If Chelsea are bang in form Essien can get into form quickly then, our current central midfield pair will be eaten alive. Lets be honest and realistic here, we drew 4 games in a row where our midfield was completely ineffective. We won against a very poor roma who aren't that good and Totti was playing with a niggling injury and almost didn't start the game afaik and was completely annonymous throughout. We've won against Cardiff, and Burnley, West Brom and really it was only the game today we controlled midfield but still not that well.
I think we'll find it very very hard to dominate a midfield against Chelsea, it also completely depends what happens when Ade gets back. Eduardo really is capable of playing and scoring against any team in the world, he's deadly, RVP can play against anyone very well, but if Wenger drops Adebayor straight back in when he's fit then I can't see us having a chance. Likewise Djourou has had trouble in all his recent games, I don't like his chances of holding up a faster bigger and stronger Drogba, let alone Anelka's pace if he's back. The game will hinge on who we can play upfront and if we can play Toure/Gallas at the back in which case we have a chance.
I keep reading Drunkenmasters post, and they always **** off everybody on the damn pitch.
I think i'm just going to stop reading them. Heck, I can even say Arsenal played well today, I'm a United supporter.
I'd rather draw Chelsea or Everton in the Cup, I really do believe Arsenal play some lovely football when they want to.
how did I **** everyone off again, Diaby, Denilson and Song, well and Ade but it seems all Arsenal fans think he's a joke now.(keep in mind I didn't mention Denilson or Ade until this post, so thats two players, of which one I said did better than usual just poor defensively).
Do remember that this forum is FULL of Arsenal fans who dislike one or two of those plus CONSTANTLy complain about, hmm, Eboue, Bendtner, Gallas, Toure, Almunia(pretty often), Senderos and well, quite a few others also while I never **** those players off. If you ever read my posts you would very quickly find I'm the most positive person with regards to our squad, just not wengers first team choice. I think we have a squad capable of winning lots of things even this year, we've just picked the wrong players all year. It would be like if Man U played Fletcher and o'shea in midfield all year, with Carrick and Scholes on the bench for no apparent reason. In Man U's case they aren't bad, theres just far better players for the position in the squad.
I'm the one that got crap for saying RVP was better than Bergkamp two years ago, which he was and is, he just didn't have the reputation or amount of games. This year he's proved more deadly infront of goal, more capable of running a game, scores more, more assists, stronger, faster, tougher. But I guess when everyone else said he wasn't that good and I was singing his praises, that was me complaining about another player right?
I could mention Man U fans who couldn't let a week go without slagging off one of there players despite winning everything this year, lets see who they've slagged off this year, Berbatov, Tevez(both of which is laughable), o'shea, park, Fletcher, Gibson, Welbeck and others aswell. This is slagging those guys off when far out in the league, won a cup already etc etc. Loads of them slagged off Wes brown all year despite a great year with more defensive records.
Liverpool fans **** off about 85% of their team. But yes, its me, I'm always complaining about my players, sure.
