...Arsenal play the ball in behind for Theo to run onto. He's so much more dangerous in that situation than playing ball to feet all the time. He stretches the defense, makes them turn, and forces them to then sit deeper, giving more space in the hole for the AM etc. to play in. Great performance and some great goals. Hopefully that confidence will inspire them.
It was like going into a time portal. I felt i was watching the real Arsenal, the team i supported as a child, rather than the current Arsenal, who filled my teen years with much misery.
they play well last night ! hope that they will bo on in good state ! please log in to view this image
Actually I think we worked on our finishing since the Bolton game where we were extremely wasteful. Our problem is not creating chances it's finishing them off. This helps when your strikers and midfielders hit the target, which happened a lot yesterday.
Its not really as obvious as that, most team defend deep against us which means he doesn't have space to run in to. We would play through balls in to him all the time if that wasn't the case.
Of course Blackburn were very poor defensively. However the team played very well. Song was excellent and Walcott and Oxo both ran their socks off. There's no doubt we have been poor this season but I dont think United and Chelsea look any better. We should have got something out of the United game and Chelsea have no idea how to play this high defensive line they are adopting. If we had Wilshere back would be feeling alot more confident but having both Sagna and Santos back will make a big difference also. There's still a long way to go and another good run of form could well see us get back above Chelsea.
