Testing Times Ahead...

Club football at the top level can be tiring but the number of matches a top team needs to play every season can be a blessing in disguise. The next match is never too far away so a chance for redemption is readily available. Arsenal lost against Sunderland and deservedly so. We played poorly and lack of desire was the main reason behind it. But nevertheless, We our boys can redeem themselves against Standard Leige in Europe. An 11Gunners preview of the same..

Arsenal play Standard Liege at the Emirates today and should beat them comprehensively. We just need a draw  to go through and it looks highly unlikely that we will come out empty empty handed. News has come in that Gibbs is fit to play and is ready for selection. Thank God. Meanwhile Wenger has come out all gunns blazing against the English press and its fascination with “English Talent” is well known. When he was asked about Walcott’s chances in this World Cup, he said that he does not give a $hit to England’s World Cup campaign and for him club come before country. As usual he has opened a Pandora’s box and we are gonna hear a lot on it in coming days.

Standard Liege coach Laszlo Boloni has appreciated Wenger and he believes that AW is a man of vision. Amen to that. This tie will set the tone for Sunday’s match against Chelsea and we need to do well in both the matches. These matches will either make or break our campaign on both the fronts – domestic and Europe. In fact, if we don’t win against Chelsea at the weekend then things might go out of our hands as in that case we will have to bridge a gap of 11 points with a game in hand which is gonna be a herculean task. So, this match is very important as it will set the tone for Sunday’s clash as well.

I believe that it we are gonna win 3-nil. Yes, I am expecting a miracle to take place for us to maintain a clean sheet. Go Gunners..
