am not the one yang so excited about football after I rest from any football match to watch for, yet still in passion. ihiks :D
so, last night was the match between my favourite football club, Arsenal vs Stoke City. Arsenal was back on top of the table for last Sunday's night match. and draw.~
*evenly matched side*
Seeing the stand up lining from Arsenal, rasa macam lil' bit kecewa I could say. haha
rindu tgok Sanchez back in action however, Wenger made his mind to save away Ozil and Sanchez not even in substitute bench. Oh should I say ' put the guns down ' before real harder battle versus Chelsea for the next match. and maybe jugak Wenger realize how ganaihnya pemain Stoke City perform dlm match so thats why dia taknak star dia injured ke ape kan sbb Ozil pun slight foot injury. Kawan akak punya andaian la. understand him for making decision. ahaa..
Elneny, 23 from Egyptian new player pun tak perform last night. Well, see what Wenger will done for another match. Sure that Arsenal will struggle harder and bring out important player to win the league.
Surely the commentary from the games, Wenger had bring in Iwobi and bring out Walcott where some says Walcott bad on the left. Iwobi perform in immatured way. The 1st 10 to 15 mins was still in a good momentum, but then he still young and should more experience before put in this action.
from bbc.com, of what the managers of both Stoke and Arsenal said:
Stoke boss Mark Hughes: "It was a game between evenly matched sides. Both teams approached the game in the right manner and created chances. All-in-all we're pleased. It shows our progress. Teams have found it difficult to get points here.
"We are showing everyone we have belief in our ability. There was a period where Arsenal had some play around the box without creating too much. It was a similar story at the other end.
"It was a competitive game. At times, there were good opportunities to put the ball in the box and so the only criticism I would have is that we were reluctant to do that."
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "Maybe we had a better opportunities to score, they played very well, very physical and were very direct, which is an unusual style for them.
"We needed to be strong physically and had a great spirit, we fought very hard but couldn't take our chances. It is a hard fought 0-0. We have done better than years before at this ground and showed we can fight even when we miss certain players.
"It shows the spirit in the team, the desire and togetherness. We were less creative but on the physical front we did well."

Jeremy Wilson from telegraph.co.uk reported that,
" There is a theory that Arsenal’s rise to the top of the Premier League can be explained by some sort of toughening up of the team or Arsene Wenger somehow rediscovering the competitive instinct of yesteryear. The simpler truth is that Arsenal are a very different proposition because they have added three genuinely world-class players to their squad in each of the past three summers.
Without two of them – Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil – their creativity was drastically restricted but it was also thanks to the third – Petr Cech – that they were not heading back to London with what would have been a fifth defeat in their last eight visits to the Britannia Stadium."
All in all, keep the faith. #coyg #gunners #gooners
