What a game – Arsenal with their kids, are losing 2-0 at White Hart Lane and what is the response?
To claw back 2 goals and almost steal the winner!
The first half Arsenal made defensive mistakes to gift Tottenham 2 stupid goals – the first from a mix up between Toure and Almunia (who looked dodgy all night) and the second was an unbelievable mis-kick from Baptista who scored in the wrong goal!
But even by gifting Spurs two goals they couldn’t beat our kids with their first team!
Brilliant!
It’s nights like this you can’t help but love football!
But the character and determination yet again shown by Wenger’s kids was frightening and this current Arsenal squad just do not know when they are beaten.
2007 has been a fantastic year for Arsenal and let’s hope their outstanding form continues on Sunday against Bolton in the FA Cup.
Despite being 2-0 away from home and against a daunting crowd Arsenal’s young guns started the second half brightly and Fabregas was fantastic. He was against a 5 man Spurs midfield but still made them look poor, running the midfield and creating numerous chances for Arsenal.
Another surging Fabregas run from midfield just after the hour mark resulted in a smart one-two between Walcott and Baptista for the Brazilan to slot the ball past the helpless Robinson and make the tie 2-1.
Then only 15 minutes later Fabregas had the ball in the centre of midfield and for some crazy reason Spurs stood off him! The young Spaniard literally had so much time and space and he punished accordingly by floating a brilliant ball over the top for the quick Justin Hoyte, who crossed the ball past Robinson (who was in no-man’s land) for The Beast to score his second for Arsenal and to equalise against the odds!
What a comeback in the North London Derby!
And as Arsenal dominated the entire second half Fabregas had a chance to win the game with a header, and so did Walcott who only succeeded in scuffing his shot wide of the near post.
Wenger said he will continue with the kids in the second leg and on this performace you can’t blame him!
The kids will get a lot of praise for the second half performance and they should do, playing so well and with so much confidence against a very strong Spurs side!
Actual result Spurs 2 v Arsenal 2
Psychological result Spurs 0 Arsenal 10
I’m proud of the youngsters tonight, they made some shocking mistakes to give Sp*rs two goals but to come back against their strongest team was sensational!
Well done boys! And they’ll easily finish the job off at the Emirates!
Brilliant! Come on the Arsenal – 2007 could be fantastic – Arsenal are starting to show the resolve they had when we went unbeaten for 49 games, winning games in the second half and the dying minuets.
This result (from 2 – 0 down) will give the whole club confidence.
Asrene Wenger truely is a Champion!
Stan:
Too true mate!
In years to come we will look back on this Arsenal team as something special. Just wait and see!
I felt we missed Djourou yesterday, at least early on. Who can fill in for Fab if he needs a rest or is, shudder the thought, injured? Is it Denilson?
Great comeback i must say. The Cesc ran the show second half and the Beast was well hungry for goals to make up for the og. Its good to have Diaby back playing too especially as we seem to have picked up another couple of injuries. As for filling in for the Cesc well we have a certain no7 call little Mozart who can do quiet an effective job in there i reckon.
Let’s go Sweet Gunners Kids! It is Un believable thing that you going.This implies both the strength of our kids and the confidence that is being grown as well as the great job that is been done by i can say “THE BEST MANAGER,WENGER!!!”
I AM SO GLAD OF OUR PLAYER’S SPRIT, ALL OF THEM.
GO FOR ANOTHER BIG AND SMART VICTORY!!!!!!!!!
YOU GONNERS FOR LIFE>
