Walcott against schalke

                                      

           The contract rebel walcott has been in spotlight since the start of the season.According to him the reason behind his refusal to sign is that he needs to play as a center striker,while according to the board he is not satisfied with his weekly wage.Whatever may be the situation this post analyses his performance against schalke.

              Pros--    The goal he scored was very well taken.Giroud pondered while walcott pounced on it like a goal poacher.For the rest of the game half he helped sagna to limit the attacks through right side.Also he was trying to get himself into some interesting positions.

            Cons-Well the media,twitter ,fan pages ..have been praising walcott and the arsenal.com has him as the man of the match.But i think he was poor apart from the goal.Those who watched will still get frustrated the way he played after he received the pass.He takes the ball and tries t0o dribble it past two or three defenders around him,And not even once could he succeed.80%of the match saw him trying to cut inside,but was fruitless.Rest ,he crossed twice ,one to the stands and other to corner flag.While on the other flank podolski crossed twice ,one giroud scored and in the second goalie had the better moment.And in the 94th minute,one of the games best chances was given to him.He had the chance either to pass it to giroud or to shoot.I won't have a go at him for that,cause every striker misses chances.

        Well ,he has changed the fans hearts with his hattrick against reading and the brace against coventry city.He has improved his finishing ,but still lacks crossing and the intelligence of what to do with ball against teams which doesn't give him space.If you analyse him his 7/8goals -3 versus reading,2 versus coventry,1 vs west ham,1 vs southampton were against teams playing desperately for goal/low standards.I won't  insult his finishing,cause he is becoming a lethal finisher but,he has along way to go before he gets $100k weekly ARSENAL wages.

Emmanuel Frimpong MR DEENCH

Hii
         As i have written in the beginning i would be writing about our favourite arsenal players.First article was about arshavin and now a youngster.Our club is famed for its youth academy and the latest to enter the first team is Emmanual Frimpong.
                          

        Emmanuel Yaw Frimpong is his full name.He was born in kumasi,ghana and moved to tottenham at the young age.Arsenal signed him at the age of 8.And according to the research he scored his first goal against coventry club.(sorry if iam wrong).The dynamic man came through the ranks after ten years of hardworking and remember it is not easy and only a few can do it.
     
     The lad was given the scholarship(a on pics,thanks to arsenal youth) after he impressed the coaches with improved performances.Then he won the double fa cup youth cup and premier league academy in the year 2008/09.Next year too, he was a member of youth team which won the fa youth cup.Every talanted youngster gets his chance and frimpong got it.Wenger selected him in the pre-season team of 2010.And in the emirate cup he was unleashed and he started both of the games.Lots of appreciation was won from the pundits as well as the fans.But injury struck him and he lost the chance to break into the first team along with his friend wilshere.

   
           The boss was very much pleased with his attributes especially his engine.Frimpong in my honest opinion never rested on his laurels and continued to work harder.The reason was obvious, fight for a place and also he loved the club deeply.Another interesting point  to note is that he formed a formidable partnership with wilshere at the heart of midfield  at his younger days.This will obviously help the club in the future.

        The year 2011 came,and frimpong broke into the first team.First match ,against liverpool he had a good game until the red card.Another game in which he really excelled was against manchester city.In that game against the billion dollar team he controlled the midfield.He also got another start against olimpiakos.

           Now looking at his game he is a defensive midfielder .His engine never stops and he has physical power to out muscle opponents.Tackling is good but only experience will teach him the correct time to execute it.The dynamic midfielder has a never say die attitude .Positioning and man marking has to be improved .Even though he had a good game against city,he should have done much better when they counter attacked for the last goal.But experience is teacher and with many games under his belt he would be a glowing star for arsenal.Only disappointing game he played according to me,is his last game .But he will overcome that and will be ready to pounce on any opportunities he gets.

          Let me explain guys,another reason i want him to be a great player.Looking back at our club, we have lost many players (good or bad)  just for money.Samir nasri is the latest to go.What i like in Emmanuel Yaw Frimpong is that he LOVES ARSENAL DEEP FROM HIS HEART.He is a player who has lot of passion for our dear club.This could be understood from his deed,words and action for the last one year.

          And another noting point is that even when he had the opportunity to play for england(which has more chance to win trophies than ghana) he rejected it and decided to play for his own country Ghana.This is quite remarkable.This underlines his dedication for his homeland and also the fact that he does what he feels in his heart  ..


      So guys lets hope he turns out to be another gem uncovered by arsene wenger.With games under his belt i would be expecting him to frimpong his opponents.What i think he needs now is lot of games which he will get if he goes out for a loan.Lets wish him best of luck.

Transfer rumors (Joking!!!)

Hii
        When i was much younger i used to be crazy for transfer rumors.It would make me sit down and read all the bluffs  available.But as years passed by and when my intelligence grew(it has to) i tried to control myself from reading it.But to be true, i cant  control myself now too.(even though i  don't believe it unless from a very reasonable source). It is  the natural curiosity of any human being in wanting to know what will happen next.Here it is combined with the love for the club praying to be linked with a player who could transform the club to its next level.
             
                                   Now its middle of december with only a few weeks left for the transfer .So now i look into what the transfer mill is offering for our club and its credibility.


   *http://gunnersphere.com/2011/12/tabloid-talk/gunners-re-linked-with-real-madrid-ace
                                    Not just this site but many have been linking us to benzema.Whoah think deeply,do you feel he is gonna come to arsenal.Mourinho likes him a lot and preferred him to higuain against barca.With such confidence on him, will he be transferred to arsenal?think.

*http://www.caughtoffside.com/2011/12/09/arsenal-plan-13m-january-chelsea-pair-bid/

                                  Do u think wenger will go for alex.He is very happy with his current centre backs and mind you if he ever needs one will he go for alex or last year in contract man cahill?

*http://www.soccerplay.net/arsenal-interested-in-argentine-defensive-midfielder-is-he-good-enough/13472

                                 Not just this site ,but i used the site since they are bluffing too much for hits recently.When we have song ,wenger a great admirer of frimpong ,coquelin pleading for chances ,do you think wenger will go for another defensive midfielder?

*http://justarsenal.com/arsenal-scouts-watching-argentinian-striker-called-suarez/11845
                                  Just another article for hits. Even though it clearly mentions argentina ,the news is simply bad.

*http://straightalkingooners.com/transfer-talk-wenger-preparing-bid-for-15m-swiss-international/7855/
                                  Just after a good performance against man u media have been linking us to shaqiri.Well they think wenger will take any player who played nicely against their rivals.The news is waste as we have too many men playing in that position.

                                   If i continue with it the list would be big ,so iam not prolonging it.Let me share you another experience i had today.I stumbled across the news heading 'vieria to arsenal'.Surprised by the heading and not knowing what was ahead i clicked it.To my annoyance the author fooled me by telling vieria was a second division player in spain.I was pretty aghast by the incident and decided to write about it.

                                  Well there are many ,iam sure you have seen it as  much as i have seen.There are many reliable news circulating like wolfsburg interested in rosicky.Its true as their manager have spoken it out  publicly of their desire  to get rosicky as wll as bayern forward olic.Podolski news have been brought as he has ascertained that he want to leave abroad and wenger spoke of the chance of bringing in a new striker.

                                  What i am trying to tell you is please don't get  hyped by the transfer rumors running wildly .When i read comments of a transfer page i notice many of them yelling at wenger for trying to buy the player (as on that transfer page) .Well i don't  understand the logic behind it,reading a rumor and cursing the boss.So think for a moment before commenting and believing it.

                       I dont know why the bad fate is always with arsenal.We have drawn milan.Damn it .Why didnt we get other six teams.Lets hope it is for the best.Come on gooners

Arsenal out in youth FA cup,bunjaku leaves

Hii
         Not good news at all.First our youth team is out of the FA cup with a lose against derby.The game had moved into the extra time where the winner was hit.But the truth is that we dominated the game but could not find the winner and certainly bould was an unhappy man at the end.I dont know why all the upcoming goalies are good(like argentinian goalie martinez) charle cook was exceptional yesterday but could not stop the winner from being scored.


       The other is a bitter dissapointing as a fututre prospect bunjaku has left the club.When i had watched his matches and clips i was impressed by his flair and touch.But due to unknown reasons he have left the club.But wenger knows the best and i trust in him.

        Transfer rumours are running high ,currently linking us to podolski and torres .Wow the name sounds good but it  circulates just because of the fact that wenger mentioned about strikers .Not much news otherwise

Thought on the tactics

  So the day of premier league has arrived with arsenal facing eveton.Wenger has made clear to his players to concentrate on the league than thinkinh of champions league.He is absolutely right.The coming six games will have huge effect on the rest of the season.

           The team looks a bit short at the moment.In the defense we would be playing all the four central defenders .I iam guessing(who cant) mertskr,kos at the heart of the defense,djoru at right and verm at the back.or if wengwe has confidence at miquel we could see emrt verm at centre and kos at right.I t depends on the boss right?.The remaining team song arteta ramseywith gerv,theo and rvp.

           Todays game we would be under the pressure.So passing will have to be quick .Song and ramsey mainly should not loose the possession at the centre of the pitch.The movements off the ball too should be good so as to be in a better pass receiving position.Gervinho and theo should stretch the defence and cut back the crosses.if miquel is playing gerv should do his defensive duties.(he does that now ).Song should not make too much of fouls especially near the box as everton would use the set pieces to maximum effect.

            And arteta plying against his  best friends,wont be easy .Another astonishing fact is that arteta is the joint second top scorer of everton with two goals.So thats for the day .Hope everyone would be watching the game

What makes arsenal stingy

HIii
        Emirates is buzzing these days and according to the officials they are preparing themselves for the great 125 th year celebrations.Even though we could not show the form on the pitch at the start of the season, now we are exactly showing off.I would be writing once in a while explaining different philosophies the club now practices.
                  At this time the club, mainly our boss is criticized for lack of spending money.True as a fan i too would want the club to spend.Do u think wenger doesn't love having world class players in his team?Who wouldn't want ?So anyone bashing him on not spending is utterly out of mind.He does love having good players .And one of the example which shows he spends money is henry.He spend 10-11 million on the year1999.
             So time passed and we built a new stadium.As you would expect the huge amount was taken as loan.Before that ,ie wengers beginning years he had the freedom to spend freely and that was curbed after the new stadium.Realistically board put wenger under trouble by decreasing transfer amounts as the major income was used to finish off loans.Now too the loan has not been fully paid .What wenger wants is the end of the loan ,at which he should be able to spend again freely.
                  And what does we do?We shout ,criticize and snigger at him while he accepts it and doesnt have the ethics to tell about the board's doing to the public.Guys we should respect  this man as he is the reason what we are today and what we would be, after another 100 years as he has set the club with deep visionary.
                         
                            Now in other news,it seems schezny is supporting degea through twitter.good.Angha would most probably in the arsenal team for evetron..And in todays transfer we are linked to damio,vertonghen,alex,cahill,goetze....Hmmm how much can i hear in ione day!!

Two in Two out

Hiii
         So at last the group phase is over and two English teams are out and two are in.One of the team ousted is Manchester city.The million dollar team could not stand to expectations even though they beat bayern which  had their fringe players.And now their captain kompany wants them to  win europe championship .Well best of luck .Money cant win everything in the pitch can it?
           The other team is Manchester united .The best team in the world,the team coached by the best manager, the team with never say die attitude ,is out.yeah its true .They would be playing europe league with the spurs .I feel pity on them  since they were on the hardest group in this competetion .They had to face the almighty otelul gelati,the supreme benefica and the magnificient basel.Sorry for them.Next year i will pray that  they would be in an easier group.
                  One of the team qualified is chelsea.congrats to them.The heat  surrounding AVB  might lessen thanks to this qualification.
                     The other team qualified is relegation battlers  titled by the experts ,the team coached by money stinger ,the one man club,the cesc less team THE ARSENAL .Whoah would you believe it.I think the reason arsenal qualified is,  since they were in the easiest group containing german and french minnows.Every team was hoping to be in such an easier group but by luck arsenal got it.

                December ,one week is over and this month we would be looking to concentrate in the league.All the best arsenal.And apparently beeny would love to stay here till his contract ends.Good for him.And our boss feels madrid and barcelona are best .True....

p.s please take this article in its way

Time for guys like Hansen to shut up Right?

Hiii
         What a vintage performance from the ole ole ole beautiful arsenal. Yeah true i am late.Sorry guys fever took me the nights arsenal shattered wigan and i was under rest.
          When the season started the media were bluffing sack wenger ,arsenal playing in championship....so on.Then after turning the corner(as our boss said it) bums like alan hansen talking of one man arsenal team and not giving any credit.After that we scored a few matches without rvp and he tells opposition played stupid.Its crazy to hear from such a man who has played football .I also don't understand how the hell he receives  £1.5millionper year for motd program talking this bluff.So at least now when arsenal is winning it is time for him and others to say good about our team or at least show the worth of the money they are paid for. or mr alan hasen please shut you mouth for goodness sake.
         Now to the match according to the opta stats we did 33 passes for our third goal.So no end to the tipy tapy play even after losing cesc.That shows we have the talent .up up gunners.We are right behind u.
        Another mention to the away match supporters how great they were .Also wonderful to see szczesny asking the fans to be silent and singing we are by far the greatest team and then all the fans joined him ....

Andrey Arshvavin

Hiii
           As time goes by i would be writing about our players.Now when i look at the arsenal team i feel sorry for the cute russian arshavin.
             He arrived after a protracted  transfer from russia.I still remembering the time i glued to my pc to hear about him joining us.First it was like the transfer had broken down and my friends began to curse the  money pincher wenger(i surely dont agree with that )and then suddenly he had joined as on deadline day.He announced his arrival to the premier league with an awesome foursome goals against the liverpool.Wow i was so happy.But after that even though he has been good he has not been his best.

             Speaking about him he has technical ability,vision and a knack for goals.  He was really great during his first season.But then he began to fade.Looking at him his original position is through the centre.But wenger prefers him in the flank.Th reason is obvious .Have u seen ramsey while playing in the CAM position, tracking back to help defensively and get the ball back.Exactly thats the reason he is not playing in the middle.He wants his players to track back. So arshavin was deployed in the flank.
            Many  before the start of the year wanted arshavin to be sold citing the reason that he is not good to continue.But if  we look at the stats he scored 10goals and made 17 assists.Cool right !Not in good form and getting such stats.That's arshavin.He looks ordinary in most of the games completely invisible but have rare moments.What the fans demand is he should play like that every minute.True.So its areal dilemma whether u need arshavin or not.
         Thinking of him this season he has not had a real impact for our team.When against sunderland

i thought he was back when he dribbled through four defenders in the penalty box.Oh what a sight it was.Then against bolton another good  performance.Rest of the games he had looked ordinary.
        This russian magician continue to amaze fans with his magic like the goal against the barcelona(I would neve forget that .Will YOU?)  as well as frustrate with his ordinary perfomance.We want you arshavin .U should be back with bang.
       Lets hope for the better isn't it?

Arsenal vs wigan

Hii
      Coming to the match with a week off for most of the team will be good.Team news is good considering no further setbacks.But its frustrating to see Diaby out.How the lad could be feeling,considering the time spent on the injury table and the way  he worked hard to regain the fitness now  thats the reason behind barton incident (remembering 4-4).
       So with a strong team even a pessimistic would not be thinking of a defeat to the current arsenal team.the present is good at play as well as mentality.I expect the team with gervinho,rvp,walct,song,arteta,ramsey,santos,vermalean,metskr,kosnly.(surely anyone can guess that lineup )i also hop alex can get a substitute appearance today.the chances of winning looks pretty good but fingers crossed.
    The other news transfer gossips are bubbling day by day linking us to top players as well as unknown.A mexican midfielder has apparently already signed for us according to many sources.But wengert has dismissed it telling its an agent play.Lets see.
                     Arshavin as we know is a great  player but curently lacks in confidence.Lets hope he can regain his form by cominh today as late substitute.Ifeel sorry for him as he is such a wonderful player on his day.
    And before ending its cool to see the team enjoying themselves.Watch the team playing table tennis at arsenal.com.

What makes wenger special

Hiiii

Wenger is the reason arsenal  has reached its present position.He has gone through the ups and downs   .       Speaking of the downs this is his worst year.
                            what makes wenger special is the way he transformed the club.Changing clubs style of play
itself increased clubs popularity.he also improved the clubs infrastructure .he is the reason why the board        is  boasting of self sustainability model.

                           He also has many interesting tactics with him.with the current formation we can                    switch           from4-3-3 to 4-1-4-1to4-3-1-2.the tactic which he used to tie up barcelona last year too was wonderful..
                          The way he signs a player is simply awesome.The number of players he made world class is astonishingly very high.
                           So let support mr wenger and hopes he stays forever at arsenal
