WE WON!!!
And as I predicted 2-1… So this means I do have football acumen or what!!! RVP
did it again… 31 goals in this calendar year, wow!!! Only 5th player
to do it, and remember he can very well reach 40+, as there are many matches still
to go….
Arsenal put
out the same team as I predicted (Pssst: All of the other bloggers got it wrong
:D). I still believe that Mert has a long way to go in EPL. He does have an
intimidating presence, but the way he is out muscled most of the times is not
very good showing!!! He is very slow to react and that is one aspect he needs
to improve upon, otherwise we would never be able to keep clean sheets. I think
Mert cant thank RVP enough to save him blushes… I wont be spending time on RVP,
as whatever I say will be less for his caliber!!!
Our midfield
was not very fluent. Ramsey and Arteta were missing from most part of the
match! Song was losing the ball way too much, which is unlikely for him after
seeing his recent run of form! I thought that international break would do well
for Arteta and he would come out all guns blazing, but he was looking rusty. I
have never liked Ramsey and hence just waiting for Jack to return and take his
place!!! Our midfield was also looking less influential because Norwich had a
extra man employed there to counter out movement. Gervinho was looking very
lively since start, but has to improve his finishing skills. Theo again was
trying to beat Usan Bolt, but from football aspect he still has a long way to
go. Only if he could improve his Vision and positioning, he would do well.
Santos was again very exciting to watch, I love him!!! Kos did ok in his full
back position. Verminator was commanding as ever in the box.
I am
wondering, after seeing Holt’s performance UK might give him a chance to
represent them at world stage as a swimmer. The way he dived and dived, even
Ian Thorpe could learn from him a few tricks!!! Overall Norwich played nicely
and tried to close down Arsenal. But they couldn’t finish and RVP couldn’t
miss!!!
All in all
a good hard fought victory. Even though we were a bit sloppy here and there,
and we did have many chances to finish the game long ago, but really who
cares!!! I just wanted the three points and I got it. It’s actually good that
Arsenal didn’t run through Norwich, otherwise we don’t take much time to grow
overconfident (which our past record will show you) and lose game!!! This
victory will keep our feet down on the ground and will propel us to work hard
in next coming games. I am not saying that I love these kinds of heart attack
giving matches, but right now what we need is focus and concentration and
belief and confidence.

were not able to watch the match can take a look at highlights here!!!
So now next
is Dortmund at home on Wednesday, let’s buckle up for the game and confirm our
spot at the top of group!!!
