Chelsea v.s Arsenal
ok tonight is Chelsea V.s Arsenal.
I'm pretty bored at home so i shall do my very own FOOTBALL FOCUS ^_^
On paper it looks pretty straight forward. No Henry, No Rosiscky, no Gallas, no Toure. Hell that's 5 almost confirm 1st team starters.
not to mention no Henry. That's like taking the 'finish' out of the entire Arsenal team.
ok fine. let's be very objective and compare the 2 teams slowly
Assuming Arsenal plays 4-5-1 ad Chelsea plays 4-3-3.
1st up, comparing the keepers
Carlo Cudicini v.s Jens Lehmann
this department is pretty half fight. Both keepers are vastly experienced and proven at the highest level. I think the difference between the 2 will be whether or not Jens Lehmann can keep a cool heard
next up, the back 4
Ferriera-Carvallho-Terry-Cole
v.s
Adebayor/Van Persie
No matter how i see it, without Henry, Arsenal's attack is blunted, terribly. Terry has the aerial ability to challenge Adebayor while Carvallho has the pace to counter both Van Persie and Adebayor's pace. What they need to look out for is Van Persie's penchant for controlling the ball with his hand =p.
Ballack-Makelele-Lampard
v.s
Hleb-Fabregas-Gilberto-Ljungberg
The Midfield is a more tricky battle i guess. on paper Chelsea's looks quite strong. but Arsenal might just give them a run for their money. I think its down to who can control the midfield. I think Chelsea's midfield should be able to dominate possesion.
Shevchenko-Drogba-Robben/J.cole
v.s
Eboue-Senderos-clichy-Flamini
Arsenal's defense looks too makeshift for my liking. Drogba has made Senderos look like a fool in thei previous encounters this might be a point for Arsenal to look out. Shevchenko also comes in to do the occasionaly flicks and decoy runs to give Drogba space, so this could be somthing else to look out for. robben or Cole adds guile to this front three. both full backs must be at their best to take them on. I guess this goes to Chelsea too.
so NO MATTER HOW I LOOK AT IT. Arsenal's Back 4 is just too weak to protect them from Chelsea's Front 3.
I think the most important factor is still the midfield. If it all comes to a standstill the moment of brilliance from Fabregas. but on a normal day I think Chelsea should get the win easily.
then again i have this sneaky feeling that Arsenal might just sneak the win and pull it off.
as a man utd fan. HERE'S TO ARSENAL FC ^_^.
