I was not expecting a win from this game. But the way team
played was terrific. They showed real character and zeal. Everyone was working their hearts out. Nobody had a real bad
day except Fabianski! Now he would know why he cant be Arsenal’s number 1 or
Poland’s!!! His decision making is real bad, and he is not very good at one on
one either!!! Anyways, we now have one competition less to worry about and
energy can be spend into PL 4th position finish!!!
We played with a second fringe team, and nobody in that team
showed any intimidation towards the occasion or the team we were playing against.
Kos, Miquel were the starts of back four with exceptional piece of tackling and
wining aerial duels. Squilaci had an okay game and so did Djourou. They stuck
to their task and didn’t make any mistake which would stand out. Frimpong was
like glue to Nasri in first half and to Aguero in second (A dench performance
indeed). Coq tried his level best and his performance was okay. Park was not
very influential, but came very close to scoring. His first touch has to
improve and he might become a player we expect him to be. Benayoun with Captain’s
armband was running the midfield like a maniac. He was showing his creativity
and authority and I think getting a start and Captain’s armband really made him
work. Chamakh still has to instill confidence in his game. He sometimes
tend to lose his concentration and doesn’t close in to the defenders. He had a
late chance to win the game, but it was not meant to be! Maybe he keeping
unwell had to do with his performance too. Anyways I want him to stay and hence
would want him to join Yoga classes :D!!!! I have saved the best for the last
and he is Alex Ox, he was everything we want Theo to be!!! He was not
intimidated by Zabaletta and kept coming onto City’s defence, which comprised
of Toure, Savic, Zabaletta and Onhua. And troubling that defence is not a mean
feat by any chance!!! Icing on the cake would have been, if he could have
scored! Gervinho came and did the same things he has been doing, running into defence
and lacking the final pass. Verminator and Arshavin didn’t get any chance to
showcase their performance, but Verm did win some good headers and tackles.
The best part was booing of Nasri from our Fans!!! It didn’t let him settle in and he was pathetic in his play. And the way Frimpong tweeted about him when he left Arsenal with “Pffffff” the same way he didn't let him breathe on the field!!!
Only one mistake was made by us in the game, when we lost
the ball from set piece and some wonderful work done by the trio of Dzeko,
Aguero and Johnson to score the only goal of the match!!!
Well next up is Wigan, and I am hoping that this wonderful
performance from reserve first team will make our first team players work more
hard and keep positive results coming in!!!
So till next time. Keep the heads high and remember that
future is in good hands!!! Hail Gunners!!!
P.S.- I am half sleepy, hence maybe there might be some spelling errors. So live with them!!! :D
