COME ON ARSENAL!
Add comment November 3rd, 2007
Arsenal and Manchester United. The two most exciting football teams in the country, arguably in Europe. And today they’ll face off in a top of the table clash to excite every fan in the country.
The prizes:
For Manchester United, the retention of superiority.
For Arsenal, maturation and credibility.
The key areas for Arsenal are at opposite ends of the pitch. In the centre, we know Cesc will deliver. I’m also fairly sure that Alex Hleb will pull out another exemplary performance. The critical parts of the pitch are
a) The defensive tirumvate of Almunia, Gallas, and Toure. Up against a fantastic United frontline, they’ll need to be at their absolute best to keep a clean sheet.
b) Upfront. Whether Adebayor is alone or with a partner (most likely Hleb), he needs to turn in one of his big-game performances and end his personal mini goal drought.
If those two areas are solid, we could be in for a brilliant day.
COME ON ARSENAL.
