This time we took it to them. We showed we wanted the win more than anything else. This time we created some chances and took it clinically. This time Arsene made the right selection. This time we proved our winning mentality and of course was extra motivated because of our last defeat. This time Fabianski showed that he is equally as good as Sczesny. This time we have had two world class goal keepers at Arsenal for a long time now.
Today Arsenal was better organised and focused. Although had Fabianski not saved those early Sturridge chances I wouldn't know how we would respon, but we got back into the game and responded well and refused to be intimidated by them.
A very good work by Flamini and captain Arteta. Although at times they sat too deep in the middle, they provided formidable support for the defence. Arteta got forward at times but his playing mentality of nowadays limited him from staying there. Flamini closed up the middle with his ferocious rugby like tackles, diving into all the challenges available. This forced Liverpool to play through the wings at the dying stages.
Today Wenger made a better selection than the last one. This time we had players who added pace to the game in the Ox and Poldoski. These players and the presence of Ozil took the game to Liverpool. The Ox and Poldi was excellent on the pitch. The strength and pace of the ox totally conquered Liverpool. we controlled the game without having much of the ball and it was unbelievable work-rate from our two goal scorers.Funny enough the two players almost spoilt the day, Podolski conceded a penalty, and Suarez was denied a penalty after a foul by the ox in the box.
Ozil was totally in the game and replicated that early mesmerising form. he was at the start of the two goals we scored. he also had two efforts on goals saved. Infact he was the second best player on the pitch. the space was provided for him by Sanogo who did not drop deep too often like Giroud would do. Sanogo had a good game for a youngster and for someone just coming back from injury. He has the strength, a better footwork and a good chest. He will like to improve on his link-up play sometime.
Monreal was superb in his interceptions. Jenkinson was comfortable although sterling troubled him a little bit. Fabianski was the man of the game. Brilliant save from every angle. he was the reason we won with his well timed rush outs to save as many defence splitting passes that came our way. Some fans are now prefer Fabianski to Sczesny. i just wished he had more time on the pitch.
A very good display from the boys in general. Certainly proved that they are challengers. I hope Fabianski starts ahead in Wednesdays champions league game.
Up Next ; Bayern Munich
