Comments on: The Fact Is Arsenal Need 3 Goals Tonight http://www.afc4life.co.uk/2007/03/07/the-fact-is-arsenal-need-3-goals-tonight/ Fri, 12 Mar 2010 02:26:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.1 by: Robert http://www.afc4life.co.uk/2007/03/07/the-fact-is-arsenal-need-3-goals-tonight/#comment-9754 Wed, 07 Mar 2007 14:18:32 +0000 http://www.afc4life.co.uk/2007/03/07/the-fact-is-arsenal-need-3-goals-tonight/#comment-9754 Good point about Diaby because he was impressive against Chelscum and arguably we lost our creativity when he came off. Plus he'd give us some extra weight in midfield alongside Fabregas and Gilberto. Ljungberg would be a good option for Arsenal in the second half if they're still chasing a goal. Diaby would also cover the defense with Gilberto against a team that will want to nick a goal. Not sure about Henry though, but I suppose we won't know until first 45 minutes are over to see whether it was a mistake or not. Does anyone know what his injury problems have been? Was it his ankle or a hamstring? Good point about Diaby because he was impressive against Chelscum and arguably we lost our creativity when he came off.

We need to be creative and I think Diaby has more ability to create chances than Freddie. We can always bring him on if we're still chasing a goal. Also, Thierry has to start. It's pointless bringing him off the bench because if he gets injured then we've lost an option. We have to start at a high tempo and really get at them early on, if the game is played at a slow pace it will suit PSV down to the ground. Anyway, here's hoping the boys can pull it off!!!

Infact i think it will make it easier for the PSV defence to cope with us if he plays because let's face it we do tend to overplay when he's in the 11 lately. I do hope we get an early goal and that Wenger gets his tactics spot on cos Koeman certainly will. For once i would like the boys to shoot on sight and hope for a rebound cos God knows we could do with a few scrappy goals especially tonight. Very nervy night at the Emirates but i see a 4-1 Arsenal Come On you Gunners!!! I’m not sure we should risk TH14 if he’s not fully fit.

Hopefully we will get the goals, we do after all have a mass of firepower, but I feel we are balancing on a knife's edge with this game. GOONERS! GOONERS!

They'll need to control then game, and starve PSV of te Ball. Hassle them in the middle of the park so that they seldom reach our penalty box. It's a classic case of having to defend from the front. It'll have to be finished in the 90 minutes too, because we can't afford to let it go to Penalties. It's just a shame that Flamini is not fit, because I think he'd have been perfect to slot in to the right back spot, and do a good defensive job. What is needed though is support. We need to get behind the team, and give them the belief that they can do it! It will need a performance like the 4-0 away where Gilberto scored the fastest goal.

As in, the timing of the pass, the runs and all. You could see that the timings were slightly off in the match against Reading, while he was breaking forward with the Beast n a few other newcomers. over the last few years Arsene has preferred to play freddie…even though he’s a little slower now, its easy to notice that he’s perfectly synchronized with henry.
