LESSON FROM ANFIELD

  All gooners will be asking one another what went wrong today. i thought accept for monreal, we named a very good side today. but what the heck went gaga in our minds in that 20minutes. worst 20minutes of my life in football you would say. but here let me make it all clear to you.
    We have doubted arsenal title winning mentality and strength. Last night we even have more cause to doubt it. When the first goal was conceded, my mind flashed back to the Chelsea"s game and remembered that it was the same exact way they had conceded the early against liverpool last month at the bridge. Chelsea never lost their heads it was an early goal and there was still lots of foot ball to be played they must have told themselves. That's what pundits will like to call a "title winning mentality"
      Unfortunately not only did the first set-piece undo us, the second totally brought us down. Today we conceded goals from a place that has been our revelation from the whole of this season. I may think that this is why the players believed they were destined for a loss. its not like Liverpool worked hard for their first two goals.
     From then on Liverpool took the advantage of our open spaces at the back, pressed hard and high and created the remainder of the goals from deep position playing the ball over and through our two man defense without mercy.
    THE FIRST LESSON I SHOULD SUPPOSE is to ask ourselves if it is right to start BFG against attackers who are rather not "Crouch tall"? So many and Wenger thinks Vermalen has little role to play but i guess its not so. Vermaelen and Koscielny would be a better start against the likes of Manchester city, Manchester united Chelsea and Liverpoo. We all now should be able to see why. who knows how much more goals we would have conceded at Old Trafford had Mertasacker not gone to the sick bay.
    THE SECOND LESSON is should Mesut Ozil start every arsenal game? For me arsenal at his moment lacks the players that makes Ozil effective for now. This is well maybe because we start to many midfielders at times. Arsenal had players more behind the ball than in front of the ball when attacking. This then makes our creativity too limited when there are no forward runs. This is where we miss THEO, I guess he is our only striker.
    THE THIRD LESSON is we need another striker. we had the chance to equalize almost immediately after the first goal but Giroud was unable to use his right leg to dribble a defender and that killed it. Poldi or Bedntner are the best striking options that we could use but they lack what we need in a striker. Giroud is more adept as a supporting striker because looking at his stats he has been more involved in the creation of Arsenal's goals than being at the end of it. So this means he has got that midfield mentality.

 That's all folks I hope we learn them lessons. leave your comments for my first write up. Manchester is next.
