Re: Arsenal vs Chelsea

Agree with that ^

Chelsea have been relying on their individuals so far, and all 3 of them can really hurt you if you aren't focused enough

RDM would start Moses if he is clever.

by Ganso Fri Sep 28, 2012 9:20 pm

Wouldn't be surprised if RDM threw Moses to the dogs like he did with Oscar vs Juve.I still think that both Oscar and Moses will be on the bench though,unfortunately RDM is obsessed with playing a defensive winger.

I think this game is going to be more entertaining then people think with a good amount of goals in it. I'm thinking at least 4 goals total.

I don't know how Arsenal will fare in Europe but It's really a simple thing for Arsenal moving forward in the EPL. They have one of the best and most creative midfielder's in the league with Cazorla and he has made more scoring opportunities then any other player in the EPL so if Arsenal finishes there chances they will win.

It's really going to come down to that for them in the EPL for the rest of the year because Cazorla will control the final third and make lots of chances and he will just get better at it, not worse. The funny part is he is still "adjusting" to the league.

It's crazy as I never thought I would say Arsenal are fine in defense and all they need to do is finish and they should win.

I'm a little down on there strikers so I will say 3-2 to Chelsea but it could easily be the other way around. Chelsea isn't much of a team yet with all the new faces but they have so much individual talent now that goals can spring up from anywhere.

I was thinking the other day, since Arsenal got Cazorla for pennies on the dollar, wouldn't it be awesome if they just said screw it and dropped 50 mill on a stud sure thing striker like Falcao or Cavani to make themselves a real force in Europe for the next 5 years.

I mean what a shot across the bow that would be, they would be a scoring machine.

I predicted a 3-2 Chelsea win. One way or the other, Walcott will get on the score sheet. Mad

I also expect Mata to score one way or the other. Maybe a free kick.

He won't start lol

Doesn't have to start to score. He has too much speed for Cole these days. Hopefully Hazard can return the favour and rip Jenkinson a new one.

Jenko hasn't faced a player of Hazard's talent so far this season.

We have to do well , we're only missing a goalscorer. our defense has been terrific recently but hazard and mata and even oscar could be a problem. diaby vs ramires :bow:

if Gervais Yao kouassi starts i hope Gervinho will show up

by Sina Fri Sep 28, 2012 10:18 pm

think jenko-merte proved that that our right side of defence isnt as vulnerable as some want to make merte make up for it with his reading ability and jenks is soild one on ones can be let down by his technique or drag outta position but expect either rambo/chambo to work hard and protect him
not that im not worried but im team jenko Razz

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Sep 28, 2012 10:45 pm

Hazard does his best work starting out wide and coming inside like a lot of wide players in this league.

Hazard will becoming up against Diaby and Arteta more often than Jenkinson tbh.

Because i think it will not have many goals does not mean it won't be entertaining for example i considered City v Arsenal last week very entertaining.

Talent means nothing anyway, besides i disagree City have better players than Hazard.

by LeBéninois Fri Sep 28, 2012 11:08 pm

this game should be top and i expect us to win

midfield will be ok, no worry but Hazard-mata vs our defense and not wasting chances could be they key

by Lex Sat Sep 29, 2012 12:09 am

Jenkinson has kept the likes of Silva and Aguero hush hush in past (and recent) outings, so i dunno why people think Hazard will trouble him

He went up against Scott Sinclair for most of that match.

Silva is shite and Hazard is already better than him. Keeping him quiet isn't really an achievement he's been out of form for 10 months now.

Aguero played the lone role up front . Jenko didn't have to mark him.

by Lex Sat Sep 29, 2012 12:44 am

Hazard better than Silva? Steady on, Gil

by Ganso Sat Sep 29, 2012 1:06 am

Silva has been crap since January,in terms of form,Hazard is much better atm.

by Swanhends Sat Sep 29, 2012 1:09 am

Hazard better bring his diving legs, he really let the team down vs Juve

Yea, well I'm more of a La Liga fan so I like to see the ball go in the net. Sure a game can be entertaining at 1-1, I totally agree but it can also be really dull as well.

If you get a 3-2 game it's a much better chance of being a great game, plus a tie sucks. The game is always beter with a winner.

Call it the American in me but I like to see a winner. Also, there are a ton of 1-1 stinkers in the EPL and no offense Chelsea fans as this is more in the past then now but I have seen a bunch of really boring 1-1 or 1-0 Chelsea games for what it's worth.
