So after the midweek carling cup, proper cup and proper
football is back with Arsenal travelling to ‘DW Stadium’. Wigan is the same
team who put a nail in the coffin as far as Steve Bruce is concerned. Going to
‘Stadium of Light’ and winning when they were down and out is not a mean feat
(8 games without a win, out of which 7 were defeats)!!!
Boss as always was very respectful towards opposition and I think we should not be complacent and get the job done. They don’t posses huge
names of highly gifted players, but they do have some good performers. Al Habsi
is hell of a keeper. He has pretty good reflexes and has good decision making
skills in the box too. If he brings his A game on, we might be seeing another
Fulham kind of match, where we were shooting and shooting on the goal, but
there was someone to block our chances. Ben Watson, Di Santo, Diame etc are
good players, and on their day can trouble us. Indecently we have never beaten
WIgan under Roberto Martinez at DW!!! Hence this game becomes that much more
important, as currently we need a win, and win big!!! We do have tendency to make these smaller
teams feel good by letting them come from behind more often than not. We make a
meal of the game and try to have it too!!! No hiccups are welcomes this time
around though.
On the team news, we have Mr. Diaby aka boon to medical
science, back to where he belongs, medical centre!!! Which I think was made to
order by him. Anyways, good news is there is no other casualty. Playing a
completely changed team against Manchester City most certainly did help our
cause. So we have RVP who has scored one more goal than whole of Wigan Team. We
have Verminator, who wants to give an empathetic performance after Fulham game.
We have Djourou and Koscielny, who wants to stake a claim on first team spot
(and their recent performances are saying nothing less). We also have the
giant, Per, who wants to prove he is not as bad at forwards are making him
look!!! We have Theo, who would like to prove that comparisons with Ox are
meaningless and he is still the man. We have Gervinho, who would definitely
like to add goals and finishing touches to his play, and make sure he doesn’t
become next Chamakh!!! We also have ever so reliable Song and Arteta pairing in
middle of the park (Not the player :D). What we don’t have is Jack in place of Ramsey!!!
I have stopped writing anything about RVP, as whatever I
write would diminish in comparison to his enormous form and talent.
So as far as team for the match goes: Szcz, Santos, Mert,
Verm, Kos, Song, Ramsey, Arteta, Gervinho, Theo and RVP. Bench: Fabianski,
DJourou, Frimpong, Arshavin, Rosicky, Benayoun and Chamakh. Prediction from my
side is Wigan 0 and Arsenal 4 with RVP and Gervinho with a brace, as I want
Gerv to score and get a confidence boost!!! This would definitely help us in
long term!!!
Nothing has worked to get you guys on twitter as yet; hence
I have devised a new strategy….. PLEASE JOIN ME, CLICK HERE!!! :D:D:D…. Hope
this helps.
Till next time. COYG!!!!
