Arsenal vs Chelsea

Honestly i thought Chelsea deserve to win or at least get something from this game. I felt that the linesman cost them the points they deserve. Twice in the first half Kalou was put through only to be denied by the linesman. Chelsea could have been 2 nil up for those chances.

The first goal by Van persie was a clear offside. I thought that Bosingwa had a touch but replay showed otherwise.

After Arsenal score the second goal, Chelsea panicked, they lost their tempo and shape. Up til this point, Chelsea had dominated the midfield. Arsenal midfield was non-existence. Our strikers was isolated up front. I told Rh if arsenal were to win, it would be chelsea undoing rather then our brilliance.

I was half right, e 1st goal was clearly the linesman fault and the 2nd goal can be attributed to poor defending and also quick finishing from van persie.

Van persie is really the man to watch for arsenal. Dangerous and creative, lets hope RVP stay injury free. I reckon he will rack up points in fantasy football league. I notice that fabregas really plays very deep and do alot of defending. The defending part is really taking out his attacking instinct, I really hope wenger can find a defensive mid to liberate cesc.

I really find denilson similar to fabregas. Creative play, always looking for a pass and cross. But denilson is denied the growing path that cesc have. Cesc played at arsenal right midfield while learning his trade from pires vieira ljunberg and gibertho. Whilst playing in a winning team, there is no pressure and u can learn. When things get tricky vieira henry pires is there to save the day. Denilson is different, he is now expected to start arsenal games week in and out and performed. No mistake is tolerated. I find myself blaming him for 1 bad pass, lose ball but i soon realise he is just 18 if i am not wrong. And he had start only a dozen games up to last season and yet this season he is expected to come into arsenal midfield and play like wonder.

Alex song bilabong, everytime i read report of him, he played badly and always get criticised but whenever i watch him play, i always felt that he does quite alrite and often i find arsenal played better defensively with him around

Perhaps too much is expected of them. But this year denilson and song will really learn alot, no other place in the world will the 2 youngster get the chance to play in and out weekly epl and champions league. Its such a wonderful experience for them. BUT.....

at the cost of arsenal...
