So after a wonderful Champions League Week, we are gunning
for a win against Everton. CL week was wonderful because of many reasons:
Firstly, Arsenal lost
and our second fringe players now know why they are not getting first team
starts regularly. Likes of Frimpong, Coquelin, Manone, and Fabianski were
crying foul on less number of chances given to them this season. Amongst the
group, Frimpong was the only one who was positive in his statements where as
Fabianski and Coquelin have already shared that they want to leave in January
if they don’t get enough starts. I guess with a dismal performance like that of
Wednesday would make them realize that they will never play in a big club if
they don’t improve. And if they only want to play football, then they can be
sold off to lower league clubs, where they might turn out to be very very
talented!!! I still have a soft corner for Manone, and I feel that if given
opportunities, then he will show that he is better than Szczesny. I feel he is
better and his howler can be excused for the fact that this was the first time
since 2009 he was playing in first team and that too in Champions League, which
can make anyone nervous!!! I would also like to add here that the way Fabianski
faked his injury to get out of onslaught was quite dramatic!!! He just needed
an excuse and he got it!!! He now should definitely keep mum and try to work on
his goalkeeping skills, if he wants to play regularly for either Arsenal or
Poland!!! On the senior player front Arshavin was awful again, so were
Squillaci and Djourou and to an extent Benayoun and Vermaelen were found at
fault too. Only saving grace was the performance of Oxlade-Chamberlain. He is a
live wire and because of him we can now see that Walcott has also started
working harder on the pitch to make sure his by default starting position
doesn’t come under threat!!!
The only worrying thing which came out of that insignificant
game was that my favorite player Santos was injured. I still feel that Santos
and Vermaelen should have been given a rest too.
Secondly I loved to see Manchester United out of Champions
league. Men Vs Boys, Grand daddies Vs Baby sitters or whatever shit they say, I
just loved the way how they crumbled!!! Oppositions to ManU now have to learn
how to cross ball in ManU box and make sure the cross falls behind David de
Gea. This will give opposition an easy opportunity for a tap in, because their goalkeeper
is shit!!! He is good as a shot stopper, but not in other aspect of goal
keeping and crosses are his weaknesses.
Thirdly and most importantly, Manchester City is out!!! I
didn’t know that Nasri joined ManC to get laurels in Europa League. And I would
like to add that “Nasri!!! You are a Cunt!!!” Enough said I guess!!!
Now coming on to the game against Everton. It’s going to be
an emotional ride for Arteta, as this would be the first time he would be
playing his old club which he love. Also this would be a good test of our
bench!!! Now we’ll show the world that we can play and win without a full back
(Tongue in cheek remark, ofcourse!!!).
The biggest news is this that Alumina is back in reckoning
and would be on bench against Everton!!! This will definitely instill
confidence in the team!!! :D… Now coming to some serious stuff; Team from my
side would be somewhat like this Szczesny, Vermaelen, Squillaci, Koscielny,
Djourou, Song, Ramsey, Arteta, Walcott, Gervinho and RVP. Subs would be
Almunia, Miquel, Frimpong, Coquelin, Benayoun, Diaby and Chamakh.
As far as score line goes, seeing Squillaci in our back
four, I would go with 3-1 wherein RVP and Arteta will score the goals for
arsenal and Cahill will be on score sheet for Everton. I think his goal drought
will come to end against Arsenal and anyways we always are very generous to
out of form teams and out of form players!!!
