this season.

We can't score even when we had the control,and when we were dominated,the chances to score are microscopic.

And our Title chance is microscopic too.

Match Preview

Players

All players except Rosicky,Diaby and Eduardo are able to play in this game.

Technical Details

Our last encounter with them had been showing that we played counter-attack against them.Chelsea had most of the possession but one mistake from Cech costs them three points.

This game could be very psychological game for us and it depends too on M.United vs. Liverpool result.If Liverpool managed to win the game,then this game will be very tense for both teams but if inverse happens,then it would be less tension between two teams but the tension will be still high because if Chelsea lose this game,then Avram Grant will bear a heavy responsibility for losing their home unbeaten record.

Again,counter-attacking game for us is sensible choice,considering the fact that we are playing away game against a consistent and a great opponent.

Playing Bendtner and Persie together will be a good choice if we play counter-attack games.Playing Walcott at 60th minute onwards will be a good move too as Chelsea players are quite aged,and power factor is what we need at such a critical stage.But if we happen to lose 3-0 at that time,then I don't think it's necessary;we need to think about the next game.

Our defence on the other hand,will be heavily burdened with the presence with superstars like Schevchenko(is my spelling correct?),Drogba,Anelka and many more from Chelsea's Roman Bank.I wish them good luck.

Arsenal must break the "Bridge" to build our "bridge" to our title dreams

This Grand Slam could decide the title winner,if we draw this game and Devils beat Reds.M.United will lead the table with 5 points and I don't think they will slip-up like we did.

It's our fault not to win the title.The FOUR consecutive DRAWS are utterly unacceptable and this deed clearly handed the title to Devils.

Highlights

Match comments

1st half

Starting of the game.we really dominated the game.Boro had some possession,but it was clearly shown that we controlled the game,with many dangerous attempts.

But it was Boro scored first with their great counter-attack,although it was quite controversial since the goal could be offside.But it was great goal anyway,and I wish we could score goals like this.

At 28th minute,Persie fired a cross but it just went out without contact with other players.I think Persie should shot the ball into the goal,since he's in the penalty box.

At 32nd minute,Eboue was held down in penalty box,but no penalty was given.Gunnners kept the possession well but they can't find an equaliser.

2nd half

Again,we kept the possession well.

At 47th minute,Persie fired a shot but it just went wide.

At 50th minute,Gallas attempt to score an equaliser failed when his header was way our of goal.But it was offside anyway.

Gunnners made double substitution.Persie was substituted by Walcott,and Sagna was substituted by Bendtner.Gunners tried to increase their attacking forces.

Fabregas got a really good chance to equalise at 65th minute when it was said to be one-to-one situation.But his shot was blocked by the goalkeeper's leg,increasing Gooners' frustration.

Fabregas tried an header at 73rd minute,but it somewhat slightly off-target.

The equaliser came at 85th minute,when Toure's header can't be saved by the goalkeeper,and credits should be given to the defender beside him,because he obstructed the goalkeeper.

Gunners's attack came in every second,but they failed to get three points in Emirates.

Comments on this game

I started to wonder why Gallas and Toure played just as they're the striker.They should focus more on their main task,that is to defend.Even they're bored to defend against Boro strikers,they should not too aggressive to attack.Leave these jobs to Adebayor and Persie.

It's very hard to score against a defending team,and our game story was just same like our game against Aston Villa a week ago.A sudden goal,then Gunners attacked like mad,and they got the equaliser.But they just can't get all the three points.

Players

Nothing much to say about the players.There are no players return for injury nor players injured in last game against Wigan.

Technical Details

Play our usual 4-4-2,pair Adebayor with Persie,our great arsenal at the beginning of the season and I don't think we need major change in our midfield.Again,be more flexible in our game and I don't think we will encounter any problem unless we are unlucky in this game.

Playing against Boro is no different than playing against other team in EPL except the Big Four.Physical game,long balls and great counter-attack is characteristics of typical EPL team,and I think we should be able to cope with them,if we are in our best.

Overall

We had somewhat giving more hope for Manchester United to regain the title with our three consecutive draws in our last 3 EPL games.As Middlesbrough will not have desire to survive in Premiership(They will not be relegated for sure) nor to fight for UEFA Cup place(I don't think they will make it to 8th place),I hope we will encounter less fights from them.Our last three games had been against Birmingham(fighting for survival),Aston Villa(fighting for last UCL spot),and Wigan(fighting for survival in EPL) and of course our opponents will do their best to steal the three points against us.

We can't afford to drop points in this game since Devils will take the lead if we do so.And actually Devils could be the first in EPL with their one game in hand.

2008-03-09T19:47:00.000-07:00

I was disappointed with the result.

From 5 points lead to 1 point negative,we seriously need to think about our game.

Yes,the pitch was horrible but that's not the excuse.We simply could not score in this game.We did let our opponent gain some possession to open up the game but it did not seem like that.

Our counter-attack was slow,and Wigan happened to defend well in this match.The game is not open enough for us to play our game.

I'm speechless.

Rosicky remains injured and Walcott injured his thigh so he can't play in this game.

Technical Details

It could be a tough game for us just like the game against Birmingham few weeks ago.Rumours had been spread that JJB Stadium pitch condition is very bad to weaken our slick passing.

Not only that,Wigan players could play very physically and I do think they will play just like the way Birmingham played against us.

So,attacking for the rest of the game could be bad for us,if Wigan proceed to just defend against us.Even we can score,it could be in small margin and we will really work to death to just score a goal.

SO if possible,we should try to open up the game by giving some possession to our opponent.Fabregas,Flamini and Hleb could do a great damage in midfield and our Ade could just easily deal with goalkeeper alone if our "triangles" could do a great penetration to Wigan's defence.

Overall

We can't afford to slip up anymore in EPL games.Manchester United and Chelsea had lost their FA Cup and they will focus their attention to EPL title.I'm scared we will have hard time to catch up with Devils if we drop points in this game,not mentioning our remaining fixtures which are very tough;we need to travel to Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford.

Our UCL fixtures must be tough for us,and we draw English teams,especially Chelsea and Manchester United,then we need to face one of them thrice.

Match comment

What more I can say?We can control their attacks,and we made a good counter-attack to make it 2-0 for us.

The key of our winning was Fabregas' goal opener at 84th minute.As Milan will need at least 2 goals to beat us,they will attack us at all cost.And we finish them with superb counter-attack,thanks to Walcott's fast pace towards Milan goal.

This type of game is Milan's typical winning style;win by counter-attack.And now we beat them the same way they used to beat other teams,including Manchester United.

But I think there were not much attack in second-half,and most of possession was just on the midfield.I think the game will be stretched to extra-time if Fabregas didn't score the first goal.But the extra-time is an advantage for us,because we had more stamina than Milan.

OK,let's set our head to this weekend's game against Wigan.

Match Preview

Players

I'm quite confused whether van Persie has recovered enough to play at San Siro.He is still on the injury news at Arsenal.com.But he has been named in the squad for this match.I hope he is really recovered now.I don't want to hear any injury news for Persie.

There is no return from our injured player currently so we face Milan with our current players.

Technical Details

Again,we need to defend against counter-attacks from Milan.To be frank,I don't think Milan could play attacking game for entire game,unless we had been thrashed 3-0 in just first-half.With their current squad,they don't have the stamina to attack for full 90 minutes.If the result is 0-0 after the 90+ th minute,they will play with a big disadvantage against our more powerful kids.

With Kaka who can score goals with himself,playing counter-attack is the wisest choice Milan can make,at least to my thinking.Their defence is not bad too.

On our hand,again and again we need to play with more creativity.If possible,force Milan to attack us and we will play counter-attack against them.But the problem is our counter-attacking skills is not too good,as our counter-attack will just stop at penalty box,and all defenders will have enough time to rush back to defend.This is not counter-attack.

So,we need to take initiative even at San Siro.We just need to play with more creativity and if we can score a goal first,it will be a very big psyhcological advantage for us.If Milan score first and the lead is just 1-0 for Milan,then I think they will pack 10 players to defend and maybe they left Kaka to counter-attack.

I assume Kaka is playing in this match,in case he's not here then another player will replace him.It's that simple I think.

Overall

What I expect from this game is our players must give a good challenge and good play at San Siro,even we lose this game.I'm not optimistic about this game,but of course I hope Gunners could win this game.I don't hope for another ugly exit;I'd enough already.Losing 5-1 to Spurs in Carling Cup,4-0 to Devils and I don't want another one here.

Comments on this game

Again,and again we lacked creativity.And the worst is we lacked speed too in this game.

I don't have comments on Senderos' own goal.It was purely an accident and I don't hope for second.

Our shots on target almost equal to zero in first-half.We're going nowhere in first-half.How I wished the break will come sooner.We need to reorganise ourselves,after playing nothing in first-half.

In second-half,we were just like an "assassin" trying to kill someone but they were surrounded by many guards.We will have hard time to kill into the goal like that.And that's why we just scored one goal.It could be zero goal for us in this game.

The game must be open in order to Wengerball to achieve maximum power.Our game don't interact well with closed game.

Our counter-attack wasn't smooth today.We suddenly stopped our counter-attack to wait for our teammate to come,but at that time all defender will be in front of their goal.So,what's the purpose of counter-attack if we play like this?THIS IS NOT COUNTER-ATTACK.

We were lucky to have opportunity to score an equaliser just before final whistle,to deny Manchester United 3-0 win from pushing us down to second.

We must improve,or we're going to be teared apart at San Siro.
