salaam all
our last home match tonight was against Everton. i was quite worried for this game as Everton's place in Europe next season is still not yet safe and quite a number of our first team players not available. i do not want to lose at home at all this season. we really need to start establishing the Emirates as a fortress now. i know we only lose once at the Emirates since we started playing there, but we need to keep that record. and pre match events still left me in a mix feelings about the match. Villa lost (surprisingly) to Wigan last night, so Everton won't be pushing too much in tonight match. then seeing our starting eleven le Boss put out bring back my worry. a midfield of Theo-Denilson-Gil-Eboue seems so wrong. but hey, what can a fan do. when the starting whistle blow, there'll be no end to my support
not surprisingly, it's a poor match to say the least from us. to make matter worse, Everton choose to sit back and join us in making the game more dull. quite a bad decision i think from David Moyes to not attack us given that we played with half reserve players in the first eleven. and boy, did they not pay for it. Nik (who's been poor all night even though he seems to try very hard) scored with a thunderous header from a very good cross from the substitute Armand. so Everton must wait until their final league match to confirm their place in European football next season
as for us, we played so poor i don't think i want to talk about the match as a whole anymore. but i'll sat something about some of the player's performances tonight. some of the players just did not appreciate the chance given by le Boss to show that they are capable of playing as regulars in the league. Denilson blew his chance big time. same can be said for Eboue (btw, how many chances he will get) and Theo. Nik tried hard, very hard at times but you are not Cesc Fabregas my friend. you are a striker and you should spend more time inside the penalty box rather than our own half. see what you able to do when you attack the ball inside the penalty box? i know that probably le Boss asked you to improve on your link up play but surely le Boss did not ask you to try and replace Cesc's function in the team eh?
enough with all the negativity. let's talk about the good things we can take out of this match. Song really is growing into the central defender position. calm, strong and so able to bring out the ball from defense and start the attack. he might be the new signing needed at the defensive department next season. Gil look professional as ever. the same can be said for Gallas and Jens, who got his home farewell. thanks for everything Jens. you may have your flaws, but you are an Arsenal Legend for me. i will never forget what you gave us over the years. Gael as excellent as ever, my MOTM for us (i picked Yobo for overall MOTM by the way). running everywhere; right, left, up and down. excellent!! A$$ley who?
last but not least, Armand seems to play better in the left wing role than in the left back role he supposed to be excel at. maybe it worth to give him his chance to start against Sunderland next week. surely he can't do no worse than Eboue. i think even Khyril Muhaimeen will do better than Eboue in that right wing position..haha..don't be surprise to see le Boss come out and say we don't need to buy a winger as we already have Armand waiting to break into the first team. that will be so just like le Boss
i'll end it here. so here's hoping Chel$ea to lose tomorrow so that we can still get that number 2 spot. and i just can bare watch the traitor + money grabber that is A$$ley Cole get the championship
