West Ham Utd 0 - 0 Arsenal
It took me few days to figure out what to write as I was running out of comment. Same story, same problem. I have finally decided to make this my last blog entry with regards to my opinion on:
1. The fact that almost everyone else know how to stop us from scoring and how to exploit our defense. Alright their plan might not always work but when they are decent there is more than 60% chance and that is more than enough to see us faltering by 11 points by September.
2. The fact that Wenger has been too stubborn with his gameplan and that FA Cup Final proved to be exceptional case instead of sign of Wenger's acceptance of the need in adjusting tactic and varying attacking option. But then maybe the man just doesn't know how to play tactical game. He lives to preach the beauty of total football.
3. The fact that Wenger has developed a team of very talented players who could pass very well at times but has problem with taking the risk to shoot. We might well be the team that scored most goals last season but that was only because we played risky game by throwing almost everyone into the opponent's half most of the time. Had Man Utd got as many chances as ours last season they could probably top the table.
Against West Ham we seemed attack without any purpose. Some nice flicks and passes and we ran out of idea. Some risky passes and West Ham counterattacked the next minute. At least West Ham played well so as to help me endure the 90 minutes.
Tonight we will be facing the Ajax team who are just as troubles as we are at the moment.
Both managers have been admitting their willingness to play for a draw so unless Reyes, Ljungberg or Hleb comes up with moment of brilliance a draw is what you gonna get, a 0-0 draw probably.
