Bring on the last five
Didn't get to watch the Juve, Man Utd and Porsmouth game so I couldn't comment much. I only get to see a small article in Japan's newspaper with a picture of Flamini tackling a Juve player I couldn't quite recognize. Didn't expect the game to be a 0-0 but all is good. Villareal are flying high at the moment and it will take a disciplined performance by our five men midfield to silence Riquelme who is easily their Rooney. I still believe that we have what it takes to go into the final of CL.
I didn't expect us to beat Man Utd but I must admit that I began to believe that we could get the three points last week. We were just playing so well that you start to believe that this team could overcome anyone. It proves that we couldn't. But it's alright. That goes to remind the manager that we still need another 2 or 3 top players in the summer.
People are criticizing Adebayor for wasting two good chances against Porsmouth but I think it is clear from the beginning that Adebayor is not a finisher. He plays in the box and he is willing to shoot but he hasn't got that predator instinct. His technique isn't the best but did we not praise his strength and workrate few weeks ago? I think it's unfair to blame him. He is just an average player who is good at few things and bad at few other things. You can't expect him to be as good as TH.
If we want a complete forward then it takes more than 7 million really. You can't get a Rooney or Torres with that amount of money nowadays. But Adebayor is young and depending on his talent, he could still grow into a good player.
As for van Persie, I have always loved his knack for scoring good goals. I always think that he is better than Adebayor. But you have to admit that he is not as strong as Adebayor and he doesn't work as hard. He will fluorish when his teammates play well and dominate the game. He will make sure that we turn the dominance into goals. But when we are struggling, he won't be able to fight for the ball the way Adebayor would.
So it all depends on Wenger's judgment now. The manager has to be able to predict the kind of game we would get into and choose the right players.
Now we are back to the situation where we need Spurs to drop points. We have five games to go and we can't drop any point anymore. I don't know if we could do that but hey, it costs nothing to keep your faith!
