2-0 defeat against Liverpool

Arsene Wenger chould be prepare for more critical questions after a unlucky defeat against Liverpool. It was a close game until Frimpong got his second yellow card. Liverpool got more space and took over the game. The firsth goal was a really unlucky own goal where the debutant Miquel shot the ball into Ramsey so the ball did get a perfect arc over Szczesny and into the goal. Arsenal tried to reduce the score but in stead Liverpool scored a second goal on a fast attack when most of the Arsenal players still was in attack.

Arsenal got bad news already after 14 minutes, Laurent Koscielny had to be substitue with the youngster Miquel. Before the match already Arsenal had huge injuries problems so thsi was absolutely not what Arsene Wenger and Arsenal needed. It did that Wenger had to play with three debuts in Miquel, Jenkinson and Frimpong and later Landsbury.

Now it will be a really important match against Udinese in Italy in the middle of the week where Arsenal have a 1-0 victory after the firsth leg at Emirates. For match report: http://thearsenalblogg.blogspot.com/2011/08/decisive-match-in-udine.html

The player ratings:

W. Szczesny 8.0: - played a really good match, could not do anything with the two goals, but had some amazing saves

C.Jenkinson 6.0: - played a good debut, but was a bit passive so it came a lot of croses into the arsenal box from his side

T.Vermaelen 9.0: - with no doubt Arsenal best player, where was the mistakes? Had full controll with Andy Caroll.

L.Koscielny **: Played good until he got injured just after 14 minutes. Huge set back for arsenal.

B.Sagna 6.5: Played good and solid on right back. Was good offensive, and had controll defencive to.

E.Frimpong 5.5: Started sloppy, but got bether. Was close to score on a long distance shot in firsth half. Played tough the hole game and the red card was no suprise.

A.Ramsey 6.0: Had a lot of passes that did not come trough. Was invisible in many minutes of the match.

T.Walcott 6.5: Lost the ball several times and did not create much.  
S.Nasri 7.5: Did play a good match. Created some chances alone. Was Arsenal most dangerous player for Liverpool.
A.Arshavin 6.0: Had a lot of misses, but also some good involvments, not close to his top level
R.Van Persie 7.0: Did not have many chances but the few chances he had he made something of. Had a huge chance after about 70 minutes where it should have been a goal for Arsenal.



Szczesny played a good match



Subsitution:

I.Miquel 7.0: Played a impressive debut after comming in for Koscielny. Had controll and proved that he is a talent for the future.

H.Landsbury **: Came in after Frimpong's red card. Played ok.
N.Bendtner**: Did came in to reduce for Arsenal, but did not have any opportunity.

Preview: Arsenal-Liverpool

A victory today against Liverpool can be really important and stop the caos that are in the club. The fans are critic to Wenger selling and not buying, several player are injured and both Gervinho and Song are suspended.

A defeat, unlike a victory, will create more caos. And the next matches after the Liverpool match are away against Udinese where they have to loose with just 1 goal, play draw or win the match. Next weekend Arsenal plays at Old Trafford. It is no doubt that it is not just joy and happiness in the london club right now, but a victory today could end that situation.

For many years the problem for Arsenal has been the keepers, but now Szczesny seems to be the right man in that position. This year it is more on the field we have problems. Van persie needs help to score goals, and the midtfield needs more players after Fabregas and maybe Nasri leaving the club. Clichy leaved the club in defences, so it would not be stupid to buy a defender to.

Lets hope Arsenal wins the match!
