Back to the Champions League and we're up against a side whom we thrashed 7-0 back at the Emirates. After a heart dramatics weekend against a foe whom we all despise, the lads travelling to Prague to secure the qualification to the Champions League Knock-out stages.. So its...
Brief Report on Previous game - Arsenal FC VS Manchester United
What a game that was. Once again, Arsenal are capable to give us the game that is so passionate, so close enough to reduce the fans to their weakest point in their heart beats.
The unlikely hero was William Gallas when he scored a dramatic late equaliser to secure Arsenal a point from their heart stopping 2-2 draw with Manchester United.
Arsenal however, maintained a strong start until Wayne Rooney broke the deadlock, just before the First half ends, where Wes Brown beaten Hleb off the ball before he slipped it in C.Ronaldo down the right.
The cross met by Rooney at the near post, and his shot deflected up off Gallas and past Almunia into the net.
Arsenal clearly pumped up when the second half commenced and their immediate response as they set the equaliser after just 3 minutes. Fabregas scored his 11th goal of the season from 12 yards.
After Fabregas' equaliser, Arsenal looked set to maintain their unbeaten start to the season, but C.Ronaldo restored United's lead.
Frustrations grew, but Arsenal did not give in, and fight till the end. The unbeaten side remains when Gallas struck in stoppage time. A last minute gasp with Arsenal now famously known as Kings of last minute goals.
Arsenal still on top, still tied to Manchester United to the battle for 2007/2008 Premiership title.
So we're up against Slavia Prague. After that 7-0 thrashing, I hope now, the team wouldn't be in total confidence where, we tend to over play without no end product. This game should be treated as much as it is to every other game. Securing to the Champions League KO stages with just one point left.
Slavia maybe poor on their away form against us, but this time they have home advantage. We have to push through on all of our games. We have to show who we are, in Europe, In the domestic league and cups, in short everywhere. The makings of a true champions is still within our grasp thus a win and unbeaten start should maintain where it is.
After Arsène's latest statement where Almunia stays on goal, looks like Almunia will start this CLs game. Expecting to see the hero, Gallas, Toure, Clichy and Sagna in defense. Should provide us a solid defense back line - can be seen from their recent performances.
I'm more concern on the upfront more than anything else to be honest. Are we going to see Eduardo to start or will it be Ade alone upfront again? I'm skeptical on the fact Ade starts alone nowadays. He needs a consistent partner who can deliver while he makes a living hell for the opposing defenders. I'm really hoping to see Eduardo to start - the man desperately needs game time.
So, we should be able to win this game. Wouldn't predict a final scoreline. But a win for me.
