Sparta Prague 0 - 2 Arsenal
Still not getting any chance to watch the highlight. Will watch it soon though, thanks to the arseblogger. By now everybody are raving over Thierry Henry's amazing achievement. I wasn't surprised that he broke Ian Wright's record but I was surprised at how good he can be when he really wants it. Out for so long and seriously lacking match sharpness as well as fitness, he scored such an excellent goal in less than 10 minutes on the pitch. It was such a great day for the gooners who are suffering from our current domestic form. I don't want to spoil it by pointing out on our defensive problem.
I would instead like to point out on the good news such as..
Pires' remarkably rose from his dead once his pal was on the pitch. It's clear that Pires was kept on the side because he is one of the trio with whom Henry works best with. While Cole can still perform without Henry, Pires and Bergkamp are now two old maestro whose remaining asset is their surreal vision and imagination. They could see what others couldn't even't imagine. Unless you are of Henry or Rooney type, which is rare. And when you are that type of genius, only teammates with such surreal vision could understand where and when to find you. Having said that, I will stick to my belief that Henry needs to learn to work with others and we need to learn to play without Henry.
Reyes' injury isn't serious. He will be back and let's hope for a better partnership between our two quicksilvers this time around.
Henry mentioned how he wished to play alongside Nicholas Anelka and Ian Wright. He even saw himself playing on the wing or behind the strikers. Now that would be delicious. I always think he will do great job playing deep orchestrating the attack. That is provided we have intelligent and quality forwards who could read Henry's mind and earn the captain's respect. Someone such as Fernando Torres? Or Carlos Tevez? As if we are Chelsea. Well what matters is we are safe knowing we might still be cheering his name three or four years later when another great forward has stepped up to take his mantle. Seems like the lad is not that arrogant after all. He just needs his genius equals to share the pitch with.
Fab-Flam were sharing their responsibility to cover the midfield well enough in a CL away game which is never easy. They may still be too lightweight to face Premiership sides which are full of Savage sort of players but they mature up quickly.
We have had one of the best starts in our CL campaign and one of the worst starts in our Premiership campaign. I am sure should we be told that we are going to win the CL this season but finish fifth in the Premiership, we would take it willingly. Of course we have had a weak group but we have an extra motivation to win the CL now that the Premiership is somewhat beyond our reach. Wenger's team is anything but predictable when it comes to results. So let's just wait and see.
Meanwhile, congratulation to Thierry Henry's 186 goals achievement. Long live va va voom!!
